Correction Factors in Series Solutions for One- and Two-Dimensional Boundary Value Problems
Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 133, Issue 11
Abstract
A Fourier cum polynomial series solution with correction factors is presented herein for differential equations with variable coefficients. The differential equations correspond to a wide range of boundary value problems. The correction factors included herein are: (1) modified Lanczos correction; (2) Bessel ; and (3) loading correction factor. These correction factors are introduced in terms of Fourier and polynomial series. The main purpose of using correction factors through a set of series is to improve convergence of the proposed solution, using the first two terms of the series. For the loading correction factor, a Fourier series expansion coupled with orthogonality conditions leads to evaluating undetermined Fourier coefficients of arbitrarily applied loads using concepts of summation equations. Representative boundary value problems are provided to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the first two terms of the proposed solution with correction factors.
