The cavity expansion approach has been a popular tool to interpret wide range of geotechnical problems over the last several decades. Most previous research focused on cylindrical and/or spherical cavities, whereas nonstandard cavities have received much less attention. To address this shortcoming, paper presents general theoretical framework for two-dimensional (2D) displacement-controlled und...

Abstract The numerical simulation of the induction heating process can be computationally expensive, especially if ferromagnetic materials are studied. There several analytical models that describe electromagnetic phenomena. However, these very limited by geometry coil and workpiece. Thus, usual method for computing more complex systems is to use finite element solve set equations in multiphysi...

Abstract A numerically efficient, semi‐analytical solution of the Reynolds equation for hydrodynamic journal bearings is developed based on Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method. The pressure field discretized along circumferential coordinate lubrication gap, while an analytical formulation used in axial direction. system inhomogeneous ordinary differential equations obtained, which solved unde...

We detailedly describe a recently-developed semi-analytical method to quantitatively calculate light transmission properties of hollow-core anti-resonant fibers (HC-ARFs). Formation of equiphase interface at fiber’s outermost boundary and outward light emission ruled by Helmholtz equation in fiber’s transverse plane constitute the basis of this method. Our semi-analytical calculation results ag...
