The problem of a normal force acting in the thin layer of semi-infinite coating materials has been studied by adopting the image point technology in this paper. The explicit fundamental solution is given in the series of the displacement functions corresponding to each image point. The displacement functions corresponding to the higher order image points can be determined from those to the lower ones by the recurrence formula presented in this paper. Numerical analysis by means of the finite element method has been carried out to verify the theoretical results. It is found that the accurate enough theoretical solution can be obtained by only taking the displacement functions corresponding to the first several image points into account.

Normal Forces

In this work, the spatial theoretical solutions of concentrated normal forces acting in the substrate and at the interface of semi-infinite coating materials have been deduced based on the image point method. The explicit solution is given in the series of the displacement functions corresponding to each image point. It is found that all displacement functions can be deduced by the order of the image point. Numerical analysis has been carried out to verify the theoretical deductions. It is found that the accurate enough theoretical solution can be obtained by only taking the displacement functions corresponding to the first several image points into account. The fundamental solutions for a concentrated force acting at interface of two bonded semi-infinite bodies is also deduced, which is necessary in the analysis of coating materials by using these theoretical solution as the fundamental solution.

This paper is concerned with the convergence of the h-p version of the finite element method for three dimensional Poisson problems with edge singularity on quasi-uniform meshes. First, we present the theoretical results for the convergence of the h-p version of the finite element method with quasi-uniform meshes for elliptic problems on polyhedral domains on smooth functions in the framework of Jacobi-weighted Sobolev spaces. Second, we investigate and analyze numerical results for three dimensional Poission problems with edge singularity. Finally, we verified the theoretical predictions by the numerical computation.

Theoretical Results

Compliant mechanisms gain at least some of their mobility from the deflection of flexible members rather than from movable joints only. Dynamic effects are very important to improving the design of compliant mechanisms. An investigation on the dynamics and synthesis of the compliant mechanisms is presented. The dynamic model of compliant mechanisms is developed at first. The natural frequency and sensitivity are then studied based on the dynamic model. Finally, optimal design of compliant mechanism is investigated. The experimental study of natural frequency is performed. The comparison between the experiment results and the theoretical results verifies the validity of the experiment system and theoretical model.

Abstract The subject of the research is a footbridge across the river Brda in Bydgoszcz. The measurements of the footbridge displacements with the test load were undertaken. The paper presents the results of the measurements and compares them with the theoretical results obtained using the finite element method (FEM). On this basis, discrepancy between actual work of the structure and numerical simulations was found. Attempt to explain the reasons for the observed differences and direction of further research were included in the conclusions.

Adaptive Coupling

This work discusses adaptive iterative coupling strategies for the frequency domain analysis of interacting acoustic-elastodynamic models. The method of fundamental solutions (MFS) is used to analyze acoustic fluids, whereas the finite element method (FEM) is employed to discretize elastodynamic solids. Flexible and optimized iterative MFS-FEM coupling procedures are considered, allowing independent discretizations to be adopted for each subdomain. In this context, it is easy to implement adaptive refinements and enable enhanced analyses. Two adaptive coupling approaches are discussed, based on multiple and single iterative algorithms. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed techniques.

Theoretical Results

In this paper, both equivalent Young’s modulus and bucking load of the honeycombs are calculated using the finite element method. Honeycombs consisting of either regular hexagonal, equilateral triangular or square cells are considered. Numerical results are systematically compared with theoretical results from other literature. It is found that honeycombs display orthotropic properties. Such a fact is different from that reported in open literature. Moreover, the buckling modes are discussed, and the modified expressions of the equivalent modulus and bucking load are given.

Theoretical Results

It is observed in practice that the classic (conventional) method as well as the finite element method, when using beam elements, to evaluate the strength and stiffness of a pressframe, gives results differing substantially from actual values. This discrepancy between experimental and theoretical results can be considerably narrowed if the stress-deformed state of the corner zone is separately considered in the computation of the overall strength and stiffness of the pressframe. By means of the application of the theory of thin-wall curved beam with large curvature it is economically possible to analyze the stress-deformed behavior of the pressform in general and the corner zone element in particular with fair reliability. In the present paper this method is applied to a mechanical C-frame press.

This paper describes the development of a wheel mounted disc brake for the power car of a high-speed train. The disc design consists of two rings bolted on to the wheel hub, one either side of the wheel. The finite element method was used extensively from the very beginning of the design process. This considerably reduced development time and enabled the successful design of a disc for an extremely severe duty. Modelling of bulk thermal effects was found to be most effective for shape optimization and prediction of global disc behaviour, with more sophisticated analyses required to determine more detailed design limits. Results from dynamometer tests and vehicle trials gave good correlation with theoretical results and proved the design suitability for the required duty.

Conservation of the energy and the Hamiltonian of a general non linear Schr¨odinger equation is analyzed for the finite element method “Local Discontinuous Galerkin” spatial discretization. Conservation of the discrete analogue of these quantities is also proved for the fully discrete problem using the modified Crank-Nicolson method as time marching scheme. The theoretical results are validated on a series of problemsfor different nonlinear potentials.
