ABSTRACT A new computational technique for the thermomechanical analysis of tires in stationary rolling contact is suggested. Different from the existing approaches, the proposed method uses the constitutive description of tire rubber components, such as large deformations, viscous hysteresis, dynamic stiffening, internal heating, and temperature dependency. A thermoviscoelastic constitutive model, which incorporates all the mentioned effects and their numerical aspects, is presented. An isentropic operator-split algorithm, which ensures numerical stability, was chosen for solving the coupled mechanical and energy balance equations. For the stationary rolling-contact analysis, the constitutive model presented and the operator-split algorithm are embedded into the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE)–relative kinematic framework. The flow of material particles and their inelastic history within the spatially fixed mesh is described by using the recently developed numerical technique based on the Time Discontinuous Galerkin (TDG) method. For the efficient numerical solutions, a three-phase, staggered scheme is introduced. First, the nonlinear, mechanical subproblem is solved using inelastic constitutive equations. Next, deformations are transferred to the subsequent thermal phase for the solution of the heat equations concerning the internal dissipation as a source term. In the third step, the history of each material particle, i.e., each internal variable, is transported through the fixed mesh corresponding to the convective velocities. Finally, some numerical tests with an inelastic rubber wheel and a car tire model are presented.

Many physical problems, such as heat transfer and wave transfer, are modeled in the real world using partial differential equations (PDEs). When the domain of such modeled problems is irregular in shape, computing analytic solution becomes difficult, if not impossible. In such a case, numerical methods can be used to compute the solution of such PDEs. The Finite difference method (FDM) is one of the numerical methods used to compute the solutions of PDEs by discretizing the domain into a finite number of regions. We used FDMs to compute the numerical solutions of the one dimensional heat equation with different position initial conditions and multiple initial conditions. Blacksmiths fashioned different metals into the desired shape by heating the objects with different temperatures and at different position. The numerical technique applied here can be used to solve heat equations observed in the field of science and engineering.

ABSTRACT Rolling contact is an important aspect in tire design, and reliable numerical simulations are required in order to improve the tire layout, performance, and safety. This includes the consideration of as many significant characteristics of the materials as possible. An example is found in the nonlinear and inelastic properties of the rubber compounds. For numerical simulations of tires, steady state rolling is an efficient alternative to standard transient analyses, and this work makes use of an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation for the computation of the inertia contribution. Since the reference configuration is neither attached to the material nor fixed in space, handling history variables of inelastic materials becomes a complex task. A standard viscoelastic material approach is implemented. In the inelastic steady state rolling case, one location in the cross-section depends on all material locations on its circumferential ring. A consistent linearization is formulated taking into account the contribution of all finite elements connected in the hoop direction. As an outcome of this approach, the number of nonzero values in the general stiffness matrix increases, producing a more populated matrix that has to be solved. This implementation is done in the commercial finite element code ANSYS. Numerical results confirm the reliability and capabilities of the linearization for the steady state viscoelastic material formulation. A discussion on the results obtained, important remarks, and an outlook on further research conclude this work.

<p>Landslide-generated waves have been major threats to coastal areas and have led to destruction and casualties. Their importance is undisputed, most recently demonstrated by the 2018 Anak Krakatau tsunami, causing several hundred fatalities. The accurate prediction of the maximum initial amplitude of landslide waves (<em>η<sub>max</sub></em>) around the source region is a vital hazard indicator for coastal impact assessment. Laboratory experiments, analytical solutions and numerical modelling are three major methods to investigate the (<em>η<sub>max</sub></em>). However, the numerical modelling approach provides a more flexible and cost- and time-efficient tool. This research presents a numerical simulation of tsunamis due to rigid landslides with consideration of submerged conditions. In particular, this simulation focuses on studying the effect of landslide parameters on <em>η<sub>max</sub>.</em> Results of simulations are compared with our conducted physical experiments at the Brunel University London (UK) to validate the numerical model.</p><p>We employ the fully three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics package, FLOW-3D Hydro for modelling the landslide-generated waves. This software benefit from the Volume of Fluid Method (VOF) as the numerical technique for tracking and locating the free surface. The geometry of the simulation is set up according to the wave tank of physical experiments (i.e. 0.26 m wide, 0.50 m deep and 4.0 m). In order to calibrate the simulation model based on the laboratory measurements, the friction coefficient between solid block and incline is changed to 0.41; likewise, the terminal velocity of the landslide is set to 0.87 m/s. Good agreement between the numerical solutions and the experimental results is found. Sensitivity analyses of landslide parameters (e.g. slide volume, water depth, etc.) on <em>η<sub>max </sub></em>are performed. Dimensionless parameters are employed to study the sensitivity of the initial landslide waves to various landslide parameters.</p>

Collocation Approach

A spectral collocation approach is constructed to solve a class of time-fractional stochastic heat equations (TFSHEs) driven by Brownian motion. Stochastic differential equations with additive noise have an important role in explaining some symmetry phenomena such as symmetry breaking in molecular vibrations. Finding the exact solution of such equations is difficult in many cases. Thus, a collocation method based on sixth-kind Chebyshev polynomials (SKCPs) is introduced to assess their numerical solutions. This collocation approach reduces the considered problem to a system of linear algebraic equations. The convergence and error analysis of the suggested scheme are investigated. In the end, numerical results and the order of convergence are evaluated for some numerical test problems to illustrate the efficiency and robustness of the presented method.

