Abstract

The Level Set Method is used to describe mathematically the propagation of surfaces, by the resolution and approximation of a set of differential equations. This technique has been widely used on the XFEM framework, specially for crack propagation. However, there are other techniques based on geometrical considerations, as the Fast Marching Method. In this study, it is proposed a geometrical related technique based on the Fast Marching Method and Level Set Method for crack growth description in XFEM. Therefore, the results could be used directly on fracture mechanics analysis using XFEM.
