A robust 3D crack growth method based on the eXtended Finite Element Method and the Fast Marching Method

Résumé

In the context of the eXtended Finite Element Method (X-FEM), the use of two level set functions allows the representation of the crack to beachieved regardless of the mesh. The initial crack geometry is represented by two distinct level set functions, and the crack propagation is simulated by anupdate of these two level set functions. In this paper, we propose a new approach, based on the Fast Marching Method (FMM), to update the level set functions. We also propose a new implementation of the FMM, designed for tetrahedral volume meshes. We then extend this method to all types of volume elements (tetrahedra, hexahedra, pentahedra, pyramids) available in a standard finite element library. The proposed approach allows one to use the same mesh to solve the mechanical problem and to update the level set functions. Non-planar quasi-static crack growth simulations are presented to demonstrate the robustness of the approach, compared to existing methods based on the integration of Hamilton-Jacobi equations or geometric approaches.
