The space–time radial polynomial series function is developed for spatial and temporal discretization of the government equation within the space–time domain. Because boundary and initial data are assigned on the space–time boundaries, the numerical solution of

A boundary element method formulation based on the Caputo derivative for the solution of the anomalous diffusion problem Eng. Anal. Bound. Elem. (IF 2.884) Pub Date : 2020-10-30 J.A.M. Carrer; B.S. Solheid; J. Trevelyan; M. Seaid
This work presents a boundary element method formulation for the solution of the anomalous diffusion problem. By keeping the fractional time derivative as it appears in the governing differential equation of the problem, and by employing a Weighted Residuals Method approach with the steady state fundamental solution for anisotropic media playing the role of the weighting function, one obtains the boundary

Three dimensional modified BEM analysis of forward scattering problems in elastic solids Eng. Anal. Bound. Elem. (IF 2.884) Pub Date : 2020-10-30 Chen Yang; Bin Wang; Zhenghua Qian
In this paper, a three-dimensional modified boundary element method (BEM) is proposed to solve the guided wave scattering problem by cavity-type flaws in an infinite plate. The aim of modification is to correct the artificial scattering introduced by inevitable modal truncation at far-field in the traditional BEM model. The far-field wave displacement fields beyond the BEM model are assumed to be the

An adaptive sparse kernel technique in greedy algorithm framework to simulate an anomalous solute transport model Eng. Anal. Bound. Elem. (IF 2.884) Pub Date : 2020-10-17 Marzieh Raei; Hadi Roohani Ghehsareh; Ardelio Galletti
In the current work, an efficient and powerful computational technique is implemented to simulate an anomalous mobile-immobile solute transport process. The process is mathematically modelled as a time-fractional mobile-immobile diffusion equation in the sense of Riemann-Liouville derivative. Firstly, an implicit time integration procedure is used to semi-discretize the model in the time direction

Boundary moving least squares method for 3D elasticity problems Eng. Anal. Bound. Elem. (IF 2.884) Pub Date : 2020-10-17 Zhentian Huang; Dong Lei; Zi Han; Ji Lin
This paper presents a boundary moving least squares method (BMLS) for solving 3D linear elasticity problems. In the proposed method, moving least squares interpolant is used to construct the 1D shape function employing the boundary discrete points in each axis. Then, the Kronecker product is introduced to generate the tensor product points in the regular region coving the problem domain, which simply
