“…Meshless methods can be broadly separated into two groups, namely, meshless methods based on strong form such as Kansa's-radial basis function (RBF) and collocation methods (Dehghan and Shokri, 2007;Hu et al, 2005;Jankowska et al, 2018;Kansa, 1990;Hussain and Haq, 2020;Lin et al, 2017;Singh et al, 2019;Xiong et al, 2018), smoothed particle hydrodynamics method (Liu et al, 2004) and finite point collocation method (Onate et al, 1996) and meshless methods based on weak form such as element-free Galerkin method (Belytschko et al, 1994), direct meshless local Petrov-Galerkin method (Ilati and Dehghan, 2017) and local radial point interpolation (MLRPI) method (Shivanian and Jafarabadi, 2018;Shivanian, 2015;Shivanian, 2016). In the methods of first group, by using collocation approach, governing equations and boundary conditions are discretized at the set of scattered nodes to get an algebraic system of equations.…”
