Coupled hydro-mechanical modelling of saturated fractured porous media with unified embedded finite element discretisations

TL;DR: In this paper , a unified finite element strategy for coupled hydro-mechanical (HM) analysis of fractured porous media where cracks arbitrarily intersect standard finite elements is presented. But this strategy is built by employing a discrete strong discontinuity approach and a coupling finite elements framework for the mechanical displacement and fluid pressure fields.

Finite elements with an embedded reinforcement for the simulation of reinforced concrete structures strengthened with FRP

TL;DR: Specific finite elements for the simulation of pull-out mechanisms are here presented and the presence of interfaces is taken into account by enriching the displacement approximation by means of additional unknowns defined at the element level.

A finite element method for crack growth without remeshing

TL;DR: In this article, a displacement-based approximation is enriched near a crack by incorporating both discontinuous elds and the near tip asymptotic elds through a partition of unity method.

Element‐free Galerkin methods

TL;DR: In this article, an element-free Galerkin method which is applicable to arbitrary shapes but requires only nodal data is applied to elasticity and heat conduction problems, where moving least-squares interpolants are used to construct the trial and test functions for the variational principle.
