Abstract
In this paper, the interpolating moving least-squares (IMLS) method based on a nonsingular weight function is applied to obtain the approximation function. The penalty method is applied to impose the displacement boundary condition, and Galerkin weak form of elastic large deformation problems based on total Lagrange formulation is used to form the final equations which is solved with the Newton–Raphson iteration method, then the improved element-free Galerkin (IEFG) method based on a nonsingular weight function for elastic large deformation problems is presented. The IMLS method can overcome the disadvantage of singular weight functions in the traditional MLS method, then the IEFG method in this paper has high computational accuracy and efficiency, which are shown by numerical examples of elastic large deformation problems. And the influences of the weight functions, scale parameter of influence domain, step number and penalty factor on the numerical results are discussed.
