This paper investigated a hybrid Meshless Displacement Discontinuity Method (MDDM) for a cracked plate subjected to static and dynamic loadings. The purpose of MDDM is to model displacement discontinuity on a cracked surface by the displacement discontinuity method in an infinite plate. This was achieved by considering a meshless approach, the equilibrium equations, and the boundary conditions for a domain with an irregular nodes distribution. Also, by imposing the principle of superposition, accurate and convergent solutions can be obtained. I...
