Isogeometric dual reciprocity BEM for solving non-Fourier transient heat transfer problems in FGMs with uncertainty analysis

Abstract

In this paper, the precise integration multi-patch isogeometric dual reciprocity boundary element method (IG-DRBEM) of the non-Fourier transient heat transfer problem in functionally graded materials (FGMs) is proposed, and the stochastic analysis of multidimensional material uncertainty by hyperbolic truncated adaptive sparse polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) is established based on the determine theory. Up to now, most research results of the isogeometric analysis boundary element method (IGABEM) in transient heat transfer problems are based on Fourier's law. The main reason is the higher-order derivative term with respect to time in the non-Fourier heat transfer control equation leads to additional domain integrals in the boundary-domain integral equation. The dual reciprocity method (DRM) can transform the domain integral to the boundary conveniently and maintain the dimension reduction advantage of the BEM. The introduction of the precise integration method (PIM) can improve the stability and accuracy of the time-domain solution. In the random analysis based on IG-DRBEM, a sparse PCE strategy with hyperbolic truncation is constructed to overcome the dimensional disaster difficulty of traditional PCE. Through the proposed adaptive iterative process, a relatively small number of PCE terms are retained compared with the full PCE on the premise of meeting the error estimation requirements. The presented method is verified to have good accuracy and high efficiency by the complex model similar to actual engineering, which further expands the application extent of IG-DRBEM.
