The implementation of the element free Galerkin method (EFG) for spatial thin shell structures is presented in this paper. Both static deformation and free vibration analyses are considered. The formulation of the discrete system equations starts from the governing equations of stress resultant geom

The element free analyses of shell and spatial structures are conducted. The original element free Galerkin method proposed by Belytschko et al. is enhanced to analyse three-dimensional thin structures. By using the mapping technique the geometry of arbitrary curved surface is expanded in the two-di
A simple, effective finite element incremental formulation and procedure for geometrically nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of a shell structure with finite rotations are presented, based on both the total Lagrangian and updated Lagrangian description of motion. The co-rotation formulation is u
A technique for modelling of arbitrary three-dimensional dynamically propagating cracks in elastic bodies by the Element-Free Galerkin (EFG) method with explicit time integration is described. The meshless character of this approach expedites the description of the evolving discrete model; in contra
