Applications of the Trefftz boundary element method (BEM) to anti-plane electroelastic problems are presented in this paper. Both direct and indirect methods with domain decomposition are discussed in details. Each crack is treated as semi-infinite thin slit defined in a subregion, for which a particular solution of the anti-plane problem, satisfying exactly the crack-face condition, is derived. The stress intensity factors defined at each crack tip can be directly computed from the coefficients of the particular solution. The performance of the proposed formulation is assessed by two examples and comparison is made with results obtained by other approaches. The Trefftz boundary element approach is demonstrated to be suitable for the analysis of the anti-plane problem of piezoelectric materials.

In this paper, the influence of ram-pressure on the static and dynamic characteristics of infinite width tilting-pad journal bearing is investigated theoretically. The ram-pressure is obtained by assumption of conservation of mechanical energy of the lubricant flow through the leading edge of the pad. The pressure in the lubricating film is numerically calculated using the ram-pressure obtained as the inlet pressure boundary condition of the pad. The static equilibrium state of tilting-pad journal bearing is determined by Newton-Raphson iteration method. A numerical results are presented in graphic form and relationships between the ram-pressure and the static and dynamic characteristics are discussed.

We calculate the distribution of the induced current on the strip by the TE waves on the infinite conducting strip. The boundary equations represented as the spatial domain function becomevery complicated equations including convolution integral. As we transform it to the spectral domain, we have a very simple equation expressed by some algebraic multiplication of the current density function and Green's function. It is shown that the computation result of the induced current distribution gives the optimum value, when the stop condition of iteration presented in this paper are satisfied.

We calculate the distribution of the current on the strip by the incident waves on the infinite conducting strip line. The boundary equations represented as the spatial domain function become very complicated equations including convolution integral. Transformed it to the spectral domain, we have a very simple equation is composed by some algebraic multiplication of the current density function and Green's function. the acceleration of iteration procedure is achieved by Kastner's method. The result of iteration gives us the optimum value when it satisfies the iteration stop condition presented in this paper. We confirmed that the induced current density distribution on the stripline has been changed as variaties of the width.

This paper deals with the study of hydrodynamic pressure in reservoir adjacent to the concrete gravity dam subjected to dynamic excitation. Widely famous finite element method is used to discretize the reservoir domain for modelling purpose. Pressure is considered as nodal variable following Eulerian approach. A suitable nonreflecting boundary condition is applied at truncated face of reservoir to make the infinite reservoir to finite one for saving the computational cost. Thorough studies have been done on generation of hydrodynamic pressure in reservoir with variation of different geometrical properties. Velocity profile and hydrodynamic pressure are observed due to harmonic excitation for variation of inclination angle of dam reservoir interface. Effect of bottom slope angle and inclined length of reservoir bottom on hydrodynamic pressure coefficient of reservoir are also observed. There is significant increase in hydrodynamic pressure and distinct changes in velocity profile of reservoir are noticeable for change in inclination angle of dam reservoir interface. Change of bottom slope and inclined length of reservoir bottom are also governing factor for variation of hydrodynamic pressure in reservoir subjected to dynamic excitation.

We present a three-dimensional average flow model considering elastic deformation of pad asperities for chemical mechanical planarization. To consider the contact deformation of pad asperities in the calculation of the flow factor, three-dimensional contact analysis of a semi-infinite solid based on the use of influence functions is conducted from computer generated three dimensional roughness data. The average Reynolds equation and the boundary condition of both force and momentum balance are used to investigate the effect of pad roughness and external pressure conditions on film thickness and wafer position angle.

The physical optical solution to the E-polarized diffraction by a composite wedge consisting of perfect conductor and lossless dielectric cannot sayisfy not only the boundary conditions at the wedge interfaces but also the edge condition at the wedge tip. Its diffraction coefficients are extended outside the composite wedge to become the exact solution to the perfectly conducting wedge as its relative dielectric constant increases to infinite or decreases to 1. It is assured that the extended diffraction coefficients approach zero in the arificially complementary region of the composite wedge.

The phusical optics approximation to an E-polarized diffraction by a composite wedge provides its diffraction coefficients in terms of finite series of cotangent functions. In this paper, its diffraction coefficients inside the dielectric part are extended to become the exact solution to the perfectly conducting wedge as its relative dielectric constant increases to infinite or decreases to 1. It is assured that the extended diffraction coefficients satisfy the boundary condition at th econducting interface and become zero in the artificially complementary region of the composite wedge.

Using an index theory for countably condensing maps, we show the existence of eigenvalues for countably k-set contractive maps and countably condensing maps in an infinite dimensional Banach space X, under certain condition that depends on the quantitative haracteristic, that is, the infimum of all $k\;{\geq}\;1$ for which there is a countably k-set-contractive retraction of the closed unit ball of X onto its boundary.

A dynamic analysis of a horseshoe_shaped tunnel near to cavity was performed to study the effect of the cavity on the dynamic behavior of the tunnel. In order to obtain the dynamic response of the tunnel embedded in a semi-infinite domain, a hybrid numerical technique was primarily developed. A dynamic fundamental solution in frequency domain for multi-layered half planes was derived and subsequently incorporated in the boundary element method. Coupling of the boundary element method for the far field with the finite element method for the near field is made by imposing compatibility condition of a displacement at the interface. The boundary element method is then coupled with the finite element method, which is utilized to model the near field including the tunnel and the cavity. In order to demonstrate the validity of the proposed technique, dynamic responses of single and multiply-layered semi-infinite structural systems are obtained by using the Kicker waveform and investigated in the limestone layer to find how the being and the location of the cavity affect the dynamic characteristics of the system.
