The stable generalized finite element method (SGFEM) is an improved version of generalized or extended FEM (GFEM/XFEM), which (i) uses simple and unfitted meshes, (ii) reaches optimal convergence orders, and (iii) is stable and robust in the sense th...

Three alternative approaches, namely the extended/generalized finite element method (XFEM/GFEM), the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) and phase field methods, are surveyed and compared in the context of linear elastic fracture mechanics...

In this study, the extended finite element method (XFEM) was integrated into the generalized multiscale finite element method with global–local enrichment (GFEMgl) to simulate 2D heat conduction in highly heterogeneous materials (i.e., matrixes...
