In this paper, elasto-plastic analysis of an edge crack has been performed using element free Galerkin method. A model problem has been solved in plane stress condition under mode-I loading. A system of nonlinear equations has been obtained by using incremental theory of plasticity, and the equations are solved by assuming piecewise linear approximation. A code has been written in Matlab for el...

In this paper we analyze a Galerkin procedure, based on a combination of finite and spectral elements, for approximating a time-harmonic acoustic wave scattered by a bounded inhomogeneity. The finite element method used to approximate the near field in the region of inhomogeneity is coupled with a nonlocal boundary condition, which consists in a linear integral equation. This integral equation ...

The problem of nonlinear stability of computational schemes is very important in numerical weather forecasts and climate simulations. In this paper, using the heuristic stability analysis method, and concerning a nonlinear advection equation, we compare and contrast the stability criterion of Galerkin Finite Element Method scheme with that of general difference schemes, and especially, point ou...

A Legendre and Chebyshev dual-Petrov–Galerkin method for hyperbolic equations is introduced and analyzed. The dual-Petrov– Galerkin method is based on a natural variational formulation for hyperbolic equations. Consequently, it enjoys some advantages which are not available for methods based on other formulations. More precisely, it is shown that (i) the dual-Petrov–Galerkin method is always st...

Abstract. In this work we construct reliable a posteriori estimates for some discontinuous Galerkin schemes applied to nonlinear systems of hyperbolic conservation laws. We make use of appropriate reconstructions of the discrete solution together with the relative entropy stability framework. The methodology we use is quite general and allows for a posteriori control of discontinuous Galerkin s...

A numerical approach for solving constant-coefficient differential equations whose solutions exhibit boundary layer structure is built by inserting Bernstein Partition of Unity into Galerkin variational weak form. Due to the reproduction capability of Bernstein basis, such implementation shows excellent accuracy at boundaries and is able to capture sharp gradients of the field variable by p-ref...

We develop a stochastic Galerkin method for the Boltzmann equation with uncertainty. The method is based on the generalized polynomial chaos (gPC) approximation in the stochastic Galerkin framework, and can handle random inputs from collision kernel, initial data or boundary data. We show that a simple singular value decomposition of gPC related coefficients combined with the fast Fourier-spect...

We analyze the theoretical properties of an adaptive Legendre-Galerkin method in the multidimensional case. After the recent investigations for Fourier-Galerkin methods in a periodic box and for Legendre-Galerkin methods in the one dimensional setting, the present study represents a further step towards a mathematically rigorous understanding of adaptive spectral/hp discretizations of elliptic ...

In this article we study the properties of the hyperinterpolation operator on the unit disk D in R, approximating the orthogonal projection of a function onto the family of polynomials of degree n. A bound for the norm of the hyperinterpolation operator in the space C(D) is derived. Our results then prove the uniform convergence of the hyperinterpolation approximation of functions in the class ...

A full discrete two-level postprocessing Fourier Galerkin scheme for the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations with periodic boundary conditions is proposed in this talk. By defining a new projection, the interaction between the large and small eddies is reflected by the associated space splitting to some extent. Then a weakly coupled system of the large and small eddies is obtained. Stability and e...
