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...

In this method, boundary conditions can be applied directly and easily.
