    Notes: The paper considers Dirichlet (or Neumann type) boundary value problems of generalized potential theory \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {\rm d}\alpha = f,\;\delta \varepsilon \left(\alpha \right) = g\,{\rm in}\,M, $$\end{document} \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \alpha = 0\,{\rm on}\,\partial M $$\end{document} on Lipschitz manifolds with boundary. Here ∊ denotes a permissible non-linearity. The existence theory is developed in the framework of monotone operators. The approach covers a variety of applications including fluid dynamics and electro- and magneto-statics. Only fairly weak regularity assumptions are required (e.g. Lipschitz boundary, L∞-coefficients). As a by-product we obtain a non-linear Hodge theorem generalizing a result by L. M. Sibner and R. J. Sibner (‘A non-linear Hodge-DeRham theorem’, Acta Math., 125, 57-73 (1970)).

    Notes: The non-linear contact problem for the parabolic system of second order in the sense of Pietrovski, which is the generalization of the problem considered in Part I (preceding paper), is formulated. The matrix of fundamental solutions for parabolic systems of second order with coefficients containing unknown functions and their first-order derivatives is constructed and used to reduce the problem to the equivalent system of integral equations which is then reduced to a system of Volterra type of the second kind. The existence of the solution of the system obtained is proved by using the Schauder fixed-point theorem.

    Notes: We consider the scattering of a plane time-harmonic electromagnetic wave by a perfectly conducting infinite cylinder with axis in the direction k, where k is the unit vector along the z axis. Suppose the incident wave propagates in a direction perpendicular to the cylinder. For a given observation angle θ, let FD(θ, α)k be the far-field pattern of the electric field corresponding to an incident wave with direction angle α polarized perpendicular to the axis and let FN(θ; α)k be the far-field pattern of the magnetic field corresponding to an incident wave with direction angle α polarized parallel to the z axis. Let {αn}n=1∞ be a distinct set of angles in [ - π, π] and μ a complex number. Then, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the set {(1 - μ)FD(θ;αn) + μFN(θ;αn)}n = 1∞ to be complete in L2[ - π, π]. Applications, together with numerical examples, are given to the inverse scattering problem of determining the shape of the cylinder from a knowledge of the far-field data.

    Notes: Classical solutions of the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system are considered, describing a collisionless plasma with two species of particles. ions and electrons. It is shown that as the ion mass m tends to infinity, the corresponding solution of the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system tends to the solution of a system, in which the ions are given by a fixed ion background and only the electrons move. The convergence is uniform on compact time intervals, with an asymptotic convergence rate of m-1.

    Notes: We present an asymptotic analysis of the quantum Liouville equation with respect to the Planck's constant, which models the temporal evolution of the (quasi)distribution of an ensemble of electrons under the action of a potential. We consider two cases: firstly a smooth potential, and secondly a potential modelled by a δ-distribution. In both cases the zeroth-order term behaves classically. In the smooth case the classical Liouville equation is satisfied and in the case for the δ-potential an interface condition is derived, so that everything is reflected at the potential barrier.

    Notes: Consider a bounded domain Ω surrounded by a perfect conductor and containing a conducting cavity D. The behaviour of the solutions of the time harmonic Maxwell problem as frequency tends to 0 is analysed in this situation. Necessary and sufficient conditions on the excitations are given which guarantee the existence of a limit. This limit turns out to be the solution of some static problem.

    Notes: In a joint paper with K. Morgenröther [9] we have studied the propagation of scalar waves in domains of the type Ω = Ωo-B̄ with Ωo:=∝2 × (0, 1), where B is a smooth bounded domain with B̄ ⊏ Ωo. In particular, we have shown that the solution of Neumann's initial and boundary value problem for the wave equation with time-independent right-hand side ƒ increases with a logarithmic rate as t → ∞ if the integral over ƒ does not vanish. The main purpose of the present paper is to extend this result to arbitrary smooth local perturbations of Ωo.

    Notes: The time evolution of a collisionless plasma is studied in the case when the Viasov density ƒ is a function of the time, one space variable and two velocity variables. The electromagnetic fields E, B also have a special structure, and the magnetic field B is non-trivial. It is shown that smooth, consistent initial values generate a uniquc smooth global solution.

    Notes: In this paper we shall consider a kind of optimal control of the Robin problem. First, we discuss the solvability of the Robin problem, which is not uniquely solvable in general. Then we find the representation of the far-field pattern in terms of the minimal solution to an integral equation. Based on this representation, an optimization problem is discussed and a Galerkin scheme for the solution is presented.

