Non-linear Meshfree formulation of anchored reinforcing bar with bond slip effect

This study focuses on the formulation of non-linear material behaviour of an anchored reinforcing bar (ARB) using the Meshfree method. Polynomial and Radial Point Interpolation methods are the two Meshfree methods used to analyse the ARB with longitudinal slip. The main objective of this study is to...
