In this paper, a numerical technique is presented for the solution of a parabolic partial differential equation with a time-dependent coefficient subject to an extra measurement. For solving the discussed inverse problem, at first we transform it into a nonlinear direct problem and then use the proposed method. This method is a combination of collocation method and radial basis functions. The r...

This paper is concerned with the boundary particle method (BPM), a new boundary-only radial basis function collocation schemes. The method is developed based on the multiple reciprocity principle and applying either high-order nonsingular general solutions or singular fundamental solutions as the radial basis function. Like the multiple reciprocity BEM (MR-BEM), the BPM does not require any inn...

The boundary knot method (BKM) is a recent meshfree boundary-type radial basis function (RBF) collocation technique. Compared with the method of fundamental solution, the BKM uses the nonsingular general solution instead of the singular fundamental solution to evaluate the homogeneous solution, while as such the dual reciprocity method (DRM) is still employed to approximate the particular solut...

Abstract. Interests in meshfree (or meshless) methods have grown rapidly in the recent years in solving boundary value problems arising in mechanics, especially in dealing with difficult problems involving large deformation, moving discontinuities, etc. Rigorous error estimates of a meshfree method, the reproducing kernel particle method (RKPM), have been theoretically derived and experimentall...

This paper formulates a simple explicit local version of the classical meshless radial basis function collocation (Kansa) method. The formulation copes with the diffusion equation, applicable in the solution of a broad spectrum of scientific and engineering problems. The method is structured on multiquadrics radial basis functions. Instead of global, the collocation is made locally over a set o...

We use the global collocation method, the first and the third-order shear deformation plate theories, the Mori–Tanaka technique to homogenize material properties, and approximate the trial solution with multiquadric radial basis functions to analyze free vibrations of functionally graded plates. Frequencies computed by the present method are found to agree well with those from the analytical so...

This paper examines the numerical solution of the nonlinear coupled Burger’s equations with various values of viscosity by local meshless methods. The local radial basis functions collocation method (LRBFCM) belongs to the class of truly meshless methods which do not need any underlying mesh but work on a set of uniform or random nodes only, without any a priori node to node connectivity. The n...

In this paper, a meshfree weighted radial basis collocation method associated with the Newton’s iteration is introduced to solve nonlinear inverse Helmholtz problems for identifying parameter. All measurement data can be included in least-squares solution, which avoid calculations comparing solutions part of Galerkin-based methods. Appropriate weights are imposed on boundary conditions and bala...
