Abstract

This paper studies the dispersion characteristic and stable time step of the meshfree method in explicit dynamic problems using the generalized meshfree (GMF) approximation. In the dispersion analysis, the von Neumann method is applied to analyze the numerical dispersion errors for the spatial semi-discretization of a partial differential equation (PDE) in meshfree method using various approximations. The study emphasizes on the influence from the Kronecker-delta property in the approximation that is constructed using the GMF approximation and the full transformation method. In the stable time step analysis, we derive the analytical value of the critical time step based on the eigenvalue analysis. In addition, special attention is paid on the study of the boundary condition effect in suggesting a stable time step used for the practical analysis. Three full-discretization examples are presented to verify the study in the semi-discretization analysis.
