    Abstract A fast multipole boundary element approach to the shape sensitivity analysis of three dimensional acoustic wave problems is developed in this study based on the adjoint variable method. The concept of material derivative is employed in the derivation. The Burton-Miller formula which is a linear combination of the conventional and normal derivative boundary integral equations is adopted to cope with the non-uniqueness problem when solving exterior acoustic wave problems. Constant elements are used to discretize the boundary surface so that the strongly- and hyper-singular boundary integrals contained in the formulations can be evaluated explicitly and the numerical process can be… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.79, No.1, pp. 31-62, 2011, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2011.079.031
    Abstract This paper reports finite element multi-scale simulations of ballistic impact damage of three-dimensional angle-interlock woven composite (3DAWC) penetrated under a hemispherical rigid projectile. A multi-scale geometrical model of the 3DAWC was established for the numerical simulation. The multi-scale geometrical model of the 3DAWC consists two parts: one is the microstructure model and another is the continuum model. The microstructure model has the same microstructure with that of the 3DAWC composite panel, including the fiber tows' diameter, fiber tow configuration and fiber volume fraction. The continuum model has the same mechanical properties with the 3DAWC. The commercial-available finite element software package… More >

    Predictions of Lid-Driven Flow in a Two-Dimensional Irregular Cavity: a Numerical Study

    Bruno Manoel Pasquim1, Viviana Cocco Mariani1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.79, No.1, pp. 63-82, 2011, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2011.079.063
    Abstract The main aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of a Eulerian-Lagrangian methodology (ELAFINT) to accurately deal with incompressible viscous steady flow in a domain with corners and curved boundaries. Thus, a two-dimensional lid-driven cavity with an irregular bottom was selected. The equations that govern the flow are discretized using the finite-volume method with a Cartesian grid. The evolution of the velocity fields, stream function and vorticity in the irregular cavity when the Reynolds number increases from 500 to 6000 is captured by the method under investigation. The results show that with an increase in the Reynolds number… More >
