Abstract A meshless local Petrov-Galerkin method (MLPG) for the analysis of the elasto-plastic fracture problem is presented in this paper. The meshless method uses the moving least squares (MLS) to approximate the field functions. The shape function has not Kronecker Delta properties for the trial-function interpolation, and a direct interpolation method is adopted to impose essential boundary conditions. The MLPG method does not involve any domain and singular integrals if body force is ignored. It only involves a regular boundary integral. Two numerical examples show that results obtained by the present method have a good agreement with that by FEM software-ANSYS.… More >
