Abstract |
This paper presents a tailored extended finite-element model (XFEM) to predict crack propagation and fracture properties within idealized and digital cementitious material samples. The microstructure of the idealized cement-based materials includes the cement paste, particles, and interfacial boundaries. The tailored XFEM was developed to allow crack propagation within finite elements by using discontinuous enrichment functions and level-set methods....
