Abstract

3R2. Mesh Free Methods: Moving Beyond the Finite Element Method. - GR Liu (Center for Adv Computations in Eng Sci, Natl Univ of Singapore). CRC Press LLC, Boca Raton FL. 2003. 691 pp. ISBN 0-8493-1238-8. $149.95. Reviewed by D Karamanlidis (Dept of Civil Eng, Univ of Rhode Island, Bliss Hall, Kingston, RI 02881). As anyone who has ever used finite elements over a prolonged period of time knows, the method does have its share of shortcomings. Hence, in the early 1980s commercial software started popping up, which was based on boundary elements—elements, that is, defined only over the boundary of the problem under consideration. Mesh free methods attempt to “move beyond the Finite and Boundary Element Methods”…
