The Element-Free Galerkin (EFG) method allows one to use a nodal data structure (usually with an underlying cell structure) within the domain of a body of arbitrary shape. The usual EFG combines Moving Least-Squares (MLS) interpolants with a variational principle (weak form) and has been used to sol

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper, we investigate the application of the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS) to two classes of axisymmetric potential problems. In the ΓΏrst, the boundary conditions as well as the domain of the problem, are axisymmetric, and in the second, the boundary conditions are arbitrary. In both cases, the fundamental solutions of the governing equations and their normal derivatives, which are required in the formulation of the MFS, can be expressed in terms of complete elliptic integrals. The method is tested on several axisymmetric problems from the literature and is also applied to an axisymmetric free boundary problem.

The Laplace transform is applied to remove the time-dependent variable in the di usion equation. For nonharmonic initial conditions this gives rise to a non-homogeneous modiΓΏed Helmholtz equation which we solve by the method of fundamental solutions. To do this a particular solution must be obtained
In this paper, we investigate the application of the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS) to twodimensional problems of steady-state heat conduction in isotropic and anisotropic bimaterials. Two approaches are used: a domain decomposition technique and a single-domain approach in which modiΓΏed fund
