Interval Boundary Element Method
Interval boundary element method is classical boundary element method with the interval parameters. Boundary element method is based on the following integral equation c\cdot u=\int\limits_\left(G\frac - \fracu\right)dS The exact interval solution on the boundary can be defined in the following way: \tilde(x)=\ In practice we are interested in the smallest interval which contain the exact solution set \hat(x)=hull \ \tilde (x)=hull \{u(x,p):c(p)\cdot u(p)=\int\limits_{\partial \Omega}\left(G(p)\frac{\partial u(p)}{\partial n} - \frac{\partial G(p)}{\partial n}u(p)\right)dS, p\in\hat{p} \} In similar way it is possible to calculate the interval solution inside the boundary \Omega .

Boundary Element Method
The boundary element method (BEM) is a numerical computational method of solving linear partial differential equations which have been formulated as integral equations (i.e. in ''boundary integral'' form), including fluid mechanics, acoustics, electromagnetics (where the technique is known as Method of moments (electromagnetics), method of moments or abbreviated as MoM), fracture mechanics, and contact mechanics. Mathematical basis The integral equation may be regarded as an exact solution of the governing partial differential equation. The boundary element method attempts to use the given boundary conditions to fit boundary values into the integral equation, rather than values throughout the space defined by a partial differential equation. Once this is done, in the post-processing stage, the integral equation can then be used again to calculate numerically the solution directly at any desired point in the interior of the solution domain. BEM is applicable to problems for which G ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Parameter
A parameter (), generally, is any characteristic that can help in defining or classifying a particular system (meaning an event, project, object, situation, etc.). That is, a parameter is an element of a system that is useful, or critical, when identifying the system, or when evaluating its performance, status, condition, etc. ''Parameter'' has more specific meanings within various disciplines, including mathematics, computer programming, engineering, statistics, logic, linguistics, and electronic musical composition. In addition to its technical uses, there are also extended uses, especially in non-scientific contexts, where it is used to mean defining characteristics or boundaries, as in the phrases 'test parameters' or 'game play parameters'. Modelization When a system is modeled by equations, the values that describe the system are called ''parameters''. For example, in mechanics, the masses, the dimensions and shapes (for solid bodies), the densities and the viscosities ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Integral Equation
In mathematics, integral equations are equations in which an unknown Function (mathematics), function appears under an integral sign. In mathematical notation, integral equations may thus be expressed as being of the form: f(x_1,x_2,x_3,...,x_n ; u(x_1,x_2,x_3,...,x_n) ; I^1 (u), I^2(u), I^3(u), ..., I^m(u)) = 0where I^i(u) is an integral operator acting on ''u.'' Hence, integral equations may be viewed as the analog to differential equations where instead of the equation involving derivatives, the equation contains integrals. A direct comparison can be seen with the mathematical form of the general integral equation above with the general form of a differential equation which may be expressed as follows:f(x_1,x_2,x_3,...,x_n ; u(x_1,x_2,x_3,...,x_n) ; D^1 (u), D^2(u), D^3(u), ..., D^m(u)) = 0where D^i(u) may be viewed as a differential operator of order ''i''. Due to this close connection between differential and integral equations, one can often convert between the two. For examp ...

Interval Finite Element
In numerical analysis, the interval finite element method (interval FEM) is a finite element method that uses interval parameters. Interval FEM can be applied in situations where it is not possible to get reliable probabilistic characteristics of the structure. This is important in concrete structures, wood structures, geomechanics, composite structures, biomechanics and in many other areas. The goal of the Interval Finite Element is to find upper and lower bounds of different characteristics of the model (e.g. stress, displacements, yield surface etc.) and use these results in the design process. This is so called worst case design, which is closely related to the limit state design. Worst case design requires less information than probabilistic design however the results are more conservative Elishakoff.html" ;"title="öylüoglu and Elishakoff">öylüoglu and Elishakoff 1998 Applications of the interval parameters to the modeling of uncertainty Consider the following ...
