Abstract

In the study, a method is proposed and developed for solid analysis that is a hybrid of the radial basis function and the finite element method (RBF-FEM). Based on the finite nodes, the method employs the radial basis functions to produce the shape functions with simplicity, especially when increasing the element node number. The formulation and applications of the method in the analysis of solids are examined. Several numerical examples are carried out to analyze the convergence, accuracy, and computational time cost. Its comeouts are then compared with that by the finite element method. The study also shows the factors that affect the accuracy of the method, such as the radial basis function types, radial basis function shape parameter, node number, and node position in an element. It is shown that the method quickly produces better results with large-node-number elements (seven and eight nodes) in comparison to the conventional numerical method. Discussion on the method and the extensibility of the approach are addressed in the conclusion.
