    An Chen1, *
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.123, No.3, pp. 917-939, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.09224
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Numerical Methods for Differential and Integral Equations)
    Abstract In this paper, two classes of Riesz space fractional partial differential equations including space-fractional and space-time-fractional ones are considered. These two models can be regarded as the generalization of the classical wave equation in two space dimensions. Combining with the Crank-Nicolson method in temporal direction, efficient alternating direction implicit Galerkin finite element methods for solving these two fractional models are developed, respectively. The corresponding stability and convergence analysis of the numerical methods are discussed. Numerical results are provided to verify the theoretical analysis. More >

    Abstract In this study, we present a numerical scheme similar to the Galerkin method in order to obtain numerical solutions of the Bagley Torvik equation of fractional order 3/2. In this approach, the approximate solution is assumed to have the form of a polynomial in the variable t = xα , where α is a positive real parameter of our choice. The problem is firstly expressed in vectoral form via substituting the matrix counterparts of the terms present in the equation. After taking inner product of this vector with nonnegative integer powers of t up to a selected positive parameter N,… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.123, No.3, pp. 957-972, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.08911
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Numerical Methods for Differential and Integral Equations)
    Abstract In this work, a numerical scheme is constructed for solving nonlinear parabolictype partial-integro differential equations. The proposed numerical scheme is based on radial basis functions which are local in nature like finite difference numerical schemes. The radial basis functions are used to approximate the derivatives involved and the integral is approximated by equal width integration rule. The resultant differentiation matrices are sparse in nature. After spatial approximation using RBF the partial integro-differential equations reduce to the system of ODEs. Then ODEs system can be solved by various types of ODE solvers. The proposed numerical scheme is tested and compared with… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.123, No.3, pp. 973-993, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.09329
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Numerical Methods for Differential and Integral Equations)
    Abstract In this article, we approximate the solution of high order linear Fredholm integro-differential equations with a variable coefficient under the initial-boundary conditions by Bell polynomials. Using collocation points and treating the solution as a linear combination of Bell polynomials, the problem is reduced to linear system of equations whose unknown variables are Bell coefficients. The solution to this algebraic system determines the approximate solution. Error estimation of approximate solution is done. Some examples are provided to illustrate the performance of the method. The numerical results are compared with the collocation method based on Legendre polynomials and the other two methods… More >

    Tao Li1, Qingsheng Yang1, *, Lianhua Ma2, Xiaojun Zhang2, *
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.123, No.3, pp. 995-1014, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.09152
    Abstract Phase transition of hydrogel, which is polymerized by polymer network, can be regarded as the transition of polymer network stability. The stability of the polymer network might be changed when the external environment changed. This change will lead to the transformation of sensitive hydrogels stability, thus phase transition of hydrogel take place. Here, we present a new free density energy function, which considers the non-gaussianity of the polymer network, chains entanglement and functionality of junctions through adding Gent hyplastic model and Edwards-Vilgis slip-link model to Flory-Huggins theory. A program to calculate the phase transition temperature was written based on new… More >

    Yang Yang1,*, Jing Dong1, Chao Fang2, Ping Xie3, Na An3
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.123, No.3, pp. 1015-1031, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.09404
    Abstract The development of cloud computing and virtualization technology has brought great challenges to the reliability of data center services. Data centers typically contain a large number of compute and storage nodes which may fail and affect the quality of service. Failure prediction is an important means of ensuring service availability. Predicting node failure in cloud-based data centers is challenging because the failure symptoms reflected have complex characteristics, and the distribution imbalance between the failure sample and the normal sample is widespread, resulting in inaccurate failure prediction. Targeting these challenges, this paper proposes a novel failure prediction method FP-STE (Failure Prediction… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.123, No.3, pp. 1033-1059, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.09920
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Recent Developments of Isogeometric Analysis and its Applications in Structural Optimization)
    Abstract In this paper, a new isogeometric topology optimization (ITO) method is proposed by using T-splines based isogeometric analysis (IGA). The arbitrarily shaped design domains, directly obtained from CAD, are represented by a single T-spline surface which overcomes the topological limitations of Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS). The coefficients correlated with control points are directly used as design variables. Therefore, the T-spline basis functions applied for geometry description and calculation of structural response are simultaneously introduced to represent the density distribution. Several numerical examples show that the proposed approach leads to a coherent workflow to handle design problems of complicated structures. The… More >

    Abstract Concrete is intrinsically endowed with randomness on meso-scale due to the random distribution of aggregates, mortar, etc. In this paper, two random medium models of concrete mesostructure are developed and comparative studies are provided based on random field representation approach. In the first place, concrete is considered as a kind of one-phase random field, where stochastic harmonic function is adopted as the approach to simulate the random field. Secondly, in order to represent the stochastic distribution of the multi-phase of concrete such as aggregates and mortar, two-phase random field based on the Nataf transformation and the Hermite polynomials are introduced.… More >

    Abstract The numerical simulation for a new type of precast concrete barrier for viaducts is carried out systematically. To obtain an accurate representation of the damage state of the concrete barrier under the impact of a vehicle, a stochastic damage-plasticity model of the concrete is adopted in the finite element model.

