Abstract
A solution procedure for lower bound limit analysis is presented making use of the element free Galerkin (EFG) method rather than of the traditional numerical methods such as finite element method and boundary element method. A reduced basis technique is adopted to solve the mathematical programming iteratively in a sequence of reduced self-equilibrium stress subspaces with very low dimensions. Numerical example in this paper shows that it is feasible and efficient to solve the problems of limit analysis by using the EFG method.Cite This Article
