20.500.12556/DiRROS-21003 Fourth-order phase field modelling of brittle fracture with strong form meshless method This study aims to find a solution for crack propagation in 2D brittle elastic material using the local radial basis function collocation method. The staggered solution of the fourth-order phase field and mechanical model is structured with polyharmonic spline shape functions augmented with polynomials. Two benchmark tests are carried out to assess the performance of the method. First, a non-cracked square plate problem is solved under tensile loading to validate the implementation by comparing the numerical and analytical solutions. The analysis shows that the iterative process converges even with a large loading step, whereas the non-iterative process requires smaller steps for convergence to the analytical solution. In the second case, a single-edge cracked square plate subjected to tensile loading is solved, and the results show a good agreement with the reference solution. The effects of the incremental loading, length scale parameter, and mesh convergence for regular and scattered nodes are demonstrated. This study presents a pioneering attempt to solve the phase field crack propagation using a strong-form meshless method. The results underline the essential role of the represented method for an accurate and efficient solution to crack propagation. It also provides valuable insights for future research towards more sophisticated material models. strong form meshless method fourth-order phase field crack propagation staggered approach polyharmonic splines true false true Elsevier Nizozemska Angleški jezik Ni določen © 2024 The Authors Neznano 2024-12-17 06:48:58 2024-12-17 06:48:59 2024-12-18 03:55:06 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 str. 1-14 Part B, [art. no.] 106025 Vol. 169 Dec. 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-12-15 539.4 0955-7997 10.1016/j.enganabound.2024.106025 213966083 RAZ_Ali_Izaz_2024.pdf RAZ_Ali_Izaz_2024.pdf 1 65F6A05DFC3D28B591BBB53253273EA8 f82305a6fd8bc8b09cef28350c4b97c988053c3ffa8f1c06252107b2920ff77c 173230c2-bc41-11ef-ba3f-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=29729 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0955799724004983 1 9d5b877c-bc3a-11ef-ba3f-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=29726 Inštitut za kovinske materiale in tehnologije 0 0 0
