    Abstract Two-dimensional wavelet-based numerical approximation using Hermite cubic spline wavelet on the interval (HCSWI) is proposed to solve stress intensity factors (SIFs) of plate structures. The good localization property of wavelets is used to approximate displacement fields by multi-scale bases of HCSWI. Example computations are performed for plates with a central crack and double edge cracks. The numerical results prove that, compared with the conventional finite element method and the analytical solutions, the new procedure are efficient in both its accuracy and its reduction of degree of freedoms (DOFs).

    Abstract An acceleration of the particle-based incompressible fluid flow simulations on GPU using CUDA is presented. The particle method is based on the MPS (Moving Particle Semi-implicit) scheme using logarithmic-type weighting function to stabilize the spurious oscillatory solutions for the pressure fields which are governed by Poisson equation. The standard MPS scheme is widely utilized as a particle strategy for the free surface flow, the problem of moving boundary, multi-physics/multi-scale ones, and so forth. Numerical results demonstrate the workability and the validity of the present approach through dam-breaking flow problem. More >

    The Jordan Structure of Residual Dynamics Used to Solve Linear Inverse Problems

    Chein-Shan Liu1, Su-Ying Zhang2, Satya N. Atluri3
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.88, No.1, pp. 29-48, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.088.029
    Abstract With a detailed investigation of n linear algebraic equations Bx=b, we find that the scaled residual dynamics for y∈Sn−1 is equipped with four structures: the Jordan dynamics, the rotation group SO(n), a generalized Hamiltonian formulation, as well as a metric bracket system. Therefore, it is the first time that we can compute the steplength used in the iterative method by a novel algorithm based on the Jordan structure. The algorithms preserving the length of y are developed as the structure preserving algorithms (SPAs), which can significantly accelerate the convergence speed and are robust enough against the noise More >

    Precise Evaluation of Vehicles Emission in Urban Traffic Using Multi-agent-based Traffic Simulator MATES

    Hideki Fujii1, Shinobu Yoshimura1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.88, No.1, pp. 49-64, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.088.049
    Abstract Recently, global warming issues have been discussed all over the world. Of the total amount of CO2 emitted in Japan, a transportation sector is responsible for 20%. In the transportation sector, 90% of the emission is due to road traffic. This amount must be reduced drastically to realize a low-carbon society. To do so, various measures have been discussed, and the effects of the measures must be estimated quantitatively. In conventional measurement methods, the amount of vehicle emission is simply calculated by multiplying travel distance or gasoline consumption by a specified emission coefficient. Such an approach… More >
