Numerical Solution of Solid Mechanics Problems Using a Boundary-Only and Truly Meshless Method

Combining the hybrid displacement variational formulation and the radial basis point interpolation, a truly meshless and boundary-only method is developed in this paper for the numerical solution of solid mechanics problems in two and three dimensions. In this method, boundary conditions can be appl...
