Previous successful conferences devoted to Boundary Element Techniques were held in London, UK (1999), New Jersey, USA (2001), Beijing, China (2002), Granada, Spain (2003), Lisbon, Portugal (2004), Montreal, Canada (2005), Paris, France (2006), Naples, Italy (2007), Seville, Spain (2008) and Athens, Greece (2009). The present volume is a collection of edited papers that were accepted for presentation at the Boundary Element Techniques Conference held at the Maritim Hotel Berlin, Germany, during 12th-14th July 2010. Research papers received from 18 counties formed the basis for the Technical Program. The themes considered for the technical program included solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, potential theory, composite materials, fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, contact and wear, optimization, heat transfer, dynamics and vibrations, acoustics and geomechanics. A symposium “Recent Advances in Theory and Application of BEM” was organized at the conference in honor of Professor Zhenhan Yao (Tsinghua University, Beijing. PR China), who is working on BEM for many years and has made many significant contributions to the Computational Mechanics especially to BEM. We would like thanks the organizers of the symposium (Prof. Ch. Zhang, Prof. C.Y.Dong and Prof. Y.H.Liu) for their effort. The conference organizers would also like to express their appreciation to the International Scientific Advisory Board for their assistance in supporting and promoting the objectives of the meeting and for their assistance in the form of reviews of the submitted papers.

    Technical Article Overview of Meshless Methods Abstract— This article presents an overview of the main develop- ments of the mesh-free idea. A review of the main publications on the application of the meshless methods in Computational Electromagnetics is also given. I. INTRODUCTION Several meshless methods have been proposed over the last decade. Although these methods usually all bear the generic label “meshless”, not all are truly meshless. Some, such as those based on the Collocation Point technique, have no associated mesh but others, such as those based on the Galerkin method, actually do Fig. 1.

  • Boundary Particle Method with High-Order Trefftz Functions
    Copyright © 2010 Tech Science Press CMC, vol.13, no.3, pp.201-217, 2010 Boundary Particle Method with High-Order Trefftz Functions Wen Chen1;2, Zhuo-Jia Fu1;3 and Qing-Hua Qin3 Abstract: This paper presents high-order Trefftz functions for some commonly used differential operators. These Trefftz functions are then used to construct boundary particle method for solving inhomogeneous problems with the boundary discretization only, i.e., no inner nodes and mesh are required in forming the final linear equation system. It should be mentioned that the presented Trefftz functions are nonsingular and avoids the singularity occurred in the fundamental solution and, in particular, have no problem-dependent parameter. Numerical experiments demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the present scheme in the solution of inhomogeneous problems. Keywords: High-order Trefftz functions, boundary particle method, inhomoge- neous problems, meshfree 1 Introduction Since the first paper on Trefftz method was presented by Trefftz (1926), its math- ematical theory was extensively studied by Herrera (1980) and many other re- searchers. In 1995 a special issue on Trefftz method, was published in the jour- nal of Advances in Engineering Software for celebrating its 70 years of develop- ment [Kamiya and Kita (1995)]. Qin (2000, 2005) presented an overview of the Trefftz finite element and its application in various engineering problems. The Trefftz method employs T-complete functions, which satisfies the governing dif- ferential operators and is widely applied to potential problems [Cheung, Jin and Zienkiewicz (1989)], two-dimensional elastic problems [Zielinski and Zienkiewicz (1985)], transient heat conduction [Jirousek and Qin (1996)], viscoelasticity prob- 1 Center for Numerical Simulation Software in Engineering and Sciences, Department of Engineer- ing Mechanics, Hohai University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, P.R.China 2 Corresponding author.

