In this study, the boundary element analysis in dynamics for the multilayered semi-infinite plane is developed using the fundamental solution for moving loads. Also the indirect method and superposition method are introduced to consider the multilayered systems and moving loads. At each layer the fundamental solution can be obtained by solving the governing equation which is transformed by the Fourier transform. The governing equation can be solved by three conditions; continuity conditions of displacement and stress, the traction free condition at the surface and the radiation condition at the surface and the radiation condition at the infinite distance. To verify the solution and the developed algorithm, the theoretical solution for the homogeneous layer and commercial FEM program is compared with the results of this study.

There are many difficult problems in analyzing the gas flow in puffer type circuit breaker such as complex geometry, moving boundary, shock wave and so on. To predict the interruption performance accurately, these should be considered in the simulation. In this paper, the analysis procedure of the cold gas flow in the circuit breaker is presented. Euler equation is solved by FVFLIC method which is an explicit time difference scheme for an unsteady flow computation. Moving boundaries are treated with a cell elimination-addition technique. The pressure and density in front of piston are calculated from the rate of the cell volume change. The presented method is applied to the real circuit breaker model and the pressure in front of the piston is good agreement with the experimental one.

Wave-body interaction is simulated using a developed code based on the flux-difference splitting scheme for immiscible and incompressible fluids and the hybrid Cartesian/immersed boundary method. A free surface is captured as a moving contact discontinuity within a fluid domain and an approximated Riemann solver is used to estimate the inviscid flux across the discontinuity. Immersed boundary nodes are identified inside an instantaneous fluid domain near a moving body, then dependent variables are reconstructed at those immersed boundary nodes based on interpolation along local normal lines to the boundary. Free surface flows around an oscillating cylinder are simulated and the computed wave elevations are compared with other reported results. The generation of a solitary wave by a moving wave-maker is simulated and the time histories of wave elevations at two different points are compared with other results. The developed code is applied to simulate body motion of an elastically mounted circular cylinder as a solitary wave passes the body. The force acting on an elastically mounted cylinder is compared with the force acting on a fixed cylinder. Grid independency of the computed body motion is established based on a comparison of results using three different-size grids.

In this study, simplified linear numerical method that can simulate wave generation and transformation by a moving bottom is introduced. Numerical analysis is conducted in wave number domain after continuity equation, linear dynamic and kinematic free surface boundary conditions and linear kinematic bottom boundary condition are Fourier transformed, and the results are expressed in space domain by an inverse Fourier transform. In the wavenumber domain, the dynamic free water surface boundary condition and the kinematic free water surface boundary condition are numerically calculated, and the velocity potential in the mean water level (z = 0) satisfies the continuity equation and the kinematic bottom boundary condition. Wave generation and transformation are investigated when the triangular and rectangular shape of bottoms move periodically. The results of the simplified numerical method are compared with the results of previous analytical solutions and agree well with them. Stability of numerical results according to the calculation time interval (Δt) and the calculation wave number interval (Δk) was also investigated. It was found that the numerical results were appropriate when Δt ≤ T(period)/1000 and Δk ≤ π/100.

Melting process inside in a vertical cylinder has been investigated numerically to observe heat transfer characteristics in the latent heat storage vessel applied to the thermal storage system. The time-dependent boundary fitted coordinate system was introduced to overcome the difficulty caused by the moving boundary. The present results are in good agreement with the available previous data when the initial subcooling effect of the solid phase is not considered. It is found that the melting is promoted by the natural convection, but is delayed by the initial subcooling effect of the solid phase.

Numerical flow computations around an aeroelastic 3D square cylinder immersed in the turbulent boundary layer are shown. Present computational code can be characterized by three numerical aspects which are 1) the method of artificial compressibility is adopted for the incompressible flow computations, 2) the domain decomposition technique is used to get better grid point distributions, and 3) to achieve the conservation law both in time and space when the flow is computed a with moving and transformed grid, the time derivatives of metrics are evaluated using the time-and-space volume. To provide time-dependant inflow boundary conditions satisfying prescribed time-averaged velocity profiles, a convenient way for generating inflow turbulence is proposed. The square cylinder is modeled as a 4-lumped-mass system and it vibrates with two-degree of freedom of heaving motion. Those blocks which surround the cylinder are deformed according to the cylinder's motion. Vigorous oscillations occur as the vortex shedding frequency approaches cylinder's natural frequencies.

The expansion of 1D numerical code to 2D or 3D is needed in order to improve the analysis accuracy of the interior ballistics. The cut cell method has been imposed for the code expansion to multi dimensions. The MUSCL-Hancock scheme as a high resolution method has been selected. A feasibility of the cut cell method has been verified by analyzing the free piston problem.

The use of lightweight materials has been steadily increasing in the automotive industry, and presents new challenges to material joining. Among many joining processes, self-piercing riveting (SPR) is particularly promising for joining lightweight materials (such as aluminum alloys) and dissimilar materials (such as steel to Al, and metal to polymer). However, to establish a process window for optimal joint performance, it often requires a long trial-and-error testing of the SPR process. This is because current state of the art in numerical analysis still cannot effectively resolve the problems of severe material distortion and separation in the SPR simulation. This paper presents a coupled meshfree/finite element with a moving boundary algorithm to overcome these numerical difficulties. The simulation results are compared with physical measurements to demonstrate the effectiveness of the present method.

IBM (Immersed Boundary Method) with feedback momentum forcing was applied to stationary and moving bodies. The capability of IBM to treat the obstacle surfaces, especially with moving effect has been tested for two dimensional problems. Stationary and oscillating cylinders were simulated by using IBM based on finite volume method with Cartesian coordinates. For oscillating cylinder, lateral and vertical motions are considered, respectively. Present results such as time histories of drag and lift coefficients for both stationary and oscillating cases are in good agreement with previous numerical and experimental results. Also, the instantaneous wake patterns of oscillating cylinder with different oscillating frequency ratios well represented those of previous researches. More feasibility study for IBM has been carried out to two oscillating cylinders. Drag and lift coefficients are presented for two cylinders oscillating sinusoidally with phase difference of $180^{\circ}$.

The dynamic instability and natural frequency of an axially moving pipe conveying fluid are investigated. Thus, the effects of fluid velocity and moving speed on the stability of the system are studied. The governing equation of motion of the moving pipe conveying fluid is derived from the extended Hamilton's principle. The eigenvalues are investigated for the pipe system via the Galerkin method under the simple support boundary. Numerical examples show the effects of the fluid velocity and moving speed on the stability of system. Moreover, the lowest critical moving speeds for the simply supported ends have been presented.
