Discussed is here the multipoint meshless finite difference method (MMFDM) following the original Collatz [2] multipoint concept, and the essential ideas of the meshless FDM [3]. The Collatz approach was based on interpolation, regular meshes and the local formulation of b.v. problems. On the other hand in the MFDM we deal with the moving weighted least squares (MWLS) approximation, arbitrarily...

We present a new meshless method for scalar diffusion equations, which is motivated by their compatible discretizations on primal-dial grids. Unlike the latter though, our approach is truly meshless because it only requires the graph of nearby neighbor connectivity of the discretization points xi. This graph defines a local primal-dual grid complex with a virtual dual grid, in the sense that sp...

Theoretical advances toward a purely meshless framework for analysis of the generalized fractal dimension, with applications to turbulence, are considered. The key basic theoretical idea is the formulation of the probability density function of the minimum distance to the nearest part of the flow feature of interest, e.g. a turbulent interface, from any location randomly chosen within a referen...

In this paper, we describe a meshless approach to solve singularly perturbed differentialdifference equations of the second order with boundary layer at one end of the interval. In the numerical treatment for such type of problems, first we approximate the terms containing negative and positive shifts which converts it to a singularly perturbed differential equation. Next, a numerical scheme ba...

Infinitesimal deformations of a homogeneous and isotropic thick elastic plate have been analyzed by using a meshless local Petrov– Galerkin (MLPG) method and a higher-order shear and normal deformable plate theory (HONSDPT). Radial basis functions (RBF) are employed for constructing trial solutions, while a spline function is used as the weight function over a local subdomain. The present metho...

This study modifies and discusses the application of a complete meshless method based on Shepard approximation with an emphasis on the detailed description of this computational technique and its numerical implementations. A new weighting function would be suggested. The global shape function and its derivatives are built based only on the discretisation of the domain in nodes. To deal with the...

|Although numerically very e cient the nite element method exhibits di culties whenever the remeshing of the analysis domain must be performed. For such problems utilizing meshless computation methods is very promising. In this paper, a kind of meshless method called the element-free Galerkin method is introduced for electromagnetic eld computation. The mathematical background for the moving le...

This article presents a summary of the key-note lecture delivered at Biomechanics 10 Conference held in August 2010 in Warsaw. We present selected topics in the area of mathematical and numerical modelling of the brain biomechanics for neurosurgical simulation and brain image registration. These processes can reasonably be described in purely mechanical terms, such as displacements, strains and...

Although, the finite element method numerically is efficient it exhibits difficulties whenever the remeshing of the analysis domain must be performed. For such problems, utilizing meshless computation methods is very promising. But, their large computational cost, which arises from following a time-consuming process to find shape functions, is one of the most important factors limiting the use ...

The finite element method (FEM) has been commonly employed in a variety of fields as a computer simulation method to solve such problems as solid, fluid, electro-magnetic phenomena and so on. However, creation of a quality mesh for the problem domain is a prerequisite when using FEM, which becomes a major part of the cost of a simulation. It is natural that the concept of meshless method has ev...
