Abstract
This work presents a theoretical formalism and the corresponding numerical techniques to obtain the approximation of fractional-order operators over a 1D domain via the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The method is presented for both constant- and variable-order operators, in either integral or differential forms. Several numerical examples are presented in order to validate the theory against analytical results and to evaluate the performance of the methodology. This formalism paves the way for the solution of fractional-order continuum mechanics models via the SPH method.
