    An Improved Hierarchical ACA Technique for Sound Absorbent Materials

    A. Brancati1, M. H. Aliabadi1, A. Milazzo2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.78, No.1, pp. 1-24, 2011, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2011.078.001
    Abstract This paper presents an improved adaptive cross approximation (ACA) approach developed in conjunction with the Hierarchical format matrix and the GMRES solver. A novel scheme to generate the cluster tree (based upon preliminary considerations of the prescribed boundary conditions) and an improved ACA algorithm (approximating the system matrix for mixed Robin conditions) are described. The asymptotic smoothness property of a kernel generated by a linear combination of two asymptotic smooth kernels is demonstrated. Numerical results show the new approach to be up to 50% faster than the conventional ACA approach. More >

    Green Tensor for a General Anisotropic Slip Condition

    A. Sellier, N. Ghalia
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.78, No.1, pp. 25-50, 2011, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2011.078.025
    Abstract The Green tensor complying with anisotropic slip conditions at the surface of a plane, impermeable, motionless and slipping wall is theoretically obtained and an efficient numerical method is proposed to accurately compute at a very reasonable cpu time cost each of its Cartesian component. The accuracy of the advocated numerical strategy is tested against the Maple Software and the employed procedure makes it possible to calculate the Green tensor for a non-isotropic slip condition at a cpu time cost comparable with the one needed for the less complicated isotropic Navier condition.

    Wave Propagation in Unsaturated Poroelastic Media: Boundary Integral Formulation and Three-dimensional Fundamental Solution

    P. Maghoul1, B. Gatmiri1,2, D. Duhamel1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.78, No.1, pp. 51-76, 2011, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2011.078.051
    Abstract This paper aims at obtaining boundary integral formulations as well as three dimensional(3D) fundamental solutions for unsaturated soils under dynamic loadings for the first time. The boundary integral equations are derived via the use of the weighted residuals method in a way that permits an easy discretization and implementation in a Boundary Element code. Also, the associated 3D fundamental solutions for such deformable porous medium are derived in Laplace transform domain using the method of Hérmander. The derived results are verified analytically by comparison with the previously introduced corresponding fundamental solutions in elastodynamic limiting case. More >
