A homogenization analysis of the field theoretic approach to the quasi-continuum method

Submitted by Vikram Gavini on

Dear Colleagues,

I wish to bring to your attention my recent work with Liping Liu on "A homogenization analysis of the field theoretic approach to the quasi-continuum method" to appear in the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids. Below is the abstract and attached is the preprint of the article. I will very much appreciate your comments and suggestions.

RKPM shape functions

Submitted by reja e rabbi on

Hi, 

 I am a graduate student and trying to learn Reproducing  Kernel Particle Methods and trying to code shape function, but I am not 7 able to understand the theory properly . Is there any good reference to understand it ? Besides, It would be a great help if there is any code of shape function in C, C++ or MATLAB Code. Thanks.
