A ‘FE-Meshfree’ TRIA3 element based on partition of unity for linear and geometry nonlinear analyses

A new 3-node triangular element is developed on the basis of partition of unity (PU) concept. The formulation employs the parametric shape functions of classical triangular element (TRIA3) to construct the PU and the least square point interpolation method to construct the local displacement approxi...
