    A Fast Multipole Accelerated Singular Boundary Method for Potential Problems

    W. Chen1,2, C. J. Liu1, Y. Gu2,3
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.105, No.4, pp. 251-270, 2015, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2015.105.251
    Abstract The singular boundary method (SBM) is a recently-developed meshless boundary collocation method. This method overcomes the well-known fictitious boundary issue associated with the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) while remaining the merits of the later of being truly meshless, integral-free, and easy-to-program. Similar to the MFS, this method, however, produces dense and unsymmetrical coefficient matrix, which although much smaller in size compared with domain discretization methods, requires O(N2) operations in the iterative solution of the resulting algebraic system of equations. To remedy this bottleneck problem for its application to large-scale problems, this paper makes the first attempt to develop a… More >

    Three Dimensional Natural Frequency Analysis of Sandwich Plates with Functionally Graded Core Using Hybrid Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin Method and Artificial Neural Network

    Foad Nazari1, Mohammad Hossein Abolbashari1,2, Seyed Mahmoud Hosseini3
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.105, No.4, pp. 271-299, 2015, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2015.105.271
    Abstract Present study is concerned with three dimensional natural frequency analysis of functionally graded sandwich rectangular plates using Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs).The plate consists of two homogeneous face sheets and a power-law FGM core. Natural frequencies of the plate are obtained by 3D MLPG method and are verified with available references. Convergence study of the first four natural frequencies for different node numbers is the next step. Also, effects of two parameters of “FG core to plate thickness ratio” and “volume fraction index” on natural frequencies of plate are investigated. Then, four distinct ANNs are… More >

    High-Order Fully Coupled Scheme Based on Compact Integrated RBF Approximation for Viscous Flows in Regular and Irregular Domains

    C.M.T. Tien1, N. Thai-Quang1, N. Mai-Duy1, C.-D. Tran1, T. Tran-Cong1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.105, No.4, pp. 301-340, 2015, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2015.105.301
    Abstract In this study, we present a numerical discretisation scheme, based on a direct fully coupled approach and compact integrated radial basis function (CIRBF) approximations, to simulate viscous flows in regular/irregular domains. The governing equations are taken in the primitive form where the velocity and pressure fields are solved in a direct fully coupled approach. Compact local approximations, based on integrated radial basis functions, over 3-node stencils are introduced into the direct fully coupled approach to represent the field variables. The present scheme is verified through the solutions of several problems including Poisson equations, Taylor-Green vortices and lid driven cavity flows,… More >