We present a hybrid heuristic computing method for the numerical solution of nonlinear singular boundary value problems arising in physiology. The approximate solution is deduced as a linear combination of some log sigmoid basis functions. A fitness function representing the sum of the mean square error of the given nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) and its boundary conditions is formulated. The optimization of the unknown adjustable parameters contained in the fitness function is performed by the hybrid heuristic computation algorithm based on genetic algorithm (GA), interior point algorithm (IPA), and active set algorithm (ASA). The efficiency and the viability of the proposed method are confirmed by solving three examples from physiology. The obtained approximate solutions are found in excellent agreement with the exact solutions as well as some conventional numerical solutions.

AbstractWe introduce new numerical techniques for solving nonlinear unsteady Burgers equation. The numerical technique involves discretization of all variables except the time variable which converts nonlinear PDE into nonlinear ODE system. Stability of the nonlinear system is verified using Lyapunov’s stability criteria. Implicit stiff solvers backward differentiation formula of order one, two and three are used to solve the nonlinear ODE system. Four test problems are included to show the applicability of introduced numerical techniques. Numerical solutions so obtained are compared with solutions of existing schemes in literature. The proposed numerical schemes are found to be simple, accurate, fast, practical and superior to some existing methods.

Abstract This paper presents formulations, computations and investigations of the solutions of classes C00 and C11 for two dimensional viscoelastic fluid flows in u, v, p, τijp, τijs with Phan-Thien-Tanner (PTT) constitutive model using p-version least squares finite element formulation (LSFEF). The main thrust of the research work presented in the paper is to employ ‘right classes of interpolations’ and the ‘best computational strategy’ 1) to obtain numerical solutions of governing differential equations (GDEs) for increasing Deborah numbers 2) investigate the nature of the computed solutions with the aim of establishing limiting values of the flow parameters beyond which the solutions may be possible to compute, but may not be meaningful. The investigations presented in this paper reveal the following: a) The manner in which the stresses are non-dimensionalized significantly influences the performance of the iterative procedure of solving non-linear algebraic equations. b) Solutions of the class C00 are always the wrong class of solutions of GDEs in variables u, v, p, τijp and τijs and thus spurious. c) C11 class of solutions are the right class of solutions of the GDEs in variables u, v, p, τijp and τijs. d) In the flow domains, containing sharp gradients of the dependent variables, conservation of mass is difficult to achieve at lower p-levels (worse for coarse meshes). e) An augmented form of GDEs are proposed that always ensure conservation of mass at all p-levels regardless of the mesh and the nature of the solution gradients. f) Stick-slip problem is used as a model problem. We demonstrate that converged solutions are possible to compute for all flow rates reported and that the detailed examination of the solution characteristics reveals them to be in agreement with all the physics of the flow, g) Numerical studies with graded meshes and high p-levels presented in this paper are aimed towards establishing and demonstrating detail behavior of local as well as global nature of the computed solutions, h) Various norms are proposed and tested to judge local and global dominance of elasticity or viscous behavior i) New definitions are proposed for elongational (extensional) viscosity. The proposed definitions are more in conformity and agreement with the flow physics compared to currently used definitions j) A significant aspect and strength of our work is that we utilize straightforward p-version LSFEF with C00 and C11 type interpolations without linearizing GDEs and that SUPG, SUPG/DC, SUPG/DC/LS operators are neither needed nor used.

The propose of this paper is to introduce and investigate a highly accurate technique for solving the fractional Logistic and Ricatti differential equations of variable-order. We consider these models with the most common nonsingular Atangana–Baleanu–Caputo (ABC) fractional derivative which depends on the Mittag–Leffler kernel. The proposed numerical technique is based upon the fundamental theorem of the fractional calculus as well as the Lagrange polynomial interpolation. We satisfy the efficiency and the accuracy of the given procedure; and study the effect of the variation of the fractional-order [Formula: see text] on the behavior of the solutions due to the presence of ABC-operator by evaluating the solution with different values of [Formula: see text]. The results show that the given procedure is an easy and efficient tool to investigate the solution for such models. We compare the numerical solutions with the exact solution, thereby showing excellent agreement which we have found by applying the ABC-derivatives. We observe the chaotic solutions with some fractional-variable-order functions.

Solutions such as symmetric, periodic, and solitary wave solutions play a significant role in the field of partial differential equations (PDEs), and they can be utilized to explain several phenomena in physics and engineering. Therefore, constructing such solutions is significantly essential. This article concentrates on employing the improved exp(−ϕ(η))-expansion approach and the method of lines on the variant Boussinesq system to establish its exact and numerical solutions. Novel solutions based on the solitary wave structures are obtained. We present a comprehensible comparison between the accomplished exact and numerical results to testify the accuracy of the used numerical technique. Some 3D and 2D diagrams are sketched for some solutions. We also investigate the L2 error and the CPU time of the used numerical method. The used mathematical tools can be comfortably invoked to handle more nonlinear evolution equations.
