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...

There has been a continuous interest in the analysis of ground-penetrating radar systems and related applications in civil engineering [1]. Consequently, a deeper insight of scattering phenomena occurring in a lossy half-space, as well as the development of sophisticated numerical methods based on Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method, Finite Element Method (FEM), Boundary Element Method ...

in this study, focuses on applying the hp-version for forward modeling. the eit forward solver is normally based on the conventional finite element method (hfem). in h-fem, the polynomial order p of the element shape functions is constant and the element size h, is decreased. to accurately simulate the forward solution with the hfem, a mesh with large number of nodes and elements is usually need...

Many science and engineering problems can be mathematically modeled as a boundary value problem. Thus, it is very important to build a method to solve for a boundary value problem. For some simple boundary value problems, for example, a two-dimensional Laplace equation, it may be possible to solve it analytically by separation of variables. However, in most applications, boundary value problems...

Extended finite element method (XFEM) is the most effective numerical method to solve discrete mechanical problem. Crack growth problem of two-dimension finite length rectangle panel is researched based on Abaqus XFEM frame. Stress intensity factor is obtained respectively by theoretical calculation and XFEM simulation, which proves reliability of XFEM and the software.

The paper presents main results of the investigation of the coupled BEM and FEM applied to a nonlinear generally nonmonotone exterior boundary value problem. The problem consists of a nonlinear diier-ential equation considered in an annular bounded domain and the Laplace equation outside. These equations are equipped with boundary and transmission conditions. The problem is reformulated in a we...

In order to overcome the difficulties of low computational efficiency and high memory requirement in the conventional boundary element method for solving large-scale potential problems, a fast multipole boundary element method for the problems of Laplace equation is presented. through the multipole expansion and local expansion for the basic solution of the kernel function of the Laplace equati...

This paper presents a comparison of numerical methods used to model large scale acoustic coupled fluidstructure interaction (FSI) problems for single and double-walled cylindrical shells. The finite element method (FEM) is used to model the structure while the fast multipole boundary element method (FMBEM) is used to model the fluid domain and both models are coupled on the shared boundary surf...

An overlapping iterative domain decomposition approach for the coupling of the finite element method (FEM) and the boundary element method (BEM) is presented in this paper. In this proposed method, the domain of the original problem is subdivided into a FEM sub-domain and a BEM sub-domain, such that the two sub-domains partially overlap over a common region. The common region is modeled by both...
