A thin layer on the component surface can be found with high tensile residual stresses, due to turning operations, which can dangerously affect the fatigue performance of the component. In this paper an analytical approach is presented to reconstruct the residual stress field from a limited incomplete set of measurements. Airy stress function is used as the primary unknown to directly solve the...

An effective computational method based on a conventional modal expansion approach is presented for handling a multilayered dielectric grating whose profiles are multilayered and sinusoidally modulated. This structure fabricated by dielectric material is one of the useful photonic crystals. The method is based on Yasuura’s modal expansion, which is known as a least-squares boundary residual met...

Minimum residual norm iterative methods for solving linear systems Ax = b can be viewed as, and are often implemented as, sequences of least squares problems involving Krylov subspaces of increasing dimensions. The minimum residual method (MINRES) [C. Paige and M. Saunders, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 12 (1975), pp. 617–629] and generalized minimum residual method (GMRES) [Y. Saad and M. Schultz, SIA...

In this paper the meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method is implemented to study the buckling of isotropic cylindrical shells under axial load. Displacement field equations, based on Donnell and first order shear deformation theory, are taken into consideration. The set of governing equations of motion are numerically solved by the MLPG method in which according to a semi-inverse method, ...

This paper develops least-squares pseudo-spectral collocation methods for elliptic boundary value problems having interface conditions given by discontinuous coefficients and singular source term. From the discontinuities of coefficients and singular source term, we derive the interface conditions and then we impose such interface conditions to solution spaces. We define two types of discrete l...

fuzzy linear regression models are used to obtain an appropriate linear relation between a dependent variable and several independent variables in a fuzzy environment. several methods for evaluating fuzzy coefficients in linear regression models have been proposed. the first attempts at estimating the parameters of a fuzzy regression model used mathematical programming methods. in this the...

(2001) A coupled Element Free Galerkin / Boundary Element method for stress analysis of two-dimensional solids. Abstract Element Free Galerkin (EFG) method is a newly developed meshless method for solving partial differential equations using Moving Least Squares interpolants. It is, however, computationally expensive for many problems. A coupled EFG/Boundary Element (BE) method is proposed in t...
