将求解三维弹性摩擦接触问题的非光滑非线性方程组方法推广到弹塑性(Mises材料)情形，提出了两种应用方法：一种是将非光滑非线性方程组方法和求解弹塑性问题常用的Newton—Raphson迭代方法结合起来；另一种是将问题写成统一的非光滑非线性方程组，直接求解。数值算例验证了两种方法的有效性，并进行了结果比较。     

Non-linear analysis of structures using two-point method

Non-linear algebraic equations must be solved by an iterative method, the non-linear equations being linearized by evaluating the non-linear terms with the known solution from the preceding iteration. The Newton-Raphson method, which is based on the Taylor series expansion and uses the tangent stiffness matrix, has been extensively used to solve non-linear problems. In this paper, a new Newton-Raphson algorithm is developed for analyses involving non-linear behavior. Our method, here named as a two-point method, is constructed as a predictor-corrector one, most frequently taking Newton's method in the first iteration. It should be noted that our concern in this research ignores the problem of passing limit points. The presented method incorporates the known information at each stage of the loading process to determine the subsequent unknown variables. Compared with the classic Newton-Raphson algorithm, it offers a strategy that can be deployed to reduce both the number of the iterations and the computing time involved in non-linear analysis of structures.     

Adomian修正分解法的后处理方法比较

Adomian修正分解法在求解非线性微分方程中得到广泛应用。Adomian修正分解法的主要特点在于计算简单快速,并且不需要进行线性化或离散化。但是Adomian修正分解法的计算精度取决于其收敛域。为了扩大Adomian修正分解法的收敛域,需要对所得解进行后处理,目前常见的后处理方法包括Padé近似、LaplacePadé近似和多步迭代方法。本文首先简要回顾了Adomian修正分解法,然后讨论了这三种后处理方法,最后通过Duffing振子为例对这些后处理方法的优缺点进行讨论和分析。数值计算结果表明,多步迭代方法能够加速Adomian修正分解法解的收敛,并扩大其收敛域。     

求解几何非线性桩-土耦合系统的微分求积单元法

将桩-土系统看成在土层中嵌入了一根等圆截面桩的空间轴对称弹性体,在几何非线性的条件下建立了具有间断性条件的桩-土系统的非线性控制方程,并运用微分求积方法(DQEM)来求解了该问题.提出了利用DQEM求解非线性空间轴对称问题中处理单元之间连接条件(包括间断性条件)及边界条件的离散化方法,最终得到了一组离散化的非线性DQEM代数方程,运用Newton-Raphson迭代方法求解非线性代数方程组可以得到每个节点处的位移,进一步可以得到系统的应力和应变.给出了两个数值算例,并与有限元解进行了比较,它们是非常吻合的.将看到,由于在采用DQEM求解时只布置了较少的节点,因此,该文方法具有较小的计算工作量、较高的精度、良好的收敛性以及应用广泛等优点.该文提出的处理连接条件的方法是一个一般的方法,由于它在数学上遵循了求解边值问题的思路,因此,数学上也是严谨的.     

Nonlocal continuum model for large deformation analysis of SLGSs using the kp-Ritz element-free method

A geometrically nonlinear large deformation analysis of SLGSs is presented using the element-free kp-Ritz method. Classical plate theory (CLP) is applied to describe the geometrically nonlinear behavior of SLGSs. Nonlocal elasticity theory is incorporated into CLP to take the small-scale effect into consideration. The system nonlinear equations are derived from the Ritz procedure based on the total Lagrangian formulation. The modified Newton–Raphson method and arc-length continuation are employed to solve the nonlinear equations. The efficiency of the element-free kp-Ritz method is verified through comparison with results reported in previous research. Numerical cases are studied to examine the influence of boundary conditions, aspect ratio, side length and nonlocal parameters on the nonlinear large deformation behavior of SLGSs. An interesting phenomenon is observed in that the nonlocal parameter effect is related to the mathematical expression of the transverse load.

Analysis of plane and axisymmetric flows of incompressible fluids with the stream tube method: Numerical simulation by trust-region optimization algorithm

New concepts for the study of incompressible plane or axisymmetric flows are analysed by the stream tube method. Flows without eddies and pure vortex flows are considered in a transformed domain where the mapped streamlines are rectilinear or circular. The transformation between the physical domain and the computational domain is an unknown of the problem. In order to solve the non-linear set of relevant equations, we present a new algorithm based on a trust region technique which is effective for non-convex optimization problems. Experimental results show that the new algorithm is more robust compared to the Newton-Raphson method.     

