Zusatztext Praise for the First Edition:"This book addresses some of the current important issues! both positive and negative! related to mesh free methods! which should prove beneficial to researchers! engineers! and students who are interested in venturing into this area of research. ? This is the first book published that comprehensively covers mesh free methods."-Zentralblatt MATH! Vol. 1031 (2004/06) Informationen zum Autor G.R. Liu is the director of the Centre for Advanced Computations in Engineering Science (ACES) and professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the National University of Singapore. Klappentext Understand How to Use and Develop Meshfree TechniquesAn Update of a Groundbreaking WorkReflecting the significant advances made in the field since the publication of its predecessor, Meshfree Methods: Moving Beyond the Finite Element Method, Second Edition systematically covers the most widely used meshfree methods. With 70% new material, this edition addresses important new developments, especially on essential theoretical issues.New to the Second EditionMuch more details on fundamental concepts and important theories for numerical methodsDiscussions on special properties of meshfree methods, including stability, convergence, accurate, efficiency, and bound propertyMore detailed discussion on error estimation and adaptive analysis using meshfree methodsDevelopments on combined meshfree/finite element method (FEM) modelsComparison studies using meshfree and FEMDrawing on the author's own research, this book provides a single-source guide to meshfree techniques and theories that can effectively handle a variety of complex engineering problems. It analyzes how the methods work, explains how to use and develop the methods, and explores the problems associated with meshfree methods.To access MFree2D (copyright, G. R.
