AbstractIn this work, we develop a meshfree method based on fundamental solutions basis functions for a transmission problem in linear elasticity. The problem here addressed, consists in computing the displacement field of an elastic object, which has piecewise constant Lam´e coefficients, from a given displacement field on the boundary. The Lamé coefficients are assumed to be constant in non overlaping subdomains and, on the corresponding interface (interior boundaries), non homogeneous jump conditions on the displacement and on the traction vectors are considered. The main properties of the method are analyzed and illustrated with several numerical simulations in 2D domains
