Abstract:
      Representation of discontinuities and handling of hanging nodes are two key points of numerical simulation of cohesive crack propagation via h-adaptive technique such as element subdivision.Firstly,a unified correlation rule for enhanced finite element method,as a combination of coverage of mathematical mode,suitable for representing discontinuous displacement field,and reconstruction of physical mode,suitable for dealing with hanging nodes,is proposed by introducing a transitional element between mathematical element and physical element.The corresponding finite element formulas are then derived.Secondly,a scheme for h-adaptivity,with two indexes,i.e.,the influencing radius of mathematical crack tip and the crack-tip mesh size,is put forward for modeling of cohesive crack propagation.The reasonability and effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated against two examples.
