Schmidt}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Meshless Finite Element Methods, namely element-free Galerkin and point-interpolation method were implemented and tested concerning their applicability to typical engineering problems like electrical fields and structural mechanics. A class-structure was developed which allows a consistent implementation of these methods together with classical FEM in a common framework. Strengths and weaknesses of the methods under investigation are discussed. As a result of this work joint usage of meshless methods together with classical Finite Elements are recommended. }, journal = {International Journal of Physical and Mathematical Sciences}, volume = {1}, number = {5}, year = {2007}, pages = {233 - 237}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/1495}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/5}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 5, 2007}, }