We prove that f has a higher moment than what is expected. Namely, for any bounded set Kx, we haveWe use this result to improve the regularity of the local density ρ(x,t) = ∫ƒdν for the Vlasov-Poisson equation, which corresponds to g = Eƒ, where E is the force field created by the repartition ƒ itself. We also apply this to the Bhatnagar-Gross-;Krook model with an external force, and we prove that the solution of the Fokker-Pianck equation with a source term in L2 belongs to L2([0, T]; H1/2(∝x,v2N)).

    Notes: Hyperthermia is an aid to standard cancer therapy. The aim is to heat up a tumour region inside the patient's body with the help of microwave radiation. The microwayes are generated by some suitable antenna array. Here we investigate the control properties of such antenna configurations and determine their resolution capabilities. We will define the hyperthermia operator, which can produce every field of any antenna array up to any degree of accuracy. We shall see that this operator is compact and we are able to compute a singular system under general assumptions explicitly. This, together with a detailed knowledge of the decay of the singular values, constitutes the tools with which we treat the previously stated problems. We examine the propagation of microwave radiation in homogeneous media and then carry over the results obtained to the case of inhomogeneous media.

    Notes: In this paper we investigate the direct problem associated with the scattering of ‘plane waves’ from an object submerged in an ocean of finite depth. An integral representation for the Dirichlet problem is found, from which a formula for the far-field pattern evolves.A density theorem is established concerning the set of all far-field patterns. This theorem is essential for the reconstruction of the submerged object, the ‘inverse’ problem [2], [4], [5].

    Notes: A body Ω floating in a fluid is subjected to small periodic displacement. Under idealized conditions the resulting wave pattern can be described by a linear boundary value problem for the Laplacian in an unbounded domain with a non-coercive boundary condition on part of the boundary. Nevertheless uniqueness can be shown if Ω is confined to certain subsets of the fluid which can be described explicitly. This extends a result of V. G. Maz'ja saying that uniqueness holds provided that the exterior normal for ∂Ω avoids certain directions.

    Notes: The boundary element method for the Dirichlet problem in a three-dimensional rotational domain leads to a system of linear equations with a full dense matrix having a special block structure. A direct solution method for such systems is presented, which requires O(N3/2 ln N) arithmetical operations only, using a Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT), where N denotes the number of unknowns on the boundary surface.

    Notes: A new class of computational far-field boundary conditions for hyperbolic partial differential equations was recently introduced by the authors. These boundary conditions combine properties of absorbing conditions for transient solutions and properties of far-field conditions for steady states. This paper analyses the properties of the wave equation coupled with these new boundary conditions: well-posedness, dissipativity and convergence in time.

    Notes: We consider operator-valued Riccati initial-value problems of the form R′(t) + TR(t) + R(t)T = TA(t) + TB(t)R(t) + R(t)TC(t) + R(t)TD(t)R(t), R(0) = R0. Here A to D and R0 have values as non-negative bounded linear operators in L1 (μ), where μ is a finite measure, and T is a closed non-negative operator in L1 (μ) satisfying additional technical conditions. For such problems the notion of strongly mild solutions is defined, and local existence and uniqueness theorems for such solutions are established. The results of the analysis are applied to the reflection kernels with both isotropically scattering homogeneous and anisotropically scattering inhomogeneous medium.

    Notes: The scattering of a ‘plane wave’ off a submerged body situated in an ocean of finite depth is investigated. The index of refraction is considered to be depth-independent. It is shown that the far field is not unique; hence, the problem of determining the shape of an object from its far field is not well-posed. If solutions are sought among a restricted class of problems the ‘dense set’ property implies that the problem can be made well-posed.

    Notes: A linear stability condition is dervied for explicit Runge-Kutta methods to solve the compressible Navier-Stokes equations by central second-order finite-difference and finite-volume methods. The equations in non-conservative form are simplified to quasilinear form, and the eigenvalues of the resulting coefficient matrices are determined for general co-ordinates. Assuming a well-posed Cauchy problem with constant coefficients, the von Neumann stability analysis yields sufficient stability conditions for viscous-inviscid operator-splitting schemes. They have been applied in computational aerodynamics to solve the compressible Navier-Stokes equations by an unsplit explicit Runge-Kutta finite-volume method.

We prove existence, uniqueness and representation results for steady states of the VFP equation both in the case of a mollified interaction potential and for the VFP-Poisson system. The uniqueness and representation results are of special interest since they distinguish special solutions of the Vlasov equation.

    Notes: We discuss the solution of the boundary value problem in a duct with a centered septum [9]. On the lower wall of the duct a Neumann condition is applied while on the upper wall a Dirichlet condition is applied. On the septum we apply a Dirichlet condition on the lower side and a Neumann condition on the upper one. This problem is formulated as a pair of integral equations of the Wiener-Hopf type for which we supply solutions for two modes of excitation as well as real and complex wave number. A critical examination is made of the construction, which reduces the problem to one in complex analysis. For real wave number, the physical parameters are provided in very simple forms.

