The Application of Mesh-Free Method in the Numerical Simulation of Beams with the Size Effect

The mesh-free method is employed to implement the numerical simulation of the bending behavior of beams with the size effect. On the basis of the classical Bernoulli-Euler beam theory, two higher-order strain components are involved in the beam model. The intrinsic bulk length and the directional su...
