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...

In this article, element free Galerkin method is used for static analysis of thin micro/nanoscale plates based on the nonlocal plate theory. The problem is solved for the plates with arbitrary boundary conditions. Since shape functions of the element free Galerkin method do not satisfy the Kronecker’s delta property, the penalty method is used to impose the essential boundary conditions. Discre...

In this paper, elasto-plastic analysis of an edge crack has been performed using element free Galerkin method. A model problem has been solved in plane stress condition under mode-I loading. A system of nonlinear equations has been obtained by using incremental theory of plasticity, and the equations are solved by assuming piecewise linear approximation. A code has been written in Matlab for el...

saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) can exhibit sustained oscillations during the operation in a continuous bioreactor that adversely affects its stability and productivity. because of heterogeneous nature of cell populations, the cell population balance equation (pbe) can be used to capture the dynamic behavior of such cultures. in this work, an unstructured-segregated model is used for d...

This paper introduces a computational strategy to collaboratively develop the Galerkin Finite Volume Method (GFVM) as one of the most straightforward and efficient explicit numerical methods to solve structural problems encountering material nonlinearity in a small limited area, while the remainder of the domain represents a linear elastic behavior. In this regard, the Element Free Galerkin met...

To solve crack problems, some coupled methods have been developed in recent years. Most of these methods have some shortcomings such as the need for a transition region. The finite element and enriched element free Galerkin methods are widely used for this class of problems. In order to take the advantages of these methods while avoiding the disadvantages, it is essential to follow solution app...

The paper is concerned with the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the numerical solution of nonlinear conservation laws and nonlinear convection-diffusion problems with emphasis on applications to the simulation of compressible flows. We discuss two versions of this method: (a) Finite volume discontinuous Galerkin method, which is a generalization of the combined finite volume—fi...