    Notes: We study a mathematical model of neutron multiplication in a slab S, by taking into account temperature feedback effects and considering one group of delayed neutrons. The thickness 2a of S is time dependent because of temperature variations due to the energy released by fissions.Starting from a quite detailed picture of the physical phenomena occurring in S, we derive a system of three coupled ordinary differential equations for the total number of neutrons F̂ = F̂(t), for the total number of precursors Ĉ = Ĉ(t), and for the half-thickness of S, a = a(t).We finally examine some stability properties of such a system of ordinary differential equations.

    Notes: The exponential X-ray transform arises in single photon emission computed tomography and is defined on functions on the plane by Pμf(ϕ,x) = ∫- ∞∞f (x + tϕ)eμt where μ is a constant. In [MMAS(10), 561-574, 1988], we derived analytical formulae for filters K corresponding to a general point spread function E that can be used to invert the exponential X-ray transform via a filtered backprojection algorithm. Here, we use those formulae to derive expressions suitable for numerical computation of the filters corresponding to a specific family of bandlimited point spread functions and give the results of reconstructions of a mathematical phantom using these filters. Also included is an analogue of the Shepp-Logan ellipse theorem, [IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci. (21), 21-43, 1974], for the exponential X-ray transform.

    Notes: A hypersingular boundary integral equation of the first kind on an open surface piece Γ is solved approximately using the Galerkin method. As boundary elements on rectangles we use continuous, piecewise bilinear functions which vanish on the boundary of Γ. We show how to compensate for the effect of the edge and corner singularities of the true solution of the integral equation by using an appropriately graded mesh and obtain the same convergence rate as for the case of a smooth solution. We also derive asymptotic error estimates in lower-order Sobolev norms via the Aubin-Nitsche trick. Numerical experiments for the Galerkin method with piecewise linear functions on triangles demonstrate the effect of graded meshes and show experimental rates of convergence which underline the theoretical results.

    Notes: We study the stability properties of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with boundary conditions that involve the derivative in the direction of propagation (or time). We show that this type of boundary condition might cause a strong growth of the amplitude of the solution. Such a model is not useful for numerical computations. One example is the parabolic wave equation in underwater acoustics for wave propagation in a downsloping duct with the normal derivative condition ∂u/∂n =0 at the bottom.

    Notes: The coronal loop problem is characterized by mixed boundary conditions and the loop length condition, which is global. Using singular perturbation methods one can identify and construct two boundary layers at the base of the loop.Extending this to a combined asymptotic-numerical treatment it is possible to construct two static solutions satisfying the same conditions; this unusual feature arises from the presence of the first boundary layer, which corresponds with a steep temperature gradient and an energy balance dominated by conduction and radiation losses.

    Notes: In this paper we consider initial-boundary value problems for systems with a small parameter ∊. The problems are mixed hyperbolic-parabolic when ∊ 〉 0 and hyperbolic when ∊ = 0. Often the solution can be expanded asymptotically in ∊ and to first approximation it consists of the solution of the corresponding hyperbolic problem and a boundary layer part. We prove sufficient conditions for the expansion to exist and give estimates of the remainder. We also examine how the boundary conditions should be choosen to avoid O(1) boundary layers.

We first consider minimal-energy spline segments, then general minimal-energy spline curves. We formulate problems for minimal-energy spline segments and curves, prove the existence of solutions, justify the Lagrange multiplier rules, and obtain some nice properties (e.g., the infinite smoothness). Finally, we report our computational experience on minimal-energy splines.

    Notes: Fully automatic three-dimensional mesh generation is a fundamental requirement for automating the numerical solution of partial differential equations. Two techniques in particular - the octree and Delaunay approaches - have been used towards this end. A method that combines both approaches to fully automatic mesh generation is presented here. The resulting algorithm provides the linear growth rate and divide-and-conquer approach of the octree method with the simplicity and optimal properties of the Delaunay triangulation.

