Enriched Element-Free Galerkin Method for Fracture Analysis of Functionally Graded Piezoelectric Materials

A new method using the enriched element-free Galerkin method (EEFGM) to model functionally graded piezoelectric materials (FGPMs) with cracks was presented. To improve the solution accuracy, extended terms were introduced into the approximation function of the conventional element-free Galerkin meth...
