    • NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF FATIGUE CRACK GROWTH 

      Vethe, Stine (Master thesis, 2012)
      The purpose of this study was to explore the posibilities and challenges with simulating fatigue crack growth (FCG) by the extended finite element method (XFEM). Another aim was to develope a procedure for XFEM FCG simulations ...
