Recently, the efficiency of computer modeling and simulations has been improving dramatically. Consequently, the structural analysis of welding phenomena based on thermaleelasticeplastic finite element method (FEM) can be performedwith a good accuracy in a short time. However, if themodel to be analyzed is large and it has a complex shape, problemsmight occur with preprocessing, such as themesh...

We discuss a discretization approach for the p Laplacian equation and a variational inequality associated to fourth order elliptic operators, via a meshless approach based on duality theory. MSC: 35J20, 35J25, 65N99. keywords: nonlinear elliptic equations, Fenchel theorem, approximation, meshless method.

The root of this study, comes from the lack of regularity where exists in shape function selection in direct meshless methods. In this work, we are going to establish a technique which is based on both analytical and simulated results; helps select a well-behaved shape function for which the shape parameters have been predetermined. This work has been focused on wave equation as the most import...

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...

Many numerical and analytical schemes exist for solving heat transfer problems. The meshless method is a particularly attractive method that is receiving attention in the engineering and scientific modeling communities. The meshless method is simple, accurate, and requires no polygonalisation. In this study, we focus on the application of meshless methods using radial basis functions (RBFs) – w...

For simulation of numerical problems, meshless methods have emerged as an alternative to mesh based methods and become popular due to several reasons. Primarily, mesh generation is a difficult problem, Also these methods have generated promising results in the accuracy of the simulations. Similar to mesh generation problems, meshless methods also induce challenging geometric problems. Partition...

a meshless method namely, discrete least square method (dlsm), is presented in the paper for the solution of free surface seepage problem. in this method computational domain is discredited by some nodes and then the set of simultaneous equations are built using moving least square (mls) shape functions and least square technique. the proposed method does not need any background mesh therefore ...

We consider adaptive meshless discretisation of the Dirichlet problem for Poisson equation based on numerical differentiation stencils obtained with the help of radial basis functions. New meshless stencil selection and adaptive refinement algorithms are proposed in 2D. Numerical experiments show that the accuracy of the solution is comparable with, and often better than that achieved by the me...

Numerical solutions of the Helmholtz equation suffer from numerical pollution especially for the case of high wavenumbers. The major component of the numerical pollution is, as has been reported in the literature, the dispersion error which is defined as the phase difference between the numerical and the exact wave. The dispersion error for the meshless methods can be a priori determined at an ...
