The element-free Galerkin method for dynamic crack propagation is described and applied to several problems. This method is a gridless method, which facilitates the modelling of growing crack problems because it does not require remeshing; the growth of the crack is modelled by extending its surface

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
A new formulation of the Element Free Galerkin (EFG) method is developed for the modelling of incompressible materials. Beginning with a mixed variational principle, a selective reduced integration procedure is developed by implementing nodal quadrature. Numerical examples are provided which compare
