In this paper Element Free Galerkin Method is used and applied to the stress analysis problems where material has a tendency towards both elastoplastic and creep behavior. In doing so, following a brief description of the nonlinear constitutive...

. These methods

encounter mesh-related difficulties in dealing with fracture mechanics problems. In this

paper the Element Free Galerkin method based on the linear elastic fracture mechanics

was used to determine tension-mode stress intensity...

The Element Free Galerkin Method (EFGM) has been extended to be used in the Elastoplastic stress analysis. Stress fields in two different plates with and without a crack have been calculated and the results have been compared with other similar...

The element-free Galerkin method which is en-riched intrinsically is applied for fracture analysis of functionally graded materials under mode I steady-state and transient thermal loading. The stress intensity factors are evaluated by means of both...

and finite element methods, show good accuracy. This study denotes that the element free Galerkin method can be used as a proper tool in rock fracture mechanics....

This paper addresses the implementation of the element-free Galerkin method, which is enriched

intrinsically for fracture analysis of functionally graded materials under mode I steady-state and transient

thermal loading. The stress...
