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 >

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 >

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

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 >

Abstract This paper proposes a probabilistic life calculation method of NdFeB
based on brittle fatigue damage model. Firstly, Zhu-Wang-Tang (ZWT) constitutive model considering strain rate is established, and based on this, a numerical
co-simulation model for NdFeB life calculation is constructed. The life distribution diagram of NdFeB under different stress levels is obtained after simulation.
Secondly, a new model of brittle fatigue damage based on brittle damage mechanism is proposed. Then the parameters in the model are identified according to the
life distribution diagram of NdFeB and the parameter distribution of the damage
evolution model when applied to NdFeB is obtained.… More >

Abstract Due to the interaction and corrosion of the seawater, submarine pipelines are easy to be broken to spill oil. The special environment of subsea restricts

can be determined. This paper aims to establish an oil spilling model of a submarine pipeline, study the movement characteristics of spilled oil in seawater by

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 >

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 >
