    Notes: We consider large eigenvalue problems for skeletal structures with symmetry. We present an algorithm, based upon a novel combination of group-theoretic ideas and substructuring techniques, that block-diagonalizes such systems exactly and efficiently. The procedure requires only the structural matrices of a repeating substructure, together with the symmetry modes, which are obtained from symmetry considerations alone. We first present a simple paradigmatic example and then follow with several non-trivial applications involving large lattice structures.

    Notes: A description is given of an adaptive finite element method for the simulation of two dimensional compressible flows with moving boundaries. The method is implemented on an unstructured triangular grid and the mesh adaptation is achieved by local grid regeneration, using an error estimation procedure coupled to an automatic triangular mesh generator. Two numerical examples are included to illustrate the numerical performance of the method.

    Notes: A methodology for the automatic mesh generation of quadrilateral elements is proposed. The methodology is based on the facts that (i) a region can always be subdivided entirely into quadrilaterals if the polygon which forms the boundary of the region has an even number of sides, (ii) a quadrilateral can be formed by two triangles which share a common side. By taking advantage of the techniques developed in an existing automatic triangular mesh generator, quadrilateral meshes can be generated according to the distribution of user specified element size over the domain of interest. In particular, an automatic quadrilateral mesh generator based on the advancing front technique for triangular mesh generation1 is described. Techniques to improve the quality of the generated quadrilateral meshes are introduced. The robustness and versatility of the mesh generator are demonstrated by a variety of examples.

    Notes: Structured meshes which consist of a single curvilinear network of lines and points have limited flexibility when applied to geometrically complicated domains. To alleviate this constraint the idea of multiblock structured meshes has been proposed. This approach subdivides the domain of interest into regions, each of which can be mapped into a transformed space equivalent to a rectangle. The connections between these regions define the mesh topology. By a suitable subdivision of the domain, multiblock grids, which are globally unstructured between blocks, but provide a structured grid within blocks, can be used to discretize highly complex geometrical domains. This technique has been used to great effect, both in two and three dimensions. However, structured meshes are not naturally amenable to adaptivity techniques based upon local point addition. This paper describes a method, based upon the quadtree data structure, which allows for local point refinement on multiblock meshes for use with flow algorithms for the simulation of compressible flow around aerospace geometries. The basic concepts of multiblock meshes, the use of the quadtree data structure, together with the treatment within the flow algorithm of locally embedded meshes, will be discussed.

    Notes: In this paper we present a general procedure for analysing the motion of a multi-rigid-body system that is capturing and/or ejecting mass. The motivations for this work are given in the introductory section, followed by a description of the mathematical model we have used to represent a variable-mass system. Using a control volume approach, the differential equations of motion are derived in vector-dyadic form. The non-linear scalar components of these equations have been encoded into a Fortran-77 program that uses a fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm to compute a numerical solution for the motion of a given physical system; we describe the development of this simulation program and its use of the conformal rotation vector to represent orientations. An application of the program to the dynamic analysis of a specific variable-mass problem is presented, and a comparison of the numerical results to an analytical solution is used to assess the accuracy of the software. In the concluding section, the advantages and limitations of the underlying formulation are discussed.

    Notes: A computationally oriented formulation and its solution procedures for the analysis of rigid-flexible multibody dynamics systems are presented. The present formulation adopts a set of dual co-ordinate systems, an inertially fixed one for the measure of translational motions and a body-based one for rotational motions. The origins of these co-ordinate systems are located at the centres of rigid bodies and at the nodal points of flexible bodies for implementation ease. The flexibility is modelled by an intrinsic spatial beam theory which is approximated by transverse-shear deformable linear beam elements. The solution of the resulting equations of motion including system constraints is obtained by a partitioned procedure, which solves first for the constraint force vector, then the generalized co-ordinates for the rigid and flexible components, and finally interaction quantities such as active control forces, manoeuvring space ranges and corrections due to state measurements, with each solution stage being processed by the corresponding separate module. A central feature of the present capability is its high accuracy of the analysis results by demanding the energy conservation throughout the various stages of response analyses. Several examples are included to demonstrate the capabilities of the present analysis software both on sequential and parallel machines.

    Notes: An adaptive finite element method for the solution of time dependent strongly compressible flows in two dimensions is described. The computational domain is represented by an unstructured assembly of linear triangular elements and the mesh adaptation is achieved by local regeneration of the grid, using an error estimation procedure coupled to an automatic triangular mesh generator. Problems involving shock propagation are solved to illustrate the numerical performance of the proposed approach.

    Notes: Numerical experiments in adapting variations of a computationally simple error estimator (the Zienkiewicz-Zhu estimator) to an existing finite element code are shown. The error estimator used allows both overall and local errors to be estimated. From the local estimates of error, refinements of the mesh are calculated to reach a prescribed error tolerance. These calculated refinements are used by a mesh refiner to produce a modified mesh which lowers the overall error to the prescribed value while keeping the mesh as crude as possible. The physical example on which these numerical experiments are performed is that of free surface flow through an earth dam with a toe drain. It is also shown how the problem formulation affects the error analysis and how the choice of computational scheme affects the mesh adaptation.

    Notes: Efficiency in solving differential equations is improved by increasing the order of a Taylor series approximation. Computing time can be reduced up to a factor of 40 and an amount of memory storage can be saved, up to a factor of 70.The truncation error can be estimated not only by order but also by magnitude.
