متن کاملCombining SGBEM and FEM for modeling 3D cracks
The SGBEM-FEM alternating method suitable for the solution of elastic and elasticplastic three-dimensional fracture mechanics problems is presented. The crack is modeled by the symmetric Galerkin boundary element method (SGBEM), as a distribution of displacement discontinuities in an infinite medium. The finite element method (FEM) is used for stress analysis of the uncracked finite body. The s...
