A brittle fracture criterion for PMMA V-notches tensile specimens based on a length-enriched eXtended Finite Element approach
A criterion for the prediction of the static failure loads in tensile PMMA specimens with sharp notches is presented. The proposed criterion is based on a regularized version of the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM), which has been…
