in this study prediction of the steady-state flow of branched polymer melts in pipe geometry with finite volume method is presented. our analysis in this study revealed that;for normal-stress tqq , the xpp model can predict this tensor unlike the other viscoelastic models such as ptt or gieskus which can not predict tqq for viscoelastic fluid in two dimensional pipe flows. the fluid is modelled...

The elastic-plastic behavior of the material is considered to analyze the effect of an external circumferential crack on a pipe with thickness transition and double slopes. Using the extended finite element method (XFEM), the J-integral of 3D cracks were investigated and compared between straight pipes and pipes with thickness transition and different slopes. Considering internal press...

starting from two-dimensional (2d) equations of motion, discretized formulations for transient behavior of soil-structure interaction problems have been derived. two different dynamic infinite elements taking into account single and two-wave types are presented in transformed space. by coupling the infinite elements with standard finite elements, an ordinary finite element procedure is used for...

a non-linear finite element model could be a useful tool in the development of a method of predicting soil pressure-sinkage behaviour, and can be used to investigate and analyze soil compaction. this study was undertaken to emphasize that the finite element method (fem) is a proper technique to model soil pressure-sinkage behaviour. for this purpose, the finite element method was used to model ...

in this article, we study the new streamline diffusion finite element for treating the linear second order hyperbolic initial-boundary value problem. we prove a posteriori $ l^2(l^2)$ and error estimates for this method under minimal regularity hypothesis. test problem of an application of the wave equation in the laser is presented to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the method.

in this paper, based on the slab method of analysis, a novel and general approach isdeveloped for studying the radial forging process with curved profile dies. the presented approachis not only more general with respect to previous studies, but it is also easier to understand and useand can be efficiently used for optimization of the die profile depending on the forging geometryand conditions. ...
