Enrichment of a rational polynomial family of shape functions with regularity Ck0, k=0,2,4…: Applications in axisymmetric plates and shells

Oscar A.G. de Suarez, Rodrigo Rossi, Cláudio R.A. da Silva

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the approximation performance of a family of piecewise rational polynomial shape functions, which are enriched by a set of monomials of…

Investigating a flexible wind turbine using consistent time‐stepping schemes

Denis Anders, Stefan Uhlar, Melanie Krüger, Michael Groß, Kerstin Weinberg

Wind turbines are of growing importance for the production of renewable energy. The kinetic energy of the blowing air induces a rotary motion and is thus converted into…

From determinism to probabilistic analysis and stochastic simulation

I. Doltsinis

The purpose of this paper is to expose computational methods as applied to engineering systems and evolutionary processes with randomness in external actions and inherent…

A numerical study on effect of temperature and inertia on tolerance design of mechanical assembly

G. Jayaprakash, K. Sivakumar, M. Thilak

Due to technological and financial limitations, nominal dimension may not be able achievable during manufacturing process. Therefore, tolerance allocation is of significant…

A novel approximation method for multivariate data partitioning: Fluctuation free integration based HDMR

Burcu Tunga, Metin Demiralp

The plain High Dimensional Model Representation (HDMR) method needs Dirac delta type weights to partition the given multivariate data set for modelling an interpolation problem…

Numerical solution of time‐fraction modified equal width wave equation

Mehmet Merdan, Ahmet Yildirim, Ahmet Gökdoğan

The purpose of this paper is to show how an application of fractional two dimensional differential transformation method (DTM) obtained approximate analytical solution of…

A dynamic mixed nonlinear subgrid‐scale model for large‐eddy simulation

Yang Zhengjun, Wang Fujun

Large eddy simulation (LES) is widely used in prediction of turbulent flow. The purpose of this paper is to propose a new dynamic mixed nonlinear subgrid‐scale (SGS) model (DMNM)…
