A stable technique based on the finite element method for inverse analysis of coupled nonlinear thermo-elastic problems is presented. Not only the time-domain is divided into small intervals, but also the space-domain is divided into several sub-domains. The inverse problem is solved in each sub-domain subsequently. For the inverse analysis in each sub-domain, the unknown boundary conditions are found by using an optimization method and also by employing the information obtained in the previous sub-domain. The method is sufficiently stable to be used for inverse analysis of a thermo-elastic problem under a thermal shock. Three numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method. The effects of the number of sub-domains are investigated in the examples.

Problem statement. The accuracy and convergence of calculations for solving problems of electrodynamics by the finite difference method in the time domain significantly depends on the correct choice of parameters and the correct setting of the absorbing boundary conditions (ABC). Two main types of absorbing boundary conditions are known: Mur ABC; Beranger ABC. It is believed that the Mur ABC is less effective at absorbing spherical waves than the Beranger ABC, but they do not require the introduction of additional parameters (the so-called "Beranger fields"), which simplifies the implementation of program code and saves computer RAM. Calculations have shown that the efficiency of the Mur ABC will depend on their thickness. On the one hand, an increase in the thickness of the ABC layers will lead to an increase in the accuracy of calculations, on the other hand, to an increase in the size of the calculation area and, as a result, an increase in RAM. The problem arises of determining the criterion for evaluating the efficiency of ABC to determine their optimal thickness. Goal. Identification of new factors that make it possible to use the Mur ABC as efficiently as the Beranger ABC, while significantly saving computer resources. Result. The expressions for the ABC are presented, taking into account the interaction of all components of the electromagnetic field within a single cell of the FDTD. Calculations of the reflection coefficient – a criterion for evaluating the efficiency of the ABC, are presented. Practical significance. Calculations are presented that allow automating the selection of ABC parameters for their stable operation in solving electrodynamic problems.

Certain results are presented in this paper on damped vibration of a laminated cantilever beam with a single closing delamination. In order to investigate this task the finite element method has been applied in the current study. For modelling the beam higher order shear deformation beam finite elements have been used. The vibration of the beam is investigated in the time domain using a dynamic contact algorithm developed by the authors. The algorithm is based on the Newmark method and also incorporates a Newton-Raphson based procedure for resolving the equation of motion. The time series obtained from solving the equation of motion have been subsequently analysed in the frequency domain by using FFT (Fast Fourier Transform). The vibration responses of the beam due to various harmonic and impulse excitations, at different delamination locations, and for different delamination lengths, as well as changes in the dissipation of damping energy due to the delamination, have all been considered in the paper.

On the basis of fractional viscoelasticity, the size-dependent free-vibration response of viscoelastic carbon nanotubes conveying fluid and resting on viscoelastic foundation is studied in this article. To this end, a nonlocal Timoshenko beam model is developed in the context of fractional calculus. Hamilton’s principle is applied in order to obtain the fractional governing equations including nanoscale effects. The Kelvin–Voigt viscoelastic model is also used for the constitutive equations. The free-vibration problem is solved using two methods. In the first method, which is limited to the simply supported boundary conditions, the Galerkin technique is employed for discretizing the spatial variables and reducing the governing equations to a set of ordinary differential equations on the time domain. Then, the Duffing-type time-dependent equations including fractional derivatives are solved via fractional integrator transfer functions. In the second method, which can be utilized for carbon nanotubes with different types of boundary conditions, the generalized differential quadrature technique is used for discretizing the governing equations on spatial grids, whereas the finite difference technique is used on the time domain. In the results, the influences of nonlocality, geometrical parameters, fractional derivative orders, viscoelastic foundation, and fluid flow velocity on the time responses of carbon nanotubes are analyzed.

In order to Make Use of Acoustic Wave to Transmit the Information from near- Bit End to a Remote Bit End, Using the Finite Element Method, Simulate and Analyze the Acoustic Wave Propagating Characters of Common near-bit Drill Tools: Ordinary Drill Collar, Spiral Drill Collar, Integral Straight Edge Stabilizer, Integral Spiral Stabilizer and Screw Drill. the Results Show that: because the Form and Size of Axial Cross Section Are in Basic Consistent, the Ordinary Drill Collar and Spiral Drill Collar Not only Have Better Characteristics in Time Domain, No Repeated Oscillation of Waveform Occurring, but Also Have Wider Bandwidth (up to 4KHz), and because of the Stabilizer Section, the Acoustic Impedance in the Axial Direction Discontinuities and the Time Domain Waveforms of other Three Kinds of Drilling Tools Appear that Not only Waveforms Have Shook Repeatedly, but Also the Width of the Pass Band Has Narrowed Significantly.
