ESFLIB: A library to compute the element free Galerkin shape functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a library for the computation of the shape functions for the element free Galerkin (EFG) method. While the EFG method is in many respects strikingly similar to the finite element method, the construction of the shape functions for the EFG method is much more complicated than in the FEM. Thus, the question arises whether it is possible to encapsulate the complexity of the shape function construction process, while providing a simple interface to the shape function data. We present a shape function library design which proved unrestrictive (it can be used with almost any programming language without any special requirements on application program data structures), highly configurable, and robust.

Element Free Galerkin Method for Static Analysis of Thin Micro/Nanoscale Plates Based on the Nonlocal Plate Theory
In this article, element free Galerkin method is used for static analysis of thin micro/nanoscale plates based on the nonlocal plate theory. The problem is solved for the plates with arbitrary boundary conditions. Since shape functions of the element free Galerkin method do not satisfy the Kronecker’s delta property, the penalty method is used to impose the essential boundary conditions. Discre...

A new approach for analyzing cracked problems in 2D orthotropic materials using the well-known element free Galerkin method and orthotropic enrichment functions is proposed. The element free Galerkin method is a meshfree method which enables discontinuous problems to be modeled efficiently. In this study, element free Galerkin is extrinsically enriched by the recently developed crack-tip orthot...

Stress-intensity factors (SIFs) are the most important parameters in fracture mechanics analysis of structures. These parameters are evaluated for a stationary crack in functionally graded plates of arbitrary geometry using a novel Galerkin based mesh-free method. The method involves an element-free Galerkin method (EFGM), where the material properties are smooth functions of spatial coordinate...
