무요소법을 이용한 다수균열 함유부재의 동적균열전파해석에 관한 연구

In this study, an algorithm analyzing dynamic mutiple-crack propagation problem by Meshfree Method is proposed. A short description of Meshfree Method especially, Element-free Galerkin (EFG) method is presented and the elastodynamic fracture theory is summarized. A numerical implementation algorithm for dynamic analysis by Meshfree Method is discussed and an algorithm for mutlple-crack dynamic propagation is also presented. A couple of numerical examples of dynamic crack propagation problem illustrate the performance of the proposed technique. The accuracy of the algorithm is studied in the first example by being compared with experimental results, and the applicability and efficiency of the developed algorithm is studied in the second example.
