A nonlinear formulation of the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) finite-volume mixed method is developed for the large deformation analysis of static and dynamic problems. In the present MLPG large deformation formulation, the velocity gradients are interpolated independently, to avoid the time consuming differentiations of the shape functions at all integration points. The nodal values of ...

This work studies reduced order modeling (ROM) approaches to speed up the solution of variational data assimilation problems with large scale nonlinear dynamical models. It is shown that a key ingredient for a successful reduced order solution to inverse problems is the consistency of the reduced order Karush-KuhnTucker conditions with respect to the full optimality conditions. In particular, a...

Three different truly Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) methods are developed for solving 3D elasto-static problems. Using the general MLPG concept, these methods are derived through the local weak forms of the equilibrium equations, by using different test functions, namely, the Heaviside function, the Dirac delta function, and the fundamental solutions. The one with the use of the fundame...

Existing numerical methods for fractional PDEs suffer from low accuracy and inefficiency in dealing with three-dimensional problems or with long-time integrations. We develop a unified and spectrally accurate Petrov–Galerkin (PG) spectral method for a weak formulation of the general linear Fractional Partial Differential Equations (FPDEs) of the form 0D t u + d j=1 c j [a jD 2μ j x j u ] + γ u...

A meshless method based on the local Petrov-Galerkin approach is proposed for solution of static and elastodynamic problems in a homogeneous anisotropic medium. The Heaviside step function is used as the test functions in the local weak form. It is leading to derive local boundary integral equations (LBIEs). For transient elastodynamic problems the Laplace transfor technique is applied and the ...

Non-symmetric matrices may arise in the discretization of self-adjoint problems when a Petrov–Galerkin, collocation, or finite-volume method is employed. While these methods have been widely applied, this paper it shown that use non-symmetric incompatable with conservation energy elastodynamics. First, consistency between continuous forms momentum equation and examined. It linear equivalent to ...

We propose and analyse a fully discrete Petrov–Galerkin method with quadrature, for solving second-order, variable coefficient, elliptic boundary value problems on rectangular domains. In our scheme, the trial space consists of C2 splines of degree r 3, the test space consists of C0 splines of degree r − 2, and we use composite (r − 1)-point Gauss quadrature. We show existence and uniqueness of...