    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Data Science and Modeling in Biology, Health, and Medicine)
    Abstract For structural comparisons of paired prokaryotic genomes, an important topic in synthetic and evolutionary biology, the locations of shared orthologous genes (henceforth orthologs) are observed as binned data. This and other data, e.g., wind directions recorded at monitoring sites and intensive care unit arrival times on the 24-hour clock, are counted in binned circular arcs, thus modeling them by discrete circular distributions (DCDs) is required. We propose a novel method to construct a DCD from a base continuous circular distribution (CCD). The probability mass function is defined to take the normalized values of the probability density function at some pre-fixed… More >

    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Novel Methods for Reliability Evaluation and Optimization of Complex Mechanical Structures)
    Abstract In the Prognostics and Health Management (PHM), remaining useful life (RUL) is very important and utilized to ensure the reliability and safety of the operation of complex mechanical systems. Recently, unscented Kalman filtering (UKF) has been applied widely in the RUL estimation. For a degradation system, the relationship between its monitored measurements and its degradation states is assumed to be nonlinear in the conventional UKF. However, in some special degradation systems, their monitored measurements have a linear relation with their degradation states. For these special problems, it may bring estimation errors to use the UKF method directly. Besides, many uncertain… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.123, No.3, pp. 1175-1192, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.010092
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Security Enhancement of Image Recognition System in IoT based Smart Cities)
    Abstract The images capture in a bad environment usually loses its fidelity and contrast. As the light rays travel towards its destination they get scattered several times due to the tiny particles of fog and pollutants in the environment, therefore the energy gets lost due to multiple scattering till it arrives its destination, and this degrades the images. So the images taken in bad weather appear in bad quality. Therefore, single image haze removal is quite a bit tough task. Significant research has been done in the haze removal algorithm but in all the techniques, the coefficient of scattering is taken… More >

    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Advances in Modeling and Simulation of Complex Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow)
    Abstract In micro-manufacturing, roughness is unavoidable due to the tolerance of micro-machining methods. Roughness in microchannel could have a significant influence on flow and heat transfer since the size of microchannel is very small. In our work, roughness is modeled as a superposition of waves. A simple Fourier series method is proposed to construct the rough surface. With this method, roughness is constructed on the bottom of the rectangular microchannel which has a hydraulic diameter of 0.5 mm. Two important parameters during roughness construction, triangulate size and correlation length are studied under the same relative roughness 1%. Results show that flow… More >

    Abstract Structure of porous media and fluid distribution in rocks can significantly affect the transport characteristics during the process of microscale tracer flow. To clarify the effect of micro heterogeneity on aqueous tracer transport, this paper demonstrates microscopic experiments at pore level and proposes an improved mathematical model for tracer transport. The visualization results show a faster tracer movement into movable water than it into bound water, and quicker occupancy in flowing pores than in storage pores caused by the difference of tracer velocity. Moreover, the proposed mathematical model includes the effects of bound water and flowing porosity by applying interstitial… More >

    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Advances in Modeling and Simulation of Complex Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow)
    Abstract CO2 flooding has been widely studied and applied to improve oil recovery from low permeability reservoirs. Both the experimental results and the oilfield production data indicate that produced oil components (POC) will vary during CO2 flooding in low permeability reservoirs. However, the present researches fail to explain the variation reason and rule. In this study, the physical model of the POC variation during CO2 flooding in low permeability reservoir was established, and the variation reason and rule were defined. To verify the correctness of the physical model, the interaction rule of the oil-CO2 system was studied by related experiments. The… More >

    Abstract The crack is a common pavement failure problem. A lack of periodic maintenance will result in extending the cracks and damage the pavement, which will affect the normal use of the road. Therefore, it is significant to establish an efficient intelligent identification model for pavement cracks. The neural network is a method of simulating animal nervous systems using gradient descent to predict results by learning a weight matrix. It has been widely used in geotechnical engineering, computer vision, medicine, and other fields. However, there are three major problems in the application of neural networks to crack identification. There are too… More >
