For the accurate analysis of crack problems, considerable nodal refinement near the crack tip to capture singular stress field with sufficient accuracy to provide a useful computation of stress intensity factor is required. So, in this paper, adaptive nodal refinement scheme is proposed where nodes in restricted cell regions centered at crack tip are arranged in array for enhanced spatial resolution and adaptivity. With only cell-wise adaptive refinement scheme around crack tip fields, singularity of crack tip is sufficiently described to expect a successive crack propagate direction. Through numerical tests, accuracy of the proposed adaptive scheme is investigated and compared with the finite element and experimental results. By this implementation, it is shown that high accuracy is achieved by using iterative cell-wise solution method fur analyzing crack propagation problems.

Computational structural engineering is the base on which most of the achievements of engineering and physics are built. Since most of the theory underlying physical phenomena is involved differential equations for which closed forms of solution are seldom possible, the numerical approximation is necessary for a quantitative solution. Some areas where progress and research on computational mechanics are currently active are discussed. In the first part of this paper the development of the improved non-conforming elements for the analysis of plates and shells is described. Recent developments in the adaptive analysis for the structural and the wind problem and meshless method are also discussed in the second part.
