Abstract
A meshless local Petrov-Galerkin method (MLPG) using Heaviside step function as a test function for solving the biharmonic equation with subjected to boundary of the second kind is presented in this paper. Nodal shape function is constructed by the radial point interpolation method (RPIM) which holds the Kronecker's delta property. Two-field variables local weak forms are used in order to decompose the biharmonic equation into a couple of Poisson equations as well as impose straightforward boundary of the second kind, and no special treatment techniques are required. Selected engineering numerical examples using conventional nodal arrangement as well as polynomial basis choices are considered to demonstrate the applicability, the easiness, and the accuracy of the proposed method. This robust method gives quite accurate numerical results, implementing by maximum relative error and root mean square relative error. ฉ (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
