Numerical Solution of Solid Mechanics Problems Using a Boundary-Only and Truly Meshless Method
نویسنده
چکیده
Combining the hybrid displacement variational formulation and the radial basis point interpolation, a truly meshless and boundary-only method is developed in this paper for the numerical solution of solid mechanics problems in two and three dimensions. In this method, boundary conditions can be applied directly and easily. Besides, it is truly meshless, that is, it only requires nodes generated on the boundary of the domain, and does not require any element either for variable interpolation or for numerical integration. Some numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the method.

A truly meshless method formulation for analysis of non-Fourier heat conduction in solids
The non-Fourier effect in heat conduction is important in strong thermal environments and thermal shock problems. Generally, commercial FE codes are not available for analysis of non-Fourier heat conduction. In this study, a meshless formulation is presented for the analysis of the non-Fourier heat conduction in the materials. The formulation is based on the symmetric local weak form of the sec...

A truly Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method is developed for solving 3D elasto-static problems. Using the general MLPG concept, this method is derived through the local weak forms of the equilibrium equations, by using a test function, namely, the Heaviside step function. The Moving Least Squares (MLS) are chosen to construct the shape functions. The penalty approach is used to impose ...

A local symmetric weak form (LSWF) for linear potential problems is developed, and a truly meshless method, based on the LSWF and the moving least squares approximation, is presented for solving potential problems with high accuracy. The essential boundary conditions in the present formulation are imposed by a penalty method. The present method does not need a ``®nite element mesh'', either for...
