  • The Enriched Free Mesh Method (EFMM) is a patch-wise procedure in which both a displacement field on an element and a stress/strain field on a cluster of elements connected to a node can be defined. On the other hand, the Superconvergent Patch Recovery (SPR) is known to be an efficient post-processing procedure of the finite element method to estimate the error norm at a node. In this paper, we discuss the relationship between solutions of the EFMM and those of the SPR through several convergence studies. In addition, in order to solve the demerit of the smoothing effect on the fracture mechanics fields, we implement a singular stress field to a local patch in the EFMM, and its effectiveness is investigated.

  • In this paper, an improved Element-Free Galerkin (EFG) method is proposed by adding enrichment function to the standard EFG approximation and a discontinuity function is implemented in constructing the shape function across the crack surface. In this method, the singularity and the discontinuity of the crack are efficiently modeled by using initial node distribution to evaluate reliable stress intensity factor, though the standard EFG method requires placing additional nodes near the crack tip. The proposed method enables the initial node distribution to be kept without any additional nodal d.o.f. and expresses the asymptotic stress field near the crack tip successfully. Numerical example verifies the improvement and the effectiveness of the method.

  • 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.
