Abstract:
      When solving inclusion problem by the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM), an element is split into many regions by the interface between inclusions and matrix. In order to calculate element stiffness matrix, integral in these regions is necessary. The urgent problem to be solved is to find a convenient method to describe integral regions for programming. The process of forming integral regions is taken as circles repeatedly splitting a quadrangle. Geometrical relation between remained region and circles is analyzed. In the process, broken sides are substituted by original sides, and remained region is substituted by quadrangle that discards no or some sides. All possible geometrical relations between circle and remained regions are listed through permutation and combination.
