    A Numerical Procedure Based on 1D-IRBFN and Local MLS-1D-IRBFN Methods for Fluid-Structure Interaction Analysis

    D. Ngo-Cong, N. Mai-Duy, W. Karunasena, T. Tran-Cong
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.83, No.5, pp. 459-498, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.083.459
    Abstract The partition of unity method is employed to incorporate the moving least square (MLS) and one dimensional-integrated radial basis function (1D-IRBFN) techniques in a new approach, namely local MLS-1D-IRBFN or LMLS-1D-IRBFN. This approach leads to sparse system matrices and offers a high level of accuracy as in the case of 1D-IRBFN method. A new numerical procedure based on the 1D-IRBFN method and LMLS-1D-IRBFN approach is presented for a solution of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems. A combination of Chorin's method and pseudo-time subiterative technique is presented for a transient solution of 2-D incompressible viscous Navier-Stokes equations in terms of primitive variables.… More >

    The Concept of Best Vector Used to Solve Ill-Posed Linear Inverse Problems

    Chein-Shan Liu
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.83, No.5, pp. 499-526, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.083.499
    Abstract The iterative algorithms based on the concept of best vector are proposed to solve an ill-conditioned linear system: Bx-b=0, which might be a discretization of linear inverse problem. In terms of r:=Bx-b and a monotonically increasing positive function Q(t) of a time-like variable t, we define a future cone in the Minkowski space, wherein the discrete dynamics of the proposed algorithm is evolved. We propose two methods to approximate the best vector B-1r, and obtain three iterative algorithms for solving x, which we label them as the steepest-descent and optimal vectors iterative algorithm (SOVIA), the mixed optimal iterative algorithm (MOIA),… More >

    Numerical Investigation on Dynamical Response of Aluminum Foam Subject to Hypervelocity Impact With Material Point Method

    Weiwei Gong, Yan Liu, Xiong Zhang, Honglei Ma
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.83, No.5, pp. 527-546, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.083.527
    Abstract Owing to its low density and good energy absorption capability, aluminum foam is an excellent protective material for spacecraft against debris impact. However, because of its complicated microstructure, it is very difficult to generate a FEM mesh accounting for the real microstructure of the alluminum foam. On the contrary, it is very easy to model three-dimensional problems with very complicated geometry with meshfree/meshless methods. Furthermore, the material point method has obvious advantages in modeling problems involving extreme large deformation problems like hypervelocity impact problem. In this paper, a three-dimensional material point model accounting for the real microsctructure of aluminum foam… More >

    The Mode Relation for Open Acoustic Waveguide Terminated by PML with Varied Sound Speed

    Jianxin Zhu, Zengsi Chen, Zheqi Shen
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.83, No.5, pp. 547-560, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.083.547
    Abstract An acoustic waveguide with continuously varying sound speed is discussed in this paper. When the waveguide is open along the depth, the perfectly matched layer (PML) is used to terminate the infinite domain. Since the sound speed is gradually varied, the density is assumed as constant in each fluid layer. For this waveguide, it is shown that the mode relation is derived by using the differential transfer matrix method (DTMM). To solve leaky and PML modes, Newton's iteration is applied, and Chebyshev pseudospectral method is used for obtaining initial guesses. The solutions are with high accuracy. More >
