A reproducing kernel gradient smoothing meshfree method with least squares stabilization is developed for the nearly incompressible elasticity problems. This meshfree scheme is formulated in the context of the Hellinger-Reissner (HR) variational principle, where the displacement and stress fields are independently approximated and the incompressibility constraint is implicitly embedded in the formulation. It is noteworthy that the total stress field is directly approximated herein, as does not need the conventional tedious decomposition of the stress field into deviatoric stress and pressure components. The variational integration consistency is naturally fulfilled by the reproducing kernel gradient smoothing framework, which ensures the optimal convergence of meshfree solutions. Meanwhile, the least squares stabilization is introduced to suppress the pressure oscillation. A thorough theoretical analysis evinces that the proposed reproducing kernel gradient smoothing meshfree method with least squares stabilization displays the desirable stability through satisfying both Ladyzhenskaya-Babuška-Brezzi (LBB) and kernel-coercivity conditions, which is thus conveniently termed as the stabilized variationally consistent meshfree method. The accuracy and stability of the proposed method for nearly incompressible elasticity problems are systematically validated by numerical results.
