This study presents a novel application of mesh-free method using the smoothed-radial basis functions for the computational homogenization analysis of materials. The displacement field corresponding to the scattered nodes within the representative volume element (RVE) is split into two parts including mean term and fluctuation term, and then the fluctuation one is approximated using the integrated radial basis function (iRBF) method.

Salinity intrusion poses significant challenges to coastal regions worldwide. Reliable salinity prediction models can provide valuable information to mitigate the impact and influence of salinity intrusion. However, their accuracy relies mainly on the selected input variables and used optimal models. This study employs the Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) algorithm to evaluate input variable importance and select the most reliable salinity prediction model.
