A general spline differential quadrature method based on quasi-interpolation

Quartic B-spline Differential Quadrature Method

A new differential quadrature method based on quartic B-spline functions is introduced. The weighting coefficients are determined via a semi-explicit algorithm containing an algebraic equation system with four-band coefficient matrix. In order to validate the proposed method, the Burgers’ Equation is selected as test problem. The shock wave and the sinusoidal disturbance solutions of the Burger...

Time integration of rectangular membrane free vibration using spline-based differential quadrature

In this paper, numerical spline-based differential quadrature is presented for solving the boundary and initial value problems, and its application is used to solve the fixed rectangular membrane vibration equation. For the time integration of the problem, the Runge–Kutta and spline-based differential quadrature methods have been applied. The Runge–Kutta method was unstable for solving the prob...

SOLVING INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION BY USING B- SPLINE INTERPOLATION

In this paper a numerical technique based on the B-spline method is presented for the solution of Fredholm integro-differential equations. To illustrate the efficiency of the method some examples are introduced and the results are compared with the exact solution.  

An Efficient Use of the Symbolic Spline-based Differential Quadrature Method in Vibration Analysis of Shells

The paper presents the differential quadrature method (DQM) based on a modified spline interpolation and the application of the method in vibration analysis of laminated, composite shells. The goal of the modification of the spline interpolation is to improve the rate of convergence and preserve the stability of the method. The modification changes the definition of the end conditions for the s...
