in this research a new approach is proposed for elasto-plastic analysis of structures with truss elements. this method covers both perfectly plastic and hardening properties. the proposed technique uses substituting virtual loads instead of modifying the stiffness matrix. to solve this kind of problems, complementary programming is utilized. numerical examples demonstrate that elastoplastic ana...

in this paper, we apply the laplace decomposition method to obtain a series solutions of the burgers-huxley and burgers-fisher equations. the technique is based on the application of laplace transform to nonlinear partial differential equations. the method does not need linearization, weak nonlinearity assumptions or perturbation theory and the nonlinear terms can be easily handled by using the...

a numerical method for solving variational problems is presented in this paper. the method is based upon hybrid of hartley functions approximations. the properties of hybrid functions which are the combinations of block-pulse functions and hartley functions are first presented. the operational matrix of integration is then utilized to reduce the variational problems to the solution of algebraic...

introduction: the medical applications of ultrasound on human brain are highly limited by the phase and amplitude aberrations induced by the heterogeneities of the skull. however, it has been shown that time reversing coupled with amplitude compensation can overcome these aberrations. in this work, a model for 2d simulation of the time reversal mirror technique is proposed to study the possibil...

The aim of this paper is to present a new numerical method for solving the Bagley-Torvik equation. This equation has an important role in fractional calculus. The fractional derivatives are described based on the Caputo sense. Some properties of the sinc functions required for our subsequent development are given and are utilized to reduce the computation of solution of the Bagley-Torvik equati...

In this paper, we consider a particular class of integral equations of the fourth kind and show that tractability and differentiability index of the given system are 3. Tractability and dierentiability index are introduced based on the-smoothing property of a Volterra integral operator and index reduction procedure, respectively. Using the notion of index, we give sucient conditions for the exi...

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...

Application of the computer simulation for solving the incompressible flow problems motivates developing efficient and accurate numerical models. The set of Inviscid Incompressible Euler equations can be applied for wide range of engineering applications. For the steady state problems, the equation of continuity can be simultaneously solved with the equations of motion in a coupled manner using...

In this paper, the steady laminar boundary layer flow of non-Newtonian second grade conducting fluid past a permeable stretching sheet, under the influence of a uniform magnetic field is studied. Three different methods are applied for solving the problem; numerical Finite Element Method (FEM), analytical Collocation Method (CM) and 4th order Runge-Kutta numerical method. The FlexPDE software p...

Computational efficiency and reliability are clearly the most important requirements for the success of a meshless numerical technique. While the basic ideas of meshless techniques are simple and well understood, an effective meshless method is very difficult to develop. The efficiency depends on the proper choice of the interpolation scheme, numerical integration procedures and techniques of i...
