A new coupling method of Element-Free Galerkin Method(EFGM) and Boundary Element Method(BEM) using the domain decomposition method is presented in this paper. This proposed methodology is that the problem domain is decomposed into sub-domains being modeled by the EFGM and BEM respectively and the respective EFGM and BEM domains share a partially overlapped region over an entire domain. Then, the each sub-domain is separately computed and the variables on common region are iteratively updated until converging. It is an important note that in the developed coupling method, there is no need to combine the coefficient matrices of EFGM and BEM sub-domains, in contrast with the other conventional coupling methods. In the first part of this paper, a theory of EFGM and BEM is summarized, and then a brief introduction of domain decomposition method is described. Then, a new coupling method is presented. Also, patch test and Some numerical examples are studied to verify stability, accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method, in which numerical performance of the method is compared with that of conventional method such as EFGM-BEM variational coupling method, EFGM and BEM.

최근 요소망의 구성없이 공학적인 문제의 해석이 가능한 무요소법이 많은 학자들에 의하여 제안되고 이에 관한 집중적인 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 갤러킨 정식화에 의한 무요소법을 고체역학적인 문제에 적용하여 이의 특성을 규명하고자 하였다. 특히 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 몇가지 가중 함수를 선정하여 이들이 해석결과에 미치는 특성과 절점 배치방법 및 가중 함수의 영향 영역 변화에 따른 해의 정확도 등을 서로 비교하고 검토하였다. 연구결과로 가중 함수의 형태와 영향 영역의 크기, 기정 함수의 차수와 절점 배치방법 등은 서로 상관관계를 갖고 해의 정확도에 크게 영향을 미침을 확인할 수 있었고 이의 적절한 선정은 무요소해석의 중요한 요건임을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 균열의 특이성과 불연속성을 Element-Free Galerkin(EFG) 법에 반영하기 위해 특이기저함수를 포함하는 확장항을 기존의 EFG 근사함수에 추가하고 균열면을 가로지르는 형상함수 구성시 불연속함수를 적용한 향상된 EFG 균열해석기법을 제안하였다. 기존의 EFG법이 균열선단주변의 특이응력장을 표현하기 위해 상당한 절점추가를 필요로 하지만 본 연구에서 제안한 기법은 절점의 추가나 해석모형의 수정이 필요 없다. 또한, 기존의 확장근사함수를 사용하는 EFG법이 계방정식의 크기를 상당히 증가시키는데 반해, 개선된 EFG 균열해석기법은 확장근사함수를 적용범위를 국소영역으로 제한하여 계방정식의 크기증가를 최소화하고서도 정도 높은 수치해를 얻었다. 수치예제는 제안된 기법의 향상된 면모와 효율성을 검증하여 준다.

In this study an adaptive node generation procedure in the Element-free Galerkin (EFG) method using bubble-meshing technique is proposed. Based on the error function that obtained by projected error estimation method, the initial node arrangement is defined along the background cell that is used in the numerical integration. To obtain the smooth nodal configuration, the nodal configuration are regenerated by bubble-meshing technique. This bubble meshing technique was originally developed to generate a set of well-shaped triangles and tetrahedra. Its basic idea is packing circles or spheres, called bubble, into the specified area or space naturally using some dynamic equations with attracting and repelling force. To demonstrate the performance of proposed scheme, the convergence behaviors are investigated for several problems.

In the present study, analysis of contaminant transport through one dimensional unsaturated stratified media using element free Galerkin method has been presented. Element free Galerkin method is a meshfree method. A FORTRAN code has been developed for the same. The developed model is compared with the results available in the literature and are found in good agreement. Further a parametric study has been conducted to examine the effects of various parameters like velocity, dispersivity, retardation factor and effect of saturation on the contaminant flow. The results presented conclude that transport of contaminant is retarded in unsaturated zone in comparison with the saturated zone.

Two methods were developed for analyzing problems with two adjacent sub-domains modeled by different kinds of elements in finite element method. Each sub-domain can be defined independently without the consideration of equivalent division with common nodes used for the interface. These two methods employ an individual interface to accomplish the compatibility. The MLSA method uses the moving least square approximation which is the basic formulation for Element Free Galerkin Method to formulate the interface. The displacement field assumed by this method does not pass through nodes on the common boundary. Therefore, nodes can be chosen freely for this method. The results show that the MLSA method has better approximation than traditional methods.

The Element-free Galerkin Method has become a very popular tool for the simulation of mechanical problems with moving boundaries. The internally applied Moving Least Squares interpolation uses in general Gaussian or cubic weighting functions and has compact support. Due to the approximative character of this interpolation the obtained shape functions do not fulfill the interpolation conditions, which causes additional numerical effort for the application of the boundary conditions. In this paper a new weighting function is presented, which was designed for meshless shape functions to fulfill these essential conditions with very high accuracy without any additional effort. Furthermore this interpolation gives much more stable results for varying size of the influence radius and for strongly distorted nodal arrangements than existing weighting function types.

In this study, error estimates using the stress projecting scheme and adaptive nodal generation procedure in the element-free Galerkin(EFG) method are proposed. The essence of proposed error estimates is to use the difference between the values of the projected stress and these given directly by the EFG solution. The stress projection can be obtained simply by taking product of shape function based on a different domain of influence with the stresses at nodes. An adaptive procedure based on error estimates is discussed in this paper. By use of background integration cell, adding node scheme at high error norm area is proposed. To demonstrate the performance of proposed scheme, the convergence behavior is investigated for several examples
