Element free Galerkin method

Submitted by Arun C O on

I would like to know whether any works have been done in EFGM which suggest the best points in the domain where the stresses have to be computed, like in FEM we do have Gauss points which give minimum error for secondary variables. So can any one please suggest some references in this regard?

These two papers are sort of related in that they deal with best locations for integration points.  I'm not sure if it will directly answer your question, but you may look at these.  They do discuss stress points in the context of integrating meshfree.

I want program thin plate for natural frequencies with EFG with penelty method.I have some questions:

1-Is four gauss point enough for programming?

2-I want to find natural frequencies for Fully free thin plate.(ffff)I think for this boundary conditions i dont need use penalty factor.Is it true?(because we dont have to impose b.c there fore we dont need penalty factor)

3-I can not write program for finding gauss point for 10 gauss point.but i saw a program for 4 gauss point.how can i write program for more than 4 gauss point?

Has any one program for thin plate?(with EFG or other methods)

(excuse me for my writing!)
