AbstractThis paper introduces a new concept called self-updated finite element (SUFE). The finite element (FE) is activated through an iterative procedure to improve the solution accuracy without mesh refinement. A mode-based finite element formulation is devised for a four-node finite element and the assumed modal strain is employed for bending modes. A search procedure for optimal bending directions is implemented through deep learning for a given element deformation to minimize shear locking. The proposed element is called a self-updated four-node finite element, for which an iterative solution procedure is developed. The element passes the patch and zero-energy mode tests. As the number of iterations increases, the finite element solutions become more and more accurate, resulting in significantly accurate solutions with a few iterations. The SUFE concept is very effective, especially when the meshes are coarse and severely distorted. Its excellent performance is demonstrated through various numerical examples.

The application of a new approximate technique for treating radiative transfer in absorbing, emitting, anisotropically scattering media in two-dimensional rectangular enclosures is presented. In its development the discontinuous nature of the radiation intensity, stability of the iterative solution procedure, and selection of quadrature points have been addressed. As a result, false scattering is eliminated. The spatial discretization can be formed without considering the chosen discrete directions, permitting a complete compatibility with the discretization of the conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy. The effects of anisotropic scattering, wall emission, and gray-diffuse surfaces are considered for comparison with results available in the literature. The computed numerical results are in excellent agreement with those obtained by other numerical approaches.

New state variables for the bond graph two-phase accumulator are proposed. The usual accumulator states, total fluid mass and total fluid energy, require an iterative solution procedure to obtain accumulator pressure. The newly proposed states, fluid quality and pressure, eliminate these iterations.
