The emphases of this survey are placed on simulations of finite deformations, fracture, strain localization of solids incompressible as well as compressible flows and applications of multiscale methods and nano-scale mechanics. Third, some applications of molecular dynamics (MD) in applied mechanics are discussed. Second, mesh-free Galerkin methods, which have been an active research area in recent years, are reviewed. First, smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is discussed as a representative of a non-local kernel, strong form collocation approach. Three major methodologies have been reviewed.
