Abstract

The main draw back of the Moving Least Squares (MLS) approximate used in element free Galerkin method (EFGM) is its lack the property of the delta function. To alleviate difficulties in the treatment of essential boundary conditions in EFGM, the local transformation method and the boundary singular weight method, which are used in the reproducing kernel particle method, is combined with the element free Galerkin method. The computational method is given to analyze the stress intensity factors and the numerical simulation of crack propagation of two-dimentional problems of the elastic fracture analysis. The application examples reveal the effectiveness and feasibility of the present methods.
