A　meshless　shell　method　for　dynamic　fracture　problems　based　on　normalized　Smoothed　Particle　Hydrodynamics　(SPH)　is　presented.　The　SPH　method　is　corrected　by　a　normalization　in　order　to　fulfill　completeness　requirement.　Instability　are　controlled　by　stress-point　integration.　The　method　is　modified　for　Mindlin-Reissner　shell　analysis.　Stress　based　fracture　criterion　is　incorporated　based　on　the　visibility　method.　The　method　is　applied　to　two　dynamic　fracture　problems　in　thin-walled　pipes　including　fluid-structure　interaction.　The　results　are　compared　to　experimental　data　and　they　are　very　promising.　Copyright　©　2009　by　ASME.
