“…We implemented the last one in the XFEM couple with level set technique because it is faster and less resource consuming. In this study, we use a code developed by Hachi and his team that was used to solve problems involving cracks in case of static and dynamic load and crack growth prediction, homogenization in 2D and 3D, etc [19][20][21]. Sih developed the SED theory for the purpose of solving fracture mechanics problems [22][23][24].…”

This study has used the strain energy density (SED) approach to evaluate the stress intensity factor (SIF) of cracked cruciform welded joints in Hardox 450 steel. A microstructural analysis was made of Hardox 450 steel which is composed of refined and tempered low carbon martensite. The obtained results of simulation will be compared with those provided by J-integral methode for different enriched zones and contours based on the extended finite element method (XFEM) coupled with the level set technique (LST). Crack initiation and propagation under cyclic loading have been adopted for the modeling of cruciform welded joints.
