An efficient coupled mode method for modeling sound propagation in horizontally stratified inhomogeneous waveguides, in which the seabed is modeled as a (layered) acoustic medium, is presented. The method is based on Fawcett’s coupled mode method and the multimodal admittance method. The acoustic field is expanded onto the unusual local eigenfunctions composed by normal modes in the corresponding one-layer homogeneous waveguides with constant depth equal to the local total depth of the multilayered waveguide. A set of energy-conserving first-order differential equations governing the modal amplitudes of acoustic fields is derived. The admittance method is employed to solve the differential equations in a numerically stable manna. The coupled mode method considers the backscattering effect of inhomogeneities and full coupling between local modes, and offers improvement from the viewpoint of efficiency and computational cost. The acoustic fields predicted by the method agree well with those computed by the commercial finite element software COMSOL Multiphysics. The method can be extended to further establish fast and accurate 3D sound propagation models in complex shallow water environments.

We compare the results of a coupled mode method with those of a finite element method and also of COUPLE on two test problems of sound propagation and scattering in cylindrically symmetric, underwater, multilayered acoustic waveguides with range-dependent interface topographies. We observe, in general, very good agreement between the results of the three codes. In some cases in which the frequency of the harmonic point source is such that an eigenvalue of the local vertical problem remains small in magnitude and changes sign several times in the vicinity of the interface nonhomogeneity, the discrepancies between the results of the three codes increase, but remain small in absolute terms.

AbstractMonte Carlo (MC) simulation depends on pseudo-random numbers. The generation of these numbers is examined in connection with the Brownian motion. We present the low discrepancy sequence known as Halton sequence that generates different stochastic samples in an equally distributed form. This will increase the convergence and accuracy using the generated different samples in the Multilevel Monte Carlo method (MLMC). We compare algorithms by using a pseudo-random generator and a random generator depending on a Halton sequence. The computational cost for different stochastic differential equations increases in a standard MC technique. It will be highly reduced using a Halton sequence, especially in multiplicative stochastic differential equations.

Bamboo poles, and other one-dimensional thin-walled structures are usually loaded under compression, which may also be subject to bending arising from eccentric loading. Many of these structures contain diaphragms or circumferential stiffeners to prevent cross-sectional distortions and so enhance overall load-carrying response. Such hierarchical structures can compartmentalize buckling to local regions in addition to withstanding global buckling phenomena. Predicting the buckling mode shapes of such structures for a range of geometric parameters is challenging due to the interaction of these global and local modes. Abaqus finite element software is used to model thousands of circular hollow tubes with random geometric parameters such that the ratios of radius to periodic length range from 1/3-1/7, the ratio of wall thickness to radius varies from 1/4-1/10. The material used in this study is a type of bamboo, where the Young’s and shear moduli are point-wise orthotropic and gradually increase in magnitude in the radial direction. Under eccentric loads with varying eccentricity, the structures can buckle into a global mode or local modes within an internode, i.e. periodic unit. Moreover, the local modes may contain only one wave or multiple waves in the circumferential direction. As expected, numerical results show that the global mode is more likely to occur in small and thick tubes, whereas the local modes are observed in larger tubes with a smaller number of circumferential waves present in thicker walls. Also, greater eccentricity pushes the local mode domains towards smaller tubes. An efficient classification method is developed herein to identify the domains of each mode shape in terms of radius, wall thickness and eccentricity. Based on linear discriminant analysis, explicit boundary surfaces for the three domains are defined for the obtained data, which can help designers in predicting the mode shapes of tubular structures under axial bending.

The generalized finite difference method is a meshless method for solving partial differential equations that allows arbitrary discretizations of points. Typically, the discretizations have the same density of points in the domain. We propose a technique to get adapted discretizations for the solution of partial differential equations. This strategy allows using a smaller number of points and a lower computational cost to achieve the same accuracy that would be obtained with a regular discretization.

The study is focused on the development, adaption and evaluation of the higher order Haar wavelet method (HOHWM) for solving differential equations. Accuracy and computational complexity are two measurable key characteristics of any numerical method. The HOHWM introduced recently by authors as an improvement of the widely used Haar wavelet method (HWM) has shown excellent accuracy and convergence results in the case of all model problems studied. The practical value of the proposed HOHWM approach is that it allows reduction of the computational cost by several magnitudes as compared to HWM, depending on the mesh and the method parameter values used.

This paper presents a high accuracy combination algorithm for solving the systems of nonlinear Volterra integral and integro-differential equations with weakly singular kernels of the second kind. Two quadrature algorithms for solving the systems are discussed, which possess high accuracy order and the asymptotic expansion of the errors. By means of combination algorithm, we may obtain a numerical solution with higher accuracy order than the original two quadrature algorithms. Moreover an a posteriori error estimation for the algorithm is derived. Both of the theory and the numerical examples show that the algorithm is effective and saves storage capacity and computational cost.
