Throughout the book, topics are integrated with descriptions of computer implementation and an open-source code (with a dedicated chapter for users) to illustrate the connection between the formulations discussed in the text and their real-world implementation and application.

Topics include approximations in meshfree methods, nonlinear meshfree methods, essential boundary condition enforcement, quadrature in meshfree methods, strong form collocation methods, and more. The authors provide detailed descriptions of essential issues in meshfree methods, as well as specific techniques to address them, while discussing a wide range of subjects and use cases. Broad in scope and content, this unique volume provides readers with the knowledge necessary to perform research and solve challenging problems in nearly all fields of science and engineering using meshfree computational techniques. Meshfree and Particle Methods is the first book of its kind to combine comprehensive, up-to-date information on the fundamental theories and applications of meshfree methods with systematic guidance on practical coding implementation. Provides thorough coverage of essential concepts and state-of-the-art developments in the field