    Notes: Adopting an updated Lagrange approach, the general framework for the fully non-linear analysis of curved shells is developed using a simple quadrilateral C0 model (HMSH5). The governing equations are derived based on a consistent linearization of an incremental mixed variational principle of the modified Hellinger/Reissner type with independent assumptions for displacement and strain fields. Emphasis is placed on devising effective solution procedures to deal with large rotations in space, finite stretches and generalized rate-type material models. In particular, a geometrically exact scheme for configuration update is developed by making use of the so-called exponential mapping algorithm, and the resulting element was shown to exhibit a quadratic rate of (asymptotic) convergence in solving practical shell problems with Newton-Raphson type iterative schemes. For the purpose of updating the spatial stress field of the element, an ‘objective’ generalized midpoint integration rule is utilized, which relies crucially on the concept of polar decomposition for the deformation gradient, and is in keeping with the underlying mixed method. Finally, the effectiveness and practical usefulness of the HMSH5 element are demonstrated through a number of test cases involving beams, plates and shells undergoing very large displacements and rotations.

    Notes: Some constitutive and computational aspects of finite deformation plasticity are discussed. Attention is restricted to multiplicative theories of plasticity, in which the deformation gradients are assumed to be decomposable into elastic and plastic terms. It is shown by way of consistent linearization of momentum balance that geometric terms arise which are associated with the motion of the intermediate configuration and which in general render the tangent operator non-symmetric even for associated plastic flow. Both explicit (i.e. no equilibrium iteration) and implicit finite element formulations are considered. An assumed strain formulation is used to accommodate the near-incompressibility associated with fully developed isochoric plastic flow. As an example of explicit integration, the rate tangent modulus method is reviewed in some detail. An implicit scheme is derived for which the consistent tangents, resulting in quadratic convergence of the equilibrium iterations, can be written out in closed form for arbitrary material models. All the geometrical terms associated with the motion of the intermediate configuration and the treatment of incompressibility are given explicitly. Examples of application to void growth and coalescence and to crack tip blunting are developed which illustrate the performance of the implicit method.

    Notes: This study, dealing with model reduction for thermal diffusion, describes the numerical techniques used: the Eitelberg, Marshall and aggregation methods. The non-linear model of a heat transmission tube, to which these methods are applied, is then described, pointing out the necessary initial algebraic treatment for reduction. Finally the outputs of the complete model and of several reduced ones are compared for some characteristic variations of the inputs. For this problem, the Eitelberg and Marshall methods, which can be used with a high coefficient of reduction, are well adapted.

    Notes: The Finite Element Iterative Method (FEIM) is extended to the analysis of asymptotic fields of materials with non-linear behaviour. It is used in the investigation of the asymptotic field of an interfacial crack of power law hardening materials. The material is assumed to deform according to the total deformation theory of plasticity. The results of the analysis provide evidence to support the hypothesis that the asymptotic field can be cast in the form of the HRR-singularity multiplied by a function of the product form. This function can be written as a series of oscillatory functions, similar to those encountered in an elastic field, each of which is valid over a substantial range of the process zone. The real part of these terms depends on the loading mode, process zone size as well as material properties; it is, however, very small compared to the HRR-singularity. The imaginary part which gives the phase shift is much smaller than the elastic value and is a weak function of the hardening power and the size of the process zone of interest; it eventually vanished at extremely small distances.

    Notes: Force fields computed directly from strains calculated in a displacement type finite element description of a structural element of varying sectional rigidities show extraneous oscillations. The origin of these oscillations is traced to the fact that the displacement type finite element procedure determines strains derived from the displacement field in a least squares correct sense and that force resultants computed using these strain fields and the actual sectional rigidities result in unwanted oscillations. It is necessary to introduce the concept of redistributed assumed force resultant fields that maintain a ‘consistent’ relationship to the strain fields and also are orthogonal to these strain functions. In this paper, the Hu-Washizu theorem is invoked to justify the introduction of an orthogonally correct reconstituted assumed force resultant field which will then be free of extraneous oscillations. The quadratic isoparametric tapered bar element serves to illustrate the underlying principles.It follows that the extremely general Hu-Washizu principle is the most practical procedure of implementing an assumed force resultant, assumed strain displacement type formulation to introduce consistency and thereby remove problems associated with field-inconsistency (such as cause locking in constrained media elasticity) and force resultant oscillations due to varying sectional properties.

    Notes: New 8-node solid elements with two parallel faces and one traction-free cylindrical surface are derived using the assumed stress hybrid model. Six new expressions of stress components are developed by using four stress functions and cylindrical co-ordinates, so that the normal stress σz on the plane perpendicular to the two parallel faces varies as a parabola, and the assumed stress field satisfies the equilibrium equations as well as the traction-free conditions over the cylindrical boundary. The assumed stress field also satisfies the compatibility conditions when the new element is degenerated into the 2-dimensional case. Examples have clearly demonstrated that these present special elements are far superior in predicting the stress concentration factors, the distributions of circumferential stresses and the normal stress σz.

