    This paper presents a comparative study of finite element methods for dynamic fractures. It is shown that XFEM and interelement method show similar crack speeds and crack paths. However, both fail to predict a benchmark experiment without adjustment of energy release rate. It is also shown that the interelement method appears to be more apaptable. Experiments performed are interesting for practitioner.
