Abstract

This paper is devoted to the introduction of a new variant of the extendedfinite element method (Xfem) for the approximation of elastostatic fractureproblems. This variant consists in a reduced basis strategy for the definitionof the crack tip enrichment. It is particularly adapted when the asymptoticcrack-tip displacement is complex or even unknown. We give a mathematical resultof quasi-optimal a priori error estimate and some computational tests includinga comparison with some other strategies.