Hahn-Tsai复合材料的非线性杂交应力有限元方法

成功建立了Hahn-Tsai复合材料模型的非线性杂交应力有限元方程,采用Newton-Raphson迭代法求解结构的非线性位移方程。在迭代过程中,为了提高计算效率可采用简单迭代法由节点位移求解单元应力场。但是,当载荷增加到一定程度以后,非线性应力场由于循环迭代而无法收敛,显然,一般的加速方法不能解决这种循环迭代的发散问题。因此,本文发展了一种确实有效的非线性应力场迭代新方法,在不增加计算工作量的情况下,不仅极大地提高了收敛速度,而且对于较大载荷也能够很好地收敛,从而解决了大载荷下非线性杂交元方法失败的关键问题。数值算例表明该方法是确实可行的。

Analysis of nonlinear stability and post-buckling for Euler-type beam-column structure

Based on the assumption of finite deformation, the Hamilton variational principle is extended to a nonlinear elastic Euler-type beam-column structure located on a nonlinear elastic foundation. The corresponding three-dimensional (3D) mathematical model for anaiyzing the nonlinear mechanical behaviors of structures is established, in which the effects of the rotation inertia and the nonlinearity of material and geometry are considered. As an application, the nonlinear stability and the post-buckling for a linear elastic beam with the equal cross-section located on an elastic foundation are analyzed.One end of the beam is fully fixed, and the other end is partially fixed and subjected to an axial force. A new numerical technique is proposed to calculate the trivial solution,bifurcation points, and bifurcation solutions by the shooting method and the Newton-Raphson iterative method. The first and second bifurcation points and the corresponding bifurcation solutions are calculated successfully. The effects of the foundation resistances and the inertia moments on the bifurcation points are considered.

On the global convergence characteristics of numerically evaluated Jacobian matrices

Since locating all the fixed points of a nonlinear oscillator involves the numerical solution of simultaneous equations, it is useful to observe some of the global convergence characteristics of these techniques. Specifically, the popular Newton or quasi-Newton approaches require numerical evaluation of the Jacobian matrix of the Poincaré map. This note focuses attention on the domains of attraction for a number of fixed point techniques applied to a single nonlinear oscillator with a single set of parameters. Clearly, there are many issues here, including proximity to bifurcations, order of the dynamical system, temporal convergence characteristics, i.e. CPU time, and so on, but it is instructive to observe a snapshot of the basins of attraction, the boundaries of which path-following routines seek to avoid when a parameter is changed.

Improving the convergence behaviour of a fixed‐point‐iteration solver for multiphase flow in porous media

A new method to admit large Courant numbers in the numerical simulation of multiphase flow is presented. The governing equations are discretized in time using an adaptive θ‐method. However, the use of implicit discretizations does not guarantee convergence of the nonlinear solver for large Courant numbers. In this work, a double‐fixed point iteration method with backtracking is presented, which improves both convergence and convergence rate. Moreover, acceleration techniques are presented to yield a more robust nonlinear solver with increased effective convergence rate. The new method reduces the computational effort by strengthening the coupling between saturation and velocity, obtaining an efficient backtracking parameter, using a modified version of Anderson's acceleration and adding vanishing artificial diffusion. © 2016 The Authors.

A numerical analysis of partial slip problems under Hertzian contacts

In this study the tangential partial slip problems in Hertzian contact regions are treated by a numerical technique. The tangential loading may include tangential forces in the contact plane and a twisting moment normal to the contact plane. The Coulomb’s law of friction and the property that the direction of friction must oppose the relative motion lead to nonlinear equations. The Newton-Raphson method is utilized to solve these nonlinear equations. Numerical results for tangential tractions and sizes of stick and slip zones may be determined, and they agree with existing analytical results for circular contacts.     

A local pseudo arc-length method for hyperbolic conservation laws

A local pseudo arc-length method（LPALM）for solving hyperbolic conservation laws is presented in this paper.The key idea of this method comes from the original arc-length method,through which the critical points are bypassed by transforming the computational space.The method is based on local changes of physical variables to choose the discontinuous stencil and introduce the pseudo arc-length parameter,and then transform the governing equations from physical space to arc-length space.In order to solve these equations in arc-length coordinate,it is necessary to combine the velocity of mesh points in the moving mesh method,and then convert the physical variable in arclength space back to physical space.Numerical examples have proved the effectiveness and generality of the new approach for linear equation,nonlinear equation and system of equations with discontinuous initial values.Non-oscillation solution can be obtained by adjusting the parameter and the mesh refinement number for problems containing both shock and rarefaction waves.

A finite element convergence study for shear-thinning flow problems

The solution of the non-linear set of equations arising from the application of the finite element method to non-Newtonian fluid flow problems often requires large amounts of computer time. Four iteration schemes (Picard, Newton-Raphson, Broyden and Dominant Eigenvalue method) are compared in three different flow geometries using a shear-thinning fluid model. Points of comparison involve the computer time necessary to converge the equations, ease of implementation, radius of convergence and rate of convergence.
