A theoretical study on the smoothed FEM (S‐FEM) models: Properties, accuracy and convergence rates

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 2010
AbstractIncorporating the strain smoothing technique of meshfree methods into the standard finite element method (FEM), Liu et al. have recently proposed a series of smoothed finite element methods (S‐FEM) for solid mechanics problems. In these S‐FEM models, the compatible strain fields are smoothed based on smoothing domains associated with entities ...

S-FEM FOR FRACTURE PROBLEMS, THEORY, FORMULATION AND APPLICATION

International Journal of Computational Methods, 2014
This paper briefs some of recent works on applications of the smoothed finite element method (SFEM) to fracture problems. In the SFEM formulation for simulating the singular filed near the crack-tip, it is known that one can directly enrich the filed by adding in proper terms needed to simulate the singularity, which can be done in a number of ways ...

A SMOOTHED FEM (S-FEM) FOR HEAT TRANSFER PROBLEMS

International Journal of Computational Methods, 2013
By smoothing, via various ways, the compatible strain fields of the standard finite element method (FEM) using the gradient smoothing technique, a family of smoothed FEMs (S-FEMs) has been developed recently. The S-FEM possesses the advantages of both mesh-free methods and the standard FEM and works well with triangular and tetrahedral background cells
