Abstract

Partial interaction between two different materials of composite beam is consequent from longitudinal slip and transverse uplift effects at interfacial surface. The behaviour has yielded higher order differential equation as compared to beam that interacts fully. In this paper, a meshless approach for the analysis of composite beam with partial interaction by Element Free Galerkin (EFG) method is formulated and investigated. Discretized solely by nodes, the Moving Least Square (MLS) method is adopted for the EFG shape functions formulation and the variational approach is chosen in developing its Galerkin weak form. The weak form essential boundary conditions are enforced by Lagrange multiplier, where comparable results are obtained between developed EFG code and established analytical solutions. In addition, influence of various weight functions on shape function smoothness of EFG code is explored.
