1022 Control of crack propagation using free mesh method and neural network

Abstract

This paper describes the 2D crack propagation analysis using the Free Mesh Method (FMM). The computational fracture mechanics involves frequent re-meshing as the crack propagating. In order to show the effectiveness of the FMM in crack propagation analysis, we solve the 2D crack propagation problems with the FMM. The method controlling the crack propagation will be proposed using Neural Network.
