There are numerous excellent references for finite element methods, and the chapter in this book is by no means a claim for thorough coverage of the FE techniques. The inclusion of the chapter in finite element methods (FEM) also provides a ready reference for comparisons, similarities and differences with meshless methods.
The fundamental formulations of continuum mechanics and the finite element methods are also provided in two separate initial chapters to set the stage for the introduction of meshless methods. It covers various meshless methods methodologies, provides detailed procedures of meshless analysis of various continuum/solid mechanics problems, including elastostatics, elastodynamics, fracture mechanics, non-local phenomena and plasticity with a large number of numerical examples. It is completely thorough in all derivations.
The book reviews and introduces theories, principles, procedures, and formulations that lead to meshless or mesh free methods.
This book is dedicated to the understanding of physical and mathematical characteristics of computational solid mechanics by meshless methods.
