Dear colleagues,



Apologies for cross postings.



The second ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on the eXtended Finite Element

Method (XFEM) will take place in Cardiff (Cardiff University) in the

period 29 June - 1 July 2011. [see http://www.xfem2011.com for

We would like to invite you and your students to submit original

research contributions in the area of partition of unity enrichment.

[SOLVED] 3D crack growth modelling in Abaqus by XFEM

Submitted by Yazri Yaakob on

Good day everyone,

I'm new to iMechanica and look forward to getting to know everyone here.

I'm currently doing analysis of interlaminar crack growth in fibre-reinforced composite by Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) using Abaqus. I'm a new Abaqus user and therefore I have to familiarise myself by constructing random 2D and 3D models with isotropic materials before jumping onto anisotropic.
