The iterative decomposition coupling formulation of the precise integration finite element method (FEM) and the time domain boundary element method (TD-BEM) is presented for elstodynamic problems. In the formulation, the FEM node and the BEM node are not required to be coincident on the common interface between FEM and BEM sub-domains, therefore, the FEM and BEM are independently discretized. The force and displacement converting matrices are used to transfer data between FEM and BEM nodes on the common interface between the FEM and BEM sub-domains, to renew the nodal variables in the process of the iterations for the un-coincident FEM node and BEM node. The iterative coupling formulation for elastodynamics in current paper is of high modeling accuracy, due to the semi-analytical solution incorporated in the precise integration finite element method. The decomposition coupling formulation for elastodynamics is verified by examples of a cantilever bar under a Heaviside-type force and a harmonic load.

This study is a comparison of the results of the orthropic material analysis at cantilever beam model using boundary element(BEM) method and finite element method(FEM). The program with the orthotropic material analysis was developed and applied to the examples in order to evaluate the accuracy of the programs. The examples shows that the results of the BEM is a good agreement with the ABAQUS results.

As the application of the MEMS parts increases, the structural safety of MEMS appears importantly. A lot of MEMS parts are made by a multi-grain silicon wafer, which is an orthotropic material. Moreover directions of the materials on each grain are distributed randomly. The stress analysis for the multi-grain is important factor in order to apply the MEMS parts to industrial applications. The finite element method (FEM) is commonly used by a stress analysis method but the boundary element method (BEM) is known as the result of the BEM is more accurate than that of the FEM since the fundamental solution are used. In this study, we derived the boundary integration equation for the orthotropic material by applying fundamental solutions with complex variables. The multi-region analysis procedure for the BEM and the multi-grain generation procedure by a random process technique are developed in order to apply the analysis of the multi-grain orthotropic material. The discontinuous element is used in order to remove the comer problem in the BEM. The results of the present method are compared with those of the finite element method in order to verify the present procedure.

본 논문에서는 조밀한 계수행렬로 인해 경계요소 개수의 증가에 따른 계산 시간의 급격한 증가때문에 대규모 문제를 쉽게 다룰 수 없는 기존 BEM 문제를 획기적으로 개선하는 새로운 BEM 해법인 FM-BEM을 소개한다. 단순한 2차원 정상상태 열전도문제를 통해서 FM-BEM과 기존 BEM의 계산시간과 정확도에 대한 해석 결과를 제시하였으며, 이로부터 FM-BEM 해법이 기존 BEM과 유사한 정확도를 유지하면서도 계산 속도를 획기적으로 높인다는 결과를 확인하였다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서는 FM-BEM의 적용 이론 및 관련 실행 알고리즘들을 고찰하고 이를 통해서 FM-BEM의 효용성을 검증하였으며, 향후 다양한 공학적 문제로의 적용 범위를 확대하고자 한다.

Accurate electroencephalography (EEG) forward calculation is of importance for the accurate estimation of neuronal electrical sources. Conventional studies concerning the EEG forward problems have investigated various factors influencing the forward solution accuracy, e.g. tissue conductivity values in head compartments, anisotropic conductivity distribution of a head model, tessellation patterns of boundary element models, the number of elements used for boundary/finite element method (BEM/FEM), and so on. In the present paper, we investigated the influence of modeling errors in the boundary element volume conductor models upon the accuracy of the EEG forward solutions. From our simulation results, we could confirm that accurate construction of boundary element models is one of the key factors in obtaining accurate EEG forward solutions from BEM. Among three boundaries (scalp, outer skull, and inner skull boundary), the solution errors originated from the modeling error in the scalp boundary were most significant. We found that the nonuniform error distribution on the scalp surface is closely related to the electrode configuration and the error distributions on the outer and inner skull boundaries have statistically meaningful similarity to the curvature distributions of the boundary surfaces. Our simulation results also demonstrated that the accumulation of small modeling errors could lead to considerable errors in the EEG source localization. It is expected that our finding can be a useful reference in generating boundary element head models.

The Boundary Element Method(BEM) has many advantages. Nevertheless the applicability of BEM to structural analysis is seemed to be behind the other methods. This study presents the application of the BEM for analysis of assembled plate structures which is light weight and has a great loading capacity. Firstly, we formulate the boundary integral equation of the single plate, using the biharmonic fundamental solution for plate bending and internal force problems. Nextly, each plates are assembled on 3-dimensional space. In this process, the boundary conditions on assemble line are used. To verify the objectivity and universal validity of analysis by BEM, the results of BEM was compared to that of SAP90 by using FEM.

The stress distributions of hydranlic actuator cylinder tube acting in uniform inner pressure were analysed by the boundary element method(BEM). STKM13C tube was utilized for machine structural purposes model, its inner radius was 100 mm and outer radius was 140 mm. Axial length was semi-infinite and the isoparametric element of BEM was used. Radial and tangential stresses are maximum(-20.3 MPa and 52 MPa) at the inner radius and the minimum at the outer radius of the hydraulic actuator cylinders for an industrial systems. Stress diminution ratio was about 0.6 MPa/mm. And then coincidence between the simulation techniques as exact results(Lame' equation) and finite element method(FEM) is found to be fairly good, showing that the proposed analysis by BEM is reliable.

Using Green's theorem, elliptic boundary value problems can be converted to boundary integral equations. A numerical methods for boundary integral equations are boundary elementary method(BEM). BEM has advantages over finite element method(FEM) whenever the fundamental solutions are known. Helmholtz type equations arise naturally in many physical applications. In a boundary integral formulation for the exterior Neumann there occurs a hypersingular operator which exhibits a strong singularity like $\frac{1}{|x-y|^3}$ and hence is not an integrable function. In this paper we are going to remove this hypersingularity by reducing the regularity of test functions.

For the application of BEM in the waveguide structure, a ray representation of the waveguide Green's function is used. This technique is applied to the analysis of the waveguide inductive junction. The results are compared with the results of the mode matching technique. The comparison shows good agreement.

Non-singular boundary element method (BEM) codes are developed in acoustics application. The BEM code is then used to calculate unknown boundary surface normal displacements and surface pressures from known exterior near field pressures. And then the calculated surface normal displacements and surface pressures are again applied to the BEM in forward in order to calculate reconstructed field pressures. (omitted)
