This paper considers a family of spatially discrete approximations, including boundary treatment, to initial boundary value problems in evolving bounded domains. The presented method is based on the Cartesian grid embedded Finite-Difference method, which was initially introduced by Abarbanel and Ditkowski (ICASE Report No. 96-8, 1996; and J. Comput. Phys. 133(2), 1997) and Ditkowski (Ph.D. thes...

A new kind of finite difference method is presented for solving two point boundary value problems. The method is based on rational function approximation technique and its development and analysis is based on Taylor series and binomial expansions. Local truncation error of the method is discussed. The method is tested on model problems and the numerical results are presented. The numerical resu...

This paper considers a family of spatially discrete approximations, including boundary treatment, to initial boundary value problems in evolving bounded domains. The presented method is based on the Cartesian grid embedded Finite-Difference method, which was initially introduced by Abarbanel and Ditkowski [24] [25], for initial boundary value problems on constant irregular domains. We perform a...

This work is the numerical analysis and computational companion of the paper by Kamgang and Sallet (Math. Biosc. 213 (2008), pp. 1–12) where threshold conditions for epidemiological models and the global stability of the disease-free equilibrium (DFE) are studied. We establish a discrete counterpart of the main continuous result that guarantees the global asymptotic stability (GAS) of the DFE f...

This paper deals with the singularly perturbed boundary value problem for a linear second order differential-difference equation of the convection-diffusion type with small delay parameter. A fourth order finite difference method is developed for solving singularly perturbed differential difference equations. To handle the delay argument, we construct a special type of mesh, so that the term co...

sandwich sheet rolling process is investigated using an analytical method (slab method) and a numerical method (finite element method). the horizontal stress distribution in the layers, the rolling pressure along the contact interface and the neutral point between the roll and the sheet are investigated. then the affects of the parameters such as the friction between the sheet and the roll, she...

Particle-in-cell (PIC) methods allow the study of plasma behavior by computing the trajectories of finite-size particles under the action of external and self-consistent electric and magnetic fields defined in a grid of points. In this work, the Finite Element Method (FEM) is used in order to obtain the self-consistent fields. An electrostatic PIC-FEM computational code for simulation of one-di...

The impulse sources are heat impulses or force impulses lengthways the arrangements. They are represented mathematically by Delta functions and Dirac impulses of finite duration. Conventional fitting conditions are compared hereby. The successive time integration of the PDE provides a system of two equations. A Dirac impulse changes into a Ramp function this way and the Delta function becomes t...

The vibration pattern of a rotor system reflects the mechanical parameter changes in the system. Hence, the use of vibration monitoring is considered as a possible means of detecting the presence and growth of the cracks. In this paper, a pattern search based method for shaft crack detection is proposed and described which formulates the shaft crack detection as an optimization problem by means...

condition monitoring of bldc motors due to their important applications is gaining more and more significance. rotor eccentricity is one of the most important sources of faults in these motors. up to now, detection methods of this fault under nonstationary conditions are limited to complicated and time-consuming methods using wavelets and cohen class algorithms which are difficult to implement ...
