AB  - In this paper, the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method for two-dimensional (2-d), linear and transient coupled thermoelastic analysis in orthotropic solids is presented. To eliminate the time-dependence in the governing equations, the Laplace-transform technique is used. Local integral equations are derived for small circular sub-domains which surround nodal points distributed over the analyzed domain. As for the spatial variations of the displacements and temperature, they are approximated by the Moving Least-Squares (MLS) scheme.
