Abstract: In this study, the Finite Volume Method (FVM) is implemented based on the meshfree interpolation together with the hybrid technique. By “hybrid” we mean that the stress field and the displacement field are interpolated independently. In this way, the process of differentiating shape functions, which is complicated and time-consuming, is not involved. The efficiency is accordingly enhanced significantly with high precision.
