The extended boundary node method (X-BNM) has been applied to a boundary-value problem of the Grad-Shafranov (G-S) equation and its performance has been numerically investigated by comparing with the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRM). The result of computations shows that the accuracy of the X-BNM is higher than that of the DRM. Therefore, it is found that the X-BNM might be a powe...

Another general numerical method has recently emerged that provides good computational abilities and has some particular advantages when compared to FEM. The technique known as the boundary element method (BEM) has been widely used by computational mechanics investigators leading to the development of many private and commercial codes. Similar to the finite element method, BEM can analyze many ...

The root of this study, comes from the lack of regularity where exists in shape function selection in direct meshless methods. In this work, we are going to establish a technique which is based on both analytical and simulated results; helps select a well-behaved shape function for which the shape parameters have been predetermined. This work has been focused on wave equation as the most import...

In this paper, free vibration analysis of orthotropic functionally graded material (FGM) cylinders was carried out by a Mesh-Free method. In this analysis, moving least squares shape functions are used for approximation of displacement field in the weak form of equilibrium equation. Essential boundary conditions are imposed by transformation method. In this simulation, an axisymmetric model is ...

ABSTRCT Prediction of the vibro-acoustic responses of fluid-loaded cylindrical shells is important for underwater vehicles. In this work, a number of analytical and numerical approaches to predict the radiated sound power of a fluid-loaded cylindrical shell are compared. In the first approach, an analytical methodology is used whereby the equations of motion for the cylindrical shell are solved...

This paper presents the modelling and analysis of the noise radiation due to internal acoustic excitation of a cylinder submerged in a heavy fluid. The cylinder consists of a cylindrical shell filled with air and attached to rigid end plates. The acoustic excitation is modelled as monopoles to simulate the operation of a machine noise source in the cylindrical shell. In order to model the noise...

Spend your time even for only few minutes to read a book. Reading a book will never reduce and waste your time to be useless. Reading, for some people become a need that is to do every day such as spending time for eating. Now, what about you? Do you like to read a book? Now, we will show you a new book enPDFd finite and boundary element tearing and interconnecting solvers for multiscale proble...
