Abstract
We propose a local C2-continuous 2-node integrated-RBF
element (IRBFE) method for the numerical modeling of strain
localisation due to material discontinuity in a segmented elastic bar. The proposed local 2-node IRBFE method can be
based on structured or unstructured point collocation procedures where both accuracy and efficiency are achieved. We introduce an effective way to exactly handle the material discontinuity by means of integration constants. Numerical results obtained for a bimaterial bar are compared with those from the analytic, and finite element methods, demonstrating the advantage of the present approach. It will be shown that the solution is C2-continuous except at the bimaterial interface where the actual physical discontinuity is captured.
