    Application of Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) Method to Three Dimensional Elasto-Plastic Problems Based on Deformation Theory of Plasticity

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.77, No.1, pp. 1-32, 2011, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2011.077.001
    Abstract In this paper, a meshless method based on the local petrov-galerkin approach is proposed for the three dimensional (3D) elasto-plastic problems. Galerkin weak-form formulation is applied to derive the discrete governing equations. A weak formulation for the set of governing equations is transformed into local integral equations on local sub-domains by using a unit test function. Nodal points are distributed in the 3D analyzed domain and each node is surrounded by a cubic sub-domain to which a local integral equation is applied. Three dimensional Moving Least-Square (MLS) approximation is used as shape function to approximate the field variable of scattered… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.77, No.1, pp. 33-56, 2011, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2011.077.033
    Abstract Slender yarn structure made from natural fibers, nano-fibers, carbon nanotubes or other types of fibrous materials is all formed by twisting an assembly of short or long fibers and its performance is significantly influenced by the physical behavior of these fibers in the slender yarn forming region - a small triangle area called spinning triangle. In this paper, a new generalized FEM model of spinning triangle has been developed to theoretically analyze the fiber structural and mechanical performance in fabrication of these slender yarn structures. In this proposed model, a geometrical model of spinning triangle is developed and the initial… More >

    A Spring-Damping Regularization and a Novel Lie-Group Integration Method for Nonlinear Inverse Cauchy Problems

    Chein-Shan Liu1, Chung-Lun Kuo2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.77, No.1, pp. 57-80, 2011, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2011.077.057
    Abstract In this paper, the solutions of inverse Cauchy problems for quasi-linear elliptic equations are resorted to an unusual mixed group-preserving scheme (MGPS). The bottom of a finite rectangle is imposed by overspecified boundary data, and we seek unknown data on the top side. The spring-damping regularization method (SDRM) is introduced by converting the governing equation into a new one, which includes a spring term and a damping term. The SDRM can further stabilize the inverse Cauchy problems, such that we can apply a direct numerical integration method to solve them by using the MGPS. Several numerical examples are examined to… More >
