In this paper we propose a new approximation technique within the context of meshless methods able to reproduce functions with discontinuous derivatives. This approach involves some concepts of the reproducing kernel particle method (RKPM), which have been extended in order to reproduce functions with discon-tinuous derivatives. This strategy will be referred as Enriched Reproducing Kernel Particle Approximation (E-RKPA). The accuracy of the proposed technique will be compared with standard RKP approximations (which only reproduces polynomials).
