We consider a collocation method using radial functions for the solution of partial differential equations in irregular domains. We use a regularised least squares approach to solve the potentially ill-conditioned problems that may arise. This meshless method is easy to implement and eliminates most of the problems that mesh oriented methods have with irregular boundaries and complicated domain...

A meshless method based on the local Petrov-Galerkin approach is proposed for solution of static and elastodynamic problems in a homogeneous anisotropic medium. The Heaviside step function is used as the test functions in the local weak form. It is leading to derive local boundary integral equations (LBIEs). For transient elastodynamic problems the Laplace transfor technique is applied and the ...

in this paper, three dimensional (3d) static and dynamic analysis of thick plates based on the meshless local petrov-galerkin (mlpg) is presented. using the kinematics of a three-dimensional continuum, the local weak form of the equilibrium equations is derived. a weak formulation for the set of governing equations is transformed into local integral equations on local sub-domains by using a uni...

An inviscid actuator disk model is embedded in a three-dimensional low-order panel method code for inviscid incompressible flow in order to study the propeller effects on an arbitrary body. The actuator disk model predicts the time–averaged induced velocities in the slipstream of a propeller with an arbitrary radial distribution of load. The model is constructed by superposition of four vortici...

In this paper, some meshless methods based on the local Newton basis functions are used to solve some time dependent partial differential equations. For stability reasons, used variably scaled radial kernels for constructing Newton basis functions. In continuation, with considering presented basis functions as trial functions, approximated solution functions in the event of spatial variable wit...

The large deformation analysis is one of major challenges in numerical modelling and simulation of metal forming. Although the finite element method (FEM) is a well-established method for modeling nonlinear problems, it often encounters difficulties for large deformation analyses due to the mesh distortion issues. Because no mesh is used, the meshless methods show very good potential for the la...

Here are three short stories on meshless methods using kernel techniques: • Any well–posed linear problem in the native space NΦ of a symmetric (strictly) positive definite kernel Φ can be successfully solved by symmetric meshless collocation. This applies to a large variety of standard linear PDE problems. • Relaxing interpolation conditions by allowing some small absolute error can significan...

In this paper, we propose a new multilevel univariate approximation method with high order accuracy using radial basis function interpolation and cubic B-spline quasi-interpolation. The proposed approach includes two schemes, which are based on radial basis function interpolation with less center points, and cubic B-spline quasi-interpolation operator. Error analysis shows that our method produ...
