The formulation and computer implementation of element-free Galerkin method for Euler-Bernoulli beam theory /

Element-free Galerkin (EFG) method is used to solve second and fourth-order one-dimesional problems. Moving least square (MLS) approximation is used to generate shape functions for the EFG model. MLS method is discussed in detail along with its key components: a polynomial basis, a set of coefficie...
