An h-hierarchical adaptive scaled boundary finite element method for elastodynamics
This study develops an adaptive SBFEM method for elastodynamic modelling for the first time. The method achieved same level of accuracy as FEM but with only 5-10% degrees of freedom of the latter, offering huge computational time savings. This paper together with other 20+ international journal papers on SBFEM from Yang’s group, led to a prestigious 2011 ICACM Young Investigator Award to Yang, by International Chinese Association of Computational Mechanics, recognising “outstanding accomplishments, particularly outstanding published papers on computational mechanics, by researchers 40 or younger” (fewer than 5 awarded every two years worldwide).
