Boundary element analysis of 2-dimensional grinding temperature.

DUAL BOUNDARY ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF CRACKED PLATES

The dual boundary element method is formulated for the analysis of linear elastic cracked plates. The dual boundary integral equations of the method are the displacement and the traction equations. When these equations are simultaneously applied along the crack boundaries, general crack problems can be solved in a single-region formulation, with both crack boundaries discretized with discontinu...

Analysis of Temperature Distribution in Grinding of Composites Using Finite Element Method

In this investigation, experiments were carried out to understand the influence of various grinding parameters like wheel speed, workspeed and depth of cut on the grinding temperature at the surface of the Al-SiCP composite workpiece with different grinding wheels. The temperature distribution within the workpiece was studied by simulating the grinding process and using finite element analysis ...

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...

Boundary Element Analysis of a Lined Tunnel Problem

The boundary element technique is a practical problem-solving tool and useful in comparison to other currently popular alternatives. In this paper, a circular tunnel of a diameter 3.4 m is to be excavated through a clayey soil and surrounded by concrete lining of a thickness 0.2 m, so the clear internal diameter is 3.0 m. A plane strain analysis is adopted for such problem and the soil is assum...
