A model is represented by a volumetric scalar field which is discontinuous on structural discontinuities such as faults or stratigraphic unconformities. The management of such discontinuities may involve boolean operations on several scalar fields or the creation of conformal meshes. Instead, we propose a ghost cell technique for the cartesian grid together with a set of relations between the ghost points, the regular nodes, and the discontinuities. Consequently, poor quality meshes are avoided and only the resolution of the grid has an impact on the solution. The modelling problem is posed as a least square’s minimization of a bending energy penalization on data mismatch functions and approximated by finite difference. As all relationships in the grid are implicitly defined, except close to the discontinuities, this algorithm is computationally efficient. We provide some benchmarks of the method on two-dimensional examples with folds, faults, and erosions.","PeriodicalId":208184,"journal":{"name":"Boundary Elements and other Mesh Reduction Methods XLI","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133612253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents an accurate technique for computation of these integrals by first converting the surface integrals to contour integrals facilitating the decomposition of boundary integral to the sum of line integrals over triangle edges. It was shown that application of this technique to a Laplace type of equations yields expressions having analytical solutions. Moreover, although the same was not possible to achieve in case of integrals involving Helmholtz kernels, nonetheless, the technique enabled the computation of surface integrals to a machine accuracy by employing the adaptive quadrature rules. This approach could be found useful in the high frequency computational dosimetry.","PeriodicalId":208184,"journal":{"name":"Boundary Elements and other Mesh Reduction Methods XLI","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114722685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The singular integral equations for these problems are received using fundamental solutions. Initially three-dimensional problems expressed in Cartesian coordinates are transformed to cylindrical ones and integrated with respect to the circumference coordinate. So the three-dimensional axisymmetric problems are reduced to systems of singular integral equations requiring the evaluation of linear integrals only. The fundamental solutions and their derivatives are expressed in terms of complete elliptic integrals. The effective algorithm for treatment of the singular integrals is proposed. The multi-domain boundary element method is applied for the numerical simulation. As examples, the following problems are considered: fluid induced vibrations of a compound cylindrical-spherical elastic shell partially filled with an ideal incompressible liquid, and axisymmetric elasticity problems for an isotropic body with rigid or elastic circular cylindrical inclusions.","PeriodicalId":208184,"journal":{"name":"Boundary Elements and other Mesh Reduction Methods XLI","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130895245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No magnitudes of the displacements are specified. The problem is reduced to a singular integral equation by using the well-known Muskhelishvili’s theory based on the complex potentials. The solvability of the integral equation is analysed in accordance with the Gakhov’s approach, which reveals that the problem has a finite number of linearly independent solutions depending on the index of the corresponding Riemann BVP. The index is defined through the orientations of the contour displacements. More detailed analysis is performed for the case of elastic half-plane since previously it has been shown that the shape of the domain does not influence the solvability. A numerical approach for solving the problem for the arbitrary domain is outlined.","PeriodicalId":208184,"journal":{"name":"Boundary Elements and other Mesh Reduction Methods XLI","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125154259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The spatial variation of field variables is approximated by using Lagrange finite elements for interpolation without discretization of the analysed domain into the mesh of finite elements. Only the net of nodal points is used for discrete degrees of freedom on the analysed domain and its boundary. The governing equations are considered at interior nodal points while the boundary conditions at nodal points on the boundary. The finite elements are created for each nodal point properly instead of using fixed finite elements like in standard Finite Element Method. In this way, we can eliminate interfaces between elements as well as the difficulties with continuity of derivatives of field variables on such interfaces. Both the strong and weak formulations are implemented for governing equations. The reliability (accuracy and efficiency) of the new method has been verified in numerical simulations for 2D problems of heat conduction in solids with possible continuous gradation of the heat conduction coefficient.","PeriodicalId":208184,"journal":{"name":"Boundary Elements and other Mesh Reduction Methods XLI","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130129633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The moving least squares (MLS) approximation of the elastic field is used to construct the trial function in this local meshfree formulation. ILMF has a high performance in problems with irregular nodal arrangement leading to accurate numerical results. This paper presents the size effect of the irregularity nodal arrangement parameter (cn) on three different nodal discretization to solve the Timoshenko cantilever beam using values fixed for the local support domain (αs) and the local quadrature domain (αq).
