Abstract

In this study an adaptive node generation procedure in the Element-free Galerkin (EFG) method using bubble-meshing technique is Proposed. Since we construct the initial configuration of nodes by subdivision of background cell, abrupt changes of inter-nodal distance between higher and lower error regions are unavoidable. This unpreferable nodal spacing induces additional errors. To obtain the smooth nodal configuration the nodal configurations are regenerated by bubble-meshing technique. This bubble meshing technique was originally developed to generate a set of well-shaped triangles and tetrahedra. In odder to evaluate the effect of abrupt changes of nodal spacing, one-dimensional problems with various nodal configurations mere investigated. To demonstrate the performance of proposed scheme, the sequences of making optimal nodal configuration with bubble meshing technique are investigated for several problems.

본 연구에서는 Bubble Mesh 기법을 이용한 적응적 최적 절점생성기법을 제안하고 이를 Element-free Galerkin 방법에 적용하였다. 무요소방법에서 제안된 일반적인 적응적 절점배치방법의 경우 적분격자를 이용하기 때문에 그 절점의 분포가 평가된 오차를 정확히 반영하지 못하고 불균등한 세분화로 인해 주변 절점분포와 급격한 절점밀도의 차이를 보이게 되어 추가적인 해석오차를 유발한다. 본 연구에서는 평가된 오차의 분포와 적분격자를 따라 구성된 불균등한 초기절점배치를 최적삼각격자 구성기법인 Bubble Mesh 기법을 이용하여 최적화 시키는 적응적 절점구성기법을 제안하였다. 절점의 불균등한 배치에 따른 추가적인 오차의 발생현상을 보이기 위해 1차원 문제를 해석하였고 본 연구에서 제안된 Bubble Mesh 기법을 이용한 적응적 무요소해석법의 적용성을 보이기 위해 2차원 문제를 해석하였다.
