Numerical simulation based on FEM/MLS coupling for solid mechanics
Abstract
This paper presents the development of Meshless Methods based on the weighted least squares approximation (MLS) [1,3,14] to solve 2D mechanical problems. A particular construction support of weight functions involved in the construction of the MLS shape functions is elaborated. We propose a numerical simulation based on the coupling between the FEM and the MLS method. A Huerta et al. formulation is used to build the MLS shape function in the transition area FEM/MLS.
