AB - This paper presents a new method suitable for modelling kinking discontinuities within a finite element framework. The proposed method effectively implements local remeshing in terms of solution, but is computationally more efficient than remeshing; it can be readily implemented in relatively closed FE codes; and it allows (sub-)elements near a crack tip to readily share information. The finite element architecture of the new method is similar to that of the phantom node method. Validation examples show that the proposed method can predict stress intensity factors and crack propagation accurately. An application example shows that the proposed method can predict the transition from matrix cracking to delamination in cross-ply composite laminates by accurately representing T-shaped cracks inside an element.
