We present a new class of adaptivity algorithms for time-dependent partial differential equations (PDE) that combines adaptive higher-order finite elements (hp-FEM) in space with arbitrary (embedded, higher-order, implicit) Runge-Kutta methods in time. Weak formulation is only created for the stationary residual of the equation, and the Runge-Kutta method is supplied via its Butcher’s table. Ar...

Enormous amount of real time robot arm research work is still being carried out in different aspects, especially on dynamics of robotic motion and their governing equations. Taha [5] discussed the dynamics of robot arm problems. Research in this field is still on-going and its applications are massive. This is due to its nature of extending accuracy in order to determine approximate solutions a...

In this paper, numerical spline-based differential quadrature is presented for solving the boundary and initial value problems, and its application is used to solve the fixed rectangular membrane vibration equation. For the time integration of the problem, the Runge–Kutta and spline-based differential quadrature methods have been applied. The Runge–Kutta method was unstable for solving the prob...

A modified Boris-like integration, in which the spatial coordinate is the independent variable, is derived. This spatial-Boris integration method is useful for beam simulations, in which the independent variable is often the distance along the beam. The new integration method is second order accurate, requires only one force calculation per particle per step, and preserves conserved quantities ...
