On the Generalized Finite Element Method in nonlinear solid mechanics analyses

The Generalized Finite Element Method (GFEM) is a numerical method based on the Partition of Unity (PU) concept and inspired on both the Partition of Unity Method (PUM) and the hp-Cloud method. According to the GFEM, the PU is provided by first-degree Lagragian interpolation functions, defined o...
