摘要
In this paper, we describe a method for three-dimensional high accurate analysis of a crack included in a large-scale structure. The Enriched Free Mesh Method (EFMM) is a method for improving the accuracy of the Free Mesh Method (FMM), which is a kind of meshless method. First, we developed an algorithm of the three-dimensional EFMM. The elastic problem was analyzed using the EFMM and we find that its accuracy compares advantageously with the FMM, and the number of CG iterations is smaller. Next, we developed a method for calculating the stress intensity factor by employing the EFMM. The structure with a crack was analyzed using the EFMM, and the stress intensity factor was calculated by the developed method. The analysis results were very well in agreement with reference solution. It was shown that the proposed method is very effective in the analysis of the crack included in a large-scale structure.
