A time-domain, finite element–boundary integral (FE–BI) method is presented for analyzing electromagnetic (EM) scattering from two-dimensional (2-D) inhomogeneous objects. The scheme’s finite-element component expands transverse fields in terms of a pair of orthogonal vector basis functions and is coupled to its boundary integral component in such a way that the resultant finite element mass ma...

This paper presents a comparative study on the newly introduced weak Galerkin finite element methods (WGFEMs) with the widely accepted discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods (DGFEMs) and the classical mixed finite element methods (MFEMs) for solving second-order elliptic boundary value problems. We examine the differences, similarities, and connection among these methods in scheme formul...

this paper presents the application of radial basis neural networks to the development of a novel method for the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of synchronous generators. in the proposed scheme, flux linkage analysis is used to reach a decision. probabilistic neural network (pnn) and discrete wavelet transform (dwt) are used in design of fault diagnosis system. pnn as main part of thi...

In this talk we consider the finite element discretization of the Immersed Boundary Method (IBM) introduced by Peskin [6] for fluid-structure interaction problems. With respect to the original finite differences discretization the finite element approach can take advantage from the variational formulation in handling the Dirac delta function which takes into account the presence of the structur...

impact responses of rectangular composite plates with embedded shape memory alloy (sma) wires are investigated in the present research. the plate is assumed to be placed in a thermal environment; so that in contrast to the available researches in the field, the shape memory and ferroelasticity effects have to be considered also in addition to the superelasticity. the governing equations are der...

A hybrid scheme called finite element method of lines is proposed and described for modelling and analysis of generalized computational electromagnetic problems with emphasis on a number of irregular waveguide examples. This new technique is developed by combining a finite element method with a method of lines so that it can handle not only irregular composite geometry but also maintain high ac...

nonstandard finite difference schemes for the black-scholes partial differential equation preserving the positivity property are proposed. computationally simple schemes are derived by using a nonlocal approximation in the reaction term of the black-scholes equation. unlike the standard methods, the solutions of new proposed schemes are positive and free of the spurious oscillations.
