In order to resolve a common numerical integration inaccuracy of meshfree methods, we introduce an improved natural clement method called Petrov-Galerkin natural element method(PG-NEM). While Laplace basis function is being taken for the trial shape function, the test shape function in the present method is differently defined such that its support becomes a union of Delaunay triangles. This approach eliminates the inconsistency of tile support of integrand function with the regular integration domain, and which preserves both simplicity and accuracy in the numerical integration. In this paper, the validity of the PG-NEM is verified through the representative benchmark problems in 2-d linear elasticity. For the comparison, we also analyze the problems using the conventional Bubnov-Galerkin natural element method(BG-NEM) and constant strain finite clement method(CS-FEM). From the patch test and assessment on convergence rate, we can confirm the superiority of the proposed meshfree method.

A co-rotational quasi-conforming formulation of four- node stress resultant shell elements using Ivanov-Ilyushin yield criteria are presented for the nonlinear analysis of plate and shell structure. The formulation of the geometrical stiffness is defined by the full definition of the Green strain tensor and it is efficient for analyzing stability problems of moderately thick plates and shells as it incorporates the bending moment and transverse shear resultant force. As a result of the explicit integration of the tangent stiffness matrix, this formulation is computationally very efficient in incremental nonlinear analysis. This formulation also integrates the elasto-plastic material behaviour using Ivanov Ilyushin yield condition with isotropic strain hardening and its asocia ted flow rules. The Ivanov Ilyushin plasticity, which avoids multi-layer integration, is computationally efficient in large-scale modeling of elasto-plastic shell structures. The numerical examples herein illustrate a satisfactory concordance with test ed and published references.

The long-term behavior, such as in excavation problems of weak medium, can be dealt with by the elasto-viscoplasticity models. In this paper, a combined formulation of elasto-viscoplasticity using boundary elements and finite elements without using internal cells is presented. The domain integral introduced due to the viscoplastic stresses is transformed into a boundary integral applying direct integration in cylindrical coordinates. The results of the developed boundary element analysis are compared with those from the explicit solution and from the finite element analysis. It is observed that the boundary element analysis without internal cells results in some error because of its deficiency in handling the nonlinearity in local stress concentration. Therefore, a coupled analysis of boundary elements and finite elements, in which finite elements are used in the area of stress concentration, is developed. The coupled method is applied to a time dependent inelastic problem with semi-infinite boundaries. It results in reasonable solution compared with other methods where relatively higher degree of freedoms are employed. Thus, it is concluded that the combined analysis may be used for such problems in the effective manner.

The integral equation method is a powerful tool for numerical electromagnetic modeling. But the difficulty of this technique is the size of the linear equations, which demands excessive memory and calculation time to invert. This limitation of the integral equation method becomes critical in inverse problem. The conventional Born approximation, where the electric field in the anomalous body is approximated by the background field, is very rapid and easy to compute. However, the technique is inaccurate when the conductivity contrast between the body and the background medium is large. Quasi-linear, quasi-analytical and extended Born approximations are novel approaches to 3-D EM modeling based on the linearization of the integral equations for scattered EM field. These approximation methods are much less time consuming than full integral equation method and more accurate than conventional Born approximation. They we, however, still approximate methods for 3-D EM modeling. Iterative series methods such as modified Born, quasi-linear and quasi-analytical can be used to increase the accuracy of various approximation methods. Comparisons of numerical performance against a full integral equation and various approximation codes show that the iterative series methods are very accurate and almost always converge. Furthermore, they are very fast and easy to implement on a computer. In this study, extended Born series method is developed and it shows more accurate result than that of other series methods. Therefore, Iterative series methods, including extended Born series, open principally new possibilities for fast and accurate 3-D EM modeling and inversion.

전기기기의 해석법에는 첫째로 전기적 등가회로를 구성하여 이를 푸는 회로해석법과, 둘째로 현상을 지배하는 편미분방정식 또는 적분방정식을 적당한 가정하에서 푸는 수치해석법의 두가지가 있다. 그러나 회로해석법의 경우에는 회로망의 구성과 회로정수의 결정이 경험이나 직관에 따르게 되는등 여러가지 이유로 인해 앞으로의 발전을 기대하기가 곤란하다. 한편, 수치해석법의 경우에는 수치계산과정에서 반드시 오차가 수반되므로, 하나의 해석법만으로는 완전한 해석이 곤란하게 된다. 따라서 이 경우에는 문제의 특성에 따라 최적의 결과를 얻을 수 있는 복합적인 해석법이 선택사용되며, 근년의 전자계산기의 발달에 힘입어 전기기기의 해석에 광범위하게 이용되고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 본고에서는 전기기기의 해석에 사용되는 여러가지 수치해석법을 간단히 소개하고, 그중 최선의 방법으로서 가장 널리 연구활용되고 있는 유한요소법에 의한 각종 전기기기의 해석법에 대해 기술하기로 한다.

Analytical expressions for breakdown voltages of abrupt pn junction in GaP, GaAs and InP of III-V binary semiconductors was induced. Getting analytical breakdown voltage, effective ionization coefficients were extracted using ionization coefficient parameters for each materials. The result of analytical breakdown voltages followed by ionization integral agrees well with numerical and experimental results within 10% in error.

The determination of the stress intensity factors is investigated by means of a surface integral defined around the crack tip of the structure. It has been shown in this work that this integral is derived from the standard path integral J. The use of the surface integral has also been extended to the case where body forces act. Computer program obtaining the stress intensity factors $K_I$ and $K_{II}$ is developed, which prepares input variables from the result of the conventional finite element analysis. This paper provides a parabolic smooth curve function. By the use of the function and conventional element meshes in which the aspect ratio (element length/crack length)is about 25 percent, relatively correct $K_I$ and $K_{II}$ values can be obtained for the exterior radius ranging from 1/3 to 1 of the crack length.

It is well known that the double integration of measured acceleration records is one of the most difficult signal processing, particularly in the measurements on civil engineering structures, The measured accelerations of civil engineering structures are usually non-stationary and contain non-gaussian low-frequency noises, which can be significant causes of numerical instabilities in double Integration, For the de-noising of this kind of signals, wavelet transform can be very effective because of its inherent processing features for non-stationary signals, In this paper, the de-noising algorithm for the double integration is proposed using the modified wavelet transform, which is extended version of ordinary wavelet transform to process non-gaussian and low-frequency noises, using the median filter concept, The example studies show that the integration can be improved by the proposed method.

Theoretical investigation is made on the electromagnetic fields generated by an impulsive point current source, fur the VV, HV, and VH problems at the interface between an isotropic upper half-space medium and a normally uniaxial lower half-space medium. The electric fields of these problems are associated only with the extraordinary-wave components in the Fourier-Laplace domain. Applying the Cagniard-de Hoop method to each problem, the time-domain solutions of the wave fields are obtained. The fields of the VV case can be expressed in explicit(integral-free) forms. The fields of the HV and VH cases are not integral-free, but the major singularities implicit in the integral solutions can be analytically extracted. The interfacial far fields in the frequency domain are determined by the singularities in the time domain.
