Introduction to Numerical Integration

چکیده

Although exact analytical solutions to integrals are always desirable, such luxuries are rarely available when dealing with the real-world systems. Consequently, numerical integration has become an indispensable tool when evaluating complex designs, and it is far more common for engineers to obtain solutions numerically rather than through exact mathematical expressions. This can be especially common when processing random physical data that does not follow any sort of continuous, deterministic function. It is therefore important to gain an appreciation for the scope of numerical integration and its power to solve problems in engineering.

Nonlinear Numerical Integration Scheme in Strain Space Plasticity

Strains are applied to the integration procedure in nonlinear increments todecrease the errors arising from the linearization of plastic equations. Two deformationvectors are used to achieve this. The first vector is based on the deformations obtained bythe first iteration of the equilibrium step, and the second is acquired from the sum of thesucceeding iterations. By applying these vectors and...

NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION BY USING CHEBYSHEV WAVELET OPERATIONAL MATRIX OF INTEGRATION

In this paper, we propose a method to approximate the solution of a linear Fredholm integro-differential equation by using the Chebyshev wavelet of the first kind as basis. For this purpose, we introduce the first Chebyshev operational matrix of integration. Chebyshev wavelet approximating method is then utilized to reduce the integro-differential equation to a system of algebraic equations. Il...

Convergence of product integration method applied for numerical solution of linear weakly singular Volterra systems

We develop and apply the product integration method to a large class of linear weakly singular Volterra systems. We show that under certain sufficient conditions this method converges. Numerical implementation of the method is illustrated by a benchmark problem originated from heat conduction.

A General Rule for the Influence of Physical Damping on the Numerical Stability of Time Integration Analysis

The influence of physical damping on the numerical stability of time integration analysis is an open question since decades ago. In this paper, it is shown that, under specific very general conditions, physical damping can be disregarded when studying the numerical stability. It is also shown that, provided the specific conditions are met, analysis of structural systems involved in extremely hi...
