Line 4: ==History== The extended finite element method (XFEM) was developed in 1999 by [[Ted Belytschko]] and collaborators<ref>{{cite journal \| first1=Nicolas \| last1=Moës \| first2=John \| last2=Dolbow \| first3=Ted \| last3=Belytschko \| title=A finite element method for crack growth without remeshing \| journal=International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering \| year=1999 \| issue=1 \| pages= 131–150 \| volume=46}}</ref>, to help alleviate shortcomings of the finite element method ~~with discontinuous on the across faces~~ and has been used to model the propagation of various discontinuities: strong ([[Fracture\|cracks]]) and weak (material interfaces). The idea behind XFEM is to retain most advantages of meshfree methods while alleviating their negative sides. ==Rationale==
