      In this article, we present a novel nodal integration scheme for meshfree Galerkin methods, which draws on the mathematical framework of the virtual element method. We adopt linear maximum-entropy basis functions for the ...
    • Ortiz Bernardin, Alejandro; Russo, A.; Sukumar, N. (Wiley, 2017)
      Over the past two decades, meshfree methods have undergone significant development as a numerical tool to solve partial differential equations (PDEs). In contrast to finite elements, the basis functions in meshfree methods ...
    • Montero, Sebastián; Bustamante Plaza, Roger; Ortiz Bernardin, Alejandro (Universidad Politécnica Salesiana de Ecuador, 2018)
      In the present paper the behaviour of a hyperelastic body is studied, considering the presence of one, two and more spherical inclusions, under the effect of an external tension load. The inclusions are modelled as nonlinear ...
