Fundamentals of Enriched Finite Element Methods provides an overview of the different enriched finite element methods, detailed instruction on their use, and their real-world applications, recommending in what situations they are best implemented. It starts with a concise background on the theory required to understand the underlying principles behind the methods before outlining detailed instruction on implementation of the techniques in standard displacement-based finite element codes. The strengths and weaknesses of each are discussed, as are computer implementation details, including a standalone generalized finite element package, written in Python. The applications of the methods to a range of scenarios, including multiphase, fracture, multiscale, and immersed boundary (fictitious domain) problems are covered, and readers can find ready-to-use code, simulation videos, and other useful resources on the companion website of the book.
