Abstract This paper presents a high-order coupled compact integrated RBF (CC IRBF) approximation based domain decomposition (DD) algorithm for the discretisation of second-order differential problems. Several Schwarz DD algorithms, including one-level additive/ multiplicative and two-level additive/ multiplicative/ hybrid, are employed. The CCIRBF based DD algorithms are analysed with different mesh sizes, numbers of subdomains and overlap sizes for Poisson problems. Our convergence analysis shows that the CCIRBF two-level multiplicative version is the most effective algorithm among various schemes employed here. Especially, the present CCIRBF two-level method converges quite rapidly even when the domain is divided into many subdomains, which shows great… More >

Abstract This paper proposes the free vibration analysis of Double-Walled Carbon NanoTubes (DWCNTs). A continuum elastic three-dimensional shell model is used for natural frequency investigation of simply supported DWCNTs. The 3D shell method is compared with beam analyses to show the applicability limits of 1D beam models. The effect of van der Waals interaction between the two cylinders is shown for different Carbon NanoTube (CNT) lengths and vibration modes. Results give the van der Waals interaction effect in terms of frequency values. In order to apply the 3D shell continuum model, DWCNTs are defined as two concentric isotropic cylinders (with an… More >

Abstract We transform the Yamabe equation on a ball of arbitrary dimension greater than two into a nonlinear singularly boundary value problem on the unit interval [0,1]. Then we apply Lie-group shooting method (LGSM) to search a missing initial condition of slope through a weighting factor r ∈ (0,1). The best r is determined by matching the right-end boundary condition. When the initial slope is available we can apply the group preserving scheme (GPS) to calculate the solution, which is highly accurate. By LGSM we obtain precise radial symmetric solutions of the Yamabe equation. These results are useful in demonstrating the… More >
