Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立海洋大學 === 河海工程學系 === 90 === We provide a perspective on the degenerate problems, including degenerate scale, degenerate boundary, spurious eigensolution and fictitious frequency, in the boundary integral formulation. All the degenerate problems originate from the rank deficiency in the influence matrix. Both the Fredholm alternative theorem and singular value decomposition (SVD) technique are employed to study the degenerate problems. Updating terms and updating documents of the SVD technique are utilized. The roles of right and left unitary vectors of the influence matrices in BEM and their relations to true, spurious and fictitious modes are examined by using the Fredholm alternative theorem. A unified method for dealing with the degenerate problem in BEM is proposed. For the degenerate scale problem, three regularization techniques, hypersingular formulation, method of adding a rigid body mode and CHEEF concept, are employed to deal with the rank-deficiency problem. Instead of direct searching for the degenerate scale by trial and error, a more efficient technique is proposed to directly obtain the singular case since only one normal scale needs to be computed. The existence of degenerate scale is proved for the two-dimensional Laplace problem using the integral formulation. The addition of a rigid body term, $c$, in the fundamental solution can shift the original degenerate scale to a new degenerate scale by a factor $e^{-c}$. Instead of using either the multi-domain BEM or the dual BEM for degenerate-boundary problems, the eigensolutions for membranes with stringers are obtained in a single domain by using the conventional BEM in conjunction with the SVD technique. The occuring mechanism of both the spurious and fictitious eigensolutions are unified by using the Fredholm alternative theorem and SVD technique. The criterion to check the validity of CHIEF and CHEEF points is also addressed. Several examples are demonstrated to check the validity of the proposed method.
