  • A quadratic B-spline finite element method for the spatial variable combined with a Newton method for the time variable is proposed to approximate a solution of Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Burgers (BBMB) equation. Two examples were considered to show the efficiency of the proposed scheme. The numerical solutions obtained for various viscosity were compared with the exact solutions. The numerical results show that the scheme is efficient and feasible.

  • A space-time finite element method was presented for time dependent problem. The method which treat both the space and time unformly were proposed and numerically tested. The weighted residual process was used to formulate a finite element method in a space-time domain based upon continuous Galerkin method. This method leads to a conditional stabie high-order accurate solver.

  • In this paper a finite element method for free-surface problems is described. the method is based on two different forms of Hamilton's principle. To test the present computational method two specific wave problems are investigated; the dispersion relations and the nonlinear effect for the well-known solitary waves are treated. The convergence test shows that the present scheme is more efficient than other existing methods, e.g. perturbation scheme.

  • In this paper, a hybrid scaled boundary finite element and finite volume method (SBFEM-FVM) is proposed for simulating hydraulic-fracture propagation in brittle concrete materials. As a semi-analytical method, the scaled boundary finite element method is introduced for modelling concrete crack propagation under both an external force and water pressure. The finite volume method is employed to model the water within the crack and consider the relationship between the water pressure and the crack opening distance. The cohesive crack model is used to analyse the non-linear fracture process zone. The numerical results are compared with experimental data, indicating that the F-CMOD curves and water pressure changes under different loading conditions are approximately the same. Different types of water pressure distributions are also studied with the proposed coupled model, and the results show that the internal water pressure distribution has an important influence on crack propagation.

  • Flow characteristics in linear axial cascade have been studied using large eddy simulation(LES) based on finite element method(FEM) to investigate details of the leakage flow in the tip clearance of axial flow rotor. STAR-CD(FVM) and PAT-Flow(FEM) have been adopted to solve the Navier-Stokes equations for the simulation of the unsteady turbulent flow. Numerical results from the present study have been compared with the existing experimental results to investigate a tip clearance effect on velocity profile and static pressure distribution on blade surface at various spanwise positions. Both simulation results agree well with the experimental data. However, it has been shown that the results of finite-element large-eddy simulation agree better with experimental data than $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulent model based on finite volume method regarding the tip vortex geometry and static pressure distribution at the center of the tip vortex core. As a result of this study, it is shown that finite-element large-eddy simulation method can predict more exactly on the tip leakage vortex flow and behind flow field.

  • Process parameters of roller levelling process are intermesh of each roller, roller angle, roller arrangement and shape of rollers. Experimental optimization of these process parameters is very troublesome because of difficulties in evaluating the straightness of pipes to be levelled quantitatively. Finite element method can be a very efficient way to evaluate the straightness of the pipes and therefore to optimize the process. This paper is concerned with simulation and optimization of a roller levelling process. Process parameters of a 14-roller levller for aluminum T9 pipes are optimized with finite element method and Taguchi method. Parameters of significance in roller levelling process and their optimum are obtained.

  • We present the numerical characteristics of a new true stress-strain curve acquisition method over a large range of strains by the tensile test and a finite element method through comparing the results obtained by various finite element mesh systems. The method is introduced in detail. The effects of the finite element mesh systems on the results are investigated to show its numerical characteristics of the new method. It is shown that the method is quite robust, implying that it can be used as a special function of the tensile test machines.
