A strong form-based isogeometric-meshfree moving least-squares collocation (IMMLS-C) approach is developed for two-dimensional linear elastic fracture problems with contact loading. The IMMLS-C approach uses reproducing conditions to establish an equivalence between MLS shape functions and isogeom...
