In this study, an algorithm analyzing dynamic mutiple-crack propagation problem by Meshfree Method is proposed. A short description of Meshfree Method especially, Element-free Galerkin (EFG) method is presented and the elastodynamic fracture theory is summarized. A numerical implementation algorithm for dynamic analysis by Meshfree Method is discussed and an algorithm for mutlple-crack dynamic propagation is also presented. A couple of numerical examples of dynamic crack propagation problem illustrate the performance of the proposed technique. The accuracy of the algorithm is studied in the first example by being compared with experimental results, and the applicability and efficiency of the developed algorithm is studied in the second example.

A linearly tapered, doubly symmetric thin-walled closed member, such as power-transmission towers and tourist towers, are often characterized by local variation in mass and/or rigidity, due to additional mass and rigidity. On the preliminary stage of design the closed-form solution is more effective than the finite element method. In order to propose approximate solutions, the discontinuous and local variation in mass and/or rigidity is treated continuously by means of a usable function proposed by Takabatake(1988, 1991, 1993). Thus, a simplified analytical method and approximate solutions for the free and forced transverse vibrations in linear elasticity are demonstrated in general by means of the Galerkin method. The solutions proposed here are examined from the results obtained using the Galerkin method and Wilson-${\theta}$ method and from the results obtained using NASTRAN.

A novel nodal method is developed for the two-dimensional multi-group diffusion equations based on the Spectral-Galerkin approach. In this study, the nodal diffusion equations with Robin boundary condition are reformulated in a weak (variational) form, which is then approximated spatially by choosing appropriate basis functions. For the nodal coupling relations between the neighbouring nodes, the continuity conditions of partial currents are utilized. The resulting discrete systems with sparse structured matrices are solved by the Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient Method (PCG) and sweeping technique. The method is validated on two test problems.

In the present paper, the element free Galerkin (EFG) method is developed for geometrically nonlinear analysis of deep beams considering small scale effect. To interpret the behavior of structure at the nano scale, the higher-order gradient elasticity nonlocal theory is taken into account. The radial point interpolation method with high order of continuity is used to construct the shape functions. The nonlinear equation of motion is derived using the principle of the minimization of total potential energy based on total Lagrangian approach. The Newmark method with the small time steps is used to solve the time dependent equations. At each time step, the iterative Newton-Raphson technique is applied to minimize the residential forces caused by the nonlinearity of the equations. The effects of nonlocal parameter and aspect ratio on stiffness and dynamic parameters are discussed by numerical examples. This paper furnishes a ground to develop the EFG method for large deformation analysis of structures considering small scale effects.

In this paper, a numerical solution of the generalized diffusion equation with a delay has been obtained by a numerical technique based on the Galerkin finite element method by applying the cubic B-spline basis functions. The time discretization process is carried out using the forward Euler method. The numerical scheme is required to preserve the delay-independent asymptotic stability with an additional restriction on time and spatial step sizes. Both the theoretical and computational rates of convergence of the numerical method have been examined and found to be in agreement. As it can be observed from the numerical results given in tables and graphs, the proposed method approximates the exact solution very well. The accuracy of the numerical scheme is confirmed by computing L₂ and L_∞ error norms.

최근에 불연속 근사변위함수와 보조받침을 이용한 특이기저함수를 도입하여 균열의 불연속성과 특이성을 구현한 개선된 EFG(Element-Free Galerkin) 균열해석기법이 제안되었다. 개선된 EFG 균열해석기법은 균열의 성장에 따른 해석모형의 수정 없이도 높은 정확도로 균열전파해석을 수행할 수 있지만, 다른 무요소법과 마찬가지로 해석결과가 사용되는 해석계수에 의존하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 개선된 EFG 균열해석기법에서 사용하는 해석계수 즉, compact 받침 크기, 팽창계수, 선단주변에서의 형상함수의 평활화, 보조받침을 사용하는 절점개수가 수치해석 결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 균열문제에 대한 patch 시험을 통해 응력에 대한 L₂오차노름과 응력확대계수를 산정하여 해석계수의 영향을 분석하였으며, 그 결과는 해석계수의 선택에 대한 지침으로 제시된다.

Previously, an improved crack analysis technique based on Element-Free Galerkin Method (EFGM) which includes a discontinuity function and a singular basis function was presented. The technique needs neither addition of nodes nor modification of the model, but it shows some dependency on the formulation and modeling parameters such as the class of weight function, the size of compact support, dilation parameter and the range controlled by the singular basis function. For those parameters, a parametric study was performed on the calculation of a discrete error and then, a guideline for the choice of adequate parameters in the technique was proposed.

The nonlinear resonant response of an axially moving beam is investigated in this paper via two different numerical techniques: the pseudo-arclength continuation technique and direct time integration. In particular, the response is examined for the system in the neighborhood of a three-to-one internal resonance between the first two modes as well as for the case where it is not. The equation of motion is reduced into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equation via the Galerkin technique. This set is solved using the pseudo-arclength continuation technique and the results are confirmed through use of direct time integration. Vibration characteristics of the system are presented in the form of frequency-response curves, time histories, phase-plane diagrams, and fast Fourier transforms (FFTs).

The present paper deals with the dynamic stability and vibration suppression of a cantilevered flexible pipe with a concetrated mass under an internal fluid flow. The equations of motion are derived by energy expressions using Hamilton's pronciple, and some analytical results using Galerkin's method are presented. Finally, the vibration suppression technique by means of an internal fluid flow is demonstrated experimentally.

The paper presents the dynamic stability of a vertical cantilevered pipe conveying fluid and having an intermediate translational linear spring. The translational linear spring can be located at an arbitrary position. Governing equations are derived by energy expressions, and numerical technique using Galerkin's method is applied to discretize the equations of small motion of the pipe. Effects of linear spring supports on the dynamic stability of a vertical cantilevered pipe conveying fluid are fully investigated for various locations and magnitudes of the translational linear spring.
