Elastostatic computations on aggregates of grains with sharp interfaces, corners, and triple-junctions

Helsing, Johan LU and Ojala, Rikard LU (2009) In International Journal of Solids and Structures 46(25-26). p.4437-4450
Abstract
We present a fast algorithm for the calculation of elastostatic fields

in two-dimensional assemblies of elastic grains, separated by sharp

grain boundaries. The algorithm uses an integral equation approach,

combined with the fast multipole method and recursive compression to

resolve stress concentrations also very close to grain boundary

junctions. Singular basis functions on analytic form are not

required. Accurate results can be obtained at a cost roughly

proportional to the number of grains in the assembly. Large-scale

problems, with thousands of grains, are solved using modest

computational resources.
