Meshless Numerical Simulation of Singular Fields at Crack Tips of Branched Crack

One of the most important tasks in the numerical analysis of the fracture problem is to achieve a high-precision approximation of the singular stress fields at crack tips. Partially or fully enriched basis functions are often used as enhancements on the whole problem domain or just near the crack tips when constructing the meshless shape functions to simulate the singularity fields at crack tips, namely: global enhancement with fully enriched...
