Application of Natural Element Method in Numerical Simulation of Crack Propagation

The properties of interpolation of nodal data, ease of imposing essential boundary conditions, and the computational efficiency are some of the most important advantages of natural element method based on the non-Sibsonian interpolation over other meshless methods based on the moving least squares a...
