Application of Decoupled Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method to Solve Eigenvalue Helmholtz Problems (Research Note)

Authors

Abstract:

A novel element with arbitrary domain shape by using decoupled scaled boundary finite element (DSBFEM) is proposed for eigenvalue analysis of 2D vibrating rods with different boundary conditions. Within the proposed element scheme, the mode shapes of vibrating rods with variable boundary conditions are modelled and results are plotted. All possible conditions for the rods ends are incorporated in analysis. The considered element stiffness and mass matrix are developed and extracrted. This element is able to model any curved or sharp edges without any aproximation and also the element is able to model any arbitrary domain shape as a single element without any meshing. The coefficient matrices for the element such as mass and stiffness matrices are diagonal symmetric and all equations are decoupled by using Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre (G.L.L) quadrature. The element is used in order to calculate modal parameters by Finite element method for some benchmark examples and comparing the answers with Helmholtz equation solution. The most important achievment of this element is solving matrix equations instead of differential equations where cause faster calculations speed. The boundaries for this element are solved with matrix calculation and the whole interior domain with solving governing equations numerically wich leads us to an exact answer in whole domain. The introduced element is applied to calculate some benchmark example which have exact solution. The results shows accuracy and high speed of calculation for this method in comparison with other common methods.

A novel modification of decouple scaled boundary finite element method in fracture mechanics problems

In fracture mechanics and failure analysis, cracked media energy and consequently stress intensity factors (SIFs) play a crucial and significant role. Based on linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), the SIFs and energy of cracked media may be estimated. This study presents the novel modification of decoupled scaled boundary finite element method (DSBFEM) to model cracked media. In this metho...

Evaluation of Fracture Parameters by Coupling the Edge-Based Smoothed Finite Element Method and the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method

This paper presents a technique to evaluate the fracture parameters by combining the edge based smoothed finite element method (ESFEM) and the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM). A semi-analytical solution is sought in the region close to the vicinity of the crack tip using the SBFEM, whilst, the ESFEM is used for the rest of the domain. As both methods satisfy the partition of unity...

Modified Fixed Grid Finite Element Method to Solve 3D Elasticity Problems of Functionally Graded Materials

In the present paper, applicability of the modified fixed grid finite element method in solution of three dimensional elasticity problems of functionally graded materials is investigated. In the non-boundary-fitted meshes, the elements are not conforming to the domain boundaries and the boundary nodes which are used in the traditional finite element method for the application of boundary condit...
