Abstract Rayleigh-Ritz and Galerkin methods are frequently used in engineering to solve boundary value and eigenvalue problems. The success in applying these methods depends entirely on the construction of a variational entity called the functional, and the choice of a system of elements known as the basis functions. This in some cases greatly narrows down the class of problems to which the above methods may be applied. Here, we present a specific but sufficiently general method known as the Methods of Moments for constructing the elements going into the expansion of the approximate solution. The Method of Moments has been shown to posses the capability of generating the basis functions successfully. The Method of Moments in its various forms has been widely used in electromagnetism. Due to generality involved in the construction of these basis functions, the Method of Moments may be readily used to solve a large variety of problems arising in discrete as well as continuous vibrating systems. This idea forms the central theme of this article.

This paper proposes new closed expressions of self-impedance using the Method of Moments with the Point Matching Procedure and piecewise constant and linear basis functions in different configurations, which allow saving computing time for the solution of wire antennas with complex geometries. The new expressions have complexity O(1) with well-defined theoretical bound errors. They were compared with an adaptive numerical integration. We obtain an accuracy between 7 and 16 digits depending on the chosen basis function and segmentation used. Besides, the computing time involved in the calculation of the self-impedance terms was evaluated and compared with the time required by the adaptative quadrature integration solution of the same problem. Expressions have a run-time bounded between 50 and 200 times faster than an adaptive numerical integration assuming full computation of all constant of the expressions.

Filtering Procedure

AbstractWe prove that the most common filtering procedure for nodal discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods is stable. The proof exploits that the DG approximation is constructed from polynomial basis functions and that integrals are approximated with high-order accurate Legendre–Gauss–Lobatto quadrature. The theoretical discussion re-contextualizes stable filtering results for finite difference methods into the DG setting. Numerical tests verify and validate the underlying theoretical results.

Abstract An approximate solution for the distribution of stresses in a rotating prismatic shaft, of triangular cross section, is presented in this paper. A general method is employed which may be applied in obtaining approximate solutions for the stress distribution for rotating prismatic shapes, for the cases of either generalized plane stress or plane strain. Polynomials are used which exactly satisfy the biharmonic equation and the symmetry conditions, and which approximately satisfy the boundary conditions.
