The present study attempts to apply an efficient yet simple optimization (SOPT) algorithm to optimum design of truss structures under stress and displacement constraints. The computational efficiency of the technique is improved through avoiding unnecessary analyses during the course of optimization using the so-called upper bound strategy (UBS). The efficiency of the UBS integrated SOPT algori...

In this paper, we develop a numerical resolution of the space-time fractional advection-dispersion equation. We utilize spectral-collocation method combining with a product integration technique in order to discretize the terms involving spatial fractional order derivatives that leads to a simple evaluation of the related terms. By using Bernstein polynomial basis, the problem is transformed in...

The aim of this work is the development of a high-resolution and high-efficiency module applicable to various numerical simulations. Despite the increasing computational power, lack of numerical resolution is a persistent problem in a simulation studies. To solve this problem, we adopted adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) which realizes both high-resolution and high-efficiency in a simulation [1,2]...

In this paper‎, ‎steady flow of a third-grade fluid in a porous half‎ space has been considered‎. ‎This problem is a nonlinear two-point‎ boundary value problem (BVP) on semi-infinite interval‎. ‎The‎ solution for this problem is given by a numerical method based on the feed-forward artificial‎ neural network model using radial basis activation functions trained with an interior point method‎. ...

A novel computational fluid dynamics and molecular kinetic theory (CFD-MK) method was developed to simulate the impingement of a nanodroplet onto a solid surface. A numerical solution of the Navier–Stokes equation using a volume-of-fluid (VOF) technique was used to model nanodroplet deformation. Dynamic contact angle during droplet impact was obtained by molecular kinetic theory. This dynamic c...

Love-type wave generation in a fiber-reinforced medium placed over an inhomogeneous orthotropic half-space is analysed. The upper and lower boundary surfaces of the fiber reinforced medium are periodically corrugated. Inhomogeneity of half-space is caused by variable density and variable shear modules. Displacement components for layer and half-space are derived by applying separable variable t...
