A mechanical realisation of a symplectic numerical method with large step-size
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that a mechanical model of a pin-jointed linked structure is exactly equivalent to a symplectic Euler discretisation of a Hamiltonian ODE system. The step-size of this discretisation relates to a mechanical quantity which can take arbitrary values. Thus we may explore the behaviour of the symplectic Euler method in regions not normally considered appropriate for a numerical scheme and investigate the use of backward error analysis in describing the behaviour of the pin-jointed structure.

Seismic Wave-Field Propagation Modelling using the Euler Method
Wave-field extrapolation based on solving the wave equation is an important step in seismic modeling and needs a high level of accuracy. It has been implemented through a various numerical methods such as finite difference method as the most popular and conventional one. Moreover, the main drawbacks of the finite difference method are the low level of accuracy and the numerical dispersion for l...

In this paper, we investigate the connection between closed Newton-Cotes formulae, trigonometrically-fitted methods, symplectic integrators and efficient integration of the Schr¨odinger equation. The study of multistep symplectic integrators is very poor although in the last decades several one step symplectic integrators have been produced based on symplectic geometry (see the relevant lit...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Squeezed Flow of a Viscoplastic Material by a Three-step Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Method
In the current work, the mesh free Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method, was employed to numerically investigate the transient flow of a viscoplastic material. Using this method, large deformation of the sample and its free surface boundary were captured without the cumbersome process of the grid generation. This three-step SPH scheme employs an explicit predictor-corrector technique an...

Shell-type nanostructures have recently attracted a lot of attention due to their several applications. The surface stress effect plays an important role in the mechanical behavior of such structures because of their large surface-to-volume ratio. In this paper, an analytical approach is presented for analyzing the geometrically nonlinear free vibrations of cylindrical nanoshells. In order ...

The incremental sheet metal forming (ISMF) process is a new and flexible method that is well suited for small batch production or prototyping. This paper studies the use of the finite element method in the incremental forming process of AA1050 sheets to investigate the influence of tool diameter, vertical step size, and friction coefficient on forming force, spring-back, and thickness distribut...
