Abstract: A meshless method based on radial point interpolation was recently developed as an effective tool for solving partial differential equations, and has been widely applied to a number of different problems. In addition to the primary advantage of the meshless methods that the computation is performed without any connectivity information between field nodes, the radial point interpolatio...

For both linear and nonlinear analysis, finite element method (FEM) software packages, whether commercial or in-house, have contributed significantly to ease the analysis of simple complex structures with various working conditions. However, literature offers other discretization techniques equally accurate, which show a higher meshing flexibility, such as meshless methods. Thus, in this work, ...

The requirements for interpolation of scattered data are high accuracy and high efficiency. In this paper, a piecewise bivariate Hermite interpolant satisfying these requirements is proposed. We firstly construct a triangulation mesh using the given scattered point set. Based on this mesh, the computational point (x, y) is divided into two types: interior point and exterior point. The value of ...

In this paper, the linearly conforming enriched radial basis point interpolation method is implemented for the elasto-plastic analysis of discontinuous medium. The linear conformability of the method is satisfied by the application of stabilized nodal integration and the enrichment of radial basis functions is achieved by the addition of linear polynomial terms. To implement the method for the ...

Having various concrete industrial applications in mind we focus on surface fitting to large scattered data sets. We describe a general method for modelling data which incorporates both filtering using triangulations, and hierarchical interpolation based on compactly supported radial basis functions. The uniformity of the data points plays a significant role. The utility of the method is confir...
