Abstract
This paper investigated a hybrid Meshless Displacement Discontinuity Method (MDDM) for a cracked plate subjected to static and dynamic loadings. The purpose of MDDM is to model displacement discontinuity on a cracked surface by the displacement discontinuity method in an infinite plate. This was achieved by considering a meshless approach, the equilibrium equations, and the boundary conditions for a domain with an irregular nodes distribution. Also, by imposing the principle of superposition, accurate and convergent solutions can be obtained. In this paper, the static and dynamic stress intensity factors, and the crack growth for different initial crack length and crack slant angles are investigated. The Laplace transform method is applied to deal with dynamic problems and the time-dependent values are obtained by the Durbin inversion technique. Validations of the presented technique are demonstrated by four numerical examples of plates with a central embedded crack.
