This paper presents the free and constrained inflation of a pre-stretched hyperelastic cylindrical membrane and a subsequent constrained deflation. The membrane material is assumed as a homogeneous and isotropic Mooney–Rivlin solid. The constraining soft cylindrical substrate is assumed to be a distributed linear stiffness normal to the undeformed surface. Both frictionless and adhesive contact are modelled during the inflation as an interaction between the dry surfaces of the membrane and the substrate. An adhesive contact is modelled during deflation. The free and constrained inflation yields governing equations and boundary conditions, which are solved by a finite difference method in combination with a fictitious time integration method. Continuity in the principal stretches and stresses at the contact boundary is dependent on the contact conditions and inflation–deflation phase. The pre-stretch has a counterintuitive softening effect on free and constrained inflation. The variation of limit point pressures with pre-stretch and the occurrence of a cusp point is shown. Interesting trends are observed in the stretch and stress distributions after the interaction of the membrane with soft substrate, which underlines the effect of material parameters, pre-stretch and constraining properties.

Based on the newly proposed generalized Galerkin weak form (GGW) method, a two-step time integration method with controllable numerical dissipation is presented. In the first sub-step, the GGW method is used, and in the second sub-step, a new parameter is introduced by using the idea of a trapezoidal integral. According to the numerical analysis, it can be concluded that this method is unconditionally stable and its numerical damping is controllable with the change in introduced parameters. Compared with the GGW method, this two-step scheme avoids the fast numerical dissipation in a low-frequency range. To highlight the performance of the proposed method, some numerical problems are presented and illustrated which show that this method possesses superior accuracy, stability and efficiency compared with conventional trapezoidal rule, the Wilson method, and the Bathe method. High accuracy in a low-frequency range and controllable numerical dissipation in a high-frequency range are both the merits of the method.

Abstract This study presents the impact of the difference between the implicit and explicit time integration methods on a steady turbulent flow field. In contrast to the explicit time integration method, the implicit time integration method may produce significant kinetic energy conservation error because the widely used spatial difference method for discretizing the governing equations is explicit with respect to time. In this study, the second-order Crank-Nicolson method is used as the implicit time integration method, and the fourth-order Runge-Kutta, second-order Runge-Kutta and second-order Adams-Bashforth methods are used as explicit time integration methods. In the present study, both isotropic and anisotropic steady turbulent fields are analyzed with two values of the Reynolds number. The turbulent kinetic energy in the steady turbulent field is hardly affected by the kinetic energy conservation error. The rms values of static pressure fluctuation are significantly sensitive to the kinetic energy conservation error. These results are examined by varying the time increment value. These results are also discussed by visualizing the large scale turbulent vortex structure.

The geometrically non-linear vibrations of plates under the combined effect of thermal fields and mechanical excitations are analyzed. With this purpose, an accurate model based on a p-version, hierarchical, first-order shear deformation finite element is employed. The constitutive material of the plates is linear elastic and isotropic. The equations of motion are solved in the time domain by an implicit time integration method. The temperature and the amplitude of the mechanical excitation are varied, and transitions from periodic to non-periodic motions are found.

To facilitate the modeling of time-domain controlled-source electromagnetic survey, we propose an efficient finite-element method with weighted Laguerre polynomials, which shows a much lower computational complexity than conventional time integration methods. The proposed method allows sampling the field at arbitrary time steps and also its accuracy is determined by the number of polynomials, instead of the time sampling interval. Analysis is given regarding the optimization of the polynomial number to be used and the criterion of selecting the time scale factor. Two numerical examples in marine and land survey environments are included to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over the existing backward Euler time integration method. The proposed method is expected to facilitate the modeling of transient electromagnetic surveys in the geophysical regime.
