Abstract The Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS) is investigated for 3D potential problem in the case when the source points are located along the boundary of the domain of the original problem and coincide with the collocation points. This generates singularities at the boundary collocation points, which are eliminated in different ways. The (weak) singularities due to the singularity of the fundamental solution at the origin are eliminated by using approximate but continuous fundamental solution instead of the original one (regularization). The (stronger) singularities due to the singularity of the normal derivatives of the fundamental solution are eliminated by solving special… More >

Abstract The present paper starts with Mindlin’s theory of the strain gradient elasticity, based on three additional constants for homogeneous materials (besides the Lamé’s constants), to arrive at a proposition made by Aifantis with just one additional parameter. Aifantis’characteristic material length g2, as it multiplies the Laplacian of the Cauchy stresses, may be seen as a penalty parameter to enforce interelement displacement gradient compatibility also in the case of a material in which the microstructure peculiarities are in principle not too relevant, but where high stress gradients occur. It is shown that the hybrid finite element formulation – as proposed by… More >

Abstract In this study, a projection method for the monolithic interaction system of an incompressible fluid and a structure using a new algebraic splitting is proposed. The proposed method splits the monolithic equation system into the equilibrium equations and the pressure Poisson equation (PPE) algebraically using the intermediate velocity in the nonlinear iterations. Since the proposed equilibrium equation satisfies the interface condition, the proposed method is strongly coupled. Moreover, the proposed PPE enforces the incompressibility constraint. Different from previous studies, the proposed algebraic splitting never generates any Schur complement. The proposed method is applied to a channel with a flexible flap,… More >
