Download or read book Mimetic Discretization Methods written by Jose E. Castillo and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-01-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To help solve physical and engineering problems, mimetic or compatible algebraic discretization methods employ discrete constructs to mimic the continuous identities and theorems found in vector calculus. Mimetic Discretization Methods focuses on the recent mimetic discretization method co-developed by the first author. Based on the Castillo-Grone operators, this simple mimetic discretization method is invariably valid for spatial dimensions no greater than three. The book also presents a numerical method for obtaining corresponding discrete operators that mimic the continuum differential and flux-integral operators, enabling the same order of accuracy in the interior as well as the domain boundary. After an overview of various mimetic approaches and applications, the text discusses the use of continuum mathematical models as a way to motivate the natural use of mimetic methods. The authors also offer basic numerical analysis material, making the book suitable for a course on numerical methods for solving PDEs. The authors cover mimetic differential operators in one, two, and three dimensions and provide a thorough introduction to object-oriented programming and C++. In addition, they describe how their mimetic methods toolkit (MTK)-available online-can be used for the computational implementation of mimetic discretization methods. The text concludes with the application of mimetic methods to structured nonuniform meshes as well as several case studies. Compiling the authors' many concepts and results developed over the years, this book shows how to obtain a robust numerical solution of PDEs using the mimetic discretization approach. It also helps readers compare alternative methods in the literature.

Download or read book Advances in Discretization Methods written by Giulio Ventura and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gathers selected contributions on emerging research work presented at the International Conference eXtended Discretization MethodS (X-DMS), held in Ferrara in September 2015. It highlights the most relevant advances made at the international level in the context of expanding classical discretization methods, like finite elements, to the numerical analysis of a variety of physical problems. The improvements are intended to achieve higher computational efficiency and to account for special features of the solution directly in the approximation space and/or in the discretization procedure. The methods described include, among others, partition of unity methods (meshfree, XFEM, GFEM), virtual element methods, fictitious domain methods, and special techniques for static and evolving interfaces. The uniting feature of all contributions is the direct link between computational methodologies and their application to different engineering areas.

Download or read book Mimetic Discretizations for Maxwell Equations and the Equations of Magnetic Diffusion written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors construct reliable finite difference methods for approximating the solutions Maxwell's equations and equations of magnetic field diffusion using discrete analogs of differential operators that satisfy the identities and theorems of vector and tensor calculus in discrete form. These methods mimic many fundamental properties of the underlying physical problem including the conservation laws, the symmetries in the solution, the nondivergence of particular vector fields and they do not have spurious modes. The constructed method can be applied in case of strongly discontinuous properties of the media for nonorthogonal and nonsmooth computational grids.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents the Gradient Discretisation Method (GDM), which is a unified convergence analysis framework for numerical methods for elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations. The results obtained by the GDM cover both stationary and transient models; error estimates are provided for linear (and some non-linear) equations, and convergence is established for a wide range of fully non-linear models (e.g. Leray–Lions equations and degenerate parabolic equations such as the Stefan or Richards models). The GDM applies to a diverse range of methods, both classical (conforming, non-conforming, mixed finite elements, discontinuous Galerkin) and modern (mimetic finite differences, hybrid and mixed finite volume, MPFA-O finite volume), some of which can be built on very general meshes.span style="" ms="" mincho";mso-bidi-font-family:="" the="" core="" properties="" and="" analytical="" tools="" required="" to="" work="" within="" gdm="" are="" stressed,="" it="" is="" shown="" that="" scheme="" convergence="" can="" often="" be="" established="" by="" verifying="" a="" small="" number="" of="" properties.="" scope="" some="" featured="" techniques="" results,="" such="" as="" time-space="" compactness="" theorems="" (discrete="" aubin–simon,="" discontinuous="" ascoli–arzela),="" goes="" beyond="" gdm,="" making="" them="" potentially="" applicable="" numerical="" schemes="" not="" (yet)="" known="" fit="" into="" this="" framework.span style="font-family:" ms="" mincho";mso-bidi-font-family:="" this="" monograph="" is="" intended="" for="" graduate="" students,="" researchers="" and="" experts="" in="" the="" field="" of="" numerical="" analysis="" partial="" differential="" equations./ppiiiiibr/i/i/i/i/i/p

Download or read book Virtual Element Methods in Engineering Sciences written by Peter Wriggers and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-29 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the virtual element method (VEM) for engineering applications, focusing on its application in solid mechanics. Starting with a continuum mechanics background, the book establishes the necessary foundation for understanding the subsequent chapters. It then delves into the VEM's Ansatz functions and projection techniques, both for solids and the Poisson equation, which are fundamental to the method. The book explores the virtual element formulation for elasticity problems, offering insights into its advantages and capabilities. Moving beyond elasticity, the VEM is extended to problems in dynamics, enabling the analysis of dynamic systems with accuracy and efficiency. The book also covers the virtual element formulation for finite plasticity, providing a framework for simulating the behavior of materials undergoing plastic deformation. Furthermore, the VEM is applied to thermo-mechanical problems, where it allows for the investigation of coupled thermal and mechanical effects. The book dedicates a significant portion to the virtual elements for fracture processes, presenting techniques to model and analyze fractures in engineering structures. It also addresses contact problems, showcasing the VEM's effectiveness in dealing with contact phenomena. The virtual element method's versatility is further demonstrated through its application in homogenization, offering a means to understand the effective behavior of composite materials and heterogeneous structures. Finally, the book concludes with the virtual elements for beams and plates, exploring their application in these specific structural elements. Throughout the book, the authors emphasize the advantages of the virtual element method over traditional finite element discretization schemes, highlighting its accuracy, flexibility, and computational efficiency in various engineering contexts.
