    Isogeometric Analysis and Shape Optimization of Holed Structures via the Patch Removing Technique

    Daoyuan Yu, Shouyu Cai*, Wenya Fan, Lan Zhang*
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.124, No.3, pp. 787-806, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.09936

    Abstract In this study, a patch removing based Isogeometric analysis (PR-IGA) method is proposed to conduct the holed structural analysis with only one parametric domain, in which there are also no trimmed elements. The theoretical foundation of this novel patch removing approach is that any holed structure can be obtained by removing sub-patches (i.e., the holes) from an intact base patch. Since the parametric domains of these patches are all meshed by rectangular grids, the elements in the resulted holed structural parametric domain could all be untrimmed rectangles under certain mapping conditions. To achieve the special condition, a systematic technique consisting… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.124, No.3, pp. 807-824, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.010936
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Recent Developments of Isogeometric Analysis and its Applications in Structural Optimization)
    Abstract In this paper, general interpolating isogeometric boundary node method (IIBNM) and isogeometric boundary element method (IBEM) based on parameter space are proposed for 2D elasticity problems. In both methods, the integral cells and elements are defined in parameter space, which can reproduce the geometry exactly at all the stages. In IIBNM, the improved interpolating moving leastsquare method (IIMLS) is applied for field approximation and the shape functions have the delta function property. The Lagrangian basis functions are used for field approximation in IBEM. Thus, the boundary conditions can be imposed directly in both methods. The shape functions are defined in… More >

    Farnaz Ismail1, Mubashir Qayyum2, *, Syed Inayat Ali Shah1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.124, No.3, pp. 825-845, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.011073
    Abstract Modeling and analysis of thin film flow with respect to magneto hydro dynamical effect has been an important theme in the field of fluid dynamics, due to its vast industrial applications. The analysis involves studying the behavior and response of governing equations on the basis of various parameters such as thickness of the film, film surface profile, shear stress, liquid velocity, volumetric flux, vorticity, gravity, viscosity among others, along with different boundary conditions. In this article, we extend this analysis in fractional space using a homotopy based scheme, considering the case of a Non-Newtonian Pseudo-Plastic fluid for lifting and drainage… More >

    Predicting Human Mobility via Long Short-Term Patterns

    Jianwei Chen, Jianbo Li*, Ying Li
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.124, No.3, pp. 847-864, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.010240
    Abstract Predicting human mobility has great significance in Location based Social Network applications, while it is challenging due to the impact of historical mobility patterns and current trajectories. Among these challenges, historical patterns tend to be crucial in the prediction task. However, it is difficult to capture complex patterns from long historical trajectories. Motivated by recent success of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based methods, we propose a Union ConvGRU (UCG) Net, which can capture long short-term patterns of historical trajectories and sequential impact of current trajectories. Specifically, we first incorporate historical trajectories into hidden states by a shared-weight layer, and then utilize… More >

    Siraj-ul-Islam1, Arshed Ali2,*, Aqib Zafar1, Iltaf Hussain1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.124, No.3, pp. 915-935, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.011218
    Abstract Differential quadrature method is employed by numerous researchers due to its numerical accuracy and computational efficiency, and is mentioned as potential alternative of conventional numerical methods. In this paper, a differential quadrature based numerical scheme is developed for solving volterra partial integro-differential equation of second order having a weakly singular kernel. The scheme uses cubic trigonometric B-spline functions to determine the weighting coefficients in the differential quadrature approximation of the second order spatial derivative. The advantage of this approximation is that it reduces the problem to a first order time dependent integro-differential equation (IDE). The proposed scheme is obtained in… More >

    Abstract In this work, a system of three masses on the vertices of equilateral triangle is investigated. This system is known in the literature as a planar system. We first give a description to the system by constructing its classical Lagrangian. Secondly, the classical Euler-Lagrange equations (i.e., the classical equations of motion) are derived. Thirdly, we fractionalize the classical Lagrangian of the system, and as a result, we obtain the fractional Euler-Lagrange equations. As the final step, we give the numerical simulations of the fractional model, a new model which is based on Caputo fractional derivative. More >

    Wenxuan Wang*, Xiaoyi Wang
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.124, No.3, pp. 985-1000, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.09006
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Novel Methods for Reliability Evaluation and Optimization of Complex Mechanical Structures)
    Abstract The importance analysis method represents a powerful tool for quantifying the impact of input uncertainty on the output uncertainty. When an input variable is described by a specific interval rather than a certain probability distribution, the interval importance measure of input interval variable can be calculated by the traditional non-probabilistic importance analysis methods. Generally, the non-probabilistic importance analysis methods involve the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) and the optimization-based methods, which both have high computational cost. In order to overcome this problem, this study proposes an interval important analytical method avoids the time-consuming optimization process. First, the original performance function is… More >

    Abstract Comic character detection is becoming an exciting and growing research area in the domain of machine learning. In this regard, recently, many methods are proposed to provide adequate performance. However, most of these methods utilized the custom datasets, containing a few hundred images and fewer classes, to evaluate the performances of their models without comparing it, with some standard datasets. This article takes advantage of utilizing a standard publicly dataset taken from a competition, and proposes a generic data balancing technique for imbalanced dataset to enhance and enable the in-depth training of the CNN.

There exist numerous studies on the topic of applying artificial intelligence methods for fault detection and diagnosis. However, much of the focus has been given on the detection of faults. In terms of the diagnosis of faults, on one hand, assumptions are required, which restricts the diagnosis range. On the other hand, different faults with similar symptoms cannot be distinguished, especially when the model is not trained by plenty of data. In… More >