    Notes: Explicit integration across the thickness for three-dimensional degenerated shell finite elements is analysed. For this purpose a modifed formulation is proposed. The Jacobian matrix of the physical-parameter spaces transformation is decomposed into a product of ‘in-middle-surface’ and ‘out-of-middle-surface’ terms. This enables an expansion to be carried out of the strain-displacement matrix into power series of the thickness variable. Explicit integration is then performed and the corresponding formulae of the stiffness and mass matrices are given. The possibility of ‘locking’ for thin structures is explained. The analysis is applied to homogeneous and multilayered structures. Numerical applications for linear problems are given in the last part of the paper.

    Notes: Non-linear responses of dam-reservoir systems are not well understood, because of the lack of an exact time-domain solution for the far field (extending to infinity) of the fluid. This paper presents a procedure for efficient time-domain analyses. It is based on a semi-analytical solution and is suitable for the determination of the interactive behaviour of dam-reservoir systems.In this formulation, the fluid domain is divided into a near (to the dam) field, which is finite, and a far field extending to infinity. Arbitrary shapes of the upstream face of the dam, and of the bottom of the reservoir floor in the near field, are presumed. Furthermore, the far field is assumed to have a constant depth. The irregular near field is modelled by using the finite element method. A time-domain semi-analytical solution is obtained for the far field. For a vertical dam subjected to earthquake and ramp loadings, numerical solutions obtained compared well with the piecewise exact form of the analytical solution.

    Notes: An improved formulation for solving 2D transient scalar wave propagation problems by the Boundary Element Method (BEM) is presented. The kernels presented are simpler and better behaved than those that have appeared in the published literature. An appropriate set of temporal shape functions for linear variation is used. For spatial variations isoparametric quadratic elements are used. All of these represent significant improvements over the present level of sophistication in the analysis of 2D transient scalar problems. The algorithm is implemented in a general purpose boundary element code known as GPBEST.

    Notes: A new method of modelling the radiation effect in a time-domain finite element analysis of semi-infinite solids is proposed. The domain to be analysed is divided into a finite, interior region and a semi-infinite, exterior region. The standard finite elements are used to model the interior region. An infinite element is used to model the semi-infinite region. The main feature of the proposed method is the selection of semi-infinite shape functions to develop the infinite element. A procedure is proposed whereby the necessary shape functions are derived directly from frequency-domain analytical mode shapes. The interior and exterior regions are coupled by enforcing displacement continuity at the interface. The validity of the method is demonstrated in this paper by analysing a two-dimensional, linear (damped), anti-plane, shear-wave (plane Love-wave) propagation problem. The results obtained by the proposed method are compared with those obtained by direct finite element analysis with a fixed boundary placed sufficiently far from the location of loading to avoid wave reflections.

    Notes: The Lanczos algorithm has proved to be a powerful solution method not only for finding the eigenvalues but for solving linear systems of equations. In this work a new implementation of the algorithm is presented for solving linear systems of equations with a sequence of right-hand sides. The versions of the method proposed in the past treat the right-hand side vectors successively by keeping the tridiagonal matrix and the orthonormal basis in fast or secondary storage. The new technique handles all approximations to the solution vectors simultaneously without the necessity for keeping the tridiagonal matrix or the orthonormal basis in fast or secondary storage. Thus, when the first solution vector has converged to a required accuracy good approximations to the remaining solution vectors have simultaneously been obtained. It then takes fewer iterations to reach the final accuracy by working separately on each of the remaining vectors.

    Notes: This paper presents the development of a finite element analysis based on an anisotropic model of continuum damage mechanics theory proposed recently by the authors for ductile fracture under non-proportional loading. The condition of non-proportional loading is formulated by introducing a dynamic co-ordinate system of principal damage allowing the principal direction of damage during the loading to rotate accordingly.The finite element analysis developed under non-proportional loading is applied to predict the crack initiation load of a centre-cracked plate under uniform loading. The predicted load agrees satisfactorily with those determined experimentally with centre-cracked thin plates made of aluminium alloy 2024-T3. The analysis also reveals under non-proportional loading the hysteresis effect of the principal directions of damage and stress. In addition, the influence of varying anisotropic damage coefficients on the crack initiation load and the crack tip displacement profile is also examined. The larger the degree of the anisotropy, the higher the crack initiation load. The magnitude of the crack tip displacement profile is found to be proportional to the degree of material anisotropy.

    Notes: This paper presents an alternative to the subspace iteration and Lanczos techniques, both of which are now used to solve partial eigenvalues and eigenvectors of large generalized linear first order symmetric matrix systems. It is based on non-linear optimization of a modified Rayleigh quotient. The elements of the eigenvector are the decision variables. Orthogonality constraints with respect to the two matrices are incorporated in the sequential unconstrained optimization scheme. By imposing normality with respect to one of the matrices, the Hessian matrix reduces to a much simpler form for which the Woodburry transformation may be used. This, in combination with the fact that the banded structure of the matrices is maintained, results in a number of operations of the same order as the two standard methods. Shifting is readily integrated. Numerical comparison with existing techniques demonstrate the practicality of this method.

