In this paper a finite element method for free-surface problems is described. the method is based on two different forms of Hamilton's principle. To test the present computational method two specific wave problems are investigated; the dispersion relations and the nonlinear effect for the well-known solitary waves are treated. The convergence test shows that the present scheme is more efficient than other existing methods, e.g. perturbation scheme.

In this paper new mesh generation method is proposed for crack propagation analysis based on the finite element method. The main tool of the method is the Delaunay Triangulation, Transfinete element mapping, and it allows the setting of the arbitrary crack-growth increment and the arbitrary crack direction. It has the form of a subroutine, and it is easily introduced as a subroutine for any mesh generation method which is based on the blocking method.

The present paper presents multiscale modelling via coupling of the discrete and finite element methods. Theoretical formulation of the discrete element method using spherical or cylindrical particles has been briefly reviewed. Basic equations of the finite element method using the explicit time integration have been given. The micr-macro transition for the discrete element method has been discussed. Theoretical formulations for macroscopic stress and strain tensors have been given. Determination of macroscopic constitutive properties using dimensionless micro-macro relationships has been proposed. The formulation of the multiscale DEM/FEM model employing the DEM and FEM in different subdomains of the same body has been presented. The coupling allows the use of partially overlapping DEM and FEM subdomains. The overlap zone in the two coupling algorithms is introduced in order to provide a smooth transition from one discretization method to the other. Coupling between the DEM and FEM subdomains is provided by additional kinematic constraints imposed by means of either the Lagrange multipliers or penalty function method. The coupled DEM/FEM formulation has been implemented in the authors' own numerical program. Good performance of the numerical algorithms has been demonstrated in a number of examples.

In the design of the high-speed railway vehicles of low noise and vibration characteristics, it is desirable to develop efficient and systematic procedures for analyzing large structures. In this paper, some finite-element modelling techniques and an efficient analytical method are proposed for this purpose. The analytical method is based on substructuring approach such as a free-interface method and a generalized synthesis algorithm. In final, the proposed approaches are applied to the finite-element modelling, modal analysis and subsequent model updating procedures of the high-speed railway intermediate trailers.

Wrinkling is one of the major defects in sheet metal products and may be also attributable to the wear of the tool. The initiation and growth of wrinkles are influenced by many factors such as stress state, mechanical properties of the sheet material, geometry of the body, and contact condition. It is difficult to analyze the wrinkling initiation and growth considering the factors because the effects of the factors are very complex and the wrinkling behavior may show a wide variation for small deviations of the factors. In this study, the bifurcation theory is introduced for the finite element analysis of wrinkling initiation and growth. All the above mentioned factors are conveniently considered by the finite element method. The finite element formulation is based on the incremental deformation theory and elastic-plastic elements considering the planar anisotropy of the sheet metal. The proposed method is verified by employing a column buckling problem. And then, the initiation and growth of wrinkling in deep drawing of cylindrical cup are analyzed.

This paper presents a beam finite element model of a vibrate wind blade in large elastic deformation subjected to the aerodynamic, centrifugal, gyroscopic and gravity loads. The gyroscopic loads applied to the blade are induced by her simultaneous vibration and rotation. The proposed beam finite element model is based on a simplex interpolation method and it is mainly intended to the numerical analysis of wind blades vibration in large elastic deformation. For this purpose, the theory of the sheared beams and the finite element method are combined to develop the algebraic equations system governing the three-dimensional motion of blade vibration. The applicability of the theoretical approach is elucidated through an original case study. Also, the static deformation of the used wind blade is assessed by appropriate software using a solid finite element model in order to show the effectiveness of the obtained results. To simulate the nonlinear dynamic response of wind blade, the predictor-corrector Newmark scheme is applied and the stability of numerical process is approved during a large time of blade functioning. Finally, the influence of the modified geometrical stiffness on the amplitudes and frequencies of the wind blade vibration induced by the sinusoidal excitation of gravity is analyzed.

A simple numerical procedure is presented to determine the stress intensity factors for crack in a stiffened panel subjected to a uniaxial uniform stress normal to the crack. Two types of stiffened panels are analyzed by the finite element method for various values of crack lengths, stiffness ratios, and stiffener spacings. From the finite element solution, the stress intensity factors were determined by using hybrid extrapolation method. Results are presented in graphical forms for upper mentioned parameters.

In this paper, modal analysis of wind-power generator rotor system was performed by using finite element method. Experimental modal analysis of generator rotor system was performed and the result were compared with analytical ones. Sensitivity method and localized modification method were used to update finite element model. As a result of updating finite element model, errors of natural freguency were reduced within 0.5％ and MAC value was improved near by l. Stability characteristics of wind-power generator rotor-bearing system through harmonic analysis about several external force will be analyzed using finite element model.
