Global enrichment XFEM
An XFEM variant (Agathos, Chatzi, Bordas, & Talaslidis, 2015) isintroduced which:
Enables the application of geometrical enrichment to 3D.
Extends dof gathering to 3D through global enrichment.
Employs weight function blending.
Employs enrichment function shifting.

Front elements
A superimposed mesh is used to provide a p.u. basis.
Desired properties:
Satisfaction of the partition of unity property.
Spatial variation only along the direction of the crack front.

Front element shape functions
Linear 1D shape functions are used:
Ng (ξ) =[1− ξ
21 + ξ
2
]
where ξ is the local coordinate of the superimposed element.
Those functions:
form a partition of unity.
are used to weight tip enrichment functions.

Vector Level Sets
A method for the representation of 3D cracks is introduced which:
Produces level set functions using geometric operations.
Does not require integration of evolution equations.
Similar methods:
2D Vector level sets (Ventura, Budyn, & Belytschko, 2003).
Hybrid implicit-explicit crack representation (Fries & Baydoun, 2012).

Point projection
Point P can be expressed as:
P = P′ (u, v) + λn (u, v)
where:
P′ the projection of the point to the surface.λ unknown parameter.
The above is solved for u, v and λ to obtain the projection.

Evaluation of the level set functions
At each step t:
For each point all crack advance segments are tested.
If for a certain element u, v ∈ [−1, 1] then the point is projected onthat element.
If u /∈ [−1, 1] for all elements then the projection lies on the advancevector.
If v /∈ [−1, 1] for all elements then the projection lies either:→ at a previous crack advance segment→ at the crack front at time t − 1 or t

Evaluation of the level set functions
Level set function f:
f = P− P′
where P′ is either:
Projection to an element of the crack surfaceClosest point projection to a kink wedge
Level set function g:
g = P− P′
where P′ is a closest point projection to the crack front

Conclusions
A method for 3D fracture mechanics was presented which:
Enables the use of geometrical enrichment in 3D.Eliminates blending errors.
A method for the representation of 3D cracks was presented which:
Avoids the solution of evolution equations.Utilizes only simple geometrical operations.
The methods were combined to solve 3D crack propagation problems.
