Analysis of Stress Singularity Field in Three-Dimensional Joints Using Three-Dimensional Boundary Element Method

seismic waves scattering in three-dimensional homogeneous media using time-domain boundary element method

it is well established that the seismic ground response of surface topographies may differ from those of free field motion during earthquakes. complex nature of seismic wave scattering by topographical structures can only be solved accurately and economically using advanced numerical methods under realistic conditions. among the numerical methods, the boundary element is a powerful numerical te...

Mechanical Buckling Analysis of Composite Annular Sector Plate with Bean-Shaped Cut-Out using Three Dimensional Finite Element Method

In this paper, mechanical buckling analysis of composite annular sector plates with bean shape cut out is studied. Composite material sector plate made of Glass-Epoxy and Graphite-Epoxy with eight layers with same thickness but different fiber angles for each layer. Mechanical loading to form of uniform pressure loading in radial, environmental and biaxial directions is assumed. The method used...

An Improved Boundary Element Analysis of Cavitating Three-dimensional Hydrofoils

A theoretical analysis of three–dimensional cavitating flows based on a boundary element approach which includes rotational and viscous flow effects is presented. Partial sheet cavitation is studied by a closed–cavity nonlinear model which includes the prediction of the cavity detachment point. The trailing vorticity path is described by a wake– alignment technique. Viscosity effects are includ...

analysis of three dimensional of forward extrusion using slab method and finite element

slab method of analysis has been used for solving metal forming problems for a long time. however it has been restricted to plane strain and axisymmetric problems due to limitations in its formulations. in this paper a new formulation has been proposed so that it could be applied to three dimensional problems in metal forming. a parametric slab has been considered in this analysis and the force...
