Article Preview

Abstract:

With the compact support of radial point interpolation shape functions (RPIM), the stiffness matrix of system equation can be sparse, so its very suitable for meshless methods.This interpolation method have the Kronecker delta function property, so the essential boundary conditions can be enforced directly and accurately without any additional treatment. In this paper, the radial point interpolation shape function is used, calculate the shape function in different node distribution cases, analyse the compact support and Kronecker delta function,use penalty method to apply the essential boundary conditions. In this paper, the RPIM is applied to solving the deformation in one and two dimensional solids by different loads, the results demonstrated that the meshfree RPIM can effectively solve material mechanics problems.
