The extended finite element method (XFEM) is an extension to the classical finite element method (FEM), using the concepts of partition of unity and meshless approaches. It is specifically designed to improve the performance of the conventional finite element method, while keeping the computational costs at an acceptable level, and avoiding the ambiguities and implications of FEM in mesh propagation problems. XFEM has now been widely adopted by civil, mechanical, material and aerospace engineering disciplines all over the world and is used to accurately determine the level of performance and safety of cracked structures.
