Abstract

For virtual testing of composite components to become a reality, a detailed and accurate simulation of damage and crack propagation is necessary. Unfortunately, such problems easily overwhelm the classical finite element approach, especially when the cracks are modelled using common FE routines (discrete crack model). Meshless methods, especially the element-free Galerkin method (EFG), are attractive for the simplicity of topology regeneration. This paper investigates certain issues of interest in EFG modelling of beam delamination, namely refinement, influence domain and integration schemes.
