    Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) Mixed Finite Difference Method for Solid Mechanics

    S. N. Atluri1, H. T. Liu2, Z. D. Han2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.15, No.1, pp. 1-16, 2006, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2006.015.001
    Abstract The Finite Difference Method (FDM), within the framework of the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) approach, is proposed in this paper for solving solid mechanics problems. A "mixed'' interpolation scheme is adopted in the present implementation: the displacements, displacement gradients, and stresses are interpolated independently using identical MLS shape functions. The system of algebraic equations for the problem is obtained by enforcing the momentum balance laws at the nodal points. The divergence of the stress tensor is established through the generalized finite difference method, using the scattered nodal values and a truncated Taylor expansion. The traction More >

    Boundary Element Method for Magneto Electro Elastic Laminates

    A. Milazzo1, I. Benedetti2, C. Orlando3
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.15, No.1, pp. 17-30, 2006, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2006.015.017
    Abstract A boundary integral formulation and its numerical implementation are presented for the analysis of magneto electro elastic media. The problem is formulated by using a suitable set of generalized variables, namely the generalized displacements, which are comprised of mechanical displacements and electric and magnetic scalar potentials, and generalized tractions, that is mechanical tractions, electric displacement and magnetic induction. The governing boundary integral equation is obtained by generalizing the reciprocity theorem to the magneto electro elasticity. The fundamental solutions are calculated through a modified Lekhnitskii's approach, reformulated in terms of generalized magneto-electro-elastic displacements. To assess the More >

    Analysis and Optimization of Dynamically Loaded Reinforced Plates by the Coupled Boundary and Finite Element Method

    P. Fedelinski1, R. Gorski1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.15, No.1, pp. 31-40, 2006, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2006.015.031
    Abstract The aim of the present work is to analyze and optimize plates in plane strain or stress with stiffeners subjected to dynamic loads. The reinforced structures are analyzed using the coupled boundary and finite element method. The plates are modeled using the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DR-BEM) and the stiffeners using the finite element method (FEM). The matrix equations of motion are formulated for the plate and stiffeners. The equations are coupled using conditions of compatibility of displacements and equilibrium of tractions along the interfaces between the plate and stiffeners. The final set of… More >

    Accurate Force Evaluation for Industrial Magnetostatics Applications with Fast Bem-Fem Approaches

    A. Frangi1, L. Ghezzi, P. Faure-Ragani2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.15, No.1, pp. 41-48, 2006, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2006.015.041
    Abstract Three dimensional magneto-mechanical problems at low frequency are addressed by means of a coupled fast Boundary Element - Finite Element approach with total scalar potential and focusing especially on the issue of global force calculation on movable ferromagnetic parts. The differentiation of co-energy in this framework and the use of Maxwell tensor are critically discussed and the intrinsic links are put in evidence. Three examples of academic and industrial applications are employed for validation. More >

    Wavelet Based 2-D Spectral Finite Element Formulation for Wave Propagation Analysis in Isotropic Plates

    Mira Mitra1, S. Gopalakrishnan1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.15, No.1, pp. 49-68, 2006, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2006.015.049
    Abstract In this paper, a 2-D Wavelet based Spectral Finite Element (WSFE) is developed and is used to study wave propagation in an isotropic plate. Here, first, wavelet approximation is done in both temporal and one spatial (lateral) dimension to reduce the governing partial differential wave equations to a set of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). Daubechies compactly supported orthogonal scaling functions are used as basis which allows finite domain analysis and easy imposition of initial/boundary conditions. However, the assignment of initial and boundary conditions in time and space respectively, are done following two different methods. Next,… More >
