A new dual reciprocity hybrid boundary node method based on Shepard and Taylor interpolation method and Chebyshev polynomials

Abstract

A new dual reciprocity hybrid boundary node method (DHBNM) is proposed in this paper, in which the Shepard and Taylor interpolation method (STIM) and Chebyshev polynomials interpolation are proposed. Firstly, the Shepard interpolation is used to construct zero level shape function, and the high-power shape functions are constructed through the Taylor expansion, and through those two methods, no inversion is needed in the whole process of the shape function construction. Besides, Chebyshev polynomials are used as the basis functions for particular solution interpolation instead of the conical function, radial basis functions, and the analytical solutions of the basic form of particular solutions related to Chebyshev polynomials for elasticity are obtained, by means of this method, no internal node is needed, and interpolation coefficients can be given as explicit functions, so no inversion is needed for particular solution interpolation, which costs a large amount of computational expense for the traditional method. Based on those two methods, a new dual reciprocity hybrid boundary node method is developed, compared to the traditional DHBNM, no inversion is needed for both shape function construction and particular solution interpolation, which greatly improves the computational efficiency, and no internal node is needed for particular solution interpolation. Numerical examples are given to illustrate that the present method is accurate and effective.
