The analysis shows that the new interpolation function possesses higher-order continuity and polynomial consistency compared with the conven- tional NMM. The stiffness matrix of the new element is well-conditioned. The proposed method is applied for the numerical example of thin plate bending. Based on the prin- ciple of minimum potential energy, the manifold matrices and equilibrium equation are deduced. Numerical results reveal that the NMM has high interpolation accuracy and rapid convergence for the global cover function and its higher-order partial derivatives.展开更多

To develop a simple and effective method for improving the photodegradation efficiency of pollutants in surface water, we herein examined the preparation of a P25-TiO2 composite film on a cement substrate via a sol–gel method. In this case, Rhodamine B(Rh B)was employed as the target organic pollutant. The self-generated TiO2 film and the P25-TiO2 composite film were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), N2 adsorption/desorption measurements, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy(DRS). The photodegradation efficiencies of the two films were studied by Rh B removal in water under UV(ultraviolet) irradiation. Over 4 day exposure, the P25-TiO2 composite film exhibited higher photocatalytic performance than the self-generated TiO2 film. The photodegradation rate indicated that the efficiency of the P25-TiO2 composite film was enhanced by the addition of the rutile phase Degussa P25 powder. As such, cooperation between the anatase TiO2 and rutile P25 nanoparticles was beneficial for separation of the photo-induced electrons and holes. In addition, the influence of P25 doping on the P25-TiO2 composite films was evaluated. We found that up to a certain saturation point, increased doping enhanced the photodegradation ability of the composite film. Thus, we herein demonstrated that the doping of P25 powders is a simple but effective strategy to prepare a P25-TiO2 composite film on a cement substrate, and the resulting film exhibits excellent removal efficiency in the degradation of organic pollutants.展开更多

In this generalized panel method, NURBS areemployed to represent the body geometry, disturbed free surface, and to express the unknown sourcestrength distribution, on the body surface and above the free surface. Compared with commonhigher-order panel methods, it has no need of adopting local coordinates. NURBS make the geometryrepresentation of the body shape and the wave pattern more precise. Raised panels above the freesurface produce less numerical dispersion error, need less CPU consumption and are helpful andcombined with collocation-point shifting up-stream, can satisfy the radiation condition numerically.By using continuous and discrete Fourier analysis, numerical errors of this method are discussedand a general expression for the errors of numerical damping and dispersion, including the effectsof the vertical distance of singularities to the free surface, the order of singularity distributionrepresented by B-splines in panels, and collocation-point shifting is derived.展开更多

The multivariable spline element equations are derived, based on the mixed variational principle. The analysis and calculations of bending, vibration and stability of the plates on elastic foundation are presented in the paper. Because the field functions of plate on elastic foundation are assumed independently, the precision of the field variables of bending moments and displacement is high.展开更多

A NURBS surface was used to precisely represent the body geometry. Velocity potential on the body surface was described by the B-spline after the source density distribution on the body surface had been solved. The collocation approach was employed to satisfy the Neurnann boundary condition and Gaussian quadrature points were chosen as both the collocation points and the source points. The singularity was removed by a combined method, so the process of the numerical computation was non-singular. In order to verify the method proposed, the unbounded flow problems of sphere and ellipsoid, the wave-making problem of a submerged ellipsoid were chosen as computational examples. It is shown that the numerical results are in good agreement with analytical solutions and other numerical results in all cases, and sufficient accuracy of numerical solution can be reached with a small number of panels.展开更多

No one ever dared to present better results than 0(log n) complexity, and when they wish to improve, they use balanced trees, but they continue to use principles that do not impact the pre-semantic information treatment. The Heru search method has as main characteristic the total or partial substitution of the use of the binary trees, enabling the elimination of the approximate results and informing the user the desired information instead of occurrences by sampling outside the desired information. The breakdown of the 0(log n) paradigm and the refinement of the searches are achieved with the use of a set of unpublished mathematical formulas and concepts called Infinite Series with Multiple Ratios.展开更多

Spline functions have some properties of simplicity and conformality. Two 8-node quadrilateral elements have been developed using the trian- gular area coordinates and the B-net method, which can ex- actly model the quadratic field for both convex and concave quadrangles. Some appropriate examples are employed to evaluate the performance of the proposed elements. The nu- merical results show that the two spline elements can obtain solutions which are highly accurate and insensitive to mesh distortions.展开更多

Numerical examples show that the present element indeed possesses higher accuracy than the DKQ element for distorted meshes.展开更多
