The smoothed finite element methods (S-FEM) are a family of methods formulated through
carefully designed combinations of the standard FEM and some of the techniques from the …

In ocean engineering, the applications are usually related to a free surface which brings so
many interesting physical phenomena (eg water waves, impacts, splashing jets, etc.). To …

This review paper presents a methodological study on possible and existing meshfree
methods for solving the partial differential equations (PDEs) governing solid mechanics …

Smoothed finite element method (S-FEM) has attracted lots of attentions in the fields of
computational mechanics, especially in solid mechanics and heat transfer problems. In …

This paper presents a review of recent progress made towards the applications of the
meshfree particle methods (MPMs) for solving coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) …

Fluid–structure interaction simulations can be performed in a partitioned way, by coupling a
flow solver with a structural solver. However, Gauss–Seidel iterations between these solvers …

Abstract Phase Field Method (PFM) has remarkable performance in simulating crack
patterns with complex topology and the edge-based smoothed finite element method (ES …

Ring stiffened cylindrical shells find wide applications in marine vehicles such as
submersibles, submarine, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) and torpedoes. The …

The smoothed finite element method (S-FEM) was originated by GR Liu by combining some
meshfree techniques with the well-established standard finite element method (FEM). It has …

As is well-known to all, the conventional finite element method (FEM) is constrained by the
“numerical dispersion error” issue for solving acoustic problems at high frequencies. In this …
