Efficient analysis of dynamic fracture mechanics in various media by a novel meshfree approach

A novel approach for meshfree analysis of various fracture mechanics problems is introduced. This approach is based on a weak-form meshfree method, which utilizes a refined nodal configuration in the vicinity of the crack tip and also a special meshfree integration technique. In this method, not only the computational cost is reduced, but also superior accuracy and convergence is achieved. In the proposed method, instead of enriching the basis...
