Hermite Finite Element Method for Vibration Problem of Euler-Bernoulli Beam on Viscoelastic Pasternak Foundation

Viscoelastic foundation plays a very important role in civil engineering. It can effectively disperse the structural load into the foundation soil and avoid the damage caused by the concentrated load. The model of Euler-Bernoulli beam on viscoelastic Pasternak foundation can be used to analyze the deformation and response of buildings under complex geological conditions. In this paper, we use Hermite finite element method to get the numerical approximation scheme for the vibration equation of viscoelastic Pasternak foundation beam. Convergence and error estimation are rigourously established. We prove that the fully discrete scheme has convergence order O(τ2+h4), where τis time step size and his space step size. Finally, we give four numerical examples to verify the validity of theoretical analysis.

Hermite Finite Element Method for a Class of Viscoelastic Beam Vibration Problem

Beam equation can describe the deformation of beams and reflect various bending problems and it has been widely used in large engineering projects, bridge construction, aerospace and other fields. It has important engineering practice value and scientific significance for the design of numerical schemes. In this paper, a scheme for vibration equation of viscoelastic beam is developed by using the Hermite finite element. Based on an elliptic projection, the errors of semi-discrete scheme and fully discrete scheme are analyzed respectively, and the optimal L2-norm error estimates are obtained. Finally, a numerical example is given to verify the theoretical predictions and the validity of the scheme.

Two-order Hermite vector-interpolating subdivision schemes

A family of two-order Hermite vector-interpolating subdivision schemes is proposed and its convergence and con- tinuity are analyzed. The iterative level can be estimated for given error. The sufficient conditions of C2 continuity are proved. Geometric features of subdivision curves, such as line segments, cusps and inflection points, are obtained by appending some conditions to initial vectorial Hermite sequence. An algorithm is presented for generating geometric features. For an initial se- quence of two-order Hermite elements from unit circle, the numerical error of the 4th subdivided level is O(10?4).
