In this paper, attempt is made to solve a few problems using the Polynomial
Point Collocation Method (PPCM), the Radial Point Collocation Method (RPCM),
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), and the Finite Point Method (FPM). A few
observations on the accuracy of these methods are recorded. All the simulations
in this paper are three dimensional linear elastostatic simulations, without
accounting for body forces.Comment: preprint (draft) + 3 figures, 1 table, 2 appendices, 2 images, 1
