Mesh-free methods operations can also be complicated and quite costly in terms of computational effort and resources. Developed by the authors and their colleagues, the smoothed finite element method (S-FEM) only requires a triangular/tetrahedral mesh to achieve more accurate results, a generally higher convergence rate in energy without increasing computational cost, and easier auto-meshing of the problem domain. Drawing on the authors extensive research results, Smoothed Finite Element Methods presents the theoretical framework and development of various S-FEM models.\n\nAfter introducing background material, basic equations, and an abstracted version of the FEM, the book discusses the overal.
