The discrete orthogonal wavelet-Galerkin method is illustrated as an effective method for solving partial differential equations (PDE's) with spatially varying parameters on a bounded interval. Daubechies scaling functions provide a concise but adaptable set of basis functions and allow for implementation of varied loading and boundary conditions. These basis functions can also effectively describe C0 continuous parameter spatial dependence on bounded domains. Doing so allows the PDE to be discretized as a set of linear equations composed of known inner products which can be stored for efficient parametric analyses. Solution schemes for both free and forced PDE's are developed; natural frequencies, mode shapes, and frequency response functions for an Euler–Bernoulli beam with piecewise varying thickness are calculated. The wavelet-Galerkin approach is shown to converge to the first four natural frequencies at a rate greater than that of the linear finite element approach; mode shapes and frequency response functions converge similarly.

The Galerkin Method

In this work, an eigenfunction expansion approach is used to study the dynamic response of a cable-stayed bridge excited by a continuous sequence of identical, equally spaced moving forces. The nonlinear dynamic response of the cable-stayed bridge is obtained by simultaneously solving nonlinear and linear partial differential equations that govern transverse and longitudinal vibrations of stay cables and transverse vibrations of segments of the deck beam, respectively, along with their boundary and matching conditions. Orthogonality conditions of exact mode shapes of the linearized cable-stayed bridge model are employed to convert the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations of the original nonlinear model to a set of ordinary differential equations by using the Galerkin method. The dynamic response of the cable-stayed bridge is numerically solved. Convergence of the dynamic response from the Galerkin method is investigated. Effects of close natural frequencies, mode localization, the distance between any two neighboring forces, and geometric nonlinearities of stay cables on the forced dynamic response of the cable-stayed bridge are captured using a convergent modal truncation.

Abstract A frequency-domain technique to extract the normal mode from the measurement data for highly coupled structures is developed. The relation between the complex frequency response functions and the normal frequency response functions is derived. An algorithm is developed to calculate the normal modes from the complex frequency response functions. In this algorithm, only the magnitude and phase data at the undamped natural frequencies are utilized to extract the normal mode shapes. In addition, the developed technique is independent of the damping types. It is only dependent on the model of analysis. Two experimental examples are employed to illustrate the applicability of the technique. The effects due to different measurement locations are addressed. The results indicate that this technique can successfully extract the normal modes from the noisy frequency response functions of a highly coupled incomplete system.

Wavelet Galerkin Method

We describe a wavelet Galerkin method for numerical solutions of fourth-order linear and nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) in 2D and 3D based on the use of Daubechies compactly supported wavelets. Two-term connection coefficients have been used to compute higher-order derivatives accurately and economically. Localization and orthogonality properties of wavelets make the global matrix sparse. In particular, these properties reduce the computational cost significantly. Linear system of equations obtained from discretized equations have been solved using GMRES iterative solver. Quasi-linearization technique has been effectively used to handle nonlinear terms arising in nonlinear biharmonic equation. To reduce the computational cost of our method, we have proposed an efficient compression algorithm. Error and stability estimates have been derived. Accuracy of the proposed method is demonstrated through various examples.
