    Notes: An infinite boundary element (IBE) is presented for the analysis of three-dimensional potential problems in an unbounded medium. The IBE formulations are done to allow their coupling with the finite element (FE) matrices for finite domains and to obtain the overall matrices without destroying the banded structure of the FE matrices. The infinite body is divided into a number of zones whose contributions are expressed in terms of the nodal quantities at FE nodes by employing suitable decay functions and performing mainly analytical integrations of the boundary element kernels. The continuity and compatibility conditions for the potential and the flux at the FE-IBE interface are developed. The relationships for the contributions of the IBE flux vectors to the FE load vectors are given. The final equations for the IBE are obtained in the usual FE stiffness-load vector form and are easily assembled with the FE matrices for the finite object. A series of numerical examples in heat transfer and electromagnetics were solved and compared with alternative solutions to demonstrate the validity of the present formulations.

    Notes: A boundary integral formulation is presented for the detection of flaws in planar structural members from the displacement measurements given at some boundary locations and the applied loading. Such inverse problems usually start with an initial guess for the flaw location and size and proceed towards the final configuration in a sequence of iterative steps. A finite element formulation will require a remeshing of the object corresponding to the revised flaw configuration in each iteration making the procedure computationally expensive and cumbersome. No such remeshing is required for the boundary element approach. The inverse problem is written as an optimization problem with the objective function being the sum of the squares of the differences between the measured displacements and the computed displacements for the assumed flaw configuration. The geometric condition that the flaw lies within the domain of the object is imposed using the internal penalty function approach in which the objective function is augmented by the constraint using a penalty parameter. A first-order regularization procedure is also implemented to modify the objective function in order to minimize the numerical fluctuations that may be caused in the numerical procedure due to errors in the experimental measurements for displacements. The flaw configuration is defined in terms of geometric parameters and the sensitivities with respect to these parameters are obtained in the boundary element framework using the implicit differentiation approach. A series of numerical examples involving the detection of circular and elliptical flaws of various sizes and orientations are solved using the present approach. Good predictions of the flaw shape and location are obtained.

    Notes: Numerous engineering problems, especially those in electromagnetics, often require the treatment of the unbounded continua. Mapped infinite elements have been developed for the solution of 3-D magnetic vector potential equations in infinite domain that may be used in conjunction with the standard finite elements. The electromagnetic field equations are written in terms of the magnetic vector potential for the infinite domain, and 3-D mapped infinite eiement formulation based on these equations is presented in detail. A series of magnetostatics and eddy current problems are solved to demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the procedure. These numerical results indicate that the combined finite-infinite element procedure is computationally much more economical for the solution of unbounded electromagnetic problems, especially when using the vector potential formulation, as the number of system equations decreases substantially compared to the finite element only procedure. The present procedure shows promise for the treatment of large practical industrial 3-D eddy current problems with manageable computer resources.

    Notes: The analysis of loads applied within the domain of a body cannot presently be done with the boundary-element method using a boundary-only discretization. Such load cases include patch loads applied over a part of the domain of the object, point loads and line loads. A treatment for such load cases is presented in this paper. The object being considered is embedded in a finite domain and the applied loading is first expressed in terms of a Fourier series expansion. The particular integral solution for the governing differential equation is next obtained at the boundary nodal points for the series expansion loading. These particular integrals at the boundary nodes completely represent the effect of the applied loading and contribute an addition to the ‘force vector’ in the standard boundary-element equations.

    Description: The bounds on the equivalent elastic material properties of a composite are presently addressed by a unified energy approach which is valid for both unidirectional and 2D and 3D woven composites. The unit cell considered is assumed to consist, first, of the actual composite arrangement of the fibers and matrix material, and then, of an equivalent pseudohomogeneous material. Equating the strain energies due to the two arrangements yields an estimate of the upper bound for the material equivalent properties; successive increases in the order of displacement field that is assumed in the composite arrangement will successively produce improved upper bound estimates.

    Description: A force method formulation, the completed Beltrami-Michell formulation (CBMF), has been developed for analyzing boundary value problems in elastic continua. The CBMF is obtained by augmenting the classical Beltrami-Michell formulation with novel boundary compatibility conditions. It can analyze general elastic continua with stress, displacement, or mixed boundary conditions. The CBMF alleviates the limitations of the classical formulation, which can solve stress boundary value problems only. In this report, the CBMF is specialized for plates and shells. All equations of the CBMF, including the boundary compatibility conditions, are derived from the variational formulation of the integrated force method (IFM). These equations are defined only in terms of stresses. Their solution for kinematically stable elastic continua provides stress fields without any reference to displacements. In addition, a stress function formulation for plates and shells is developed by augmenting the classical Airy's formulation with boundary compatibility conditions expressed in terms of the stress function. The versatility of the CBMF and the augmented stress function formulation is demonstrated through analytical solutions of several mixed boundary value problems. The example problems include a composite circular plate and a composite circular cylindrical shell under the simultaneous actions of mechanical and thermal loads.
