Efficient Adjacency Queries and Dynamic Refinement for Meshfree Methods with Applications to Explicit Fracture Modeling

Meshfree methods provide a more practical approach to solving problems involving large deformation and modeling fracture compared to the Finite Element Method (FEM). However meshfree methods are more computationally intensive compared to FEM, which can limit their practicality in engineering. Meshfr...
