On the Efficiency of the Parallel-in-Time Finite Volume Calculation of the Unsteady Navier-Stokes Equations
J. M. F. Trindade¹, J. C. F. Pereira²
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.20, No.1, pp. 1-10, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2007.020.001
Abstract In this paper, we discuss the efficiency and speed-up of parallel-in-time calculations of the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a PC-cluster. The parallel-in-time method is based on the alternate use of coarse global sequential solvers with fine local parallel ones in an iterative predictor-corrector fashion. Therefore, the efficiency of parallel calculations is strongly dependent on the number of iterations required for convergence. The one-dimensional scalar transport equation and the two-dimensional incompressible unsteady form of the Navier-Stokes equations were used to conduct numerical experiments to derive some conclusions concerning the accuracy and convergence of the iterative… More >

FEM Analysis of Knife Penetration through Woven Fabrics
L. Wang¹, S. Zhang, W. M. Gao, X. Wang
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.20, No.1, pp. 11-20, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2007.020.011
Abstract In this paper, the penetration of a knife through a plain woven fabric is simulated with the finite element method to understand the process of stabbing and the mechanism of fiber breakage. The model focuses on the study of the deformation of individual yarns, and the effects of their material properties and fabric structure on the stabbing resistant force. The performance of the fabric is analyzed as a response of stabbing and the stress distributions in yarn transverse and longitudinal directions. An equation derived from energy and momentum conservations of the knife is proposed to More >

The Trefftz Boundary Method in Viscoelasticity
Berardi Sensale Cozzano¹, Berardi Sensale Rodríguez²
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.20, No.1, pp. 21-34, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2007.020.021
Abstract In this paper, the Trefftz method is applied to solve linear viscoelasticity problems in the time domain, using Trefftz elastic series and considering the viscoelastic components in each time domain as fictitious body forces. The direct application of the Trefftz method to elastic problems is typically constrained to those cases in which the Navier equation is homogeneous. In the presence of body forces, the method of the particular solution or the method of the generalized particular solution should be used, depending on whether the body forces are constant or not inside the considered domain.

A Posteriori Error Estimation and Adaptive Node Refinement for Fast Moving Least Square Reproducing Kernel (FMLSRK) Method
Chany Lee¹, Chang-Hwan Im², Hyun-Kyo Jung³, Hong-Kyu Kim⁴, Do Wan Kim⁵
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.20, No.1, pp. 35-42, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2007.020.035
Abstract In the present study, a residual-based a posteriori error estimation for a kind of meshless method, called fast moving least square reproducing kernel (FMLSRK) method is proposed. The proposed error estimation technique does not require any integration cells in evaluating error norm but recovers the exact solutions in a virtual area defined by a dilation parameter of FMLSRK and node density. The proposed technique was tested on typical electrostatic problems with gird or random node sets and the simulation results show that the proposed error estimation technique can be applied to adaptive node refinement process More >

Development of Heat Input Estimation Technique for Simulation of Shell Forming by Line-Heating
N. Osawa¹, K. Hashimoto¹, J. Sawamura¹, J. Kikuchi², Y. Deguchi², T. Yamaura²
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.20, No.1, pp. 43-54, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2007.020.043
Abstract A new hypothesis regarding heat transmission during line heating is proposed. It states that the distribution of the temperature of the gas adjacent to the plate, T_G, and the overall local heat transfer coefficient, α, depend only on the distance from the torch. An identification technique for T_G and α is developed. The validity of the employed hypothesis and the proposed technique is demonstrated by comparing the measured and identified T_G during a spot heating test. The plate temperature calculated by direct heat conduction analysis closely approximates the one measured for the spot and line heating tests, More >

On the Modelling of Rate-Dependent Domain Switching in Piezoelectric Materials under Superimposed Stresses
A. Arockiarajan¹, A. Menzel²
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.20, No.1, pp. 55-72, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2007.020.055
Abstract To study rate-dependent properties of piezoelectric materials a micro-mechanically motivated model is applied in this work. The developed framework is embedded into a coupled three-dimensional finite element setting, whereby each element is assumed to represent one grain and, moreover, possesses a random initialisation of the underlying polarisation direction. Furthermore, an energy-based criterion is used for the initiation of the onset of domain switching and the subsequent propagation of domain wall motion during the switching process is modelled via a linear kinetics theory. The interaction between individual grains is thereby incorporated by means of a probabilistic More >
