The meshfree method is extended by the local partition of unity method to model the cohesive cracks in two dimensional continuum The shape function of a particle whose domain of influence is completely cut by a crack is enriched by the step enrichment function. If the domain of influence contains a crack tip inside, it is enriched by the branch enrichment function without the stress singularity. It is found that this method is more accurate and converges faster than the meshless methods for LEFM cracks based on the visibility concept Several staic and dynamic examples are solved to verify the method.

Reproducing Polynomial Particle Method (RPPM) is one of meshless methods that use meshes minimally or do not use meshes at all. In this paper, the RPPM is employed for free vibration analysis of shear-deformable plates of the first order shear deformation model (FSDT), called Reissner-Mindlin plate. For numerical implementation, we use flat-top partition of unity functions, introduced by Oh et al, and patchwise RPPM in which approximation functions have high order polynomial reproducing property and the Kronecker delta property. Also, we demonstrate that our method is highly effective than other existing results for various aspect ratios and boundary conditions.

본 연구에서는 이차원 연속체에 존재하는 점성균열을 무요소법에서 국부 단위분할 원리에 근거하여 정식화하였다. 균열이 한 절점의 영향영역(domain of influence)을 완전히 통과하는 경우 그 절점의 형상함수는 계단함수로 확장되고, 균열 끝이 영향영역 내에 위치하는 경우 특이성이 제거된 가지함수(branch function)로 확장된다. 이러한 해의 영역의 확장은 국부 단위분할 원리를 만족하는 변위계에서만 이루어지므로, 약형 정식화는 표준 Galerkin방법에 의해서 얻어진다. 균열과 상호작용하는 영향영역만 확장되기 때문에, 성긴 형태의 시스템의 행렬을 유지하게 된다. 그러므로 확장에 의해 발생하는 계산비용의 증가는 최소화된다. 동적인 문제에서 균열성장에 관한 조건은 재료안정론으로부터 얻어졌다. 즉, 재료 한 점에서 어느 방향으로든 변형열화가 집중하게 되면, 그 방향에 점성균열을 삽입하여 연속체가 비연속체로 되도록 하였다. 균열의 성장속도도 같은 조건으로부터 자연스럽게 얻어졌다. 전통적인 무요소법보다 더 나은 정확도와 빠른 수렴성을 보이는 것이 확인되었으며, 이 기법의 적용성을 보이기 위해 잘 알려진, 정적 및 동적문제에 적용하였다.

In this paper, several improved Element-Free Galerkin (EFG) methods containing singular expression in their approximation functions are compared one another through a patch test with near-tip field. Intrinsic enrichments that expand the basis function partially and fully with known near-tip displacement field and a local enrichment using auxiliary supports based on the partition of unity concept are examined by evaluating a relative stress norm error and the stress intensity factor. Some numerical examinations graphically show that how the size of compact support, dilation parameter and the diffraction parameter can affect the accuracy of the improved EFG methods in the error and the stress intensity factor.

A meshfree multi-scale method has been presented for efficient analysis of elasto-plastic problems. From the variational principle, problem is decomposed into a fine scale and a coarse scale problem. In the analysis only the plastic region is discretized using fine scale. Each scale variable is approximated using meshfree method. Adaptivity can easily and nicely be implemented in meshree method. As a method of increasing resolution, partition of unity based extrinsic enrichment is used. Each scale problem is solved iteratively. Iteration procedure is indispensable for the elasto-plastic deformation analysis. Therefore this kind of solution procedure is adequate to that problem. The proposed method is applied to Prandtl's punch test and shear band problem. The results are compared with those of other methods and the validity of the proposed method is demonstrated.

In this study an advanced domain decomposition method is suggested in order to construct surface models from very large amount of points. In this method the spatial domain of interest that is occupied by the input set of points is divided in repetitive manner. First, the space is divided into smaller domains where the problem can be solved independently. Then each subdomain is again divided into much smaller domains where the problem can be solved locally. These local solutions of subdivided domains are blended together to obtain a solution of each subdomain using partition of unity function. Then the solutions of subdomains are merged together in order to construct whole surface model. The suggested methods are conceptually very simple and easy to implement. Since RDDM(Repetitive Domain Decomposition Method) is effective in the computation time and memory consumption, the present study is capable of providing a fast and accurate reconstructions of complex shapes from large amount of point data containing millions of points. The effectiveness and validity of the suggested methods are demonstrated by performing numerical experiments for the various types of point data.

This paper investigates the heat equation for domains subjected to an internal source with a sharp spatial gradient. The solution is first approximated using linear finite elements, and sufficiently small time-step sizes to yield stable simulations. The main area of interest is then in the ability to approximate the solution using Generalized Finite Elements, and again explore the time-step limitations required for stable simulations. Both high order elements, as well as elements with special enrichments are used to generate solutions. When compared to linear finite elements, the high order elements deliver better accuracy at a given level of mesh refinement, but do not offer an increase in critical time-step size. When special enrichment functions are used, the solution can be approximated accurately on very coarse meshes, while yielding solutions which are both accurate and computationally efficient. The major conclusion of interest is that the significantly larger element size yields larger allowable time-step sizes while still maintaining stability of the time-stepping algorithm.
