A Hybrid RBF Collocation Method and Its Application in the Elastostatic Symmetric Problems
Open Access
Abstract
In this paper, a new hybrid radial basis function collocation method (HRBF-CM) is proposed to help resolve two-dimensional elastostatic symmetric problems. In the new approach, the hybrid radial basis function (HRBF) combines the infinitely smooth RBF and piecewise smooth RBF, containing two parameters (the shape parameter and the weight parameter). Discretization schemes are presented in detail. We use MATLAB to implement the HRBF-CM and produce numerical results which demonstrate the potential of this method. The new method’s accuracy is higher than that of the traditional methods, especially in the case of a more significant number of nodes. We discuss the new method’s effectiveness compared to the widely used traditional RBF and also investigate the effect of parameters on the method’s performance under the new method.Keywords
