Abstract
The objective of this work is to develop a conforming virtual element method for viscoelastic wave equations with variable coefficients on polygonal meshes. For problems where the coefficients are variable, the standard virtual element discrete forms do not work efficiently and require modification. For the optimal convergence estimate of the semi-discrete approximation in the \(L^{2}\) norm, a special projection operator is used. In the fully discrete scheme, the implicit second-order Newmark method is employed to approximate the temporal derivatives. Numerical experiments are presented to support the theoretical results. The proposed numerical algorithm can be applied to various problems arising in the engineering and medical fields.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
