Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates generally to computer-aided engineering analysis, and more particularly to systems and methods of the smoothed-particle Galerkin formulation for numerically simulating physical behavior in solid mechanics. Background technique
[0002] Meshless or particle methods offer many numerical advantages over traditional finite element and finite difference methods for modeling large deformations and moving discontinuities in solids and structural applications. These methods are also very effective in reducing volume locking and shear locking in solid and structural analyses. The earliest development of the meshless method is the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, SPH) method. In this approach, partial differential equations are transformed into integral equations, followed by kernel estimates that provide approximations to estimate field variables at discrete particles. Since these functions are es...
