The extended finite element method (XFEM) using a crack tip element (TIP element), which is enriched through only the Heaviside function, is applied to crack and its propagation analysis in two-dimensional elastic problems. In the proposed method, two-kind of signed distance functions are utilized in order to express crack geometry implicitly and finite elements, which has interaction with crack, are appropriately partitioned according to the level set values and then integrated numerically for derivation of stiffness matrix. The results by XFEM using TIP elements were compared with those by the conventional XFEM using both the asymptotic bases and the Heaviside function. It was shown that the TIP element provides appropriate stress intensity factors and crack propagation path.
