Connections Between the Meshfree Peridynamics Discretization and Graph Laplacian for Transient Diffusion Problems

Abstract

Formulations for diffusion processes based on graph Laplacian kernels have been recently used to solve linear transient heat transfer problems with insulated boundary conditions by way of a spectral-based semi-analytical approach. This has been called the “spectral graph” (SG) approach. In this paper, we show that the meshfree discretization for corresponding peridynamic (PD) models leads to a graph structure that allows us to introduce the “graph Laplacian PD” (GL-PD) method using the semi-analytical approach employed in the SG approach to solve the transient heat diffusion problems. The new method, GL-PD, can be seen as a “hybrid” between SG and PD with meshfree discretization. We discuss the similarities and differences between the GL-PD and the SG approaches. Main differences are related to calibration and discretization procedures. We use a 1D heat diffusion example to highlight some limitations the spectral-based semi-analytical method in the SG approach has compared with the direct time-integration normally used in computing solutions to transient diffusion problems. We then propose an extension of the semi-analytical approach to solve transient diffusion problems with Dirichlet boundary conditions, using a recent scaling and squaring algorithm that calculates the matrix exponential of non-symmetric matrices.
