An adaptive isogeometric-meshfree (AIMF) coupling approach is proposed to predict the limit load factors of cracked structures. The concept of the present approach, which relies on forming an equivalence between the isogeometric analysis (IGA) and moving least-squares meshfree method, is developed b...
