The singular edge-based smoothed finite element method for stationary dynamic crack problems in 2D elastic solids

In this paper, the recently developed singular edge-based smoothed finite element method (sES-FEM) is further developed for dynamic crack analysis in two-dimensional elastic solids. The objective of this work is to provide an efficient and accurate numerical simulation tool for the dynamic fracture behaviors of linear elastic solids in the framework of the strain smoothing approaches. Following this approach, the strains are smoothed and the...
