Meshless Approaches for Fracture with Nonlocal Elasticity

Article Preview

Abstract:

The fracture analysis for two-dimensional nonlocal elasticity is presented by the numerical approaches i.e. the Local Integral Equation Method (LIEM). Based on the Eringen’s model, the nonlocal stresses at the crack tip are regular. Numerical simulation by LIEM is proposed for the nonlocal elasticity fracture problems. A rectangular cracked plate subjected to tensile load is observed numerically to demonstrate the convergence and accuracy of LIEM.
