Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin Method in Anisotropic Elasticity
نویسندگان
چکیده
A meshless method based on the local Petrov-Galerkin approach is proposed for solution of static and elastodynamic problems in a homogeneous anisotropic medium. The Heaviside step function is used as the test functions in the local weak form. It is leading to derive local boundary integral equations (LBIEs). For transient elastodynamic problems the Laplace transfor technique is applied and the LBIEs are given in the Laplace transform domain. The analyzed domain is covered by small subdomains with a simple geometry such as circles in 2-d problems. The final form of local integral equations has a pure contour character only in elastostatics. In elastodynamics an additional domain integral is involved due to inertia terms. The moving least square (MLS) method is used for approximation of physical quantities in LBIEs. keyword: meshless method, local weak form, Heaviside step function, moving least squares interpolation, Laplace transform

Abstract : The meshless local Petrov-Galerkin method with unity as the weighting function has been applied to the solution of the Navier-Stokes and energy equations. The Navier-Stokes equations in terms of the stream function and vorticity formulation together with the energy equation are solved for a driven cavity flow for moderate Reynolds numbers using different point distributions.

A truly Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method is developed for solving 3D elasto-static problems. Using the general MLPG concept, this method is derived through the local weak forms of the equilibrium equations, by using a test function, namely, the Heaviside step function. The Moving Least Squares (MLS) are chosen to construct the shape functions. The penalty approach is used to impose ...
