Abstract This paper presents a hybrid experimental-numerical method for studying dynamic characteristic of vibrating structures. A continuous structure is first lumped into a number of discrete elements and its influence coefficients are measured by holographic interferometry. The eigen values and eigen vectors of the lumped system are then calculated. A major adavantage of the hybrid method is that it is not necessary to know material properties and idealize the boundary conditions, as the measured influcence coefficients will automatically reflect the real boundary and the material behaviors.

This paper is devoted to the reconstruction of objects buried in a medium and their material properties by hybrid topological derivative-gradient based methods. After illustrating the techniques in time-harmonic acoustic problems with different boundary conditions and in electrical impedance tomography problems with continuous Neumann conditions, we extend the hybrid method for a realistic model in tomography where the boundary conditions are given at a discrete set of electrodes.

Hygrothermal models are important tools for assessing the risk of moisture-related decay mechanisms which can compromise structural integrity, loss of architectural features and material. There are several sources of uncertainty when modelling masonry, related to material properties, boundary conditions, quality of construction and two-dimensional interactions between mortar and unit. This paper examines the uncertainty at the mortar-unit interface with imperfections such as hairline cracks or imperfect contact conditions. These imperfections will alter the rate of liquid transport into and out of the wall and impede the liquid transport between mortar and masonry unit. This means that the effective liquid transport of the wall system will be different then if only properties of the bulk material were modelled. A detailed methodology for modelling this interface as a fracture is presented including definition of material properties for the fracture. The modelling methodology considers the combined effect of both the interface resistance across the mortar-unit interface and increase liquid transport in parallel to the interface, and is generalisable to various combinations of materials, geometries and fracture apertures. Two-dimensional DELPHIN models of a clay brick/cement-mortar masonry wall were created to simulate this interaction. The models were exposed to different boundary conditions to simulate wetting, drying and natural cyclic weather conditions. The results of these simulations were compared to a baseline model where the fracture model was not included. The presence of fractures increased the rate of absorption in the wetting phase and an increased rate of desorption in the drying phase. Under cyclic conditions, the result was higher peak moisture contents after rain events compared to baseline and lower moisture contents after long periods of drying. This demonstrated that detailed modelling of imperfections at the mortar-unit interface can have a definitive influence on results and conclusions from hygrothermal simulations.

Film Flows

The bidimensional flow equations of a Stokesian fluid are solved for the case of steady, incompressible, and laminar flow between two arbitrary moving surfaces separated by a small gap. The stress T22 and the shearing stress at one of the walls are coupled through nonlinear integro-differential equations, depending on the viscous function only. The form of this differential system is specified for the equations derived from the theory of phenomenological macrorheology, as developed by Reiner and Rivlin. The solution is proved to be unique under certain conditions and for adequate boundary conditions. An example is worked out in the particular case of one single non-Newtonian parameter. The problem is solved in two different ways, using an approximate analytic method and a numerical method. The conception of the latter allows to generalize it by introducing only slight modifications into the program.

This study aims at studying different configurations of the stiffened panels in order to identify robust configurations that would not be much sensitive to the imprecision in boundary conditions that can exist in experimental set ups. A numerical study is conducted to analyze the influence of the stiffener’s geometry and boundary conditions on the ultimate strength of stiffened panels under uniaxial compression. The stiffened panels with different combinations of mechanical material properties and geometric configurations are considered. The four types of stiffened panels analysed are made of mild or high tensile steel and have bar, ‘L’ and ‘U’ stiffeners. To understand the effect of finite element modelling on the ultimate strength of the stiffened panels, four types of FE models are investigated in FE analysis including 3 bays, 1/2+1+1/2 bays, 1+1 bays and 1 bay with different boundary conditions.

Non Linear

The object of this note is to indicate a numerical method for finding periodic solutions of a number of important problems in conduction of heat in which the boundary conditions are periodic in the time and may be linear or non-linear. One example is that of a circular cylinder which is heated by friction along the generators through a rotating arc of its circumference, the remainder of the surface being kept at constant temperature; here the boundary conditions are linear but mixed. Another example, which will be discussed in detail below, is that of the variation of the surface temperature of the moon during a lunation; in this case the boundary condition is non-linear. In all cases the thermal properties of the solid will be assumed to be independent of temperature. Only the semi-infinite solid will be considered here, though the method applies equally well to other cases.

Stiffened Shells

A layerwise-differential quadrature method (LW-DQM) is developed for the vibration analysis of a stiffened laminated conical shell. The circumferential stiffeners (rings) and meridional stiffeners (stringers) are treated as discrete elements. The motion equations are derived by applying the Hamilton’s principle. In order to accurately account for the thickness effects and the displacement field of stiffeners, the layerwise theory is used to discretize the equations of motion and the related boundary conditions through the thickness. Then, the equations of motion as well as the boundary condition equations are transformed into a set of algebraic equations applying the DQM in the meridional direction. The advantage of the proposed model is its applicability to thin and thick unstiffened and stiffened shells with arbitrary boundary conditions. In addition, the axial load and external pressure is applied to the shell as a ratio of the global buckling load and pressure. This study demonstrates the accuracy, stability, and the fast rate of convergence of the present method, for the buckling and vibration analyses of stiffened conical shells. The presented results are compared with those of other shell theories and a special case where the angle of conical shell approaches zero, i.e. a cylindrical shell, and excellent agreements are achieved.

Abstract The problems associated with maintaining truly fixed (zero displacement and slope) or simple (zero displacement and moment) boundary conditions in applications involving vibrating structures have led to the development of models which admit slight rotation and displacement at the boundaries. In this paper, numerical examples demonstrating the dynamics of a model for a circular plate with imperfectly clamped boundary conditions are presented. The latitude gained when using the model for estimating parameters through fit-to-data techniques is also demonstrated. Through these examples, the manner in which the model accounts for the physical manifestation of imperfectly clamped edges is illustrated, and issues regarding the use of the model in physical experiments are defined.

Fractional Reaction

In this research work, we focused on finding the numerical solution of time-fractional reaction-diffusion and another class of integro-differential equation known as the integro reaction-diffusion equation. For this, we developed a numerical scheme with the help of quasi-wavelets. The fractional term in the time direction is approximated by using the Crank–Nicolson scheme. The spatial term and the integral term present in integro reaction-diffusion are discretized and approximated with the help of quasi-wavelets. We study this model with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The discretization of these initial and boundary conditions is done with a different approach by the quasi-wavelet-based numerical method. The validity of this proposed method is tested by taking some numerical examples having an exact analytical solution. The accuracy of this method can be seen by error tables which we have drawn between the exact solution and the approximate solution. The effectiveness and validity can be seen by the graphs of the exact and numerical solutions. We conclude that this method has the desired accuracy and has a distinctive local property.
