The meshfree methods in computational mechanics have been actively proposed and
increasingly developed in order to overcome some drawbacks in the conventional numerical …

A review is presented for analysis of problems in engineering & the sciences, with the use of
the meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method. The success of the meshless methods …

Since early publications in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the finite volume method has
been shown suitable for solid mechanics analyses. At present, there are several flavours of …

We analyze transient finite electroelastodynamic deformations of a perfect electrically
conducting undamped clamped–clamped beam, a clamped–clamped parabolic arch and a …

An advantage of functionally graded materials (FGMs) over laminated composites is that
material properties vary continuously in an FGM but are discontinuous across adjoining …

We study transient thermoelastic deformations of a thick functionally graded plate with edges
held at a uniform temperature and either simply supported or clamped. Either the …

In recent years, there have been extensive efforts to find the numerical methods for solving
problems with interface. The main idea of this work is to introduce an efficient truly meshless …

With the improved moving least-squares (IMLS) approximation, an orthogonal function
system with a weight function is used as the basis function. The combination of the element …

We propose a new and simple technique called the Symmetric Smoothed Particle
Hydrodynamics (SSPH) method to construct basis functions for meshless methods that use …

During the past few years, the idea of using meshless methods for numerical solution of
partial differential equations (PDEs) has received much attention throughout the scientific …
