An extended finite element method (X-FEM) for three-dimensional crack modelling is described. A discontinuous function and the two-dimensional asymptotic crack-tip displacement fields are added to approximation account using notion of partition unity. This enables domain be modelled by elements with no explicit meshing surfaces. Computational geometry issues associated representation enrichment discussed. Stress intensity factors (SIFs) planar cracks presented, which found in good agreement...
The application of the Natural Element Method (NEM) to boundary value problems in two-dimensional small displacement elastostatics is presented. discrete model domain Ω consists a set distinct nodes N, and polygonal description ∂Ω. In Method, trial test functions are constructed using natural neighbour interpolants. These interpolants based on Voronoi tessellation N. smooth (C∞) everywhere, except at where they C0. one-dimension, NEM identical linear finite elements. interpolant strictly...
The Element-Free Galerkin (EFG) method is a meshless for solving partial differential equations which uses only set of nodal points and CAD-like description the body to formulate discrete model. It has been used extensively fracture problems yielded good results when adequate refinement near crack tip, but stresses tend be oscillatatory tip unless substantial used. An enriched EFG formulation proposed. Two methods are used: (1) adding asymptotic fields trial function (2) augmenting basis by...
Abstract Some constitutive and computational aspects of finite deformation plasticity are discussed. Attention is restricted to multiplicative theories plasticity, in which the gradients assumed be decomposable into elastic plastic terms. It shown by way consistent linearization momentum balance that geometric terms arise associated with motion intermediate configuration general render tangent operator non‐symmetric even for flow. Both explicit (i.e. no equilibrium iteration) implicit...
Natural neighbour co-ordinates (Sibson co-ordinates) is a well-known interpolation scheme for multivariate data fitting and smoothing. The numerical implementation of natural in Galerkin method known as the element (NEM). In method, are used to construct trial test functions. Recent studies on NEM have shown that co-ordinates, which based Voronoi tessellation set nodes, an appealing choice meshless interpolants solution partial differential equations. Belikov et al. (Computational...
We describe a computer model for predicting ductile-fracture initiation and propagation. The is based on plastic strain. Fracture starts or crack extends when the integrated product of equivalent plastic-strain increment function mean stress exceeds critical value over length. This length characteristic microstructure material. fracture calibrated by simulation simple notched round-bar tension tests precracked compact test. then used to predict propagation standard Charpy V-notch specimen....
Abstract A stabilized conforming nodal integration scheme is implemented in the natural neighbour method conjunction with non‐Sibsonian interpolation. In this approach, both shape functions and are defined through use of first‐order Voronoi diagrams. The illustrates improved performance significant advantages over previous formulations. also shows substantial promise for problems large deformations computation higher‐order gradients.

Based on fiber reinforced continuum mechanics theory, an anisotropic hyperelastic constitutive model for the human annulus fibrosus is developed. A strain energy function representing elastic material behavior of additively decomposed into three parts nominally contributions from matrix, and fiber-matrix shear interaction, respectively. Taking advantage laminated structure with one family aligned fibers in each lamella, interlamellar fiber-fiber interaction eliminated, which greatly...
