B-Spline Wavelet on Interval Finite Element Method for Static and Vibration Analysis of Stiffened Flexible Thin Plate

A new wavelet finite element method(WFEM)is constructed in this paper and two elements for bending and free vibration problems of a stiffened plate are analyzed.By means of generalized potential energy function and virtual work principle,the formulations of the bending and free vibration problems of the stiffened plate are derived separately.Then,the scaling functions of the B-spline wavelet on the interval(BSWI)are introduced to discrete the solving field variables instead of conventional polynomial interpolation.Finally,the corresponding two problems can be resolved following the traditional finite element frame.There are some advantages of the constructed elements in structural analysis.Due to the excellent features of the wavelet,such as multi-scale and localization characteristics,and the excellent numerical approximation property of the BSWI,the precise and efficient analysis can be achieved.Besides,transformation matrix is used to translate the meaningless wavelet coefficients into physical space,thus the resolving process is simplified.In order to verify the superiority of the constructed method in stiffened plate analysis,several numerical examples are given in the end.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF WAVELET-BASED TRUNCATED CONICAL SHELL ELEMENT USING B-SPLINE WAVELET ON THE INTERVAL

Based on B-spline wavelet on the interval （BSWI）, two classes of truncated conical shell elements were constructed to solve axisymmetric problems, i.e. BSWI thin truncated conical shell element and BSWI moderately thick truncated conical shell element with independent slopedeformation interpolation. In the construction of wavelet-based element, instead of traditional polynomial interpolation, the scaling functions of BSWI were employed to form the shape functions through the constructed elemental transformation matrix, and then construct BSWI element via the variational principle. Unlike the process of direct wavelets adding in the wavelet Galerkin method, the elemental displacement field represented by the coefficients of wavelets expansion was transformed into edges and internal modes via the constructed transformation matrix. BSWI element combines the accuracy of B-spline function approximation and various wavelet-based elements for structural analysis. Some static and dynamic numerical examples of conical shells were studied to demonstrate the present element with higher efficiency and precision than the traditional element.

Edge detection of molten pool and weld line for CO_2 welding based on B-spline wavelet

Due to the disturbances of spatters, dusts and strong arc light, it is difficult to detect the molten pool edge and the weld line location in CO_2 welding processes. The median filtering and self-multiplication was employed to preprocess the image of the CO_2 welding in order to detect effectively the edge of molten pool and the location of weld line. The B-spline wavelet algorithm has been investigated, the influence of different scales and thresholds on the results of the edge detection have been compared and analyzed. The experimental results show that better performance to extract the edge of the molten pool and the location of weld line can be obtained by using the B-spline wavelet transform. The proposed edge detection approach can be further applied to the control of molten depth and the seam tracking.

The calculations from a case history indicate that the method provides high accuracy and the computational efficiency is enhanced due to the small matrix derived from this method.The respective features of 3-spline wavelet scaling functions,4-spline wavelet scaling functions and quasi-wavelet used to solve the two-dimensional unsteady diffusion equation are compared. The proposed method has potential applications in many fields including marine science.

4TH-ORDER SPLINE WAVELETS ON A BOUNDED INTERVAL

The 4th-order spline wavelets an a bounded interval are constructed by the 4th-order truncated B-spline functions. These wavelets consist of inner and boundary wavelets. They are bases of wavelet space with finite dimensions. Arty function on an interval will be expanded as the sum of finite items of the scaling functions and wavelets. It plays an important role for numerical analysis of partial differential equations, signal processes, and other similar problems.

Multiresolution for Closed Curves and Surfaces Using Wavelets

Multiresolution modeling is becoming a powerful tool for fast display, and geometric data compression and transmission of complex shapes. Most of the existing literatures investigating the multiresolution for B-spline curves and surfaces are concentrated on open ones. In this paper, we focus on the multiresolution representations and editing of closed B-spline curves and surfaces using wavelets. A repetition approach is adopted for the multiresolution analysis of closed B-spline curves and surfaces. Since the closed curve or surface itself is periodic, it can overcome the drawback brought by the repetition method, i.e. introducing the discontinuities at the boundaries. Based on the models at different multiresolution levels, the multiresolution editing methods of closed curves and surfaces are introduced. Users can edit the overall shape of a closed one while preserving its details, or change its details without affecting its overall shape.

Analysis of a Gyroscope′s Rotor Nonlinear Supported Magnetic Field Based on the B-Spline Wavelet-FEM

A supported framework of a gyroscope＇s rotor is designed and the B-Spline wavelet finite element model of nonlinear supported magnetic field is worked out. A new finite element space is studied in which the scaling function of the B-spline wavelet is considered as the shape function of a tetrahedton. The magnetic field is spited by an artificial absorbing body which used the condition of field radiating, so the solution is unique. The resolution is improved via the varying gradient of the B-spline function under the condition of unchanging gridding. So there are some advantages in dealing with the focus flux and a high varying gradient result from a nonlinear magnetic field. The result is more practical. Plots of flux and in the space is studied via simulating the supported system model. The results of the study are useful in the research of the supported magnetic system for the gyroscope rotor.

