Abstract
Because of the nonlinearity, three-dimensional (3D) elastoplastic problems are very important for any numerical method. In this study, the improved interpolating element-free Galerkin (IIEFG) method based on nonsingular weight functions for elastoplastic problems is presented. An improved interpolating moving least-squares (IIMLS) method with nonsingular weight functions is applied to construct the shape function. The elastoplastic control equations are formulated using the incremental Galerkin weak form with considering the nonlinear stress-strain relationship. Then the equations of IIEFG are presented. A key advantage of IIEFG is its ability to directly apply boundary conditions to improve computational efficiency because of the interpolating property of IIMLS. And using nonsingular weight functions can overcome the disadvantage of singular weight functions, and the computational accuracy is improved. Five numerical examples are presented to evaluate the impact of parameters such as node arrangement, the number of loading steps, and scaling parameters of the influence domain impact the calculation results of this method. Comparisons with other numerical methods demonstrate the superior computational efficiency and accuracy of IIEFG for solving 3D elastoplastic problems.
