Reliability in EngineeringComputing
For most engineering systems, exact solutions to partial differential equations cannot be obtained.
Numerical methods have been developed to approximate the true solutions by discretizing the governing partial differential equation.
Due to the increase in computing power, many experiments are replaced with numerical simulations.
Thus, there is a growing need for reliability in engineering computing.

Reliability in EngineeringComputing (Cont.)
To achieve reliable solutions, the following causes of uncertainty must be addressed:
Uncertainty in the parameters of the system (i.e. material properties)
Uncertainty in boundary conditions
Errors in numerical integration
Errors in solving the resulting linear system of equations
Discretization errors
![Page 4: Point-wise Discretization Errors in Boundary Element Method for Elasticity Problem Bart F. Zalewski Case Western Reserve University Robert L. Mullen Case](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649cae5503460f9497210f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why Intervals?
Interval approach is one potential mechanism for handling errors and uncertainties in an integrated and elegant fashion.
Intervals have been used to treat truncation errors, integration errors, and uncertain parameters (p-boxes).

Boundary Element Analysis
Boundary Element Analysis (BEA) is a method for obtaining approximate solutions of partial differential equations.
BEA reduces the dimension of the problem by transforming domain variables to variables on the boundary of the domain using Green’s functions.
The transformed boundary integral equations are solved using collocation methods in which the weighted residual exists only on the boundary of the system.
Source points are located sequentially at all boundary nodes that map domain variables such that they coincide to their nodal values.

The boundary element formulation requires that the weighted residual exists only on the boundary of the domain. This condition is satisfied if the weighted residual function is chosen as the Green’s function which is obtained by applying a concentrated force in direction at a source point as:
is the field point at which the response to the concentrated force is measured. The resulting fundamental solution is:

Kernel Splitting Technique
The kernel splitting technique has been used to bound Fredholm Equations of the First Kind in which the left hand side is deterministic (Dobner 2002). The boundary element integral equations have an interval left hand side and therefore an extended approach is developed.

The interval bounds obtained by the solver are not sharp since the dependency of the location of the source point has not been considered.
The uniqueness of the problem is not preserved since two source points are allowed to have the same location at one time resulting in rectangular matrices.
The parameterization considers each source point to have a unique location and allows for sharper interval bounds.

The second example shows the behavior of the solution for a hexagonal plate in tension. A symmetry model is considered to decrease computational time.

In this work, the point-wise discretization error is bounded using interval methods for the boundary element analysis of the elasticity problem.
The examples presented show the capability of the method to enclose the true solution with a desired accuracy.
The discretization error is shown to converge with the increasing number of elements, which is the expected behavior.
The interval width can be decreased with further parameterization for which the computational cost increases linearly.
Conclusions
