In this paper a new coupling method to merge the Reproducing Kernel Particle Method (RKPM) and the Boundary Element Method (BEM) is proposed. In this formulation, the whole problem domain will first be divided into two subdomains in which the RKPM and the BEM are applied respectively. A simple an...
