This paper on "New Degrees of Freedom in Computational Mechanics: Mesh Free Finite Point Method, Rotation Free Shell Triangles and Moving Free Meshes" was presented at the NAFEMS World Congress on Effective Engineering Analysis - 25-28 April 1999, Newport, Rhode Island, USA.
The paper presents an overview of some recent developments in computational mechanics introducing new degrees of “freedom” allowing the solution of more challenging problems. First advances in the finite point method for fully mesh free solution in fluid and solid mechanics are described. Next, new rotation free shell triangles incorporating membrane and bending effects are presented. Finally a simple method allowing free movement of meshes is described. Examples of application of all the “free” methods are given.
