摘要：
A novel procedure of singular edge-based smoothed finite element method (singular ES-FEM) has been customized for the fatigue crack growth analysis. For this method, a layer of crack-tip elements with special shape functions was adopted to capture the theoretical singularity of the stress field. In addition, a 'strain smoothing technique' on the smoothing domains associated with the elements' edges was implemented that significantly improves the accuracy of results compared to the existing finite element method. A comparison of results with the experimental observations reported by others reveals an excellent agreement between them implying that singular ES-FEM accurately simulates the fatigue behavior.
