The classical radial point interpolation method (RPIM) is a powerful meshfree numerical technique for engineering computation. In the original RPIM, moving support domain quadrature usually employed field function approximation, but local supports of nodal shape functions are always not in alignment with integration cells constructed integration. This misalignment can result additional error an...

This paper formulates an edge-based smoothed point interpolation method (ES-PIM) for solid mechanics using three-node triangular meshes. In the ES-PIM, displacement fields are construed using the point interpolation method (polynomial PIM or radial PIM), and hence the shape functions possess the Kronecker delta property, facilitates the enforcement of Dirichlet boundary conditions. Strains are ...

Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) have been found to be widely successful for the interpolation of scattered data over the last several decades. The numerical solution of nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) plays a prominent role in numerical weather forecasting, and many other areas of physics, engineering, and biology. In this paper, Differential Quadrature (DQ) method- based RBFs are...

In this paper‎, ‎we decide to select the best center nodes‎ ‎of radial basis functions by applying the Multiple Criteria Decision‎ ‎Making (MCDM) techniques‎. ‎Two methods based on radial basis‎ ‎functions to approximate the solution of partial differential‎ ‎equation by using collocation method are applied‎. ‎The first is based‎ ‎on the Kansa's approach‎, ‎and the second is based on the Hermit...

The requirements for interpolation of scattered data are high accuracy and high efficiency. In this paper, a piecewise bivariate Hermite interpolant satisfying these requirements is proposed. We firstly construct a triangulation mesh using the given scattered point set. Based on this mesh, the computational point (x, y) is divided into two types: interior point and exterior point. The value of ...

Symmetric collocation, which can be used to numerically solve linear partial differential equations, is a natural generalization of the well-established scattered data interpolation method known as radial basis function (rbf) interpolation. As with rbf interpolation, a major shortcoming of symmetric collocation is the high cost, in terms of floating point operations, of evaluating the obtained ...

Finding the interpolation function of a given set of nodes is an important problem in scientific computing. In this work a kind of localization is introduced using the radial basis functions which finds a sufficiently smooth solution without consuming large amount of time and computer memory. Some examples will be presented to show the efficiency of the new method. Keywords—Radial basis functio...
