J. Kralik and J. Kralik, jr. Department of Structural Mechanics, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, 810 05 Bratislava, Slovakia Received 28/02/2020, Revised 21/07/2020, Accepted 28/10/2020 Abstract: Engineering structures are designed to resist all expected loadings without failure. However, structural failures do happen occasionally, mainly due to inadequate design and construction, […]

Fundamental Solution Method for Periodic Plane Elasticity

Issues 3-4 Volume 03

Keywords: fundamental solution method, periodic plane elasticity Abstract: We present a fundamental solution method for elasticity problems of planes with one-dimensional periodic structure, to which it is difficult to apply the conventional fundamental solution method. We propose an approximate solution of the fundamental solution method which is modi ed so that it is suitable to

B-series and B-series Coefficients

Issues 1-2 Volume 05

J. C. Butcher2 Department of Mathematics, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Received February 8, 2010; accepted in revised form February 22, 2010. Abstract: B-series, together with the algebraic system which underpins them, are essential tools in the study of properties of numerical methods for evolutionary problems. This paper surveys the properties of these constructs

On High Order MIRK Schemes and Hermite-Birkhoff Interpolants

Issues 1-2 Volume 01

Date of Online Publication: 26/08/2006 Authors: S. D. Capper and D. R. Moore Pages: 27-47 Mono-Implicit Runge-Kutta (MIRK) formulae present an effective means for solving general non-linear two-point boundary value problems. High order finite difference schemes provide significant savings in both computational time and memory when the problem exhibits the required smoothness. In this paper

Simulation and Inversion of Seismic Wave Propagation on Continental Scales Based on a Spectral-Element Method

Issues 1-2 Volume 04

Keywords: seismic tomography, spectral-element method, adjoint-method, Australia Abstract: We propose a novel technique for seismic waveform tomography on continental scales. This is based on the fully numerical simulation of wave propagation in complex Earth models, the inversion of complete waveforms and the quantification of the waveform discrepancies through a specially designed phase misfit. The numerical