  • Symmetric Boundary Knot Method
    Symmetric boundary knot method W. Chen* Simula Research Laboratory, P. O. Box. 134, 1325 Lysaker, Norway E-mail: [email protected] (submitted 28 Sept. 2001, revised 25, Feb. 2002) Abstract The boundary knot method (BKM) is a recent boundary-type radial basis function (RBF) collocation scheme for general PDE’s. Like the method of fundamental solution (MFS), the RBF is employed to approximate the inhomogeneous terms via the dual reciprocity principle. Unlike the MFS, the method uses a non-singular general solution instead of a singular fundamental solution to evaluate the homogeneous solution so as to circumvent the controversial artificial boundary outside the physical domain. The BKM is meshfree, super-convergent, integration-free, very easy to learn and program. The original BKM, however, loses symmetricity in the presence of mixed boundary. In this study, by analogy with Fasshauer’s Hermite RBF interpolation, we developed a symmetric BKM scheme. The accuracy and efficiency of the symmetric BKM are also numerically validated in some 2-D and 3-D Helmholtz and diffusion-reaction problems under complicated geometries. Keyword: boundary knot method; radial basis function; meshfree; method of fundamental solution; dual reciprocity BEM; symmetricity * This research is supported by Norwegian Research Council. 1 1.Introduction In recent years much effort has been devoted to developing a variety of meshfree schemes for the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDE’s). The driving force behind the scene is that the mesh-based methods such as the standard FEM and BEM often require prohibitive computational effort to mesh or remesh in handling high- dimensional, moving boundary, and complex-shaped boundary problems.

  • A Self-Singularity-Capturing Scheme for Fractional Differential Equations
    A Self-Singularity-Capturing Scheme for Fractional Differential Equations Jorge L. Suzukia,b and Mohsen Zayernouria,c aDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, USA bDepartment of Computational Mathematics, Science and Engineering, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, USA cDepartment of Probability and Statistics, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, USA ARTICLE HISTORY Compiled April 30, 2020 ABSTRACT We develop a two-stage computational framework for robust and accurate time- integration of multi-term linear/nonlinear fractional differential equations. In the first stage, we formulate a self-singularity-capturing scheme, given avail- able/observable data for diminutive time, experimentally obtained or sampled from an approximate numerical solution utilizing a fine grid nearby the initial time. The fractional differential equation provides the necessary knowledge/insight on how the hidden singularity can bridge between the initial and the subsequent short-time so- lution data. In the second stage, we utilize the multi-singular behavior of solution in a variety of numerical methods, without resorting to making any ad-hoc/uneducated guesses for the solution singularities. Particularly, we employed an implicit finite- difference method, where the captured singularities, in the first stage, are taken into account through some Lubich-like correction terms, leading to an accuracy of order O(∆t3−α). We show that this novel framework can control the error even in the presence of strong multi-singularities.

  • Singular Boundary Method for Heat Conduction in Layered Materials
    Copyright © 2011 Tech Science Press CMC, vol.24, no.1, pp.1-14, 2011 Singular Boundary Method for Heat Conduction in Layered Materials H. Htike1;2, W. Chen1;2;3 and Y. Gu1;2 Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the application of the singular boundary method (SBM) to two-dimensional problems of steady-state heat conduction in isotropic bimaterials. A domain decomposition technique is employed where the bimaterial is decomposed into two subdomains, and in each subdomain, the solu- tion is approximated separately by an SBM-type expansion. The proposed method is tested and compared on several benchmark test problems, and its relative merits over the other boundary discretization methods, such as the method of fundamental solution (MFS) and the boundary element method (BEM), are also discussed. Keywords: Singular boundary method, origin intensity factor, heat conduction, bimaterials, meshless. 1 Introduction During machining processes, heat is a source that strongly influences the tool per- formance, such as tool wear, tool life, surface quality as well as process quality. The layers of material provide a barrier for the intensive heat flow from the con- tact area into the substrate material. Thus, a clear understanding of the temperature distribution in layered materials is very useful and important [Atluri (2005); Atluri, Liu, and Han (2006);Chang, Liu, and Chang (2010);Chen and Liu (2001)]. The method of fundamental solutions (MFS) [Karageorghis (1992);Fairweather and Karageorghis (1998);Chen, Golberg, and Hon (1998)] is a successful technique for the solution of some elliptic boundary value problems in engineering applica- tions. It is applicable when a fundamental solution of the operator of the governing equation is known.

