    Abstract:

    To improve the solution efficiency and accuracy of the fracture parameters, the smoothed finite element method-virtual crack close method was proposed based on the combination of these two methods. The fracture parameters of the composite material circular plate with different length and angle oblique cracks were solved, and the result was compared with that of the finite element method-virtual crack closure method. The calculation result confirms that this method has advantages of high accuracy, no special treatment on the elements at crack tip and less mesh resolution requirement. This method is simple but efficient for the calculation of fracture problems.
