This Trig3-RPIM element employs hybrid shape functions that combine the shape functions of three-node triangular element (Trig3) and radial-polynomial basis functions for the purpose of synergizing the merits of both finite element method and meshfree method. Although Trig3-RPIM element is capable of obtaining higher accuracy and convergence rate than the Trig3 element and four-node iso-parametric quadrilateral element without adding extra nodes or degrees of freedom (DOFs), the nodal stress field through Trig3-RP1M element is not continuous and extra stress smooth operations are still needed in the post processing stage. To further improve the property of Trig3-RPIM element, a new PU-based triangular element with continuous nodal stress, called Trig3-RPIMcns, is developed. Numerical examples including several linear, free vibration and forced vibration test problems, have confirmed the correctness and feasibility of the proposed Trig3-RPIMcns element.展开更多

The Trig_3-CNS(NMM) element can be considered as a development of both the Trig_3-CNS element and the numerical manifold method(NMM).Inheriting all the advantages of Trig_3-CNS element, calculations using Trig_3-CNS(NMM) element can obtain higher accuracy than Trig_3 element without extra degrees of freedom(DOFs) and yield continuous nodal stress without stress smoothing. Inheriting all the advantages of NMM, Trig_3-CNS(NMM) element can conveniently treat crack problems without deploying conforming mathematical mesh. In this paper,complex problems such as a crucifix crack and a star-shaped crack with many branches are studied to exhibit the advantageous features of the Trig_3-CNS(NMM) element. Numerical results show that the Trig_3-CNS(NMM) element is prominent in modeling complex crack problems.展开更多
