Preferential Stiffness And The Crack-Tip Fields Of An Elastic Porous Solid Based On The Density-Dependent Moduli Model, Hyun C. Yoon, S. M. Mallikarjunaiah, Dambaru Bhatta

School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

In this paper, we study the preferential stiffness and the crack-tip fields for an elastic porous solid of which material properties are dependent upon the density. Such a description is necessary to describe the failure that can be caused by damaged pores in many porous bodies such as ceramics, concrete and human bones. To that end, we revisit a new class of implicit constitutive relations under the assumption of small deformation. Although the constitutive relationship \textit{appears linear} in both the Cauchy stress and linearized strain, the governing equation bestowed from the balance of linear momentum results in a quasi-linear partial …

Second-Order, Fully Decoupled, Linearized, And Unconditionally Stable Scalar Auxiliary Variable Schemes For Cahn–Hilliard–Darcy System, Yali Gao, Xiaoming He, Yufeng Nie

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper, we establish the fully decoupled numerical methods by utilizing scalar auxiliary variable approach for solving Cahn–Hilliard–Darcy system. We exploit the operator splitting technique to decouple the coupled system and Galerkin finite element method in space to construct the fully discrete formulation. The developed numerical methods have the features of second order accuracy, totally decoupling, linearization, and unconditional energy stability. The unconditionally stability of the two proposed decoupled numerical schemes are rigorously proved. Abundant numerical results are reported to verify the accuracy and effectiveness of proposed numerical methods.

Numerical Analysis Of A Second Order Ensemble Method For Evolutionary Magnetohydrodynamics Equations At Small Magnetic Reynolds Number, John Carter, Nan Jiang

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We study a second order ensemble method for fast computation of an ensemble of magnetohydrodynamics flows at small magnetic Reynolds number. Computing an ensemble of flow equations with different input parameters is a common procedure for uncertainty quantification in many engineering applications, for which the computational cost can be prohibitively expensive for nonlinear complex systems. We propose an ensemble algorithm that requires only solving one linear system with multiple right-hands instead of solving multiple different linear systems, which significantly reduces the computational cost and simulation time. Comprehensive stability and error analyses are presented proving conditional stability and second order in …
