free surface modeling plays an important role in some ocean structures design, especially in oscillating water column (owc) devices. boundary element method (bem) is a suitable method for free surface modeling due to its simplicity, quick solving, and low data storage requirement. in this paper, bem was used for free surface modeling in owc chamber and out of it. linear kinematic and dynamic bo...

This paper presents some recent advances in the boundary element method (BEM) for the analysis of carbon nanotube (CNT)-based composites. Carbon nanotubes, formed conceptually by rolling thin graphite sheets, have been found to be extremely stiff, strong and resilient, and therefore may be ideal for reinforcing composite materials. However, the thin cylindrical shape of the CNTs presents great ...

The BEM is applied to the solution of the torsion problem of non-homogeneous anisotropic non-circular prismatic bars. The problem is formulated in terms of the warping function. This formulation leads to a second order partial differential equation with variable coefficients, subjected to a generalized Neumann type boundary condition. The problem is solved using the Analog Equation Method (AEM)...

A formulation and an implementation of two-dimensional Boundary Element Method (BEM) analysis for steady state, uncoupled thermoelastic problems is presented. This approach differs from other treatments of thermal loads in BEM analysis in which the domain integrals due to the thermal gradients are to be incorporated in the analysis via particular-integrals. Thus unlike Finite Elements or Field ...

A particle accelerated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) boundary element method (BEM) technique is proposed that allows the total sound pressure field produced by low Mach number flow past a rigid body to be predicted. An incompressible CFD solver is used to calculate the transient hydrodynamic flow field. The CFD/BEM coupling technique is then used to compute the acoustic pressure and pressu...

To predict the sound field in an acoustic problem, the well-known non-uniqueness problem has to be solved. In a departure from the common approaches used in the prior literature, the weak-form of the Helmholtz differential equation, in conjunction with vector test-functions, is utilized as the basis, in order to directly derive non-hyper-singular boundary integral equations for the velocity pot...

The forward problem in Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) requires an accurate estimation of its solution. Although analytical solutions exist for a limited number of cases, there is no suitable analytical solution for the geometry of the human head. A commonly adopted method is the use of Finite Element Methods (FEM). However, the human head consists of layers, which include the scalp and C...

Boundary element method (BEM) is a powerful computational tool for analysing piezoelectric problems. The BEM has been so well developed during the past 40 years that it has been considered as a very popular computational tool. This method consists of formulating the engineering problem in terms of an integral equations relating only boundary values and determining its solutions numerically. Thu...

In this paper, to investigate the effects of interference resulting from the standard setting of Block Edge Mask (BEM), assuming the use of LTE systems in the Digital Dividend, the minimum separation distances according to the size of guard band between DTV transmitter and LTE base station for a specific BEM are calculated.

This is a final report for the DIMACS grant of student-initiated project. I implemented Boundary Element Method(BEM) using Java. The system is tested with Rutgers Master II haptic glove. This report covers related background research, implementation of BEM and experiment results.
