Abstract

Recently, an improved EFG(Element-Free Galerkin) crack analysis technique, which includes a discontinuous approximation and a singular basis function on the auxiliary supports, was developed. The technique is able to accurately analyze the crack propagation problem without any modification of the analysis model; however, it shows some dependency on the analysis parameters used. In this study, the effect of analysis parameters such as the size of compact support, dilation parameter, the smoothness of shape function around the crack tip, and the number of node using auxiliary supports on the accuracy of solution has been investigated. Through a patch test with a crack, relative L₂ error norm of stresses and the stress intensity factor were computed and compared for various analysis parameters and the results were presented as guidelines for adequate choice of analysis parameters.

최근에 불연속 근사변위함수와 보조받침을 이용한 특이기저함수를 도입하여 균열의 불연속성과 특이성을 구현한 개선된 EFG(Element-Free Galerkin) 균열해석기법이 제안되었다. 개선된 EFG 균열해석기법은 균열의 성장에 따른 해석모형의 수정 없이도 높은 정확도로 균열전파해석을 수행할 수 있지만, 다른 무요소법과 마찬가지로 해석결과가 사용되는 해석계수에 의존하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 개선된 EFG 균열해석기법에서 사용하는 해석계수 즉, compact 받침 크기, 팽창계수, 선단주변에서의 형상함수의 평활화, 보조받침을 사용하는 절점개수가 수치해석 결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 균열문제에 대한 patch 시험을 통해 응력에 대한 L₂오차노름과 응력확대계수를 산정하여 해석계수의 영향을 분석하였으며, 그 결과는 해석계수의 선택에 대한 지침으로 제시된다.
