Francesca,

I am currently working on crack tracking algorithms in the context of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics for three dimensional problems. I was wondering if in deal.ii there exists any code gallery related to the implementation of quarter-point elements and the computation of SIFs along the Crack front. Alternatively if there exists some code related to the use of X-FEM for fracture mechanics. I am not able to find any code related to these problems...I found some codes related to the use of the phase field method in fracture mechanics, but we are interested in using a different approach to model the presence of the crack.
Could anyone kindly guide me?

I don't have much to contribute to this, but you may want to look at some of the articles here:
  http://journals.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/index.php/ans/issue/archive
In particular the article by Carraro and Wetterauer.

Best
 W.
