AB  - This paper presents a crack model that couples the benefits of the damage mechanics approach and the extended finite element method (XFEM). A local crack-tracking technique is devel- opedtopropagatea crack pattern along a single row of finite elements as a function of the equivalent principal stress direction. The level-sets are computed to predict the crack path and with the use of continuumdamagemechanics,thepathiscorrected. Once acertain levelof damageis reached inside an element, the level-sets computed previously are used to apply the XFEM formulation with Heavi- sidefunctionwithinthiselementintroducingadiscontinuityinthedisplacementfield.
