Abstract A finite element alternating method has been known as a very convenient and accurate method to solve two and three-dimensional crack problems. In this method, a general crack problem is solved by a superposition of two solutions. One is a finite element solution for a finite body without a crack, and the other is an analytical solution for a crack in an infinite body. Since a crack is not considered in a finite element model, generating a model is very simple. The method is especially very convenient for a fatigue crack growth simulation. Over the past 40 years, S. N.… More >

Abstract The advent of technology around the globe based on the Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Big Data, Cyber-Physical Systems, and digitalisation. This advancement introduced industry 4.0. It is challenging to measure how enterprises adopt the new technologies. Industry 4.0 introduced Digital Twins, given that no specific terms or definitions are given to Digital Twins still challenging to define or conceptualise the Digital Twins. Many academics and industries still use old technologies, naming it Digital Twins. This young technology is in danger of reaching the plateau despite the immense benefit to sectors. This paper proposes a novel and unique definition for… More >

Abstract In an integrated coal gasification combined cycle plant, cooling pipes are installed in the gasifier reactor and water cooling is executed to avoid reaching an excessively high temperature. To accelerate the design, it is necessary to develop an analysis system that can simulate the cooling operation within the practical computational time. In the present study, we assumed the temperature fields of the cooled object and the cooling water to be governed by the three-dimensional (3D) heat equation and the one-dimensional (1D) convection-diffusion equation, respectively. Although some existing studies have employed similar modeling, the applications have been limited to simple-shaped structures.… More >

Abstract This paper mainly considers the formulation and theoretical analysis of the reduced-order numerical method constructed by proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) for nonlocal diffusion problems with a finite range of nonlocal interactions. We first set up the classical finite element discretization for nonlocal diffusion equations and briefly explain the difference between nonlocal and partial differential equations (PDEs). Nonlocal models have to handle double integrals when using finite element methods (FEMs), which causes the generation of algebraic systems to be more challenging and time-consuming, and discrete systems have less sparsity than those for PDEs. So we establish a reduced-order model (ROM) for… More >

Abstract A novel Adaptive Parallel Feedback-Accelerated Picard Iteration (AP-FAPI) method is proposed to meet the requirements of various aerospace missions for fast and accurate orbit propagation. The Parallel Feedback-Accelerated Picard Iteration (P-FAPI) method is an advanced iterative collocation method. With large-step computing and parallel acceleration, the P-FAPI method outperforms the traditional finite-difference-based methods, which require small-step and serial integration to ensure accuracy. Although efficient and accurate, the P-FAPI method suffers extensive trials in tuning method parameters, strongly influencing its performance. To overcome this problem, we propose the AP-FAPI method based on the relationship between the parameters and the convergence speed leveraging… More >
