The paper presents a Galerkin approach for the solution of nonlinear beam equations. The approach is energy consistent, i.e., it is shown that the weighted residual integral describes energy flow. The Galerkin approach gives accurate results with less degrees of freedom as compared to low-order finite element formulation. The Galerkin approach also leads to a nonlinear order-reduction technique...

In this paper, we present a distributed parameters deterministic model for treatment of brain tumors using Galerkin finite element method. The dynamic model comprises system of three coupled reaction-diffusion models, involving the tumor cells, the normal tissues and the drug concentration. An optimal control problem is formulated with the goal of minimizing the tumor cell density and reducing ...

We consider a boundary value problem involving a Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative of order α ∈ (3/2, 2) on the unit interval (0, 1). The standard Galerkin finite element approximation converges slowly due to the presence of singularity term xα−1 in the solution representation. In this work, we develop a simple technique, by transforming it into a second-order two-point boundary value pro...

a new approach for analyzing cracked problems in 2d orthotropic materials using the well-known element free galerkin method and orthotropic enrichment functions is proposed. the element free galerkin method is a meshfree method which enables discontinuous problems to be modeled efficiently. in this study, element free galerkin is extrinsically enriched by the recently developed crack-tip orthot...

using the highly recommended numerical techniques, a finite element computer code is developed to analyse the steady incompressible, laminar and turbulent flows in 2-d domains with complex geometry. the petrov-galerkin finite element formulation is adopted to avoid numerical oscillations. turbulence is modeled using the two equation k-ω model. the discretized equations are written in the form o...

Recently, a new strategy was proposed to solve stochastic partial differential equations on random domains. It is based on the extension to the stochastic framework of the eXtended Finite Element Method (X-FEM). This method leads by a “direct” calculus to an explicit solution in terms of the variables describing the randomness on the geometry. It relies on two major points: the implicit represe...

A discontinuous Galerkin finite element heterogeneous multiscale method is proposed for advectiondiffusion problems with highly oscillatory coefficients. The method is based on a coupling of a discontinuous Galerkin discretization for an effective advection-diffusion problem on a macroscopic mesh, whose a priori unknown data are recovered from micro finite element calculations on sampling domai...

Galerkin and weighted Galerkin methods are proposed for the numerical solution of parabolic partial differential equations where the diffusion coefficient takes different signs. The approach is based on a simultaneous discretization of space and time variables by using continuous finite element methods. Under some simple assumptions, error estimates and some numerical results for both Galerkin ...
