The meshless local Petro-Galerkin method was applied to the calculation of two-dimensional
elasticity mechanics problems by choosing properweight functions and basis functions. With the method, all
integrals can be easily fulfilled on regular sub-domain boundaries, and to impose the essential boundary
conditions, a penalty parameter can be used so that a positive definite and symmetric stiffnessmatrixmay be
obtained. The comparison of its calculated resultwith that obtained using the ANSYS finite element method
shows that the meshless method has the advantages such as high calculation accuracy, good stability and
strong adaptability.
