Drawing on the authors' extensive research results, this book presents the theoretical
framework and development of various S-FEM models. It discusses the overall modeling …

Particle finite element method (PFEM) is an effective numerical tool for solving large-
deformation problems in geomechanics. By incorporating the node integration technique …

Based on the widely used finite element method (FEM) and the latest Meshfree methods, a
next generation of numerical method called Smoothed Point Interpolation Method (S-PIM) …

In this study, a stabilized smoothed particle finite element method (SPFEM) for modeling
nonlinear, large deformation dynamic problems in geomechanics is presented. The …

Abstract The Smoothed Particle Finite Element Method (SPFEM) is a powerful numerical tool
for the modelling of large deformation problems in the field of geomechanics. However, the …

This thesis herein proposes a stochastic stable node-based smoothed finite element method
for uncertainty and reliability analysis of thermo-mechanical problems. First, the deterministic …

It is well-known that the classical “overly-soft” node-based smoothed finite element method
(NS-FEM) fails to provide reliable results to the Helmholtz equation due to the “temporal …

In order to cure the instability of NS-FEM and further improve the accuracy, a stable node-
based smoothed finite element method (SNS-FEM) is formulated for steady and transient …

An improved version of the node-based smoothed point interpolation methods (NSPIMs) is
proposed for coupled hydro-mechanical problems of geotechnical engineering. In the …

It is well-known that the standard finite element method (FEM) has the disadvantage of
'overly-stiff'and could not offer reliable enough solutions. We proposed a novel stabilized …