    Notes: The superposition of a rigid body mode on a body should result in a corresponding change in displacement values but should not affect the stresses. However, in the numerical solution by the boundary element method (BEM) large errors may be obtained for displacements and stresses if a rigid body mode is present in the input data. To eliminate the effects of the rigid body mode on the numerical accuracy of the solution, the fundamental solutions for displacements must be correctly interpreted and used. The rigid body mode may be unknowingly present in the boundary condition data. It may be present because the boundary data are not known accurately. Or it may be present if the displacement values at the support have been computed from a separate analysis. A rigid body mode may arise due to the collocation nature of satisfying the boundary conditions. The point values of the applied load at the collocation point may not satisfy equilibrium. Or the point values of the specified displacements may not satisfy the condition of zero translation and rotation. For bodies under pure traction, we know that the analytical solution can contain an arbitrary amount of rigid body mode. Numerically, however, some unknown value is assigned to this rigid body mode. It might be desirable (for example in limit analysis) to eliminate the rigid body mode from the displacements to obtain deformation of a point with respect to a point on the body. In addition, knowledge and elimination of the rigid body mode is necessary for the implementation of a scheme described by this author in an earlier work. The importance of the earlier work is that it reduced the sensitivity of the BEM to changes and errors in the input data. In this paper the causes, and the effects of the rigid body mode on the BEM, the correct interpretation of the fundamental solution for displacements and an algorithm for determining and accounting for the rigid body mode are discussed. A numerical example validates the ideas in this paper for the indirect version. The algorithm for the direct version is presented without a numerical example in the Appendices.

    Notes: A panel method using source and doublet singularity has been proposed to solve for subcritical aerodynamics of a two dimensional steady and unsteady aerofoil. The source singularities are placed on the aerofoil surface. The doublet singularity is distributed by a function along the chordline of the aerofoil; this distribution is further projected downstream into infinity.The aerodynamics of an oscillating aerofoil is investigated. The governing unsteady linearized potential equation has a Hankel function as its fundamental solution, which is a source type function. A combination of source and doublet singularity is therefore used for solving the unsteady compressible problem by means of the panel method, this methodology being an extension of a steady aerofoil formulation. Incremental effects of profile change in aerofoil and wake geometry are accounted for. A surface boundary condition is applied on the stationary mean aerofoil surface with time dependent geometrical changes accounted for. An unsteady Kutta condition of equal pressure across the trailing edge is assumed. Results are presented on the aerodynamic influence of Mach number, oscillating frequency parameter, angle of incidence and change of pivoting point. Results are also compared with linear theory, a subsonic experimental result and a subcritical solution of a transonic model.

    Notes: This report presents a finite element solution for the vibration interaction between an inviscid fluid and a solid. The equation of motion governing the inviscid fluid is expressed in terms of the displacements. This ensures that compatibility and equilibrium will be satisfied automatically along the interface of the coupled systems. To suppress circulation modes with non-zero energy, reduced integration is used when computing the element stiffness matrix contributed by the fluid. In addition, a projection is used on the element mass matrix in order to remove the spurious modes which result from the use of reduced integration. Numerical examples for both fluid and coupled fluid-solid systems are performed and the results are shown.

    Notes: The dynamic interaction between a compliant material and an impulsive pressure field, periodic in space and instantaneous in time, was examined as a first step at modelling the interaction between organized structures in a turbulent boundary layer and a compliant surface. The interaction, modelled two-dimensionally, was treated dynamically by matching the pressure forces to the surface stresses in the compliant material at each instant of time. A new boundary element method was formulated to model the compliant material which was treated as a linear isotropic material, elastic in dilatation and viscoelastic (Standard) in shear. The inertial forces and viscoelastic creep stresses have been included in this formulation as transient body forces. The elastic interaction was characterized by a non-dimensional threshold velocity, above which the elastic instabilities grew temporally and spatially in the downstream direction to produce a non-linear breakdown of the interaction. Freestream velocities as high as 9CT (shear wave speed) were found to produce stable elastic interactions. Thinner materials produced smaller amplitude waves of higher frequencies that grew more rapidly than those in thicker materials. The stability characteristics were independent of the location of the compliant material with respect to the spatial distribution of the pressure pulse. For viscoelastic interactions, the stability curve, which serves as a bound on the types of materials capable of producing drag reduction, shows distinct regions of elastic types of interactions (Class B) and damping dominated interactions (Class A) as a function of the constants of the rheological model describing the compliant material. Class A disturbances in these interactions show slower growth or decay than Class B disturbances.

