DRM—MFS for two-dimensional finite elasticity

This paper presents a meshless method for the solution of problems in finite elasticity. The method is based on coupling the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) with dual reciprocity method (DRM). The solution is obtained by adding the homogeneous solution generated by MFS to the particular solution obtained by the radial basis function employed in DRM. The procedure has the advantage of eliminating domain integration. The proposed method is tested through two numerical examples that confirm its efficiency and accuracy.
