Natural Boundary Conditions

In this paper, a variational upper-bound (VUB) method is proposed. It is the method that determines an upper-bound solution using variational calculus. By using the method, a set of so called “naturally boundary conditions,” which were all ignored in past investigations, can be theoretically derived for the rigid/plastic interface assumed to be arbitrary function in prior. This method is shown to be applicable to the cup ironing problem. From the result we can clearly indicate the role of these natural boundary conditions which reasonably account for the effect of friction on the pattern of metal flow. The VUB method not only presents an improvement on the traditional upper-bound method, but also favorably agrees with experimental result of Nielsen et al. (1963) in calculating upper-bound energy.

This paper investigates one kind of interpolation for scattered data by bi-cubic polynomial natural spline, in which the integral of square of partial derivative of two orders to x and to y for the interpolating function is minimal (with natural boundary conditions). Firstly, bi-cubic polynomial natural spline interpolations with four kinds of boundary conditions are studied. By the spline function methods of Hilbert space, their solutions are constructed as the sum of bi-linear polynomials and piecewise bi-cubic polynomials. Some properties of the solutions are also studied. In fact, bi-cubic natural spline interpolation on a rectangular domain is a generalization of the cubic natural spline interpolation on an interval. Secondly, based on bi-cubic polynomial natural spline interpolations of four kinds of boundary conditions, and using partition of unity technique, a Partition of Unity Interpolation Element Method (PUIEM) for fitting scattered data is proposed. Numerical experiments show that the PUIEM is adaptive and outperforms state-of-the-art competitions, such as the thin plate spline interpolation and the bi-cubic polynomial natural spline interpolations for scattered data.

Natural Boundary Conditions

The meshless integral method based on regularized boundary equation [1][2] is extended to analyze elastoplastic geotechnical materials. In this formulation, the problem domain is clouded with a node set using automatic node generation. The sub-domain and the support domain related to each node are also generated automatically using algorithms developed for this purpose. The governing integral equation is obtained from the weak form of elastoplasticity over a local sub-domain and the moving least-squares approximation is employed for meshless function approximation. The geotechnical materials are described by pressure-sensitive multi-surface Drucker-Prager/Cap plasticity constitutive law with hardening. A generalized collocation method is used to impose the essential boundary conditions and natural boundary conditions are incorporated in the system governing equations. A comparison of the meshless results with the FEM results shows that the meshless integral method is accurate and robust enough to solve geotechnical materials.
