Abstract
Locking in finite elements has been a major concern since its early developments. It appears because poor numerical interpolation leads to an over-constrained system. This paper proposes a new formulation that asymptotically suppresses locking for the Element Free Galerkin (EFG) [...]
Abstract
Incompressible modelling in finite elements has been a major concern since its early developments and has been extensively studied. However, incompressibility in mesh-free method is still an open topic. Thus, instabilities or locking can preclude the use of mesh-free approximations [...]
