Abstract:
      When analyzing typical structures with holes using the Finite Element Method(FEM), the inevitable reduction of mesh quality makes it difficult to achieve satisfying calculation precision and efficiency simultaneously.The Numerical Manifold Method (NMM) with two sets of cover systems was used for the analysis of such structures, where special hole-edge manifold elements were applied.These elements were constructed by extending the base of local approximation, referring to the theoretical solution of the benchmark circular hole stress concentration problem.Calculation results of numerical examples with different loads and geometrical characteristics suggest that NMM with the special hole-edge elements achieves higher accuracy and better convergence compared with the FEM, which indicates the advantages of the NMM when analyzing geometrically complex structures, as well as its broad application prospects in the relevant fields.
