Bueckner’S Principle

This paper presents a numerical approach for modeling multiple crack fatigue growth in a plane elastic infinite plate. It involves a generation of Bueckner’s principle, In the numerical simulation, for each increment of crack extension, remeshing of existing boundaries is not necessary. Crack extension is modeled conveniently by adding new boundary elements on the incremental crack extension to the previous crack boundaries. At the same time, the element characters of some related elements are adjusted according to the manner in which the boundary element method is implemented. Fatigue growth of an inclined crack in a infinite plate under cyclic load is modeled to illustrate the effectiveness of the numerical approach.

Numerical simulation of vibro-stone column is taken to simulate the installation of vibro-stone column. A relationship based on test is adopted to calculate the excess pore pressure induced by vibratory energy during the installation of vibro-stone column. A numerical procedure is developed based on the formula and Terzaghi-Renduric consolidation theory. Finally numerical results of composite stone column are compared single stone column.

This paper presents a numerical approach to modeling a general system containing multiple interacting cracks and voids in an infinite elastic plate under remote uniform stresses. By extending Bueckner’s principle suited for a crack to a general system containing multiple interacting cracks and voids, the original problem is divided into a homogeneous problem (the one without cracks and voids) subjected to remote loads and a multiple void-crack problem in an unloaded body with applied tractions on the surfaces of cracks and voids. Thus the results in terms of the stress intensity factors (SIFs) can be obtained by considering the latter problem, which is analyzed easily by means of the displacement discontinuity method with crack-tip elements (a boundary element method) proposed recently by the author. Test examples are included to illustrate that the numerical approach is very simple and effective for analyzing multiple crack/void problems in an infinite elastic plate. Specifically, the numerical approach is used to study the microdefect-finite main crack linear elastic interaction. In addition, complex crack problems in infinite/finite plate are examined to test further the accuracy and robustness of the boundary element method.

Good Agreement

In the present study, the synthetic signals from the combo tube are simulated by using commercial electromagnetic numerical analysis software which has been developed based on a volume integral method. A comparison of the simulated signals to the experiments is made for the verification of accuracy, and then evaluation of five deliberated single circumferential indication signals is performed to explore a possibility of using a numerical simulation as a practical calibration tool. The good agreement between the evaluation results for two cases (calibration done by experiments and calibration made by simulation) demonstrates such a high possibility.

The corrosion of structures is needed to be identified early to prevent any severe damage of buildings. The conventional technique such as potential mapping for diagnosing of reinforced concrete corrosion has been used widely in the field. However, the method has limitation such as less accuracy, laborious and time-consuming. This study is conducted to develop boundary element method 3 dimensions by considering polarization curves of anode and cathode for corrosion simulation and analyzed the influences of anode profiles for RC corrosion simulation. In this method, the potential in concrete domain was modeled by Laplace’s equation. The anode and cathode areas were represented by each polarization curves. The numerical simulation result shows that the boundary element method 3 dimensions successfully solved the Laplace’s equation in order to simulate corrosion phenomenon of reinforced concrete. The influences of anode profiles for RC corrosion simulation have been analyzed. Further works are needed to reduce the computational effort of corrosion simulation.
