Özet:

Meshfree methods have become strong alternatives to conventional numerical methods used in solid mechanics after significant progress in recent years. Radial point interpolation method (RPIM) is a meshfree method based on Galerkin formulation and constructs shape functions which enable easy imposition of essential boundary conditions. This thesis analyses plane elasticity problems using RPIM. A computer code implementing RPIM for the solution of plane elasticity problems is developed. Selected problems are solved and the effect of shape parameters on the accuracy of RPIM with and without polynomial terms added in the interpolation is studied. The optimal shape parameters are determined for plane elasticity problems.
