Marin, Liviu; Lesnic, Daniel The method of fundamental solutions for nonlinear functionally graded materials. (English) Zbl 1166.80300 Int. J. Solids Struct. 44, No. 21, 6878-6890 (2007). Summary: In this paper, we investigate the application of the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) to two-dimensional steady-state heat conduction problems for both isotropic and anisotropic, single and composite (bi-materials), nonlinear functionally graded materials (FGMs). In the composite case, the interface continuity conditions are approximated in the same manner as the boundary conditions. The method is tested on several examples and its relative merits and disadvantages are discussed.
