Resumo:
The Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is a powerful technique for the explicit modeling of fractures. This method has the background of the Finite Element Method and is based on the Partition Unity Method. The essential idea of the method is the addition of enrichment functions to the displacement field approximation for the representation of the discontinuities in the model. The crack geometry is modeled independently of the mesh and remeshing with crack growth is unnecessary. This thesis presents an ABAQUS implementation of XFEM through the UEL subroutine for two-dimensional analysis of fracture propagation following the Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics theory. Fracture propagation occurs in an automatic procedure. The fracture criterion is based on the stress intensity factors. The domain form of the interaction integral was used for the computation of the stress intensity factors and the maximum circumferential stress criterion was used to determine the fracture propagation direction. The model was applied to the analysis of the propagation of fractures in structures of quasi-brittle material. The implementation shows good results in the prediction of the fracture propagation trajectories and proves the efficiency of the XFEM in Mode I and mixed mode fracture analyzes.