    Notes: The coupled thermoviscoelastic response of a solid-fluid system is computed by a finite element formulation which involves only temperature and displacement fields. The Laplace transform with respect to time is applied to the coupled equations. This results in a global matrix in the transform domain that is symmetric and banded and the time response is obtained by numerical inversion of the transformed solution. Also, this formulation permits the use of fractional derivatives to model viscoelastic material behaviour.

    Notes: This paper presents the development of an efficient and numerically stable algorithm for accurately computing the eigensolutions of the quadratic real symmetric eigenproblem arising in the finite dynamic element (FDE) formulation. Closely related to the subspace forward iteration method, the proposed scheme is well suited to extracting the lowest natural frequencies and associated mode shapes of large practical eigenproblems, takes full advantage of the banded configuration of the stiffness, inertia and dynamic correction matrices involved in the eigenproblem and ensures a monotonic convergence from above to the required eigenpairs. A shifting technique for convergence acceleration and an eigenpair verification scheme are also presented. Numerical examples are shown demonstrating the excellent performance of the solution procedure.

    Notes: An integral solution method based on the concept of the direct boundary element technique has been applied to develop a solution procedure for problems of diffusion with a non-linear reaction in one dimension. The non-linearity is handled by a process of quasi-linearization over subintervals or elements in the main domain of integration. The weighting functions are defined for each subinterval such that the discretization is exact for the corresponding linear problem. This leads to a new powerful and simple method for the solution of this class of problems. A banded global matrix is obtained with both the concentration and its gradient as the unknown variables, and the problem is solved in an iterative manner. Illustrative results are presented for a test problem of diffusion with a second order reaction in an infinite slab, an infinite cylinder and spherical geometries. The accuracy of the method for situations with a sharp concentration gradient is demonstrated. The technique can also be used to numerically compute the solution in the boundary layer for fast reactions.

    Notes: An approach, which is based on the double porosity concept and takes into account pore deformation, has been presented to derive a set of coupled differential equations governing the behaviour of fissured porous media. This approach has resulted in a set of non-linear (variable coefficient) differential equations. Various coefficients involved in the formulation have been explicitly defined in terms of measurable physical parameters. The finite element technique has been employed as the numerical tool for the solution of these equations. The results based on the proposed non-linear formulation have been compared with those of previously presented linear (constant coefficient) formulations. It is found that, in relatively rigid formations, the linearity assumption is quite reasonable and can successfully model the behaviour of fissured porous media. However, in very deformable formations, the linearity assumption could lead to a significant level of error in the numerical solutions.

    Notes: The treatment of ageing processes in polymers by the finite element (FE) method is described. The development of this analytical method is motivated by the need to assess the effects of ageing on the structural performance of polymers and polymeric composites, particularly when the structures are large and expensive to replace. Also, there is a need to assess the effectiveness of corrective action options when ageing problems do occur, which can be treated by this method. The method describes the treatment of multiple, reactive chemical species in multi-layered polymeric materials by the finite element method. Example problems featuring the simultaneous diffusion and chemical reaction are illustrated: a simple problem of binary diffusion and reaction with comparison of numerical to exact results, and the staged ageing/structural analysis of a solid rocket motor.

    Notes: An effective and efficient error estimation scheme for finite element plate and shell analysis is presented. The error estimate method proposed is applicable to all the plate and shell elements developed using either classical plate and shell or continuum mechanics theories. The global error in energy norm is computed by summing all the elemental errors. The method is well suited for adaptive mesh refinement as the error contribution for each element is known. Demonstration examples using uniform and adaptive refinement schemes for both the plate and shell analysis show the effectiveness of the method proposed.

    Notes: A triangular mesh generator is presented which makes extensive use of side swapping and mesh smoothing to create a grid with few obtuse triangles. To perform the above task a data structure is presented which holds full adjacency information both for nodes and elements. It is shown how this data structure is employed in the process mesh generation, and how the methods of computational geometry such as region decomposition are used not only to decompose a complex region, but also to reflect the boundary grading into the interior the region. Algorithms are provided to show the mechanism of these processes and practical examples are given to support the approach.

    Notes: The method of characteristics is combined with the method of least-squares to solve the advection equation within the finite element framework. Fourier mode analysis shows that the numerical scheme is stable and accurate even when a linear basis function is used. However, in practical application, the involvement of using numerical quadrature in this method can produce numerical instability, depending on the value of the Courant number used. It is found that using C1 continuous Hermitian cubic basis functions in the scheme reduces the degree of instability significantly and produces high accuracy. When being used in a split-operator approach, this method combines naturally with the standard finite element method and results in a highly accurate scheme for advection-dispersion simulation.

