TI - Large Deformation Analysis with Galerkin based Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics T2 - Computer Modeling in Engineering \& Sciences PY - 2008 VL - 36 IS - 2 SN - 1526-1506 AB - In this paper, we propose a Galerkin-based smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) formulation with moving least-squares meshless approximation, applied to solid mechanics and large deformation. Our method is truly meshless and based on Lagrangian kernel formulation and stabilized nodal integration. The performance of the methodology proposed is tested through various simulations, demonstrating the attractive ability of particle methods to handle severe distortions and complex phenomena.
