Implementation of Meshless FEM for Engineering Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Meshless Finite Element Methods, namely elementfree Galerkin and point-interpolation method were implemented and tested concerning their applicability to typical engineering problems like electrical fields and structural mechanics. A class-structure was developed which allows a consistent implementation of these methods together with classical FEM in a common framework. Strengths and weaknesses of the methods under investigation are discussed. As a result of this work joint usage of meshless methods together with classical Finite Elements are recommended. Keywords—Finite Elements, meshless, element-free Galerkin, point-interpolation.

Meshless Methods , Generalized Finite Element Methods , and Related Approaches
Recently the Meshless and Generalized FEM became to be in the center of interest, especially in the engineering community. I have identified more than 200 engineering papers and four books ([1],[2],[3],[4]). I found very few papers of mathematical character (assumptions, theorems, proofs). Hence there is a large experience and heuristics but not too much mathematical understanding of the method...

Abstract : The meshless local Petrov-Galerkin method with unity as the weighting function has been applied to the solution of the Navier-Stokes and energy equations. The Navier-Stokes equations in terms of the stream function and vorticity formulation together with the energy equation are solved for a driven cavity flow for moderate Reynolds numbers using different point distributions. The L2-...
متن کاملThe generalized product partition of unity for the meshless methods
The partition of unity is an essential ingredient for meshless methods named by GFEM, PUFEM (partition of unity FEM), XFEM(extended FEM), RKPM(reproducing kernel particle method), RPPM(reproducing polynomial particle method), the method of clouds in the literature. There are two popular choices for partition of unity: a piecewise linear FEM mesh and the Shepard-type partition of unity. However,...

In this study, a cellular automaton (CA) is developed o combine the advantages of finite element method (FEM) and meshless method to analyze two-dimensional elastic problems. By the CA, a two-dimensional domain is discretized into a grid of nodes which are distributed randomly in the domain. For convenience, the nodes are classified into the FEM group and the meshless group. In the FEM zone tha...
