Introduction To Meshfree Methods

This document summarizes Sai Govind V S's semester research on meshfree methods. Meshfree methods can simulate large deformations, failures, and smooth fluid-solid interactions better than traditional FEA. Sai studied surface modeling using radial basis functions and kernels for tsunami analysis. He learned basics of numerical modeling, curve fitting exercises, representing phenomena with PDEs, and converting between strong and weak forms. Key references included works by Wright, Liu and Gu, and Reddy. Future plans include strengthening foundations in FEM and reviewing literature to select a research problem.

What Meshfree Methods can do better over
Traditional FEA?
• Large scale deformation
• Simulation even after failure of elements
• Smoother Liquid – Solid Interactions
Deformation.mp4 Pumkin.mp4Wave.mp4
Surface Modelling for Tsunami Analysis
Continuous Surface that Interpolate Given Set
of Data
Using Radial Kernals
Using Kernals for Surface Modelling
Numerical Modelling & Simulation
• To study a given problem, in one of its simplified versions, without physically
performing the study
• Simplification is done in order to easily relate with the available theoretical
concepts (or create new theory), mathematically
• Computer coding and running on a suitable computer
• Observe the required results (if needed, play with simplifications until the
results are acceptable
• Key stages – Modelling -> Validation -> Prediction
Numerical Modelling Methods
• 1. Grid based Methods
• Finite Element Method (FEM)
• Finite Volume Method (FVM)
• Finite Difference Method (FDM)
• 2. MeshFree Methods
Different Types of Meshfree Methods
• Smoother Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) – 1997
• Diffuse Element Method (DEM) – 1992
• Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) – 1992
• Element Free Galerkin Method (EFGM) – 1994
• Reproducing Kernel Particle Method (RKPM) – 1995
• Finite Pointset Method (FPM) – 1998
• And many more……..
What I have Done in this Semester
Learning Basics
