Abstract: The wave problem of finite element solution of one dimensional stationary convection diffusion equation is analyzed. The reason for wave is the poor continuity of linear Lagrange shape function. By using exponential function based interpolation (EFBI), the results of finite element solution are compared with that of the analytical solution. The results indicate that EFBI is effective to deal with the problem of numerical wave. The shape function of three dimensional EFBI is derived and analyzed. Morphological analysis shows that EFBI has good differentiability and adaptability.

Abstract: In this paper, a modified inlet atmosphere boundary layer (ABL) which satisfies the turbulence model equations is applied to computational wind engineering. The new inflow turbulence boundary condition applied to simulating the flow in the cavity is verified that it is more in line with the actual flows, and then it is used to establish the numerical wind tunnel model to simulate the flow around high-rise buildings. The results are in good agreement with the wind tunnel experimental data, which show the modified ABL combined with Reynolds Stress Model (RSM) is able to better simulate the flow around high-rise buildings.

Abstract: Bearing capacities and operating characteristics cover of a building deteriorate since time. Reconstruction of shallow shells cover by increase of their thickness in the center or at the edge. Critical force and stress of shell are considered with the geometric nonlinearity consideration. Vertical static loading and various types of a fixing are investigated. The method allows to describe various forms of shells with defects.

Abstract: Reduced order model was for the first time employed for the large-span structure by system identification approach. The structure’s modal amplitudes are utilized to construct strain energy function of the system. A high fidelity finite element model is adopted to calculate modes and strain energy information to determine the unknown coefficients in the strain energy function. Wind-induced responses of a large-span structure were computed by the proposed method. The results were compared well with those obtained from the high fidelity finite element model and experiments. It proves that reduced order model is an effective way to compute large-span structure responses under wind actions when taking aero-elastic effects into account.

Abstract: It presents the coupling of Pseudo-spectral method (PS) and domain decomposition method (DDM) for the elastostatic problem. First, the original problem is decomposed into several sub-problems by DDM. Next combining the advantage of easy programming and high accuracy of Pseudo-spectral method, we can solve these sub-problems in parallel by PS. Finally the global numerical solution is obtained by the partition of unity approximation. Some numerical experiments illustrate the effectiveness and accuracy of our method.

Abstract: Lévy walks are a natural model for the description of sub-ballistic, superdiffusive motion. The waiting times and jump lengths of Lévy walks are coupled in the form . The-coupling introduces a time cost for each jump in the form of the generalized velocity , such that long jumps get penalized by a higher time cost. In this paper, we firstly investigate the properties of Lévy walks with power-law waiting-time distributions; then discuss its moving time average.

Abstract: The scattering of time harmonic SH waves by arbitrary positions of circular cylindrical cavity is studied in continuous, homogeneous, isotropic, elastic strip region. In this paper, the completely analytical expression of total wave field is explicitly presented and the dynamic stress distribution is symbolically visualized in the strip region. The total wave field is divided into four sub wave fields, incident wave field and scattering wave field by the upper bound, the lower bound and the cylindrical bound, on big arc supposition. Specific wave functions are employed for each wave field expansion in series, such as circular cylindrical functions, respectively. Corresponding infinite linear algebraic equations are constructed by means of solving coefficients of Fourier series expansion on each sub wave field. Coefficients of cylindrical function expansion of each sub wave field are determined by truncated equations, which are reduced number of coefficients on pre-given computational accuracy. Numerical results graphically describe the dynamic stress concentration factor around the circumference of the cavity and the normalized dynamic stress along the cross section directly above the cavity.

Abstract: The wind load acted on ship mast at different wind angles of large Reynolds number is numerically simulated in this paper. CFX software was used to analyze the trend of constant and fluctuating forces that the mast surface suffered at different Reynolds numbers.The vortex shedding strength of the wind load around the mast was also analyzed according to the trend of Strouhal number varing with the simulated Reynolds numbers. The results show that the wind angle has an important impact on the lift, drag, and vertical force of the mast. The vertical force of the inclined side wall on the mast can not be ignored,and the angle of direction wind has great impact on the Strouhal number at different Reynolds numbers.
