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...

The fast multipole method (FMM) has been regarded as one of the top 10 algorithms in scientific computing that were developed in the 20th century. Combined with the FMM, the boundary element method (BEM) can now solve large-scale problems with several million degrees of freedom on a desktop computer within hours. This opened up a wide range of applications for the BEM that has been hindered for...

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.

Currently, wind energy, a reliable, affordable, and clean energy source, contributes to 16% of Europe’s electricity. A typical modern turbine design lifespan is 20 years. In European Union countries, the number turbines reaching years or older will become significant beyond 2025. This research study presents methodology aiming upgrade rotor blades for existing extend life. employs blade element...

Petroleum reservoir engineering requires solutions to the transient diffusion and convection-diffusion equations. Traditionally these calculations are carried out using finite difference methods. Prior workers have used perturbation-based boundary element methods for single phase flow in heterogeneous media. The current work applies the Dual Reciprocity Boundary Element Method (DRBEM) and the G...

Increasingly complex electromagnetic devices require more flexible modelling, and fast and accurate computation of performance parameters. Although two-dimensional analysis provides good approximations, often the physics of the problem requires three-dimensional analysis. Using the Boundary Element Method (BEM) for three-dimensional analysis, now provides unprecedented design opportunities to e...
