In this work, an adaptive and efficient basis function is presented by which the Schrodinger equation can be solved using meshless method in an accurate and fast approach. The base of this achievement is the quantum wave packet. The proposed basis function reduces time consumption of the meshless method, approximately to half. Also, it inherits the fundamental properties of wave packets. Theref...

Meshless Finite Element Methods, namely elementfree Galerkin and point-interpolation method were implemented and tested concerning their applicability to typical engineering problems like electrical fields and structural mechanics. A class-structure was developed which allows a consistent implementation of these methods together with classical FEM in a common framework. Strengths and weaknesses...

Two meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) methods based on two different trial functions but that use a simple linear test function were developed for beam and column problems. These methods used generalized moving least squares (GMLS) and radial basis (RB) interpolation functions as trial functions. These two methods were tested on various patch test problems. Both methods passed the patch tes...

This paper introduces an effective H-adaptive upgrade to solution of the transport phenomena by the novel Local Radial Basis Function Collocation Method (LRBFCM). The transport variable is represented on overlapping 5-noded influence-domains through collocation by using multiquadrics Radial Basis Functions (RBF). The involved first and second derivatives of the variable are calculated from the ...

Due to the very general nature of the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method, it is very easy and natural to introduce the upwinding concept (even in multidimensional cases) in the MLPG method, in order to deal with convection-dominated flows. In this paper, several upwinding schemes are proposed, and applied to solve steady convectiondiffusion problems, in one and two dimensions. Even fo...

This paper describes a new topology optimization (TO) technique based on meshless method to evolve two-dimensional truss structures. The meshless method has been considered as a very attractive computational technique since it does not need any mesh generation process during the analysis. It has been gradually and widely used in many engineering disciplines and a particular weak point such as t...

The truly Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method is extended to solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The local weak form is modified in a very careful way so as to ovecome the so-called Babus̃ka-Brezzi conditions. In addition, The upwinding scheme as developed in Lin and Atluri (2000a) and Lin and Atluri (2000b) is used to stabilize the convection operator in the streamline di...

We present a novel algorithm for efficiently splitting deformable solids along arbitrary piecewise linear crack surfaces in cutting and fracture simulations. The algorithm combines a meshless discretization of the deformation field with explicit surface tracking using a triangle mesh. We decompose the splitting operation into a first step where we synthesize crack surfaces, and a second step wh...

We present two new methods for linear elasticity that simultaneously yield stress and displacement approximations of optimal accuracy in both the mesh size h and polynomial degree p. This is achieved within the recently developed discontinuous PetrovGalerkin (DPG) framework. In this framework, both the stress and the displacement approximations are discontinuous across element interfaces. We st...

A meshless method based on the local Petrov-Galerkin approach is proposed, to solve boundary and initial value problems of piezoelectric and magnetoelectric-elastic solids with continuously varying material properties. Stationary and transient dynamic 2-D problems are considered in this paper. The mechanical fields are described by the equations of motion with an inertial term. To eliminate the...
