nu-spline curves for boundary geometry modeling in two-dimensional potential boundary value problems with singular corner points

The paper presents a new modeling method of boundary geometry in boundary value-problems by nu-spline curves. To define a smooth boundary geometry both Bezier and B-spline curves are applied. At the segment join points Bezier curves ensure continuity C1, and B-spline curves allow us to maintain continuity C2. However, the curves hinder boundary modeling with corner points. In order to weaken the continuity at segment join points nu-spline curves are proposed. These curves are combined analytically with the Green formula, thus yielding the Parametric Integral Equation System (PIES). To solve the PIES a pseudospectral method is used. The results obtained for the domains with singular corner points are compared with the corresponding non-singular ones as defined by the nu-spline curves

A non-element method of solving the two-dimensional Navier-Lamé equation in problems with non-homogeneous polygonal subregions

The paper introduces a parametric integral equation system (PIES) for solving 2D boundary problems defined on connected polygonal domains described by the Navier-Lame equation. Parametric linear functions were applied in the PIES to define analytically the polygonal subregions' interfaces. Only corner points and additional extreme points on the interface between the connected subregions are posed to practically define a polygonal domain. An important advantage of this approach is that the number of such points is independent of the area of identically shaped domains due to the elimination of traditional elements from modeling, the number of those elements being dependent on the domain's surface area. In order to test the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed method, test examples are included in which areas of displacements and stresses are analyzed in each subregion

PURC w dwuwymiarowych problemach teorii sprężystości z siłami masowymi na wielokątnych obszarach

The paper presents a thorough review of the effective approach to solving problems of plane elasticity with body forces of different types. The proposed method bases on generalization of the parametric integral equation system (PIES), which was successfully applied to solving boundary problems without body forces. The main aim of the mentioned generalization was to create such an approach which does not require physical discretization of the domain, or division it into cells, like it is done in the classic boundary element method (BEM). First, only problems defined on polygons were considered. The paper also contains the analysis of the accuracy of obtained solutions in comparison with analytical or other numerical results.W pracy zaprezentowano i gruntownie zweryfikowano efektywny sposób rozwiązywania zagadnień z zakresu płaskiej teorii sprężystości z siłami masowymi różnego typu. Zaproponowany sposób polega na uogólnieniu parametrycznego układu równań całkowych (PURC), wcześniej z sukcesem stosowanego do rozwiązywania zagadnień brzegowych bez sił masowych. Celem uogólnienia było zastosowane takiego podejścia, które charakteryzowałoby się brakiem konieczności fizycznej dyskretyzacji obszaru czy dzielenia go na komórki, jak jest to stosowane w klasycznej metodzie elementów brzegowych (MEB). W pracy w pierwszej kolejności ograniczono się do zagadnień zdefiniowanych na obszarach wielokątnych. W pracy dokonano analizy dokładności otrzymywanych rozwiązań w porównaniu do wyników analitycznych oraz numerycznych

The identification of the boundary geometry with corner points in inverse two-dimensional potential problems

The paper presents fragment of a larger study concerning the effective methods of solving the inverse boundary value problems. The boundary value problem described here is formulated as a problem of the identification of a boundary geometry with corner points. A method using a parametric integral equations system (PIES) is proposed. PIES used in the method makes the easy modelling of the geometry with corner points possible. This effect is obtained by the application of modified splines. An evolution algorithm is used for the effective control of modifications of the boundary geometry. Some experimental tests of the efficiency of the discussed method were performed for two-dimensional inverse potential problems

Application of PIES and rectangular Bezier surfaces to complex and non-homogeneous problems of elasticity with body forces

This paper presents a variety of applications of an effective way to solve boundary value problems of 2D elasticity with body forces. An overview of the approach is presented, its numerical implementation, as well as a number of applications, ranging from problems defined on elementary shapes to complex problems, e.g. with non-homogeneous material. The results obtained by the parametric integral equation system (PIES) were compared with the analytical and numerical solutions obtained by other computer methods, confirming the effectiveness of the method and its applicability to a variety of problems

Identification of polygonal domains using PIES in inverse boundary problems modeled by 2D Laplace's equation

The paper presents an original method to identify polygonal boundary geometry in 2D boundary problems defined by Laplace's equation using a parametric integral equation system (PIES). In the PIES, the polygonal boundary shape is defined mathematically by means of parametric linear segments, with a small number of corner points being posed. Identification of the polygonal boundary is reduced to identification of the corner points. Finally, the solution of the problem is reduced to the solution of a non-linear system of algebraic equations. Coordinates of identified corner points are obtained after solving the system of equations

Algorytmy sztucznej inteligencji połączone z PURC w identyfikacji kształtu wielokątnej geometrii brzegu

Identification of a shape of a boundary belongs to a very interesting part of boundary problems called inverse problems. Various methods were used to solve these problems. Therefore in practice, there are two well-known methods widely applied to solve the problem: the FEM and the BEM. In this paper a competitive meshless and more effective method - the PIES combined with artificial intelligence (AI) methods is applied to solve the shape inverse problems. The aim of the paper is an examination of two popular AI algorithms (genetic algorithms and artificial immune systems) in identification of the shape of the boundary.Identyfikacja kształtu brzegu należy do bardzo interesującej grupy zagadnień brzegowych nazywanej zagadnieniami odwrotnymi. Istnieje liczna grupa metod służących rozwiązywaniu takich problemów. Jednakże w praktyce do rozwiązywania zagadnień odwrotnych szeroko wykorzystywane są dwie metody: MES i MEB. W niniejszej pracy zaproponowano zastosowanie alternatywnej bezelementowej i bardziej efektywnej metody - PURC połączonej z algorytmami sztucznej inteligencji (SI) do identyfikacji kształtu brzegu. Celem pracy jest zbadanie efektywności dwóch popularnych algorytmów SI (algorytmów genetycznych i sztucznych systemów immunologicznych) w identyfikacji kształtu brzegu

Shape Identification in Nonlinear Boundary Problems Solved bby Pies Method

The paper presents the strategy for identifying the shape of defects in the domain defined in the boundary value problem modelled by the nonlinear differential equation. To solve the nonlinear problem in the iterative process the PIES method and its ad-vantages were used: the efficient way of the boundary and the domain modelling and global integration. The identification was performed using the genetic algorithm, where in connection with the efficiency of PIES we identify the small number of data required to the defect’s definition. The strategy has been tested for different shapes of defects
