Investigation of ALEGRA shock hydrocode algorithms using an exact free surface jet flow solution.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a test of the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian shock physics code, ALEGRA, using an exact solution that is very similar to a shaped charge jet flow.

Multiphase modeling of melting : solidification with high density variations using XFEM

Dave Martin
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase change problem was solved in two dimensions using the extended finite element method, and convection was included by solving the Stokes equations in the liquid phase using the Extended Finite Element method as well.

A finite element method for crack growth without remeshing

TL;DR: In this article, a displacement-based approximation is enriched near a crack by incorporating both discontinuous elds and the near tip asymptotic elds through a partition of unity method.

Element‐free Galerkin methods

TL;DR: In this article, an element-free Galerkin method which is applicable to arbitrary shapes but requires only nodal data is applied to elasticity and heat conduction problems, where moving least-squares interpolants are used to construct the trial and test functions for the variational principle.
