“…The displacement correlation/extrapolation techniques consist of correlating or extrapolating the numerical displacement field at the crack tip with the asymptotic local displacement analytical solution. These solution techniques have been used in its classical form to extract SIFs from the finite element method (FEM) (Chan et al, 1970;Ingraffea and Manu, 1980;Banks-Sills and Sherman, 1986;Banks-Sills et al, 2005;Nejati et al, 2015) and BEM (Cruse and Wilson, 1978;Balderrama et al, 2006;Purbolaksono et al, 2012;Gonzalez et al, 2015;Cordeiro and Leonel, 2018;Cordeiro and Leonel, 2019). Recently, SIFs values have also been obtained from the extended/generalized finite element method (X/GFEM) using such scheme (Minnebo et al, 2010;Gonzalez-Albuixech et al, 2013;Schätzer and Fries, 2016;Gupta et al, 2017;Gupta and Duarte, 2018).…”
