Abstract
In this study, the enriched finite element method is applied to compute the intensity of singularity for dissimilar material joints with 2-real singularities. Different mesh types and different size of the enriched region are applied to improve an accuracy of the results. It is shown that the results from applied the enriched FEM to the 3-material junction is agreed with those using a conventional FEM. In addition, numerical error is reduced by changing mesh types from linear to quadratic elements.
