Discretization corrected particle strength exchange (DC PSE) is a particle based spatial differential operator designed to solve meshless continuum mechanics problems. DC PSE is a spatial gradient operator that can discretize a computational domain with randomly distributed particles, provided that each particle has enough neighboring particles. In contrast, conventional methods such as the standard finite difference method require the computational domain to be discretized into a Cartesian grid. In linear elasticity simulations, especially steady state cases, this domain is mostly discretized using mesh-based methods such as finite element. However, while particle methods such as smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) have been widely applied to solve dynamic elasticity problems, they have rarely been used in steady state simulations. In this study, a DC PSE operator was used to solve steady linear elasticity problems in a two-dimensional domain. The result of the DC PSE numerical simulation was compared to numerical results, empirical formula results, and results from conventional commercial finite element software, respectively.
