Fundamentals of Enriched Finite Element Methods provides an overview of the different enriched finite element methods, detailed instruction on their use, and also looks at their real-world applications, recommending in what situations they're best implemented. It starts with a concise background on the theory required to understand the underlying functioning principles behind enriched finite element 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 multi-phase, 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 to the book. - Reviews various enriched finite element methods, providing pros, cons, and scenarios forbest use - Provides step-by-step instruction on implementing these methods - Covers the theory of general and enriched finite element methods

Alejandro M. Arag¢n is an Associate Professor in the Department of Precision and Microsystems Engineering at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. His research stands at the intersection of engineering and computer science, with a primary focus on pioneering novel enriched finite element methods. This cutting-edge technology, seamlessly integrated in widely applicable software, is leveraged to address complex engineering challenges. Specifically, Dr. Arag¢n's innovations have been employed in the analysis and design of a diverse spectrum of (meta)materials and structures, including biomimetic and composite materials, as well as acoustic/elastic metamaterials, photonic/phononic crystals, and even edible fracture metamaterials. Since 2015 he has also been teaching advanced courses on finite element analysis at TU Delft. Dr. Arag¢n boasts a strong industrial network and holds two patents for the inventive use of acoustic/elastic metamaterials and phononic crystals for noise attenuation.
