A survey of several methods under the heading of strong formulation finite element method
(SFEM) is presented. These approaches are distinguished from classical one, termed weak …

Recent developments of meshfree and particle methods and their applications in applied
mechanics are surveyed. Three major methodologies have been reviewed. First, smoothed …

Meshfree Particle Methods is a comprehensive and systematic exposition of particle
methods, meshfree Galerkin and partitition of unity methods, molecular dynamics methods …

Research in science and technology is progressing at lighting speed. Globalization of
matters of mind and intellect can dramatically reduce the time required to exploit emerging …

A comparison study of the efficiency and accuracy of a variety of meshless trial and test
functions is presented in this paper, based on the general concept of the meshless local …

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

Meshless methods based on collocation with radial basis functions (RBFs) are investigated
in detail in this paper. Both globally supported and compactly supported radial basis …

A finite point method, least‐squares collocation meshless method, is proposed. Except for
the collocation points which are used to construct the trial functions, a number of auxiliary …

This paper presents an efficient meshless method for analyzing linear-elastic cracked
structures subject to single-or mixed-mode loading conditions. The method involves an …

Several physical phenomena such as transformation of pollutants, energy, particles and
many others can be described by the well-known convection–diffusion equation which is a …
