Dynamic fracture of thin-walled cylindrical structures is studied with a large deformation meshfree method. Due to the higher order continuity and smoothness of the shape functions, meshfree methods are well suited to simulate dynamic fracture of thin-walled structures since they avoid ill-conditioning as well as stiffening in numerical computations. Simulations of detonation driven fracture in thin pipes demonstrate the efficiency of the method.
