Abstract: The interpolating element-free Galerkin scaled boundary method is a semi-analytical numerical method which combines the advantages of the scaled boundary method and the element-free Galerkin method under the framework of improved interpolating moving least-squares method. By introducing the scaled boundary coordinate system, this method only needs to perform numerical discretization on the boundary of the computational domain and solve the problem by using the analytical method in the radial direction, which has considerable accuracy and efficiency in analyzing the fracture problem of isotropic materials. In order to make full use of the virtues of this method and improve its service ability, the interpolating element-free Galerkin scaled boundary method is proposed to study the fracture of orthotropic materials. Finally, two numerical examples of different crack forms are used to certify the effectiveness and precision of the method.
