The radial basis reproducing kernel particle method for geometrically nonlinear problem of functionally graded materials

In this paper, the radial basis function (RBF) is introduced into the reproducing kernel particle method (RKPM), and the radial basis reproducing kernel particle method (RRKPM) is proposed for solving geometrically nonlinear problem of functionally graded materials (FGM). Compared with the RKPM, the advantages of the proposed method are that it can eliminate the negative effect of different kernel functions on the computational accuracy, and has...
