Abstract

Based on the complex variable moving least-squares (CVMLS) approximation and element-free Galerkin (EFG) method, the complex variable element-free Galerkin (CVEFG) method for two-dimensional elasto-plasticity problems is presented in this paper. The CVMLS approximation is an approximation method for a vector function. Under the same node distribution the meshless method based on the CVMLS approximation has higher precision than the one based on the moving least-squares (MLS) approximation. For two-dimensional elasto-plasticity problems, the Galerkin weak form is employed to obtain the equations system, and the penalty method is used to apply the essential boundary conditions, then the corresponding formulae of the CVEFG method for two-dimensional elasto-plasticity problems are obtained. Compared with the EFG method, the CVEFG method can obtain greater precision. For the purposes of demonstration, some selected numerical examples are solved using the CVEFG method.
