Recently, by proposing anew approach to tranting the nearly- singular integrals, Liu et al.developed a BEM to successfully solve thin structures with thethickness-to- length ratios in the micro-or nano-scales. On the otherhand, the meshless Regular Hybrid Boundary Node Method (RHBNM), whichis proposed by the current authors and based on a modified functionaland the Moving Least-Square (MLS) approximation, has very promisingapplications for engineering problems owing To its meshless natureand dimension-reduction advantage, and not involving any singular ornearly-singular Integrals. Test examples show that the RHBNM can alsobe applied readily to thin structures with high accu- Racy withoutany modification.展开更多

This study combines the DIE method with the moving Kriging interpolation to present a boundary-type meshfree method, and the corresponding formulae of the MKIBNM are derived. In the present method, the moving Kriging interpolation is applied instead of the traditional moving least-square approximation to overcome Kronecker＇s delta property, then the boundary conditions can be imposed directly and easily. To verify the accuracy and stability of the present formulation, three selected numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of MKIBNM numerically.展开更多

It is found that the satellite orbit design and the orbit injection deviation are the causes for the initial shift velocity, whereas the atmospheric drag and the sun gravitational perturbation produce the shift acceleration. To deal with these shift factors, a shift control method is put forward, through such methods as orbit variation design, orbit altitude, and inclination keeping control. The simulation experiment and practical application have proved the effectiveness of this control method.展开更多

The SBNM combines the scaled boundary equations with the moving Kriging （MK） interpolation to retain the dimensionality advantage of the former and the meshless attribute of the latter. As a result, the SBNM requires only a set of scattered nodes on the boundary, and the displacement field is approximated by using the MK interpolation technique, which possesses the 5 function property. This makes the developed method efficient and straightforward in imposing the essential boundary conditions, and no special treatment techniques are required. Besides, the SBNM works by weakening the governing differential equations in the circumferential direction and then solving the weakened equations analytically in the radial direction. Therefore, the SBNM permits an accurate representation of the singularities in the radial direction when the scaling center is located at the crack tip. Numerical examples using the SBNM for computing the SIFs are presented. Good agreements with available results in the literature are obtained.展开更多

The SHBNM represents a coupling between the hybrid displacement variational formulations and moving least squares （MLS） approximation. The main idea is to reduce the dimensionality of the former and keep the meshless advantage of the later. The rigid movement method was employed to solve the hyper-singular integrations. The ＇boundary layer effect＇, which is the main drawback of the original Hybrid BNM, was overcome by an adaptive integration scheme. The source points of the fundamental solution were arranged directly on the boundary. Thus the uncertain scale factor taken in the regular hybrid boundary node method （RHBNM） can be avoided. Numerical examples for some 3D elastic problems were given to show the characteristics. The computation results obtained by the present method are in excellent agreement with the analytical solution. The parameters that influence the performance of this method were studied through the numerical examples.展开更多

In this paper, a local differential quadrature （LDQ） method was developed by using irregular distributed nodes, where any spatial derivative at a nodal point is approximated by a linear weighted sum of the functional values of nodes in the local physical domain. The weighting coefficients in the new approach are determined by the quadrature rule with the aid of nodal interpolation. Since the proposed method directly approximates the derivative, it can be consistently well applied to linear and nonlinear problems and the mesh-free feature is still kept. Numerical examples are provided to validate the LDQ method.展开更多

Only randomly distributed nodes on the bounding surface of the domain are required and it doesn＇t need extra equations to compute internal parameters in the domain. The postprocess is very simple. Numerical examples for the solution of Poisson equation show that high convergence rates and high accuracy with a small node number are achievable.展开更多

文摘A Coupling Magneto-Electro-Elastic(MEE)Node-based Smoothed Radial Point Interpolation Method(CM-NS-RPIM)was proposed to solve the free vibration and transient responses of Functionally Graded Magneto-Electro-Elastic(FGMEE)structures.By introducing the modified Newmark method,the displacement,electrical potential and magnetic potential of the structures under transient mechanical loading were obtained.Based on G space theory and the weakened weak(W2)formulation,the equations of the multi-physics coupling problems were derived.Using triangular background elements,the free vibration and transient responses of three numerical examples were studied.Results proved that CM-NS-RPIM performed better than the standard FEM by reducing the overly-stiff of structures.Moreover,CM-NS-RPIM could reduce the number of nodes while guaranteeing the accuracy.Besides,triangular elements could be generated automatically even for complex geometries.Therefore,the effectiveness and validity of CM-NS-RPIM were demonstrated,which were valuable for the design of intelligence devices,such as energy harvesters and sensors.
