The Generalized Finite Element Method (GFEM) is employed in this paper for the numerical analysis of three-dimensional solids under nonlinear behavior. A brief summary of the GFEM as well as a description of the formulation of the hexahedral element based on the proposed enrichment strategy are initially presented. Next, in order to introduce the nonlinear analysis of solids, two constitutive models are briefly reviewed: Lemaitre's model, in which damage and plasticity are coupled, and Mazars's damage model suitable for concrete under increased loading. Both models are employed in the framework of a nonlocal approach to ensure solution objectivity. In the numerical analyses carried out, a selective enrichment of approximation at regions of concern in the domain (mainly those with high strain and damage gradients) is exploited. Such a possibility makes the three-dimensional analysis less expensive and practicable since re-meshing resources, characteristic of h-adaptivity, can be minimized. Moreover, a combination of three-dimensional analysis and the selective enrichment presents a valuable good tool for a better description of both damage and plastic strain scatterings.
