In the present research, a fully Automatic crack propagation as one of the most complicated issues in fracture mechanics is studied whether there is an inclusion or no inclusion in the structures. In this study The Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is utilized because of several drawbacks in standard finite element method in crack propagation modeling. Estimated Crack paths are obtained by ...

This paper presents a study on estimation of heat transfer coefficient and thermal diffusivity parameters by use of analytical solutions and experimental data for regular geometries (infinite slab, infinite cylinder and sphere). Analytical solutions have a broad use in experimentally determining these parameters. These solutions, with use of experimental data, might give a greater advantage ove...

We consider integral equations on the halfline of the form x(s) − ∫∞ 0 k(s, t)x(t) dt = y(s) and the finite section approximation xβ to x obtained by replacing the infinite limit of integration by the finite limit β. We establish conditions under which, if the finite section method is stable for the original integral equation (i.e., xβ exists and is uniformly bounded in the space of bounded con...

In this paper, the heat balance integral method is applied to a simple one-dimensional ablation problem. Previous authors have provided solutions that give good approximations over a short time scale; we attempt to provide a solution valid over a large time scale, both before and after ablation begins. We give motivation for the choice of a quartic approximating function n 4 and compare our res...
