In this article a fractional step θ-method is described and studied for the approximation of time dependent viscoelastic fluid flow equations, using the Johnson-Segalman constitutive model. The θ-method implementation allows the velocity and pressure approximations to be decoupled from the stress, reducing the number of unknowns resolved at each step of the method. The constitutive equation is ...

Abstract. A new residual local projection stabilized method (RELP) is proposed as a result of an enriched Petrov-Galerkin strategy for the Oseen problem. The P 1 × Pl pairs, l = 0, 1 with continuous or discontinuous pressures, are made stable by enhancing them with solutions of residual-based local Oseen problems and performing a static condensation procedure afterward. This process does not in...

In this paper the meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method is implemented to study the buckling of isotropic cylindrical shells under axial load. Displacement field equations, based on Donnell and first order shear deformation theory, are taken into consideration. The set of governing equations of motion are numerically solved by the MLPG method in which according to a semi-inverse method, ...

We propose a Legendre-Petrov-Galerkin Chebyshev spectral collocation method for initial value problems (IVPs) of second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The is applied to time discretization and the term dealt with method. scheme results in simple algebraic system by choosing appropriate basis functions. Optimal error estimates $ L^2 $-norm single multiple interval method...
