An adaptive isogeometric analysis meshfree collocation method for elasticity and frictional contact problems

Summary A collocation method has been recently developed as a powerful alternative to Galerkin's method in the context of isogeometric analysis, characterized by significantly reduced computational cost, but still guaranteeing higher‐order convergence rates. In this work, we propose a novel adaptive isogeometric analysis meshfree collocation (IGAM‐C) for the two‐dimensional (2D) elasticity and frictional contact problems. The concept of the...
