Abstract In this paper, a novel numerical method, Zonal Free Element Method (ZFLM), is proposed and used to solve
thermal-mechanical problems composed of multiple and functionally graded materials. ZFLM is a
collocation method, in which two or three lines in 2D or 3D problems, called as line-set, are used at each
node to establish the solution scheme solving engineering problems governed by partial differential
equations. In ZFLM, the Lagrange polynomial is adopted to approximate physical variables varying over each
line of the line-set. The first-order partial derivative is derived by using a directional derivative technique
along arclength of a line, and… More >
