In the present paper, meshfree collocation with fast-moving least-squares reproducing kernel was implemented to write down and execute numerical solutions for some applications in elastostatics and elastodynamics. The spacial discretisation using meshfree collocation method, was carried out on the equilibrium differential equations of elastostatics and elastodynamics and the corresponding boundary conditions. The resulting discrete forms were solved for benchmark problems in the one and two-dimensional cases. In each case, a convergence study was conducted to ascertain the utility and efficacy of the developed solutions. For elastodynamics, the time domain, however, was discretised using the Newmark beta time-integration scheme. The latter combination was implemented to solve suitable benchmark problems in the one-dimensional and twodimensional cases. In each case, a stability study was conducted to demonstrate, again, the method’s efficacy in handling elastodynamic problems.