  • Fast Boundary Knot Method for Solving Axisymmetric Helmholtz Problems with High Wave Number
    Copyright © 2013 Tech Science Press CMES, vol.94, no.6, pp.485-505, 2013 Fast Boundary Knot Method for Solving Axisymmetric Helmholtz Problems with High Wave Number J. Lin1, W. Chen 1;2, C. S. Chen3, X. R. Jiang4 Abstract: To alleviate the difficulty of dense matrices resulting from the bound- ary knot method, the concept of the circulant matrix has been introduced to solve axi-symmetric Helmholtz problems. By placing the collocation points in a circular form on the surface of the boundary, the resulting matrix of the BKM has the block structure of a circulant matrix, which can be decomposed into a series of smaller matrices and solved efficiently. In particular, for the Helmholtz equation with high wave number, a large number of collocation points is required to achieve desired accuracy. In this paper, we present an efficient circulant boundary knot method algorithm for solving Helmholtz problems with high wave number. Keywords: boundary knot method, Helmholtz problem, circulant matrix, ax- isymmetric. 1 Introduction The boundary knot method (BKM) [Chen and Tanaka (2002); Chen (2002); Chen and Hon (2003); Wang, Ling, and Chen (2009); Wang, Chen, and Jiang (2010); Zhang and Wang (2012); Zheng, Chen, and Zhang (2013)] has been widely ap- plied for solving certain classes of boundary value problems. Instead of using the singular fundamental solution as the basis function in the method of funda- mental solutions (MFS) [Fairweather and Karageorghis (1998); Fairweather, Kara- georghis, and Martin (2003); Alves and Antunes (2005); Chen, Cho, and Golberg (2009); Drombosky, Meyer, and Ling (2009); Gu, Young, and Fan (2009); Lin, Gu, and Young (2010); Lin, Chen, and Wang (2011)], the BKM uses the non-singular general solution for the approximation of the solution.

  • Effective Condition Number for Boundary Knot Method
    Copyright © 2009 Tech Science Press CMC, vol.12, no.1, pp.57-70, 2009 Effective Condition Number for Boundary Knot Method F.Z. Wang1, L. Ling2 and W. Chen1;3 Abstract: This study makes the first attempt to apply the effective condition number (ECN) to the stability analysis of the boundary knot method (BKM). We find that the ECN is a superior criterion over the traditional condition number. The main difference between ECN and the traditional condition numbers is in that the ECN takes into account the right hand side vector to estimates system stability. Numerical results show that the ECN is roughly inversely proportional to the nu- merical accuracy. Meanwhile, using the effective condition number as an indicator, one can fine-tune the user-defined parameters (without the knowledge of exact so- lution) to ensure high numerical accuracy from the BKM. Keywords: boundary knot method, effective condition number, traditional con- dition number. 1 Introduction In recent years, a variety of boundary meshless methods have been introduced, such as the method of fundamental solutions (MFS)[Fairweather and Karageorghis (1998);Young, Tsai, Lin, and Chen (2006);Chen, Karageorghis, and Smyrlis (2008)], boundary knot method (BKM) [Chen and Tanaka (2002);Chen and Hon (2003);Wang, Chen, and Jiang (2009)], boundary collocation method [Chen, Chang, Chen, and Lin (2002);Chen, Chen, Chen, and Yeh (2004)], boundary node method [Mukher- jee and Mukherjee (1997);Zhang, Yao, and Li (2002)], and regularized meshless method [Young, Chen, and Lee (2005);Young, Chen, Chen, and Kao (2007);Chen, Kao, and Chen (2009)]. All these methods are of the boundary type numerical technique in which only the boundary knots are required in the numerical solution of homogeneous problems.

