A technique for modelling of arbitrary three-dimensional dynamically propagating cracks in elastic bodies by the Element-Free Galerkin (EFG) method with explicit time integration is described. The meshless character of this approach expedites the description of the evolving discrete model; in contra

A two-dimensional boundary element method for analysis of closed or partially closed cracks under normal and frictional forces is developed. The single domain dual formulation is used. As a contact problem is non-linear due to the friction phenomena at the crack interface and also because of the bou
The Element-Free Galerkin (EFG) method is a meshless method for solving partial differential equations which uses only a set of nodal points and a CAD-like description of the body to formulate the discrete model. It has been used extensively for fracture problems and has yielded good results when ad
The Dirichlet and Neumann problems for the Laplacian are reformulated in the usual way as boundary integral equations of the first kind with symmetric kernels. These integral equations are solved using Galerkin's method with piecewise-constant and piecewise-linear boundary elements, respectively. In
This paper examines the efficient integration of a Symmetric Galerkin Boundary Element Analysis (SGBEA) method with multi-zone resulting in a fully symmetric Galerkin multi-zone formulation. In a previous approach, a Galerkin multi-zone method was developed where the interfacial nodes are assigned d
