Abstract The Fragile Points Method (FPM) is a discontinuous meshless method based on the Galerkin weak form [1].
In the FPM, the problem domain is discretized by spatial points and subdomains, and the displacement trial
function of each subdomain is derived based on the points within the support domain. For this reason, the
FPM doesn’t suffer from the mesh distortion and is suitable to model complex structural deformations.
Furthermore, similar to the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method, the displacement trial functions
used in the FPM is piece-wise continuous, and the numerical flux is introduced across each… More >
