A nodeless variables finite element method for analysis of two-dimensional, steady-state viscous incompressible flow is presented. The finite element equations are derived from the governing Navier-Stokes differential equations and a corresponding computer program is developed. The proposed method is evaluated by solving the examples of the lubricant flow in journal bearing and the flow in the lid-driven cavity. An adaptive meshing technique is incorporated to improve the solution accuracy and, at the same time, to reduce the analysis computational time. The efficiency of the combined adaptive meshing technique and the nodeless variables finite element method is illustrated by using the example of the flow past two fences in a channel.

The backward extrusion process is one of the commonly used metal forming processes. In this paper. a battery case which has the rectangular section, is analyzed using a 3D metal forming package(MSC.Superforge). This pacakge uses the finite volume analysis method. It is shown that the MSC.Superforge package using finite volume method provides result very close to those obtained from a finite element analysis package(MSC.Superform). However, the simulation time using the finite volume method was almost 10 % of the simulation time consumed by the other package using finite element method. Moreover, the finite volume method used in MSC.Superforge can eliminate the remeshing problems that make the simulating a metal forming process with severe deformation, such as the extrusion process, so difficult.

Analysis of the vibration characteristic for cylindrical shell is more complex than plates since the coupling effects are considered on three dimensions. Based on Love's equation, spectral finite element method(SFEM) is introduced to predict frequency response function of finite circular cylindrical shell in the air with simply supported - free boundary condition without simplifying the equation of motion. And for the radiated noise analysis of cylindrical shell, indirect boundary element method(BEM) is applied using out-of-plane displacements as an input from structural vibration analysis. Comparisons of the structural vibration results by the spectral finite element method and commercial code, NASTRAN(FEM based) are carried out. Likewise, for verification of radiated noise analysis results, commercial code, SYSNOISE(BEM based) are used.

In this study, a complete analysis of soil-structure interaction problems is presented which includes a modelling of the near surrounding of the building (near-field) and a special description of the wave propagation process in larger distances (far-field). In order to reduce the computational effort which can be very high for time domain analysis of wave propagation problems, a special approach based on similarity transformation of the infinite domain on the near-field/far-field interface is applied for the wave radiation of the far-field. The near-field is discretised with standard Finite Elements, which also allows to introduce non-linear material behaviour. In this paper, a new approach to calculate the involved convolution integrals is presented. This approximation in time leads to a dramatically reduced computational effort for long simulation times, while the accuracy of the method is not affected. Finally, some benchmark examples are presented, which are compared to a coupled Finite Element/Boundary Element approach. The results are in excellent agreement with those of the coupled Finite Element/Boundary Element procedure, while the accuracy is not reduced. Furthermore, the presented approach is easy to incorporate in any Finite Element code, so the practical relevance is high.

Finite element alternating method have been suggested and used for assessing the integrity of cracked structures. In the paper, in order to analyze arbitrarily shaped three dimensional cracks, the finite element alternating method is extended. The cracks are modeled as a distribution of displacement discontinuities by the displacement discontinuity method and the symmetric Galerkin boundary element method. Applied the proposed method to three dimensional crack included in the elbow, the efficiency and applicability of the method were demonstrated.

A method based on frequency domain approaches is presented for the nonlinear parameters identification of structure having nonlinear joints. The finite element model of linear substructure is us ed to calculating its frequency response functions needed in parameter identification process. This method is easily applicable to a complex real structure having nonlinear elements since it uses the frequency response function of finite element model. Since this method is performed in frequency domain, the number of equations required to identify the unknown parameters can be easily increased as many as it needed, just by not only varying excitation amplitude but also selecting excitation frequencies. The validity of this method is tested numerically and experimentally with a cantilever beam having the nonlinear element. It was verified through examples that the method is useful to identify the nonlinear parameters of a structure having arbitary nonlinear boundaries.

본 연구는 파 해석에 있어서 공간-시간 분할 개념을 도입하여 켈러킨 방법으로 해석하였다. 공간-시간 유한요소법은 오직 공간에 대해서만 분할하는 일반적인 유한요소법보다 간편하다. 비교적 큰 시간간격에 대해서 공간과 시간을 동시에 분할하는 방법을 제시하며 가중잔차법이 공간-시간 영역에서 유한요소 정식화에 이용되었다. 큰 시간 간격으로 인하여 문제의 해가 발산하는 경우가 동적인 문제에서 흔히 발생한다. 이러한 결점을 보완한 사각형 공간-시간 요소를 취하여 문제를 해석하고 해의 안정에 대해 기술하였다. 다수의 수치해석을 통하여 이 방법이 효과적 임을 알 수 있었다.

This article describes the technology for constructing of a multiply-connected three-dimensional area's finite element representation. Representation of finite-element configuration of an area is described by a discrete set that consist of the number of nodes and elements of the finite-element grid, that are orderly set of nodes' coordinates and numbers of finite elements. Corresponding theorems are given, to prove the correctness of the solution method. The adequacy of multiply-connected area topology's finite element model is shown. The merging of subareas is based on the criterion of boundary nodes' coincidence by establishing a simple hierarchy of volumes, surfaces, lines and points. Renumbering nodes is carried out by the frontal method, where nodes located on the outer edges of the structure are used as the initial front.

The Finite Element Solutions Is reported on solid-liquid phase change in porous media with natural convection including freezing. The model is based on volume averaged transport equations, while phase change is assumed to occur over a small temperature range. The FEM (Finite Element Method) algorithm used in this study is 3-step time-splitting method which requires much less execution time and computer storage the velocity-pressure integrated method and the penalty method. And the explicit Lax-Wendroff scheme is applied to nonlinear convective term in the energy equation. For natural convection including melting and solidification the numerical results show reasonable agreement with FDM (Finite Difference Method) results.
