    Description: The Probabilistic Fracture Mechanics (PFM) is a promising method for estimating the fatigue life and inspection cycles for mechanical and structural components. The Probability Finite Element Method (PFEM), which is based on second moment analysis, has proved to be a promising, practical approach to handle problems with uncertainties. As the PFEM provides a powerful computational tool to determine first and second moment of random parameters, the second moment reliability method can be easily combined with PFEM to obtain measures of the reliability of the structural system. The method is also being applied to fatigue crack growth. Uncertainties in the material properties of advanced materials such as polycrystalline alloys, ceramics, and composites are commonly observed from experimental tests. This is mainly attributed to intrinsic microcracks, which are randomly distributed as a result of the applied load and the residual stress.

    Description: The fusion of the probabilistic finite element method (PFEM) and reliability analysis for probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) is presented. A comprehensive method for determining the probability of fatigue failure for curved crack growth was developed. The criterion for failure or performance function is stated as: the fatigue life of a component must exceed the service life of the component; otherwise failure will occur. An enriched element that has the near-crack-tip singular strain field embedded in the element is used to formulate the equilibrium equation and solve for the stress intensity factors at the crack-tip. Performance and accuracy of the method is demonstrated on a classical mode 1 fatigue problem.

    Description: An unconditionally stable implicit-explicit method is proposed for the analysis of transient coupled thermal stress waves, and the computer-implementation aspects of the method are discussed. In the method proposed here, the mechanical displacement and temperature are used as independent variables. The resulting coupled finite element matrix equations are symmetric.

    Description: A finite element approach for contact problems in two dimensional elastodynamics was proposed. Sticking, sliding, and frictional contact were taken into account. The method consisted of a modification of the shape functions, in the contact region, in order to involve the nodes of the contacting body. The formulation was symmetric (both bodies were contactors and targets), in order to avoid interpenetration. Compatibility over the interfaces was satisfied. The method was applied to the impact of a block on a rigid target. It is shown that the formulation can be applied to fluid structure interaction, and to problems involving material nonlinearity.

    Description: Sea surface height anomaly signals from satellite altimeter data are used to estimate heat storage. Since variability in sea surface height is mostly due to expansion and contraction of the water column it can be correlated with variations in the heat and salt content.
