    B. Chandrasekhar1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.9, No.3, pp. 243-254, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2005.009.243

    Abstract In this work, a novel numerical technique is presented to calculate the acoustic fields scattered by three dimensional rigid bodies of arbitrary shape using the method of moment's solution procedure. A new set of basis functions, namely, Node based basis functions are developed to represent the source distribution on the surface of rigid body and the same functions are used as testing functions as well. Both single layer formulation and double layer formulations are numerically solved using the same basis functions. The surface of the body is modeled by triangular patch modeling. Numerical technique presented in this paper, using these… More >

    Computational Modeling of Gas-Particle Two-Phase Jet by a 3-D Vortex Method

    T.Tsukiji1, Y.Yamamoto2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.9, No.3, pp. 235-242, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2005.009.235

    Abstract The grid free computational model of gas-particle two-phase jet flow using a 3-D vortex method is presented. The calculated results using the present method are compared with the previous experimental and the calculated results using DNS. The interaction between the particle and gas-phase is considered using Lagrangian method. It is found that the present computational model of gas-particle two-phase jet flow using the 3-D vortex method is very useful for the prediction of the physical properties of the two-phase jet flow and for saving the computational time.

    3D Transient Heat Transfer by Conduction and Convection across a 2D Medium using a Boundary Element Model

    N. Simões1,2, A. Tadeu2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.9, No.3, pp. 221-234, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2005.009.221

    Abstract The use of the Boundary Element Method (BEM) to formulate the 3D transient heat transfer through cylindrical structures with irregular cross-sections, bounded by a homogeneous elastic medium, is described in this paper. In this formulation, both the conduction and the convection phenomena are modeled. This system can be subjected to heat emitted by either point or line sources located somewhere in the media. The solution is first obtained in the frequency domain for a wide range of frequencies and axial wavenumbers. Time domain responses are later calculated by means of (fast) inverse Fourier transforms into space-time. The appropriate fundamental solution… More >

    On the Indentation of a Chemically-treated Polymeric Membrane

    A. P. S. Selvadurai1, Q. Yu2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.9, No.1, pp. 85-110, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2005.009.085

    Abstract A characteristic feature of a polymeric material such as PVC is its hyperelasticity or the ability to experience large strains prior to failure. The exposure of PVC to chemicals such as acetone and ethanol results in embrittlement or the loss of the hyperelasticity property. In this paper, we examine the mechanical behaviour of a PVC membrane that has been exposed to ethanol. Due to leaching of the plasticizer, the constitutive response of the PVC changes from a hyperelastic material to a hardened material that displays dominant yield behaviour and particularly one that is capable of experiencing post-yield large strains and… More >

    Molecular-dynamics Study on Crack Growth Behavior Relevant to Crystal Nucleation in Amorphous Metal

    R. Matsumoto1, M. Nakagaki1, A. Nakatani2, H. Kitagawa3

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.9, No.1, pp. 75-84, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2005.009.075

    Abstract In this paper, the internal structure-changes around the crack-tip and the pertinent crack growth behavior in an amorphous metal were studied by a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. In order to perform a large scale calculation, the domain decomposition method was used for parallel calculation. The Finnis-Sinclair potential for$\alpha$-iron was used to describe the interatomic potential. Computed results show that nano-scaled crystalline phase grows around the crack-tip. The distribution of deformation zones and deformation mechanism are significantly altered. While grains are relatively small, they are not deformed, and the most amorphous-crystal interfaces have a large strain for phase transition. The emission… More >

    Numerical Modeling of the Influence of Water Suction on the Formation of Strain Localization in Saturated Sand

    X. Liu, A. Scarpas1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.9, No.1, pp. 57-74, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2005.009.057

    Abstract Numerical investigations of strain localization have been performed on 3D dense fully saturated sand specimens subjected to triaxial loading and simultaneous inflow or outflow conditions. The role of the water suction field on the formation and evolution of strain localization is addressed computationally. It has been shown that, in a porous medium, the fluid (water) phase plays indeed an important role in strain localization. The formation and evolution of strain localization are influenced both by the material behaviour of the solid component and the interaction between components. In this contribution, after a presentation of the incremental formulation of the coupled… More >

    Elastic waves in a hybrid multilayered piezoelectric plate

    X. Han1, H. Ding∗2, G. R. Liu1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.9, No.1, pp. 49-56, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2005.009.049

    Abstract An analytical-numerical method is presented for analyzing dispersion and characteristic surface of waves in a hybrid multilayered piezoelectric plate. In this method, the multilayered piezoelectric plate is divided into a number of layered elements with three-nodal-lines in the wall thickness, the coupling between the elastic field and the electric field is considered in each element. The associated frequency dispersion equation is developed and the phase velocity and slowness, as well as the group velocity and slowness are established in terms of the Rayleigh quotient. Six characteristic wave surfaces are introduced to visualize the effects of anisotropy and piezoelectricity on wave… More >

    A Local Strictly Nondecreasing Material Law for Modeling Softening and Size-Effect: a Discrete Approach

    E. Ferretti1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.9, No.1, pp. 19-48, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2005.009.019

    Abstract In this study nonlocality is discussed with regard to the differential and discrete formulations. Here, nonlocality is found to be a concept attaining not to the description of the material, but to the governing equations. This has made it possible to discuss the opportunity of introducing nonlocality in the constitutive equations, in order to give respectability to strain-softening damage models. When using the differential formulation, a length scale must be introduced into the material description of a strain-softening modeling, particularly when the size-effect is involved. In the opinion of the Author, this need lies in the basics themselves of the… More >

    Coupled Analysis of Independently Modeled Finite Element Substructures by Moving Least Squares Displacement Welding Technique

    Jin Yeon Cho1, Jae Mo An2, You Me Song1, Seungsoo Lee1, Dong Whan Choi1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.9, No.1, pp. 1-18, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2005.009.001

    Abstract A displacement welding technique is proposed to carry out coupled analysis of the integrated whole model which consists of independently modeled finite element substructures. In the proposed method, the incompatible displacement fields in the interfaces of independently modeled substructures are directly welded together through a blended function that is newly defined in the transient region of mismatching interface. To construct the blended function, the moving least squares function, which does not require well-defined nodal connectivity, is utilized along with the original finite element shape function. The meshless character of the moving least squares function makes it possible to efficiently handle… More >

    Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin Method for Stress and Crack Analysis in 3-D Axisymmetric FGM Bodies

    J. Sladek1, V. Sladek1, J. Krivacek1, Ch. Zhang2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.8, No.3, pp. 259-270, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2005.008.259

    Abstract A meshless method based on the local Petrov-Galerkin approach is presented for stress analysis in three-dimensional (3-d) axisymmetric linear elastic solids with continuously varying material properties. The inertial effects are considered in dynamic problems. A unit step function is used as the test functions in the local weak-form. It is leading to local boundary integral equations (LBIEs). For transient elastodynamic problems the Laplace-transform technique is applied and the LBIEs are given in the Laplace-transformed domain. Axial symmetry of the geometry and the boundary conditions for a 3-d linear elastic solid reduces the original 3-d boundary value problem into a 2-d… More >
