Advances in Meshfree Techniques

Any researchers in the field of meshless methods who want to keep up to date with the latest work in the field will find this an essential text.

In recent years meshless/meshfree methods have gained considerable attention in engineering and applied mathematics.

The variety of problems that are now being addressed by these techniques continues to expand and the quality of the results obtained demonstrates the effectiveness of many of the methods currently available.

This means that engineers in general, applied mathematicians, physicists, and those active in computational mechanics will all find this book a useful reference tool as well.

The book collects extended original contributions presented at the first ECCOMAS Conference on Meshless Methods held in 2005 in Lisbon.

The list of contributors is a mix of highly distinguished authors as well as promising young researchers. This means that the reader gets a varied and contemporary view on different mesh reduction methods and its range of applications.

The material presented is appropriate for researchers, engineers, physicists, applied mathematicians and graduate students interested in this active research area.
