A method employing infinite elements is described for the magnetic field computations of the magnetic circuits with permanent magnet. The system stiffness matrix is derived by a variational approach, while the interfacial boundary conditions between the finite element regions and the infinite element regions are dealt with using collocation method. The proposed method is applied to a simple linear problems, and the numerical results are compared with those of the standard finite element method and the analytic solutions. It is observed that the proposed method gives more accurate results than those of the standard finite element method under the same computing efforts.

A reliable analytic model that determines the exit cross sectional shape a workpiece(material) in round-oval (oroval-round) pass sequence has been developed. The exit cross sectional shape of an outgoing workpiece is predicted by using the linear interpolation of the radius of curvature of an incoming workpiece and that of roll groovw to the roll axis direction. The requirements placed on the choice of the weighting function were to ensure boundary conditions specified. The validity of the analytic model has been examined by not rod rolling experiment with the roll gap and specimen size changed. The exit cross sectional shape and area of the workpiece predicted by the proposed analytic model were good agreement with those obtained experimentally. We found that the analytic model has not only simplicity and accuracy for practical usage but also save a large amount of computational time compared with finite element method.

A variational approach employing localized functional is presented to solve alternating magnetic field problems with open boundary. The functional used in the approach consists of the domain integral of finite element region only and the boundary integral of the interfacial boundary between the finite and infinite element regions. The boundary integral is obtained by transforming the infinite domain integral for the infinite element region into the interfacial boundary integral. The proposed algorithm is then applied to a simple two-dimensional problem where the analytic solutions are available. It is shown that the algorithm makes it possible to yield good agreements between the numerical and analytic solutions. and that it requires less computer storage memory and computation time than the conventional finite element method due to the reduction of the computing region.

The submarine is an underwater weapon system which covertly attacks the enemy. Pressure hull of a submarine is a main system which has to have a capacity which can improve the survivability (e.g., protection of crews) from the high pressure and air pollution by a leakage of water, a fire caused by outside shock, explosion, and/or operational errors. In addition, pressure hull should keep the functional performance under the harsh environment. In this study, optimal design of submarine pressure hull is dealt with 7 case studies done by analytic method and then each result's adequacy is verified by numerical method such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA). For the structural analysis by FEM, material non-linearity and geometric non-linearity are considered. After FEA, the results by analytic method and numerical method are compared. Weight optimized pressure hull initial scantling methods are suggested such as a ratio with shell thickness, flange width, web height and/or relations with radius, yield strength and design pressure (DP). The suggested initial scantling formulae can reduce the pressure hull weight from 6% and 19%.

Impact pressure due to sloshing is of great concern for the ship owners, designers and builders of the LNG carriers regarding the safety of LNG containment system and hull structure. Sloshing of LNG in partially filled tank has been an active area of research with numerous experimental and numerical investigations over the past decade. In order to accurately predict the sloshing impact load, a new numerical method was developed for accurate resolution of violent sloshing flow inside a three-dimensional LNG tank including wave breaking, jet formation, gas entrapping and liquid-gas interaction. The sloshing flow inside a membrane-type LNG tank is simulated numerically using the Finite-Analytic Navier-Stokes (FANS) method. The governing equations for two-phase air and water flows are formulated in curvilinear coordinate system and discretized using the finite-analytic method on a non-staggered grid. Simulations were performed for LNG tank in transverse and longitudinal motions including horizontal, vertical, and rotational motions. The predicted impact pressures were compared with the corresponding experimental data. The validation results clearly illustrate the capability of the present two-phase FANS method for accurate prediction of impact pressure in sloshing LNG tank including violent free surface motion, three-dimensional instability and air trapping effects.

Response variability of reinforced concrete frame subjected to material property randomness has been evaluated with the aid of the finite element method. The spatial variation of Young's modulus is assumed to be a two-dimensional homogeneous stochastic process. Young's Modulus of concrete material has been investigated based on the uiaxial strength of concrete cylinder. Direct Monte Carlo simulation method is used to investigate the response of reinforced concrete frame due to the variation of Young's modulus with the Neumann expansion method and the pertubation method. The results by three analytic methods are compared with those by deterministic finite element analysis. These stochastic technique may be an efficient tool for evaluating the structural safety and reliability of reinforced concrete structures.

This paper presents the method of numerical analysis concerned with the hydropdynamic forces and moments of the floating bodies exerted by waves. The analytic methods of hydrodynamic wave forces and moments for large volume structures are generally classified into four categories ; the strip method, the boundary element method, the finite element method, and the potential matching method. In the case of the comparatively large structures, diffraction theory can be applied. However, there are no application limits of diffraction theory which have been known concerning with the analytic method of the rectangular structures. In this paper, the two-dimensional B.E.M. is treated for a moored small rectangular structure in order to evaluate applicability of diffraction theory. Numerical calculation is carried out for the structure. The results are compared with some other ones for verification. The result shows that diffraction theory is applicable to structures smaller than 0.15 in the ratio of the representative structure length d to wave length L for rectangular ones.

This paper presents a preform design method that combines the analytic method and inference of known knowledge with neural network. The analytic method is a finite element method that is used to simulate backward extrusion with pre-defined process parameters. The multi-layer network and back-propagation algorithm are utilized to learn the training examples from the simulation results. The design procedures are utilized to learn the training examples from the simulation results. The design procedures are two methods the first the neural network infer the deformed shape from the pre-defined processes parameters. The other the network infer the processes parameters from deformed shape. Especially the latest method is very useful to design the preform From the desired feature it is possible to determine the processes parameters such as friction stroke and tooling geometry. The proposed method is useful for shop floor to decide the processes parameters and preform shapes for producing sound product.

An accurate analysis procedure to solve the flow about a flat plate at various incidences has been developed. The Navier-Stokes equations of stream function and vorticity form are solved in a sufficiently large computational domain, in which the grid lines are mutually orthogonal. The details of the flow near the singularity at the tip of the plate is well captured by the analytic solution which is asymptotically matched to the numerically generated outer solution. The solution for each region is obtained iteratively : the solution of one (inner or outer) region uses that of the other as the boundary condition after each cycle. The resulting procedure is accurate everywhere and also computationally efficient as the singularity has been removed. It is applied to the flat plate for a wide range of Re : the results agree very well with the existing computation and experiment.

This paper describes the finite element analysis of magnetostatic field problems with permanent magnets. Two kinds of algorithms, one using the magnetic vector potential and the other using the magnetic scalar potential, are introduced. The magnetization of the pemanent magnet is used as the source instead of the magnetic equivalent current in both of the formulations using the magnetic vector potential and the magnetic scalar potential. A simple functional, which has only the region integral instead of the region integral and boundary integral, is derived in the formulation using the magnetic scalar potential. These make the formulation of the system equations simpler and more convenient than the conventional methods. The numerical results by the two proposed algorithms for a C-type permanent magnet model are compared with the analytic solutions respectively. The numerical results are in good agreement with the analytic solutions.
