Abstract

In this paper, solving antiplane piezoelectricity problems with multiple inclusions are attended by using the regularized meshless method (RMM). This is made possible that the troublesome singularity in the MFS disappears by employing the subtracting and adding-back techniques. The governing equations for linearly electro-elastic medium are reduced to two uncoupled Laplace's equations. The representations of two solutions of the two uncoupled system are obtained by using the RMM. By matching interface conditions, the linear algebraic system is obtained. Finally, typical numerical examples are presented and discussed to demonstrate the accuracy of the solutions.
