Engineers use the explicit Newmark integration method to analyze nonlinear dynamic problems. Instead of using computationally expensive global matrix assembly and factorization, the explicit integration method performs computations at element level which is computationally efficient, easily parallelizable, and does not require equilibrium iterations in case of nonlinear analysis. On the other hand, the explicit schema might require much smaller time steps compared to implicit integration alternative especially for models with high stiffness and low mass density. A problem type that might suffer from such a disadvantage is the seismic analysis of dams and their foundation. In these type of problems, the foundation is usually assumed massless in order to model the wave propagation realistically. For this purpose the foundation is modeled with zero or very small mass density which makes the use of explicit integration method almost impossible. Modeling the foundation with zero mass would result in indefinite solutions and modeling the foundation with very small mass density would result in very small time steps, and make the analysis computationally inefficient. In this study, static condensation method is utilized to reduce the full stiffness matrix of the foundation to the degrees of freedom at the dam-foundation interface. This way the foundation can be modeled with zero mass and integrated by the explicit Newmark integration method. Thus, an explicit integration algorithm with static condensation was implemented on a previously developed high performance parallel finite element analysis framework and tested on a 32 cores high performance computing system. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed approach was examined by performing nonlinear time history analysis on several 3D dam and foundation models with different mesh densities.

Dynamic programming for a Markov-switching jump-diffusion Azevedo, N.; Pinheiro, D.; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Elsevier BV, 2014-09-01) We consider an optimal control problem with a deterministic finite horizon and state variable dynamics given by a Markov-switching jump-diffusion stochastic differential equation. Our main results extend the dynamic programming technique to this larger family of stochastic optimal control problems. More specifically, we provide a detailed proof of Bellman's optimality principle (or dynamic programming principle) and obtain the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Belman equation, which turns out to be a partial in...
Integral manifolds of differential equations with piecewise constant argument of generalized type Akhmet, Marat (Elsevier BV, 2007-01-15) In this paper we introduce a general type of differential equations with piecewise constant argument (EPCAG). The existence of global integral manifolds of the quasilinear EPCAG is established when the associated linear homogeneous system has an exponential dichotomy. The smoothness of the manifolds is investigated. The existence of bounded and periodic solutions is considered. A new technique of investigation of equations with piecewise argument, based on an integral representation formula, is proposed. Ap...
Nonautonomous Bifurcations in Nonlinear Impulsive Systems Akhmet, Marat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-01-01) In this paper, we study existence of the bounded solutions and asymptotic behavior of an impulsive Bernoulli equations. Nonautonomous pitchfork and transcritical bifurcation scenarios are investigated. An examples with numerical simulations are given to illustrate our results.
Asymptotic behavior of Markov semigroups on preduals of von Neumann algebras Ernel'yanov, EY; Wolff, MPH (Elsevier BV, 2006-02-15) We develop a new approach for investigation of asymptotic behavior of Markov semigroup on preduals of von Neumann algebras. With using of our technique we establish several results about mean ergodicity, statistical stability, and constrictiviness of Markov semigroups. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
NORMAL SOLVABILITY OF ELLIPTIC BOUNDARY-VALUE-PROBLEMS ON ASYMPTOTICALLY FLAT MANIFOLDS ERKIP, AK; SCHROHE, E (Elsevier BV, 1992-10-01) Normal solvability is shown for a class of boundary value problems on Riemannian manifolds with noncompact boundary using a concept of weighted pseudodifferential operators and weighted Sobolev spaces together with Lopatinski-Shapiro type boundary conditions. An essential step is to show that the standard normal derivative defined in terms of the Riemannian metric is in fact a weighted pseudodifferential operator of the considered class provided the metric is compatible with the symbols.
