This study develops an optimized finite difference iterative （OFDI） scheme for the two-dimensional （2D） viscoelastic wave equation. The OFDI scheme is obtained using a proper orthogonal decomposition （POD） method. It has sufficiently high accuracy with very few unknowns for the 2D viscoelastic wave equation. Existence, stability, and convergence of the OFDI solutions are analyzed. Numerical simulations verify efficiency and feasibility of the proposed scheme.

GENERAL DYNAMIC EQUATION AND DYNAMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF VISCOELASTIC TIMOSHENKO BEAMS

In this paper, a governing differential equation of viscoelastic Timoshenko beam including both extension and shear viscosity is developed in the time domain by direct method. To measure the complex moduli and three parameters of standard linear solid, the forced vibration technique of beam is successfully used for PCL and PMMA specimens. The dynamical characteristics of viscoelastic Timoshenko beams, especially the damping properties, are derived from a considerable number of numerical computations. The analyses show that the viscosity of materials has great influence on dynamical characteristics of structures, especially on damping, and the standard linear solid model is the better one for describing the dynamic behavior of high viscous materials.

The standard finite elements of degree p over the rectangular meshes are applied to solve a kind of nonlinear viscoelastic wave equations with nonlinear boundary conditions, and the superclose property of the continuous Galerkin approximation is derived without using the nonclassical elliptic projection of the exact solution of the model problem. The global superconvergence of one order higher than the traditional error estimate is also obtained through the postprocessing technique.

A splitting positive definite mixed finite element method is proposed for second-order viscoelasticity wave equation. The proposed procedure can be split into three independent symmetric positive definite integro-differential sub-system and does not need to solve a coupled system of equations. Error estimates are derived for both semidiscrete and fully discrete schemes. The existence and uniqueness for semidiscrete scheme are proved. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the efficiency of the method.