    Notes: Conventional approaches for computational structural dynamics (CSD) relevant to time-integration methods involve first employing the classical Galerkin formulations for the spatial discretization to yield a set of ordinary differential equations in time and then employing finite difference approximations for deriving the appropriate step-by-step algorithms. And, almost all of the widely advocated (existing) step-by-step schemes for structural dynamics require an initial acceleration vector to be specified (evaluated) in addition to displacement and velocity vectors for starting the schemes. Unlike the above, in this paper we introduce new representations and architecture towards providing not only direct self-starting features with the elimination of acceleration computations but also for enhancing the computational architecture itself via several other inherent distinguishing characteristics. Thereby, a robust and effective methodology of computation is presented which is an extension of our previous efforts (see Tamma and Namburu3). In particular, to illustrate the basic concepts, in this paper we focus attention on the development of explicit time-integration formulations. The methodology involves expressing the governing dynamic equations of motion in conservation form, and firstly temporal discretization is accomplished in the spirit of Lax-Wendroff-type formulations. Therein, discretization in space is accomplished by introducing stress-based representations and employing the classical Galerkin scheme, and, quite naturally, we advocate employing finite elements as the principal computational tool because of its several inherent advantages. The stability and accuracy of the proposed formulations and the several added distinguishing features are briefly highlighted. Considerations on the effects of damping are additionally included and the introduction of general boundary conditions in a natural setting permits an effective generalized architecture for general applications. Numerical test models are presented to validate the overall developments for computational structural dynamics.

    Notes: This paper discusses the generation of unstructured triangular meshes by the advancing front technique. We also employ the technique to discretize surfaces. A simple and effective algorithm for the specification of element sizes is described. A similar idea is then applied to adaptive remeshing where a completely new mesh is created on the basis of the isolines of a certain important variable. The isolines are obtained from the FE-calculation based on the previous mesh. In this paper, attention is focused on the Poisson's equation. The optimal a priori error estimate for the problem is used to estimate the number of isolines needed for the remeshing. When the estimated error exceeds the tolerance in only a small part of the domain, the adaptive procedure is switched automatically to an adaptive refinement.

    Notes: This paper describes the development of an automatic, two-dimensional, quadrilateral element mesh generator. The methodology is based on the looping algorithm developed in part by Dr M. L. C. Sluiter. Bezier curves are used to define the boundaries of the parts to be meshed. The required interaction by the user is reduced to specifying the boundary geometry, the preferred element size and the refinement coefficient. Transition elements are automatically generated between regions of varying element sizes. The ability to offset specified boundary curves insures well-conditioned elements along the boundary. Meshes for several sample geometries are presented to illustrate the versatility of the mesh generator.

    Notes: A three-field mixed formulation in terms of displacements, stresses and an enhanced strain field is presented which encompasses, as a particular case, the classical method of incompatible modes. Within this frame-work, incompatible elements arise as particular ‘compatible’ mixed approximations of the enhanced strain field. The conditions that the stress interpolation contain piece-wise constant functions and be L2-ortho-gonal to the enhanced strain interpolation, ensure satisfaction of the patch test and allow the elimination of the stress field from the formulation. The preceding conditions are formulated in a form particularly convenient for element design. As an illustration of the methodology three new elements are developed and shown to exhibit good performance: a plane 3D elastic/plastic QUAD, an axisymmetric element and a thick plate bending QUAD. The formulation described herein is suitable for non-linear analysis.

    Notes: The calculation of temperature distributions for systems exchanging radiation heat requires as a first step the determination of the heat fluxes caused by radiation at its surfaces. The functional of the variational principle is the starting point of a numerical solution method.By using finite element procedures a system of linear equations is derived, which supplies an approximation of the radiosity. Having the radiosity, the heat flux at the surfaces, which governs the boundary condition for the temperature distribution in the structure, can be calculated. A method of determining the view-factors using the concept of the finite element method is also given.

    Notes: This paper describes an application of linear programming for the analysis of plane strain rigid-plastic flow. First, linear programming and the theory of a rigid-plastic material are briefly revised. The implementation of linear programming for rigid-plastic flow is then described. The method is to subdivide the material into rigid triangular blocks which may slide upon each other, dissipating energy at a rate proportional to the rate of sliding. Many different modes of deformation are possible; linear programming is used to select the mode that gives the least rate of total energy dissipation. The indentation of a strip by blunt-nosed indenters is used as an example. Results of the linear programming method are compared with the exact slip line field solutions.
