Abstract :
Meshless methods have attracted great attention due to their advantage in geometric representation. In this paper, a meshless element-free Galerkin method is applied for the first time to solve pulsed eddy-current problems. Detailed mathematical derivations and the numerical implementation are discussed. The model is validated against analytic solutions for two canonical cases.
