In this paper the boundary collocation method has been used successfully to analyse the interfacial cracks emanating from a hole in a bi-material plate. The stress functions are assumed such that they can satisfy a series of governing conditions, such as the equilibrium equations in the domain, the boundary conditions on the crack surfaces, and the stress and displacement conditions on the crac...

In this paper, high order systems are reformulated as first order systems which are then numerically solved by a collocation method. The collocation method is based on Cartesian discretisation with 1D-integrated radial basis function networks (1D-IRBFN) [1]. The present method is enhanced by a new boundary interpolation technique based on 1D-IRBFN which is introduced to obtain variable approxim...

Collocation is a popular method in geodesy for combining heterogeneous data of different kind. It comprises adjustment, interpolation and extrapolation as special cases. Current methods of collocation apply however only if the trend parameters are real valued. In the present contribution we will generalize the theory of collocation by permitting the trend parameters to be integer valued. It wil...

In this paper the collocation method for first-kind boundary integral equations, by using piecewise constant trial functions with uniform mesh, is shown to be equivalent to a projection method for second-kind Fredholm equations. In a certain sense this projection is an interpolation projection. By introducing this technique of analysis, we particularly consider the case of polygonal boundaries....

We consider the problem of numerical inversion of Fredholm integral equations of the first kind via piecewise interpolation. One of the most important aspects of this technique is the choice of grid and collocation points. Theoretical results are developed which identify an optimal strategy for the distribution of collocation points for piecewise constant interpolation. The method, as outlined,...

a meshless approach, collocation discrete least square (cdls) method, is extended in this paper, for solvingelasticity problems. in the present cdls method, the problem domain is discretized by distributed field nodes. the fieldnodes are used to construct the trial functions. the moving least-squares interpolant is employed to construct the trialfunctions. some collocation points that are indep...

Various MLPG methods, with the MLS approximation for the trial function, in the solution of a 4th order ordinary differential equation are illustrated. Both the primal MLPG methods and the mixed MLPG methods are used. All the possible local weak forms for a 4th order ordinary differential equation are presented. In the first kind of mixed MLPG methods, both the displacement and its second deriv...

The mechanism of displacement washing of packed bed of porous, compressible and cylindrical particles, e.g., fibers, is presented with the help of an axial dispersion model involving Peclet number (Pe) and Biot number (Bi). Bulk fluid concentration, intra-pore solute concentration and concentration of solute adsorbed on the fiber surface are taken to be the function of washing time and position...
