Abstract Transient heat conduction problems can be dealt with using different numerical approaches. In some recent papers, a strategy to tackle these problems using a frequency domain formulation has been presented and successfully applied associated to methods such as the BEM. Here a formulation of the meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) is developed and presented to allow the analysis of such problems. The proposed formulation makes use of the RBF-based version of the MLPG and employs the Heaviside step function as the test function, leading to the so-called MLPG(5). In addition, the method is associated with a visibility criterion to allow the… More >
