Meshfree Particle Methods

From the reviews of the first edition:

"The book presents a comprehensive exposition of meshfree methods with applications to engineering problems … . the objectives of the book are to be a pedagogical tool for novices, serving as a (graduate) textbook and to be a comprehensive source for researchers, providing a state-of-the-art technical documentation on meshfree particle methods. The long list of 475 references to relevant publications and the detailed program listing of an exemplary meshfree algorithm underline this goal." (Michael Junk, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1073, 2005)
