An implicit integration strategy was developed and implemented for use with the material point method (MPM). An incremental-iterative solution strategy was developed around Newton’s method to solve the equations of motion with Newmark integration to update the kinematic variables. Test problems directly compared the implicit MPM solutions with those obtained using an explicit MPM code and impli...

Purpose – In this paper, a modified meshless method, as one of the numerical techniques that has recently emerged in the area of computational electromagnetics, is extended to solving time-domain wave equation. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – In space domain, the fields at the collocation points are expanded into a series of new Shepard’s functions which ha...

The morphology of telephone-cord buckles of elastic thin films can be used to evaluate the initial residual stress and interface toughness of the filmsubstrate system. The maximum out-of-plane displacement δ, the wavelength λ and amplitude A of the wave buckles can be measured in physical experiments. Through δ, λ, and A, the buckle morphology is obtained by an annular sector model established ...

In this work we deal with the numerical solution of the fluid-structure interaction problem arising in the haemodynamic environment. In particular, we consider BDF and Newmark time discretization schemes, and we study different methods for the treatment of the fluid-structure interface position, focusing on partitioned algorithms for the prescription of the continuity conditions at the fluid-st...

Seismic tomography is a technique to determine the material properties of the Earth’s subsurface based on the observation of seismograms. This can be stated as a PDE-constrained optimization problem governed by the elastic wave equation. We present a semismooth Newton-PCG method with a trust-region globalization for full-waveform seismic inversion that uses a MoreauYosida regularization to hand...

A shape design sensitivity analysis (DSA) and optimization of structural transient dynamics are proposed for the finite deformation elastoplastic materials under impact with a rigid surface. A shape variation of the structure is considered using the material derivative approach in continuum mechanics. Hyperelasticitybased multiplicatively decomposed elastoplasticity is used for the constitutive...

in this paper, the effect of bedrock inclination on seismic performance of slopes is investigated. the study was conducted based on dynamic analysis of different slopes, evaluation of the earthquake acceleration in sliding mass, and calculating the permanent displacement of the slope, using newmark sliding block. the investigation indicates that variation of the bedrock inclination may cause th...

Background: Hot flush during the climacteric period affects quality of life a mother. flushes are caused by decrease in hormone estrogen which results symptoms such as night sweats, palpitations and feelings uncertainty. If not treated it will worsen condition mother climacterium. Soy milk can reduce hot mothers.
 Objective: This study aims to determine effect giving soy reduction PMB N Ka...
