Abstract
The simulation of finite strain fracture is still an open problem and appeal to many
researchers in computational engineering field due to its complication of modeling
and finding solution. In this thesis, the non-linear fracture analysis of rubber-like
materials is studied. The extended radial point interpolation method (XRPIM),
which combines both the Heaviside function and the branch function is employed to
capture the discontinuous deformation field, as well as stress singularity around the
crack tip in a hyperelastic material with incompressible state. The support domains
are generated to approximate displacement field and its derivatives using shape
function of radial point interpolation method (RPIM). For the analysis
implementation, total Largange formulation is taken into XRPIM and the numerical
integration is performed by Gaussian Quadrature. The tearing energy that controls
the fracture of rubber-like materials is investigated by computing J-integral which is
commonly used in linear fracture mechanics. k parameter that is constant for a given
state of strain and the displacement field surrounding two crack edges are also
studied. Moreover, the behavior of a hyperelastic solid with both compressible and
nearly-incompressible state are analyzed by using integrated radial basis functions
(iRBF) meshfree method. The efficiency and accuracy of the presented method are
demonstrated by several numerical examples, in which results are compared with
the reference solutions.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 State of the art
Hyperelastic materials are special elastic materials for which the stress is
derived by the strain energy density function that determined by the current state of
deformation. One of the attractive properties of these rubber-like materials is their
ability to have large strains under small loads and retains initial configuration after
unloading. Moreover, hyperelastic materials have lightweight and good form-ability
so they are widely used in various engineering applications such as shock-absorbing
matters in transport vehicles, sport devices and buildings protection from
earthquakes. There are various forms of strain energy potentials to model the
nonlinear stress-strain relationship of such materials including Neo-Hookean,
Mooney-Rivlin, Yeoh, Ogden and so on. Because these materials mainly work in
large strain condition, so fracture analyses are usually considered as nonlinear
fractures. In practice, experiments are usually adopted to verify the behavior of
hyperelastic structures but their costs are high and it takes too much time to do a lot
of tests for obtaining an optimal design. For several decades, together with the
rapidly developing of computer and numerical methods, the extended finite element
methods (XFEM) are very strong and popular method in computational engineering.
It is introduced by Moës at al. and Dolbow at al. for the first time [1, 2], XFEM
has been successful in presenting the geometry of the crack through some level set
functions. And then, some linear elastic problems of fracture mechanics were solved
by this approach. The extension of XFEM to non-linear fracture mechanics has
attracted many researchers. In 2005, Legrain et al. used the XFEM to analyze the
stress around the crack tips in an incompressible rubber-like material at large strain
with classical Neo-Hookean model [3]. Later, an extension of XFEM has been
1
presented for large deformation of cracked hyperelastic bodies [4]. Recently, Huynh
at al. has proposed an extended polygonal finite element method for large
deformation fracture analysis [5]. Although re-meshing is avoided in crack
propagation, XFEM also has disadvantages because of the existence of the mesh of
elements. Especially in geometrical non-linear problems, when large deformation
cannot be passed over, the elements can be distorted and they cannot give good
approximated results.
In order to overcome the drawbacks of mesh-based methods, several meshless
or meshfree approaches have been developed, the main purpose is to remove the
depending on mesh of finite element models. In meshfree methods, there is no finite
element required for the domain but a system of scattered nodes is used for the
approximation. The most advantage of meshfree approach is that field nodes can be
removed, added or changed position easily in each computation step, it is useful in
problems that the domain changing occurs continuously. The enrichment techniques
are integrated into the approximation spaces of meshless methods to accurately
describe the discontinuities and the singular field at the crack-tips. On the other
hand, the vector level set method is also used as a useful tool in representing crack
geometry. There were some studies of crack problems based on linear fracture
mechanics using meshless methods [6-10]. One of them is the extended radial point
interpolation method (XRPIM) [10]. Similar to the formulation of XFEM, Nguyen
at al. introduced and successfully applied XRPIM for crack growth modeling in
elastic solids by combining radial point interpolation method (RPIM) and
enrichment functions. However, the number of studies on non-linear fracture
mechanics using meshless methods is still limited [11, 12]. So using meshfree
methods for the crack problem in large deformation is hopeful.
In this study, XRPIM is employed to investigate the behavior of crack problems
with incompressible hyperelastic solid. The incompressible Neo-Hookean model is
used for simulation and problems are considered in plane stress condition. Some
results of simulation for non-cracked hyperelastic solid using integrated radial basis
2
functions (iRBF) are also presented in this thesis. According to Mai at al. [13],
using iRBF can improve the accuracy for the approximation of the derivative of a
function. Phuc at al. [14] has successfully applied iRBF to develop a meshfree
method for quasi-lower bound shakedown analysis of structures. It is interesting
that among meshfree approaches, the radial point interpolation method (RPIM) and
integrated radial basis functions (iRBF), automatically satisfies the Kronecker
property, and thus the direct enforcement of boundary conditions can be taken.
1.2 Scope of the study
In this study, the author concentrates on the following contents
The integrated Radial Basis Function Meshfree Method: this method is
