Are there literature on the differences beween modeling cracked beams with displaced node vs. simply using geometric sharp wedge?

What would be the difference between the modeling of damaged beams that uses 3-D cracked finite elements with the 1/4 internodes displaced towards the front of the crack, instead of using finite...
