Abstract In this study, a truly meshless method based on the meshless local Petrov-Galerkin method is formulated for analysis of the elastic-plastic behavior of heterogeneous solid materials. The incremental theory of plasticity is employed for modeling the nonlinearity of the material behavior due to plastic strains. The well-known Prandtl-Reuss flow rule of plasticity is used as the constitutive equation of the material. In the presented method, the computational cost is reduced due to elimination of the domain integration from the formulation. As a practical example, the presented elastic-plastic meshless formulation is employed for micromechanical analysis of More >
