    Modeling the Wetting Effects in Droplet Impingement using Particle Method

    Heng Xie1, Seiichi Koshizuka2, Yoshiaki Oka2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.18, No.1, pp. 1-16, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2007.018.001

    Abstract A model of a single liquid drop colliding on solid surface is developed based with Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MPS) method. The mathematical model involves gravity, viscosity and surface tension. The wettability between the impact liquid and the solid surface is modeled by the contact angle model and the non-slip boundary condition. The particles of the drop are divided into four types in which the model varies to simulate the liquid particles in different area. The model is validated by the comparison of the theoretical results. The complete dynamic process including the spreading, the recoiling, re-bouncing More >

    The Moving Finite Element Method Based on Delaunay Automatic triangulation For Fracture Path Prediction Simulations In Nonlinear Elastic-Plastic Materials

    T. Nishioka1, Y. Kobayashi1, T. Fujimoto1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.17, No.3, pp. 231-238, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2007.017.231

    Abstract First, for growing cracks in elastic-plastic materials, an incremental variational principle is developed to satisfy the boundary conditions near newly created crack surfaces. Then using this variational principle, a moving finite element method is formulated and developed, based on the Delaunay automatic triangulation. Furthermore, theoretical backgrounds on numerical prediction for fracture path of curving crack using T* integral are explained. Using the automatic moving finite element method, fracture-path prediction simulations are successfully carried out. More >

    Hypersingular BEM for Piezoelectric Solids: Formulation and Applications for Fracture Mechanics

    J.A. Sanz, M. Solis, J. Dominguez1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.17, No.3, pp. 215-230, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2007.017.215

    Abstract A general mixed boundary element formulation for three-dimensional piezoelectric fracture mechanics problems is presented in this paper. The numerical procedure is based on the extended displacement and traction integral equations for external and crack boundaries, respectively. Integrals with strongly singular and hypersingular kernels appearing in the formulation are analytically transformed into weakly singular and regular integrals. Quadratic boundary elements and quarter-point boundary elements are implemented in a direct way in a computer code. Electric and stress intensity factors are directly computed from nodal values at quarter-point elements. Crack problems in 3D piezoelectric bounded and unbounded More >

    Contact Problem for the Flat Elliptical Crack under Normally Incident Shear Wave

    A.N. Guz1, O.V. Menshykov1,2, V.V. Zozulya3, I.A. Guz2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.17, No.3, pp. 205-214, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2007.017.205

    Abstract The contact interaction of opposite faces of an elliptical crack is studied for the case of a normal time-harmonic shear wave loading. The distribution of stress intensity factors (shear modes II and III) as functions of the wave number and the friction coefficient is investigated. The results are compared with those obtained for an elliptical crack without allowance for the contact interaction. More >

    Symmetric Variational Formulation of BIE for Domain Decomposition Problems in Elasticity -- An SGBEM Approach for Nonconforming Discretizations of Curved Interfaces

    R. Vodička1, V. Mantič2, F. París2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.17, No.3, pp. 173-204, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2007.017.173

    Abstract An original approach to solve domain decomposition problems by the symmetric Galerkin boundary element method is developed. The approach, based on a new variational principle for such problems, yields a fully symmetric system of equations. A natural property of the proposed approach is its capability to deal with nonconforming discretizations along straight and curved interfaces, allowing in this way an independent meshing of non-overlapping subdomains to be performed. Weak coupling conditions of equilibrium and compatibility at an interface are obtained from the critical point conditions of the energy functional. Equilibrium is imposed through local traction… More >

    Spectral Element Approach for Inverse Models of 3D Layered Pavement

    Chun-Ying. Wu1, R. Al-Khoury2, C. Kasbergen2, Xue-Yan. Liu2, A. Scarpas2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.17, No.3, pp. 163-172, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2007.017.163

    Abstract 3D spectral element method in the article is presented to predict the pavement layer modules using field measurement of Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD). To improve the computational efficiency of the layer-condition assessment, one type of spectral element is proposed to develop the dynamic analysis of 3D multi-layered system subjected to an impulsive load. Each layer in structure is simulated as two-noded layer spectral element or one-noded spectral element in frequency domain. In order to identify the parameters of layered structures, a nonlinear optimization method called Powell hybrid algorithm is employed. The optimization procedure is performed More >

    A General Partial Discretization Methodology for Interlaminar Stress Computation in Composite Laminates

    Tarun Kant1, Sandeep S. Pendhari2, Yogesh M. Desai3

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.17, No.2, pp. 135-162, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2007.017.135

    Abstract A two-point boundary value problem (BVP) is formed in the present work governed by a set of first-order coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) in terms of displacements and the transverse stresses through the thickness of laminate (in domain -h/2 < z < h/2) by introducing partial discretization methodology only in the plan area of the three dimensional (3D) laminate. The primary dependent variables in the ODEs are those which occur naturally on a plane z=a constant. An effective numerical integration (NI) technique is utilized for tackling the two-point BVP in an efficient manner. Numerical studies on More >

    A New Quasi-Unsymmetric Sparse Linear Systems Solver for Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin Method (MLPG)

    Weiran Yuan1, Pu Chen1,2, Kaishin Liu1,3

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.17, No.2, pp. 115-134, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2007.017.115

    Abstract In this paper we propose a direct solution method for the quasi-unsymmetric sparse matrix (QUSM) arising in the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin method (MLPG). QUSM, which is conventionally treated as a general unsymmetric matrix, is unsymmetric in its numerical values, but nearly symmetric in its nonzero distribution of upper and lower triangular portions. MLPG employs trial and test functions in different functional spaces in the local domain weak form of governing equations. Consequently the stiffness matrix of the resultant linear system is a QUSM. The new solver for QUSM conducts a two-level unrolling technique for LDU factorization More >

    Fictitious Domain Approach for Spectral/hp Element Method

    L. Parussini 1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.17, No.2, pp. 95-114, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2007.017.095

    Abstract We propose a fictitious domain method combined with spectral/hp elements for the solution of second-order differential problems. This paper presents the formulation, validation and application of fictitiuos domain-spectral/hp element algorithm to one- and two-dimensional Poisson problems. Fictitious domain methods allow problems formulated on an intricate domain Ω to be solved on a simpler domain Π containing Ω. The Poisson equation, extended to the new domain Π, is expressed as an equivalent set of first-order equations by introducing the gradient as an additional indipendent variable, and spectral/hp element method is used to develop the discrete model.

    Chein-Shan Liu 1,2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.17, No.2, pp. 73-94, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2007.017.073

    Abstract The primary objectives of the present exposition focus on five different types of representations of the plastic equations obtained from an elastic-perfectly plastic model by employing different corotational stress rates. They are (a) an affine nonlinear system with a finite-dimensional Lie algebra, (b) a canonical linear system in the Minkowski space, (c) a non-canonical linear system in the Minkowski space, (d) the Lie-Poisson bracket formulation, and (e) a two-generator and two-bracket formulation. For the affine nonlinear system we prove that the Lie algebra of the vector fields is so(5,1), which has dimensions fifteen, and by the… More >