Wavelet-Based Fractal Function Approximation

In this paper, we study on the application of radical B-spline wavelet scaling function in fractal function approximation system. The paper proposes a wavelet-based fractal function approximation algorithm in which the coefficients can be determined by solving a convex quadraticprogramming problem. And the experiment result shows that the approximation error of this algorithm is smaller than that of the polynomial-based fractal function approximation. This newalgorithm exploits the consistency between fractal and scaling function in multi-scale and multiresolution, has a better approximation effect and high potential in data compression, especially inimage compression.

Study on spline wavelet finite-element method in multi-scale analysis for foundation

A new finite element method （FEM） of B-spline wavelet on the interval （BSWI） is proposed. Through analyzing the scaling functions of BSWI in one dimension, the basic formula for 2D FEM of BSWI is deduced. The 2D FEM of 7 nodes and 10 nodes are constructed based on the basic formula. Using these proposed elements, the multiscale numerical model for foundation subjected to harmonic periodic load, the foundation model excited by external and internal dynamic load are studied. The results show the pro- posed finite elements have higher precision than the tradi- tional elements with 4 nodes. The proposed finite elements can describe the propagation of stress waves well whenever the foundation model excited by extemal or intemal dynamic load. The proposed finite elements can be also used to con- nect the multi-scale elements. And the proposed finite elements also have high precision to make multi-scale analysis for structure.

Modification of Multiple Knot B-Spline Wavelet for Solving (Partially) Dirichlet Boundary Value Problem

A construction of multiple knot B-spline wavelets has been given in[C.K.Chui and E.Quak,Wavelet on a bounded interval,In:D.Braess and L.L.Schumaker,editors.Numerical methods of approximation theory.Basel:Birkhauser Verlag;(1992),pp.57–76].In this work,we first modify these wavelets to solve the elliptic(partially)Dirichlet boundary value problems by Galerkin and Petrov Galerkin methods.We generalize this construction to two dimensional case by Tensor product space.In addition,the solution of the system discretized by Galerkin method with modified multiple knot B-spline wavelets is discussed.We also consider a nonlinear partial differential equation for unsteady flows in an open channel called Saint-Venant.Since the solving of this problem by some methods such as finite difference and finite element produce unsuitable approximations specially in the ends of channel,it is solved by multiple knot B-spline wavelet method that yields a very well approximation.Finally,some numerical examples are given to support our theoretical results.

Multiscale B-spline wavelet for edge detection

Based on the theory of B-spline, a new family of multiscale wavelet transforms has been presented. The edge of signals can be efficiently represented and detected through its zero-crossing or modulus maxima. For B-spline of order n, the fast algorithms for decomposition and reconstruction have been derived. Also the impulse and frequency responses of the corresponding decomposition and reconstruction filters are given explicitly. In terms of time/frequeny localization it has been proved that cubic B-spline is nearly optimal for most applications. The results have also laid a basis for further applications to stereo vision matching, denoising, etc.

The Multi-scale Method for Solving Nonlinear Time Space Fractional Partial Differential Equations

In this paper, we present a new algorithm to solve a kind of nonlinear time space-fractional partial differential equations on a finite domain. The method is based on B-spline wavelets approximations, some of these functions are reshaped to satisfy on boundary conditions exactly. The Adams fractional method is used to reduce the problem to a system of equations. By multiscale method this system is divided into some smaller systems which have less computations. We get an approximated solution which is more accurate on some subdomains by combining the solutions of these systems. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of our proposed technique, also the stability of the method is discussed.

Multivariable wavelet finite element for flexible skew thin plate analysis

Flexible skew thin plate is widely used in mechanical engineering,architectural engineering and structural engineering.High-precision analysis is very important for structural design and improvement.In this paper,the multivariable wavelet finite element(MWFE)based on B-spline wavelet on the interval(BSWI)is constructed for flexible skew thin plate analysis.First,the finite element formulation is derived from multivariable generalized potential energy function.Then the generalized field variables are interpolated and calculated by BSWI.Different from the traditional wavelet finite element,the analysis precision can be improved because the generalized displacement and stress field variables are interpolated and calculated independently,the secondary calculation and the computational error are avoided.In order to verify the effectiveness of the constructed MWFE,several numerical examples are given in the end.

THE ANALYSIS OF SHALLOW SHELLS BASED ON MULTIVARIABLE WAVELET FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

Based on the generalized variational principle and B-spline wavelet on the interval （BSWI）, the multivariable BSWI elements with two kinds of variables （TBSWI） for hyperboloidal shell and open cylindrical shell are constructed in this paper. Different from the traditional method, the present one treats the generalized displacement and stress as independent variables. So differentiation and integration are avoided in calculating generalized stress and thus the precision is improved. Furthermore, compared with commonly used Daubechies wavelet, BSWI has explicit expression and excellent approximation property and thus further guarantee satisfactory results. Finally, the efficiency of the constructed multivariable shell elements is validated through several numerical examples.
