Exponentially Fitted Element-Free Galerkin Approach for Nonlinear Singularly Perturbed Problems by Jagbir Kaur, Vivek Sangwan

“…Since a lot of weight functions exist in the literature which plays a crucial role in the moving least square (MLS) approximations for generating the shape functions and hence affect the accuracy of the numerical solution, in the present work, due emphasis has been given to propose a robust weight function for the element-free Galerkin scheme for SPP. The key feature of nonrequirement of elements or node connectivity of the EFG method has also been utilized by proposing a way to generate nonuniformly distributed nodes. …”

Effect of loading rate and arc boundary on dynamic crack arrest behavior of brittle material under dynamic loads by Lin Lang, Shuang Tian, Quan Yuan, Yikun Li, Zheming Zhu, Lei Zhou, Ling Wang

“…Finally, the dynamic fracture toughness of the crack tip of the PMMA specimen was calculated using the finite-element method. Both experimental and numerical studies indicated that the arc boundary of the specimen demonstrated effective capabilities for arresting propagating cracks, and as the loading rate increased, the crack velocity also increased, while the crack initiation time decreased. …”
