Abstract Very recently, Vavourakis, Sellountos and Polyzos (2006) ({CMES: Computer Modeling in Engineering {\&} Sciences, vol. 13, pp. 171--184}) presented a comparison study on the accuracy provided by five different elastostatic Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) type formulations, which are based on Local Boundary Integral Equation (LBIE) considerations. One of the main conclusions addressed in this paper is that the use of derivatives of the Moving Least Squares (MLS) shape functions decreases the solution accuracy of any MLPG(LBIE) formulation. In the present work a new, free of MLS-derivatives and non-singular MLPG(LBIE) method for solving elastic problems is More >
