Applicability of Compounded Mesh Method to Three-Dimensional Interface Problems : 2nd. Report, Application to Interface Crack Problems

Abstract

In the first report, the formulation of the compounded mesh method was given, and the applicability of the method was studied through numerical examples of interface edge problems. In this paper, three-dimensional center-through interface crack model is studied. Two mesh patterns are prepared. One mesh pattern is for the crack singularity and the other mesh is for interface edge singularity. These two mesh patterns are compounded, and the applicability of this method is studied.
