A hybrid surface integral equation partial differential equation (SIE-PDE) formulation without the boundary condition requirement is proposed to solve the electromagnetic problems. In the proposed formulation, the computational domain is decomposed into two emph{overlapping} domains: the SIE and PDE domains. In the SIE domain, complex structures with piecewise homogeneous media, e.g., highly conductive media, are included. An equivalent model for those structures is constructed through replacing them by the background medium and introducing a surface equivalent electric current density on an enclosed boundary to represent their electromagnetic effects. The remaining computational domain and homogeneous background medium replaced domain consist of the PDE domain, in which inhomogeneous or non-isotropic media are included. Through combining the surface equivalent electric current density and the inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation, a hybrid SIE-PDE formulation is derived. Unlike other hybrid formulations, where the transmission condition is usually used, no boundary conditions are required in the proposed SIE-PDE formulation, and it is mathematically equivalent to the original physical model. Through careful construction of basis functions to expand electric fields and the equivalent current density, the discretized formulation is compatible on the interface of the SIE and PDE domain. Finally, its accuracy and efficiency are validated through two numerical examples. Results show that the proposed SIE-PDE formulation can obtain accurate results including both near and far fields, and significant performance improvements in terms of CPU time and memory consumption compared with the FEM are achieved.

We show that for the simulation of crack propagation in quasi-brittle, two-dimensional solids, very good results can be obtained with an embedded strong discontinuity quadrilateral finite element that has incompatible modes. Even more importantly, we
demonstrate that these results can be obtained without using a crack tracking algorithm. Therefore, the simulation of crack patterns with several cracks, including branching, becomes possible. The avoidance of a tracking algorithm is mainly enabled by the application of a novel, local (Gauss-point based) criterion for crack nucleation, which determines the time of embedding the localisation line as well as its position and orientation. We treat the crack evolution in terms of a thermodynamical framework, with softening variables describing internal dissipative mechanisms of material degradation. As presented by numerical examples, many elements in the mesh may develop a crack, but only some of them actually open and/or slide, dissipate fracture energy, and eventually form the crack pattern. The novel approach has been implemented for statics and dynamics, and the results of computed difficult examples (including Kalthoffs test) illustrate its very satisfying performance. It effectively overcomes unfavourable restrictions of the standard embedded strong discontinuity formulations, namely the simulation of the propagation of a single crack only. Moreover, it is computationally fast and straightforward to implement. Our numerical solutions match the results of experimental tests and previously reported numerical results in terms of crack pattern, dissipated fracture energy, and load-displacement curve.
We present a 3D hybrid method which combines the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the Spectral Boundary Integral method (SBIM) to model nonlinear problems in unbounded domains. The flexibility of FEM is used to model the complex, heterogeneous, and no
nlinear part -- such as the dynamic rupture along a fault with near fault plasticity -- and the high accuracy and computational efficiency of SBIM is used to simulate the exterior half spaces perfectly truncating all incident waves. The exact truncation allows us to greatly reduce the domain of spatial discretization compared to a traditional FEM approach, leading to considerable savings in computational cost and memory requirements. The coupling of FEM and SBIM is achieved by the exchange of traction and displacement boundary conditions at the computationally defined boundary. The method is suited to implementation on massively parallel computers. We validate the developed method by means of a benchmark problem. Three more complex examples with a low velocity fault zone, low velocity off-fault inclusion, and interaction of multiple faults, respectively, demonstrate the capability of the hybrid scheme in solving problems of very large sizes. Finally, we discuss potential applications of the hybrid method for problems in geophysics and engineering.
Stable and accurate modeling of thin shells requires proper enforcement of all types of boundary conditions. Unfortunately, for Kirchhoff-Love shells, strong enforcement of Dirichlet boundary conditions is difficult because both functional and deriva
tive boundary conditions must be applied. A popular alternative is to employ Nitsches method to weakly enforce all boundary conditions. However, while many Nitsche-based formulations have been proposed in the literature, they lack comprehensive error analyses and verifications. In fact, existing formulations are variationally inconsistent and yield sub-optimal convergence rates when used with common boundary condition specifications. In this paper, we present a novel Nitsche-based formulation for the linear Kirchhoff-Love shell that is provably stable and optimally convergent for general sets of admissible boundary conditions. To arrive at our formulation, we first present a framework for constructing Nitsches method for any abstract variational constrained minimization problem. We then apply this framework to the linear Kirchhoff-Love shell and, for the particular case of NURBS-based isogeometric analysis, we prove that the resulting formulation yields optimal convergence rates in both the shell energy norm and the standard $L^2$-norm. In the process, we derive the Euler-Lagrange equations for general sets of admissible boundary conditions and show that the Euler-Lagrange boundary conditions typically presented in the literature is incorrect. We verify our formulation by manufacturing solutions for a new shell obstacle course that encompasses flat, parabolic, hyperbolic, and elliptic geometric configurations. These manufactured solutions allow us to robustly measure the error across the entire shell in contrast with current best practices where displacement and stress errors are only measured at specific locations.
We propose a numerical method for the solution of electromagnetic problems on axisymmetric domains, based on a combination of a spectral Fourier approximation in the azimuthal direction with an IsoGeometric Analysis (IGA) approach in the radial and a
xial directions. This combination allows to blend the flexibility and accuracy of IGA approaches with the advantages of a Fourier representation on axisymmetric domains. It also allows to reduce significantly the computational cost by decoupling of the computations required for each Fourier mode. We prove that the discrete approximation spaces employed functional space constitute a closed and exact de Rham sequence. Numerical simulations of relevant benchmarks confirm the high order convergence and other computational advantages of the proposed method.
In this work we continue our research on nonharmonic analysis of boundary value problems as initiated in our recent paper (IMRN 2016). There, we assumed that the eigenfunctions of the model operator on which the construction is based do not have zero
s. In this paper we have weakened this condition extending the applicability of the developed pseudo-differential analysis. Also, we do not assume that the underlying set is bounded.