    OPTIMAL ADDITIVE SCHWARZ PRECONDITIONING FOR ADAPTIVE 2D IGA BOUNDARY ELEMENT METHODS THOMAS FUHRER,¨ GREGOR GANTNER, DIRK PRAETORIUS, AND STEFAN SCHIMANKO Abstract. We define and analyze (local) multilevel diagonal preconditioners for isogeo- metric boundary elements on locally refined meshes in two dimensions. Hypersingular and weakly-singular integral equations are considered. We prove that the condition number of the preconditioned systems of linear equations is independent of the mesh-size and the re- finement level. Therefore, the computational complexity, when using appropriate iterative solvers, is optimal. Our analysis is carried out for closed and open boundaries and numerical examples confirm our theoretical results. 1. Introduction In the last decade, the isogeometric analysis (IGA) had a strong impact on the field of scientific computing and numerical analysis. We refer, e.g., to the pioneering work [HCB05] and to [CHB09, BdVBSV14] for an introduction to the field. The basic idea is to utilize the same ansatz functions for approximations as are used for the description of the geometry by some computer aided design (CAD) program. Here, we consider the case, where the geometry is represented by rational splines. For certain problems, where the fundamental solution is known, the boundary element method (BEM) is attractive since CAD programs usually only provide a parametrization of the boundary ∂Ω and not of the volume Ω itself. Isogeometric BEM (IGABEM) has first been considered for 2D BEM in [PGK+09] and for 3D BEM in [SSE+13]. We refer to [SBTR12, PTC13, SBLT13, NZW+17] for numerical experiments, to [HR10, TM12, MZBF15, DHP16, DHK+18, DKSW18] for fast IGABEM based on wavelets, fast multipole, -matrices resp.

  • Potential Problems by Singular Boundary Method Satisfying Moment Condition
    Copyright © 2009 Tech Science Press CMES, vol.54, no.1, pp.65-85, 2009 Potential Problems by Singular Boundary Method Satisfying Moment Condition Wen Chen1;2, Zhuojia Fu1 and Xing Wei1 Abstract: This study investigates the singular boundary method (SBM), a novel boundary-type meshless method, in the numerical solution of potential problems. Our finding is that the SBM can not obtain the correct solution in some tested cases, in particular, in the cases whose solution includes a constant term. To rem- edy this drawback, this paper presents an improved SBM formulation which is a linear sum of the fundamental solution adding in a constant term. It is stressed that this SBM approximation with the additional constant term has to satisfy the so-called moment condition in order to guarantees the uniqueness of the solution. The efficiency and accuracy of the present SBM scheme are demonstrated through detailed comparisons with the exact solution, the method of fundamental solutions and the regularized meshless method. Keywords: Singular boundary method, fundamental solution, singularity at the origin, moment condition, potential problem 1 Introduction Without a need of harassing mesh generation in the traditional FEM [Zienkiewicz and Taylor (1991)] and BEM [Ong and Lim (2005)], meshless methods [Li and Liu (2002)] have attracted much attention in recent years. This study focuses on the boundary-type meshless numerical techniques, for instance, method of funda- mental solutions (MFS) [Chen, Golberg and Hon (1998); Cheng, Young and Tsai (2000); Fairweather and Karageorghis (1998); Karageorghis (1992); Liu (2008); Marin (2008,2010a,2010b); Poullikkas, Karageorghis and Georgiou (1998); Reut- skiy (2005); Smyrlis and Karageorghis (2001)], boundary knot method (BKM) by Chen and Tanaka (2002), boundary particle method [Chen and Fu (2009): Fu, Chen 1 Center for Numerical Simulation Software in Engineering and Sciences, Department of Engineer- ing Mechanics, College of Civil Engineering, Hohai University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, P.R.China 2 Corresponding author.
