A meshless formulation for geodynamic modeling

A truly meshless method formulation for analysis of non-Fourier heat conduction in solids

The non-Fourier effect in heat conduction is important in strong thermal environments and thermal shock problems. Generally, commercial FE codes are not available for analysis of non-Fourier heat conduction. In this study, a meshless formulation is presented for the analysis of the non-Fourier heat conduction in the materials. The formulation is based on the symmetric local weak form of the sec...

Numerical Geodynamic Modeling of Continental Convergent Margins

MLPG Formulation of the Multipoint Meshless FDM

Discussed is here the multipoint meshless finite difference method (MMFDM) following the original Collatz [2] multipoint concept, and the essential ideas of the meshless FDM [3]. The Collatz approach was based on interpolation, regular meshes and the local formulation of b.v. problems. On the other hand in the MFDM we deal with the moving weighted least squares (MWLS) approximation, arbitrarily...

A Boundary Meshless Method for Neumann Problem

Boundary integral equations (BIE) are reformulations of boundary value problems for partial differential equations. There is a plethora of research on numerical methods for all types of these equations such as solving by discretization which includes numerical integration. In this paper, the Neumann problem is reformulated to a BIE, and then moving least squares as a meshless method is describe...

A Dynamic Formulation for Car Ownership Modeling

Discrete choice models are commonly used in transportation planning and modeling, but their theoretical basis and their applications have been mainly developed in a static context. We propose to develop an estimation technique for analyzing the impact of technological change on the dynamics of consumer demand. The proposed research presents a dynamic model of consumer demand that explicitly acc...
