Abstract The meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method for transient linear thermoelastic analysis is presented. Orthotropic material properties are considered here. In uncoupled thermoelasticity, the temperature field is not influenced by displacements. Therefore, in the first step, the heat conduction equation is solved for the temperature distribution in the domain. The equations of motion are then solved with the inertial term considered. A Heaviside step function as the test functions is applied in the weak-form to derive local integral equations for solving two- and three-dimensional problems. Local integral equations are written on small sub-domains with circular or spherical shapes. They surround nodal… More >
