報告摘要：
Implicit gradient (IG) is expressed in an integral equation with embedded gradient consistency without explicit derivatives. It offers a paradigm for constructing approximation of function derivatives for the numerical solution of PDEs, either by using strong forms or weak forms. A straightforward application of IG is for the gradient typed regularization of ill-posed problems, such as the strain localization problems. GI can also be used to construct stabilization of convection dominated problems and as the stabilization of nodally integrated Galerkin equation. Without the need of taking directives of approximation functions, GI also offers computational efficiency for Meshfree based numerical solution of PDEs. This talk will introduce continuous and discrete GI for approximation of derivatives, discuss the gradient consistency of GI and its convergence properties in solving PDEs, and demonstrate its applications to strain localization, convection dominated problems, and modeling of damage and fracture processes in solids subjected to extreme loadings.
