By implementing Particle Discretization Scheme (PDS) to FEM software, PDS-FEM, which
enables the computation of crack propagation for large structures, is developed. PDS gives
the method of discretization using characteristic function. Since implementing PDS doesn't
change the solver of FEM, PDS-FEM achieves high-speed computation. This paper mainly
mentions about PDS-FEM for elasto-plastic analysis and shows one example of
computations by this software. The computations target a simulation of the experiment in E …
