<br/><br/> Understand How to Use and Develop Meshfree Techniques<br/>An Update of a Groundbreaking Work<br/><br/>Reflecting the significant advances made in the field since the publication of its predecessor, Meshfree Methods: Moving Beyond the Finite Element Method, Second Edition systematically covers the most widely used meshfree methods. With 70% new material, this edition addresses important new developments, especially on essential theoretical issues.<br/><br/>New to the Second Edition<br/><br/>Much more details on fundamental concepts and important theories for numerical methods<br/>Discussions on special properties of meshfree methods, including stability, convergence, accurate, efficiency, and bound property<br/>More detailed discussion on error estimation and adaptive analysis using meshfree methods<br/>Developments on combined meshfree/finite element method (FEM) models<br/>Comparison studies using meshfree and FEM<br/>Drawing on the author’s own research, this book provides a single-source guide to meshfree techniques and theories that can effectively handle a variety of complex engineering problems. It analyzes how the methods work, explains how to use and develop the methods, and explores the problems associated with meshfree methods.
