AbstractSimple strategies are used to physically represent the cabin pressure acting on elastomeric seals for aircraft door applications. The relationships between rubber response, contact problem and air pressure are assumed as the initial step to understand the risks of air leakage during the early stages of a flight cycle. Through the finite element method, the non-linear boundary problem is investigated with the distinct contact response from two types of door interfaces. The options available within the ABAQUS commercial software are explored to model the seal as nearly incompressible, whereby the limitations are compared for each solution. In a qualitative approach, the simulations use the contact pressure distributions to define the pressure load for air leakage investigations on the door corners.

The oil film temperature and pressure distributions of the finite width Michell tilting thrust pad are determined from a numerical scheme based on the finite element method. These computed results correlate very well with those obtained from the experiment.

The Helmholtz-Kirchhoff integral (HKI) formula is very useful when designing transducers because it can be used to predict the acoustic pressure of a radiator at any position given only the acoustic pressure and velocity of the source. Many studies have been carried out to determine how to predict the acoustic pressure distributions generated by radiator sources using the HKI formula and boundary conditions. However, if the surface integration process includes radiator edges or vertices, then it is difficult to predict a consistent acoustic pressure distribution accurately, and the precise HKI formula to solve this problem and rigorous derivation are not known. In this article, to overcome these limitations, a formulation of the HKI for the boundary is proposed. This formulation is based on intuitive considerations and proven mathematically. Using the proposed expression of the HKI formula for the boundary, the acoustic pressures radiated by irregular surfaces were calculated and compared with the distributions obtained by the finite element method and theoretically exact solutions. The results obtained with the proposed formulation of the HKI were confirmed to be more accurate than those of the conventional HKI formula.

The present study aims to introduce the linear sampling method for cavity/inclusion detection in a two-dimensional Laplace problem by measuring data on the boundary. This method is categorized as a qualitative approach to image the geometrical features of unknown targets. There has been no specific attempt to apply this method to the identification of cavities/inclusions in the Laplace equation although it has been used in the context of inverse problems such as acoustics, electromagnetism and elastostatics. Therefore, the implementation of the linear sampling method, coupled with the finite element method, is emphasized in this study. A set of numerical simulations on two-dimensional problems is presented to highlight many effective features of the proposed qualitative identification method.
