The Local Point Interpolation Method (LPIM) is a newly developed truly meshless method, based on the idea of Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) approach. In this paper, a new LPIM formulation is proposed to deal with 4th order boundary-value and initial-value problems for static and dynamic analysis (stability, free vibration and forced vibration) of beams. Local weak forms are developed usi...

By using the finite element $p$-Version in convection-diffusion problems, we can attain to a stabilized and accurate results. Furthermore, the fundamental of the finite element $p$-Version is augmentation degrees of freedom. Based on the fact that the finite element and the meshless methods have similar concept, it is obvious that many ideas in the finite element can be easily used in the meshl...

in this paper, an adaptive meshless method of line is applied to distribute the nodes in the spatial domain. in many cases in meshless methods, it is also necessary for the chosen nodes to have certain smoothness properties. the set of nodes is also required to satisfy certain constraints. in this paper, one of these constraints is investigated. the aim of this manuscript is the implementation ...

An improved truly meshless method is presented for three-dimensional (3D) electromagnetic problems. In the proposed method, the computational time for the construction of the introduced shape function is lower than the other meshless methods considerably. An efficient and stable nodal integration technique based on the Taylor series extension is also used in the proposed meshless method. Weak-f...

The meshless method based on the least-squares approach, the meshless weighted leastsquares (MWLS) method, is extended to solve conduction heat transfer problems. The MWLS formulation is first established for steady-state problems and then extended to unsteady-state problems with time-stepping schemes. Theoretical analysis and numerical examples indicate that larger time steps can be used in th...

Over the past two decades meshless methods have attracted much attention owing to their advantages in adaptivity, higher degree of solution field continuity, and capability to handle moving boundary and changing geometry. In this work, a meshless integral method based on the regularized boundary integral equation has been developed and applied to two-dimensional linear elasticity and elastoplas...

The propagation of cracks in three dimensions is analyzed by a meshless method. The cracks are modeled by a set of triangles that are added when the propagation occurs. Since the method is meshless, no remeshing of the domain is necessary during the propagation. To avoid using a large number of degrees of freedom, the stress singularity along the front of the cracks is taken into account by an ...

It is widely acknowledged that 3-D mesh generation remains one of the most man-hours consuming techniques within computational mechanics. The problem of mesh generation is that the time remains unbounded, even using the most sophisticated mesh-generator. For a given distribution of points, it is possible to obtain a mesh very quickly, but it may require several iterations, including manual inte...

This study presents a meshless-based local reanalysis (MLR) method. The purpose of this study is to extend reanalysis methods to the Kriging interpolation meshless method due to its high efficiency. In this study, two reanalysis methods: combined approximations CA) and indirect factorization updating (IFU) methods are utilized. Considering the computational cost of meshless methods, the reanaly...

The regularized meshless method is a novel boundary-type meshless method but by now has largely been confined to homogeneous problems. In this paper, we apply the regularized meshless method to the nonhomogeneous problems in conjunction with the dual reciprocity technique in the evaluation of the particular solution. Numerical experiments of three benchmark nonhomogeneous problems demonstrate t...
