Abstract A new numerical algorithm based on the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin approach is presented for analyzing the dynamic fracture problems in elastic media. To simplify the treatment of essential boundary condition, a novel modified Moving Least Square (MLS) procedure is proposed by introducing Lagrange multiplier into MLS procedure, which can perform both MLS approximation and interpolation in one approximation domain. The compact spline function is used as the test function in the local form of elasto-dynamic equations. For the feature of stress wave propagation, the coupled second-order ODEs respect to the time are solved by the explicit central difference method with… More >
