Abstract: Methods and systems for numerically simulating structural behaviors of embedded bi-materials are disclosed. At least first and second grid models are created independently for an embedded bi-material that contains an immersed material embedded entirely within a base material. First group of meshfree nodes represents the entire domain (i.e., base plus immersed materials). Second group of meshfree nodes represents the immersed or embedded material, which includes all interface nodes and nodes located within a space bordered by the material interface. Numerical structural behaviors of the embedded bi-material are simulated using the first and second set of meshfree nodes with a meshfree method that combines two meshfree approximations. The first meshfree approximation covers the first set of meshfree nodes and is based on properties of the base material, while the second meshfree approximation covers the second set of meshfree nodes and is based on a differential between the immersed and base materials.

Abstract: A two-level transformation scheme to enable a practical fast mesh-free method is disclosed. The first level transformation transforms the original chosen mesh-free shape function to a first transformed mesh-free shape function that preserves Kronecker delta properties. The first transformed mesh-free function allows the essential boundary conditions to be imposed directly. The second-level transformation scheme employs a low pass filter function served as a regularization process that filters out the higher-order terms in the monomial mesh-free approximation obtained from the first-level transformation scheme with desired consistency and completeness conditions. This integration scheme requires only a low-order integration rule comparing to the high order integration rule used in the traditional mesh-free methods. The present invention simplifies the boundary condition treatments and avoids the usage of high-order integration rule and therefore is more practical than the traditional mesh-free methods.

Abstract: System, method and software product for numerically simulating structural behaviors of an engineering product in compressible and near-incomprssible region is disclosed. Meshfree enriched finite element method (ME-FEM) is used for such numerical simulation. ME-FEM requires an engineering product be represented by a FEM model comprising a plurality of finite elements. Finite elements used in the ME-FEM are generally low-order finite elements. Each of the finite elements in the FEM model is enriched by at least one meshfree enriched (ME) node located within the element's domain. Each ME node has additional degrees-of-freedom for the element it belongs independent from those of the corner nodes. A displacement based first-order convex meshfree approximation is applied to the ME node. The convex meshfree approximation has Knonecker-delta property at the element's boundary. The gradient matrix of ME-FEM element satisfies integration constraint. ME-FEM interpolation is an element-wise meshfree interpolation that is discrete divergence-free at the incompressible limit.

Abstract: A method and system for transferring state variables between an old and new model in an adaptive mesh-free analysis is described. The old and the new model are associated with a set of old and new integration points, respectively. A third set of nodes is formed to include old boundary nodes and the set of old integration points. For each of the new integration points, a sub-set of the third set is defined. The support of each node of the sub-set covers the new integration point to be evaluated. A local interpolant with a desirable consistency condition and interpolation properties is constructed to interpolate state variables at the new integration points. All of the non-interpolated approximation can be transformed into the interpolated approximation with the desired consistency condition and smoothness using this procedure.
