Summary
The application of X-FEM technique to the prediction of two dimensional dynamic brittle crack growth is presented in this paper. The method is known to guarantee exact energy conservation in case of crack propagation and it is applied to the simulation of one dynamic crack propagation experiment submitted to a mixed mode loading and showing stop and restart of a crack.
