    Notes: Abstract An expert system, ETUDES—Expert Time integration control Using Deep and Surface Knowledge System, which addresses the determination of the timestep for time integration of linear structural dynamic equations is described. This time-step may also be applicable for a moderately nonlinear simulation of the same structure. The program also determines whether an explicit or implicit method is most efficient for the particular simulation. A production rule programming system written in OPS5 is used for the implementation of this prototype expert system. Issues relating to the expert system architecture for this application, such as knowledge representation and structure, as well as domain knowledge are discussed. The prototype is evaluated by measuring it's performance in various benchmark model problems.

    Notes: Abstract The Self-Similar Crack Expansion (SSCE) method is used to calculate stress intensity factors for three-dimensional cracks in an infinite medium or semi-infinite medium by the boundary integral element technique, whereby, the stress intensity factors at crack tips are determined by calculating the crack-opening displacements over the crack surface. For elements on the crack surface, regular integrals and singular integrals are precisely evaluated based on closed form expressions, which improves the accuracy. Examples show that this method yields very accurate results for stress intensity factors of penny-shaped cracks and elliptical cracks in the full space, with errors of less than 1% as compared with analytical solutions. The stress intensity factors of subsurface cracks are in good agreement with other analytical solutions.

    Self-Similar Crack Expansion method for the stress intensity factor analysis (1996)
    Springer
    Acta mechanica solida Sinica 9 (1996), S. 104-123 
    Details
    ISSN: 0894-9166
    Keywords: self-similar crack expansion ; stress intensity factor ; crack extension method
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Production Engineering, Mining and Metallurgy, Traffic Engineering, Precision Mechanics , Physics
    Notes: Abstract The Self-Similar Crack Expansion(SSCE) method is proposed to evaluate stress intensity factors at crack tips, whereby stress intensity factors of a crack can be determined by the crack opening displacement over the crack, not just by the local displacement around the crack tip. The crack expansion rate is estimated by taking advantage of the crack self-similarity. Therefore, the accuracy of the calculation is improved. The singular integrals on crack tip elements are also analyzed and are precisely evaluated in terms of a special integral analysis. Combination of these two techniques greatly increases the accuracy in estimating the stress distribution around the crack tip. A variety of two-dimensional cracks, such as subsurface cracks, edge cracks, and their interactions are calculated in terms of the self-similar expansion rate. Solutions are satisfied with errors less than 0. 5% as compared with the analytical solutions. Based on the calculations of the crack interactions, a theory for crack interactions is proposed such that for a group of aligned cracks the summation of the square of SIFs at the right tips of cracks is always equal to that at the left tips of cracks. This theory was proved by the mehtod of Self-Similar Crack Expansion in this paper.

    Numerical integration of the Galerkin weak form in meshfree methods (1999)
    Springer
    Computational mechanics 23 (1999), S. 219-230 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-0924
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Production Engineering, Mining and Metallurgy, Traffic Engineering, Precision Mechanics
    Notes: Abstract The numerical integration of Galerkin weak forms for meshfree methods is investigated and some improvements are presented. The character of the shape functions in meshfree methods is reviewed and compared to those used in the Finite Element Method (FEM). Emphasis is placed on the relationship between the supports of the shape functions and the subdomains used to integrate the discrete equations. The construction of quadrature cells without regard to the local supports of the shape functions is shown to result in the possibility of considerable integration error. Numerical studies using the meshfree Element Free Galerkin (EFG) method illustrate the effect of these errors on solutions to elliptic problems. A construct for integration cells which reduces quadrature error is presented. The observations and conclusions apply to all Galerkin methods which use meshfree approximations.

    An assembled surface normal algorithm for interior node removal in three-dimensional finite element meshes (1985)
    Springer
    Engineering with computers 1 (1985), S. 55-60

    Notes: Abstract An algorithm is developed for identifying interior nodes and edges in finite element meshes of three-dimensional solids. The algorithm is extremely simple and quite fast. The interior nodes are identified by assembling the normals to all surfaces of the model according to the usual finite element assembly procedure. Comparison with a sort-search algorithm shows a tenfold reduction in running time; running time is a linear function of the number of nodes or elements.

    A stochastic damage model for the rupture prediction of a multi-phase solid (1992)
    Springer
    International journal of fracture 55 (1992), S. 321-340 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-2673
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Production Engineering, Mining and Metallurgy, Traffic Engineering, Precision Mechanics
    Notes: Abstract In this paper, a stochastic damage model is proposed for the rupture prediction of a brittle, multi-phase material. The model, based on the macrocrack-microcrack interaction, characterizes damage by microcracking and fracture by macrocracking. The model incorporates uncertainties in locations, orientations and numbers of microcracks. Owing to the high concentration of microcracks within the frontal damage zone near the macro-tip, a higher order analysis based on traction boundary integral equations is formulated for an arbitrary array of cracks. The change of the stress intensity at the macrocrack tip by the configuration of microcracks is investigated through a parametric study. The presence of large fluctuation in the stress intensity at the macro-tip justifies the use of the statistical approach, which will be presented in a companion paper.

    Notes: Abstract The stochastic damage model, which has been proposed in Part I of this paper, is utilized to analyze quantitatively the effects of uncertainties in locations, orientations and numbers of microcracks at the macro-tip. This is accomplished by introducing a computer simulation model which incorporates a statistical characterization of geometrical parameters of a random microcrack array. The counteracting effects of microcracking on the fracture toughness, namely, toughness enhancement and toughness degradation, are explored statistically through the change of the location and size of the near tip damage zone. The effects of changes in the geometric configuration and density of microcracks at the macro-tip are also examined through the present statistical approach. The validity of the present model is verified by comparing the obtained statistical distribution with the analytic model based on the Neville distribution function. A very good fit achieved by the use of the Neville function demonstrates the potential of the present damage model, in predicting the inherent statistical distribution of the fracture toughness from the intrinsic random microdefects.
