A numerical approach to Blow-up issues for dispersive perturbations of Burgers' equation
2014
We provide a detailed numerical study of various issues pertaining to the dynamics of the Burgers equation perturbed by a weak dispersive term: blow-up in finite time versus global existence, nature of the blow-up, existence for "long" times, and the decomposition of the initial data into solitary waves plus radiation. We numerically construct solitons for fractionary Korteweg-de Vries equations.
DEGENERATE MATRIX METHOD FOR SOLVING NONLINEAR SYSTEMS OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
1998
Degenerate matrix method for numerical solving nonlinear systems of ordinary differential equations is considered. The method is based on an application of special degenerate matrix and usual iteration procedure. The method, which is connected with an implicit Runge‐Kutta method, can be simply realized on computers. An estimation for the error of the method is given. First Published Online: 14 Oct 2010
Drilling Systems: Stability and Hidden Oscillations
2013
There are many mathematical models of drilling systems Despite, huge efforts in constructing models that would allow for precise analysis, drilling systems, still experience breakdowns. Due to complexity of systems, engineers mostly use numerical analysis, which may lead to unreliable results. Nowadays, advances in computer engineering allow for simulations of complex dynamical systems in order to obtain information on the behavior of their trajectories. However, this simple approach based on construction of trajectories using numerical integration of differential equations describing dynamical systems turned out to be quite limited for investigation of stability and oscillations of these s…
Determination of Torsional Stresses in Shafts: From Physical Analogies to Mathematical Models
2015
This paper presents the historical development of methods used for the study of torsional stresses in shafts. In particular, the paper covers both analog methods, especially those based on electrical analogies proposed circa 1925, and numerical methods, especially finite difference methods (FDM), finite element methods (FEM) and boundary element methods (BEM).

Optimality conditions for shakedown design of trusses
1995
This paper deals with optimal shakedown design of truss structures constituted by elastic perfectly plastic material. The design problem is formulated by means of a statical approach on the grounds of the shakedown lower bound theorem, and by means of a kinematical approach on the grounds of the shakedown upper bound theorem. In both cases two different types of design problem are formulated: one searches for the minimum volume design whose shakedown limit load is assigned; the other searches for the maximum shakedown limit load design whose volume is assigned. The Kuhn-Tucker equations of the four problems here above mentioned are found by utilizing a variational approach; these equations …
On Equivalent Random Traffic method extension
2011
The key result of the paper is the Equivalent Random Traffic (ERT) method extension for estimation of the throughput for schemes with traffic splitting. The excellent accuracy (relative error is less than 1%) is shown in numerical example. A numerical algorithm is given — how to estimate the throughput for schemes at traffic splitting and merging. The paper also contains new Erlang-B formula algorithm for non-integer number of channels based on parabolic approximation.
Scatter search for the profile minimization problem
2014
We study the problem of minimizing the profile of a graph and develop a solution method by following the tenets of scatter search. Our procedure exploits the network structure of the problem and includes strategies that produce a computationally efficient and agile search. Among several mechanisms, our search includes path relinking as the basis for combining solutions to generate new ones. The profile minimization problem PMP is NP-Hard and has relevant applications in numerical analysis techniques that rely on manipulating large sparse matrices. The problem was proposed in the early 1970s but the state-of-the-art does not include a method that could be considered powerful by today's compu…
A New ESO-Based Method to Find the Optimal Topology of Structures Subject to Multiple Load Conditions
2014
In the field of topology optimization problems, the Evolutionary Structural Optimization (ESO) method is one of the most popular and easy to use. When dealing with problems of reasonable difficulty, the ESO method is able to give very good results in reduced times and with a limited request of computational resources. Generally, main applications of this method are addressed to the definition of the optimal topology of a component subjected to a single load condition. In this work, a new methodology, based on the ESO approach, is introduced for the study of the optimal topology of a component subjected to multiple load conditions. The new procedure, entirely developed in the APDL programmin…
Numerical model of macro-segregation during directional crystallization process
1998
Abstract In the paper the mathematical model of macro-segregation proceeding during the directional crystallization process is presented. The boundary-initial problem considered is discussed. Next the numerical approximation constructed on the basis of the boundary element method supplemented by a procedure called the artificial heat source method is described. The boundary condition on the solidification front resulting from the alloy component balance is introduced, while in finally the practical aspects of computations concerning the course of the process are discussed.
