Abstract

Using the interpolating moving least-squares (IMLS) method to form the shape function, a novel improved element-free Galerkin (IEFG) method is presented for solving nonlinear elastic large deformation problems. To obtain the formulae of the IEFG method for elastic large deformation problems, we use the Galerkin weak form to obtain the discretized system equation, and use the penalty method to apply the displacement boundary conditions. Some selected numerical examples of two-dimensional elastic large deformation problems are given, and the numerical results are analyzed. From the examples, it is shown that the IEFG method in this paper has higher computational precision than the element-free Galerkin (EFG) method presented before.
