A new formulation of the Element Free Galerkin (EFG) method is developed for the modelling of incompressible materials. Beginning with a mixed variational principle, a selective reduced integration procedure is developed by implementing nodal quadrature. Numerical examples are provided which compare

## Abstract The meshless methods, namely the elementβfree Galerkin method (EFGM), when they first appeared claimed that volumetric __locking__ and __hourglass__ were avoided. This was not the case and both phenomena occur in the EFGM. In the context of the finite element method (FEM) these phenomen
In element free Galerkin method (EFGM), only nodal data are necessary, there is no need to join nodes into elements; in addition, high accuracy can be achieved and postprocess is easy. In this paper, how to deal with point loads in EFGM is suggested and this is followed by related examples.
