Galerkin Approximations to Static and Dynamic Localization Problems
نویسنده
چکیده
A new Galerkin-type procedure is established which, unlike the classical approach, does not rely on the nal shape being composed of linearly independent modes. The procedure is applied to the evolution of a localized buckle of a thin elastic strip within a visco-elastic medium. Unlike the related elastic problem, no clear-cut linear eigenvalues exist to model wavelength and exponential growth/decay in the tails of the buckle pattern. The new procedure introduces variables to measure these eeects, and allows them to change in time. This results in a more natural evolutionary process than with xed mode shapes. Analysis is run within an algebraic manipulator (Maple) and checked against that of a numerical boundary-value solver (COLPAR).

Three dimensional static and dynamic analysis of thick plates by the meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method under different loading conditions
In this paper, three dimensional (3D) static and dynamic analysis of thick plates based on the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) is presented. Using the kinematics of a three-dimensional continuum, the local weak form of the equilibrium equations is derived. A weak formulation for the set of governing equations is transformed into local integral equations on local sub-domains by using a uni...
متن کاملMesh Adaptation Strategies for Discontinuous Galerkin Methods Applied to Reactive Transport Problems
Static and dynamic strategies are formulated and studied for discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods applied to reactive transport problems based on a posteriori error estimators. It is shown that the flexibility of DG allowing non-matching meshes substantially simplifies the implementation of the mesh adaptation. Moreover, DG with adaptivity can effectively capture local physical phenomena due to ...
متن کاملOptimization of Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin Parameters using Genetic Algorithm for 3D Elasto-static Problems (TECHNICAL NOTE)
A truly Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method is developed for solving 3D elasto-static problems. Using the general MLPG concept, this method is derived through the local weak forms of the equilibrium equations, by using a test function, namely, the Heaviside step function. The Moving Least Squares (MLS) are chosen to construct the shape functions. The penalty approach is used to impose ...
متن کاملNonlinear static and dynamic behaviors of a microresonator under discontinuous electrostatic actuation
This article studied static deflection, natural frequency and nonlinear vibration of a clamped-clamped microbeam under discontinues electrostatic actuation. The electrostatic actuation was induced by applying AC-DC voltage between the microbeam and electrode plate. In contrast to previous works, it was assumed that length of the electrode plate was smaller than that of the microbeam. In additio...

In this paper static and dynamic response of nanotweezers composed of two carbon nanotube (CNT) arms are investigated. Taking into account a continuum model and considering the electrostatic actuation as well as the presence of the van der Waals forces, the static nonlinear equations are solved by a step by step linearization and Galerkin projection method. Simulating the closing dynamics of a ...
