The complex variable boundary element-free method (CVBEFM) is a meshless method that takes the advantages of both boundary integral equations (BIEs) in dimension reduction and the complex variable moving least squares (CVMLS) approximation in element elimination. The CVBEFM is developed in this paper for solving 3D problems. This paper is an attempt in applying complex variable meshless methods to 3D problems. Formulations of the CVMLS approximation on 3D surfaces and the CVBEFM for 3D potential and Helmholtz problems are given. In the current implementation, the CVMLS shape function of 3D problems is formed with 1D basis functions, and the boundary conditions in the CVBEFM can be applied directly and easily. Some numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the method.

The interpolating boundary element-free method (IBEFM) is developed in this paper for boundary-only analysis of unilateral problems which appear in variational inequalities. The IBEFM is a direct boundary only meshless method that combines an improved interpolating moving least-square scheme for constructing interpolation functions with boundary integral equations (BIEs) for representing governing equations. A projection operator is used to formulate the BIEs and then the formulae of the IBEFM are obtained for unilateral problems. The convergence of the developed meshless method is derived mathematically. The capability of the method is also illustrated and assessed through some numerical experiments.

The interpolating boundary element-free method (IBEFM) is a direct solution method of the meshless boundary integral equation method, which has high efficiency and accuracy. The IBEFM is developed based on the interpolating moving least-squares (IMLS) method and the boundary integral equation method. Since the shape function of the IMLS method satisfies the interpolation characteristics, the IBEFM can directly and accurately impose the essential boundary conditions, which overcomes the shortcomings of the original boundary element-free method in enforcing the essential boundary approximately. This paper will study the error estimations of the IBEFM for two-dimensional potential problems and the relationship between the errors and the influence radius and the condition number of the coefficient matrix. Two numerical examples are presented to verify the correctness of the theoretical results in this paper.

This paper presents a boundary element-free computational method for the fracture analysis of 2-D anisotropic bodies. The study starts from a derived traction boundary integral equation (BIE) in which the boundary conditions of both upper and lower crack surfaces are incorporated into and only the Cauchy singular kernal is involved. The boundary element-free method is achieved by combining this new BIE and the moving least-squares (MLS) approximation. The new BIE introduces two new variables: the displace density and The dislocation density. For each crack, the dislocation density is first expressed as the product of the characteristic term and unknown weight function, and the unknown weight function is approximated with the MLS approximation. The stress intensity factors (SIFs) can be calculated from the the weight function. The examples of the straight and circular-arc cracks are computed, and the convergence and efficiency are discussed.
