In this study, we aim to analyze the effects of several boundary variations on the spectrum of the simplified and generalized Steklov eigenvalue problems (EVPs) in which the spectral parameter resides on the boundary. We mainly focus on assessing the errors that may occur due to the finite element discretization using elements having straight edges to a curved boundary. In this respect, we analytically and numerically analyze the influence of the change in the boundary such as in uniformly expanded discs or in regular polygons inscribed in the unit disc, on the spectrum of both types of Steklov EVPs. We derive Hadamard type variational formulas for both simple and multiple eigenvalues of the generalized Steklov EVP, and thus provide the convergence of the perturbed-domain solutions to those on the unit disc as boundaries of these domains approach to that of the unit disc. We also provide the finite element analysis of the simplified Steklov EVP together with a proof of convergence based on the spectral theory that is not included in the one which has already been applied to the corresponding generalized case.

FINITE DIFFERENCE APPROXIMATIONS OF VARIOUS STEKLOV EIGENVALUE PROBLEMS
ÖZALP, MÜCAHİT; Bozkaya, Canan; Türk, Önder; Department of Mathematics (2022-8-26)
In this thesis, the finite difference method (FDM) is employed to numerically solve differently defined Steklov eigenvalue problems (EVPs) that are characterized by the existence of a spectral parameter on the whole or a part of the domain boundary. The FDM approximation of the Laplace EVP is also considered due to the fact that the defining differential operator in a Steklov EVP is the Laplace operator. The fundamentals of FDM are covered and their applications on some BVPs involving Laplace operator are d...
A DRBEM Approach for the STOKES Eigenvalue Problem
Tezer, Münevver; Türk, Önder (2016-07-04)
In this study, we propose a novel approach based on the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) to approximate the solutions of various Steklov eigenvalue problems. The method consists in weighting the governing differential equation with the fundamental solutions of the Laplace equation where the definition of interior nodes is not necessary for the solution on the boundary. DRBEM constitutes a promising tool to characterize such problems due to the fact that the boundary conditions on part or all...
Generalized finitedifference method in elastodynamics using perfectly matched layer
Korkut, Fuat; Tokdemir, Turgut; Department of Engineering Sciences (2012)
This study deals with the use of the generalized finite difference method (GFDM) in perfectly matched layer (PML) analysis of the problems in wave mechanics, in particular, in elastodynamics. It is known that PML plays the role of an absorbing layer, for an unbounded domain, eliminating reflections of waves for all directions of incidence and frequencies. The study is initiated for purpose of detecting any possible advantages of using GFDM in PML analysis: GFDM is a meshless method suitable for any geometry...
Probabilistic Slope Stability Analyses Using Limit Equilibrium and Finite Element Methods
Akbas, Burak; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan (2015-10-16)
This paper compares the results of different probabilistic approaches and emphasizes the necessity of probabilistic analyses in slope stability studies. To do that, Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) are utilized and their outputs are compared in terms of probability of failure (PF), reliability index (RI), factor of safety (FS) and the failure surface. Lastly, concept of Random Finite Element Method (RFEM) is studied and effects of spatial correlation distance are investigated.
Analysis of RC walls with a mixed formulation frame finite element
Sarıtaş, Afşin (2013-10-01)
This paper presents a mixed formulation frame element with the assumptions of the Timoshenko shear beam theory for displacement field and that accounts for interaction between shear and normal stress at material level. Nonlinear response of the element is obtained by integration of section response, which in turn is obtained by integration of material response. Satisfaction of transverse equilibrium equations at section includes the interaction between concrete and transverse reinforcing steel. A 3d plastic...
