We present an improved immersed boundary method for computing incompressible viscous flow around an arbitrarily moving body on a fixed computational grid. The main idea is to incorporate feedback forcing scheme of virtual boundary method with Peskin's regularized delta function approach in order to use large CFL number and transfer quantities between Eulerian and Lagrangian domain effectively. From the analysis of stability limits and effects of feedback forcing gains, optimum regions of the feedback forcing are suggested.

In this study, fatigue crack behavior between arbitrarily located defects was investigated by experiment. Especially, stress interaction between micro hole defects and fatigue cracking, and fatigue crack initiation life following the variation of location of micro hole defects were considered. In addition, crack initiation position by micro hole stress interaction and the relationship between stress concentration factor and fatigue initiation life are studied in detail.

The Kansa method, which is used for various free vibration problems of arbitrarily shaped plates including membranes, discretizes the domain of a plate using only nodes without elements unlike FEM. The method requires a small amount of computation relative to FEM thanks to this discretization scheme but has limit in the accuracy of its solution. This paper reveals the reason of the limit and, to overcome the limit, proposes the practical method of calculating the singularity of a system matrix and extracting accurate natural frequencies. Case studies for a rectangular plate and an arbitrarily shaped plate validate the proposed method.

The purpose of this study is to calculate the torsional rigidity of arbitrarily shaped composite sections on the basis of hybrid finite element approach. An analogy is used between the torsion problem and deformation of a plate which exhibits only shear behavior. In the analysis a simple hybrid finite element based on Hellinger-Reissner functional is presented and a set of numerical examples are performed to demonstrate and asses the performance of the developed element in practical applications.

An analysis method of electromagnetic coupling through an arbitrarily shaped aperture on the upper wall of parallel-plate waveguide, when excited by an electromagnetic plane wave from outside, is considered. The mixed-potential integral equation, in which Green's functions are expressed in a computationally efficient closed form by using the Prony's method and the Sommerfeld identity, is formulated. Expanding the unknown equivalent magnetic surface current in terms of two-dimensional rooftop-type basis functions and choosing razor testing, the integral equation is reduced to a linear algebraic equation, which is solved. The results are compared with the previous results. Fairly good agreements between them are observed.

This study expanded Terzaghi arching formula, which assumed a vertical surface as a sliding surface, to consider an arbitrarily inclined surface as a sliding surface and examined the effect of a sliding surface. This study firstly developed a formula to expand the existing Terzaghi arching formula to consider an inclined surface as well as a vertical surface as a sliding surface under the downward movement of a trap door. Using the expanded formula, the effect of excavation, ground, and surcharge conditions on a vertical stress was examined and the results were compared with them from Terzaghi arching formula. The comparison indicated that the induced vertical stress was highly affected by the angle of an inclined sliding surface and the degree of influence depended on the excavation, ground, and surcharge conditions. It is expected that the results from this study would provide a better understanding of various arching phenomenon in the future.

An advanced computational strategy for improvement of the accuracy of the structural analysis is developed in this paper. The finite elements connecting the primary nodes are constructed as a ground mesh in a domain, and the secondary nodes can be placed arbitrarily without reconstruction of a mesh. The support domains of the secondary nodes are defined on the basis of finite element mesh, and the shape functions are constructed by using MLS(moving least square) approximations. The present method is useful for controlling the errors without reconstruction of mesh when you add or remove nodes in a domain.

This paper deals with the ESM(equivalent source method) with the continuation of acoustic near-field for NAH(near-field acoustic holography) to overcome the finite measurement aperture effect and reconstruct the normal velocity on an arbitrarily shaped structure surface. The continuation method is an extension of the measured sound field into a region outside and is based on the Green's function relating acoustic quantities on the two conformal surfaces. This algorithm is not limited to planar surfaces and can be applied to arbitrarily shaped surfaces. The ESM is an alternative approach of BEM-based NAH for the reconstruction on a general structure. In ESM the acoustic field is represented by a set of point sources located over a surface that is close to the structure surface. The simulation results of this study shows that the reconstruction error of particle velocity on the source surface is 11% and 16% for planar and cylindrical sources separately.

The reheating of the billet in the semi-solid state as quickly and homogeneously as possible is one of the most imposrtant parts. To obtain a fine globular microstructure in cross section of billet, the optimal design of the induction coil for variation of alloys and specimen sizes is necessary. For the thixo-forging process the construction of the reheating data base is very important, because the reheating conditions are different for variation of SSM and billet sizes. So in this study, the optimal coil design of A356 (ALTHIX) and Aι2024 with d×ι=60×90 (mm) to obtain the globular microstructure is theoretically proposed. The suitability of an optimal coil design will be demonstrated by reheating experiments. Finally, the thixoformability of an arbitrarily shaped product is evaluated by its forming variables. The defects and mechanical properties are also investigated.
