Article introduces an extension of the approximating functions method, a particular case of the finite element method (FEM) with interpolating functions in the form of Lagrange polynomials of a special form, to solve electrodynamics problems in a planar waveguide with constant polarization in the spatial-temporal domain using the Volterra integral equation method. The main goal of the article is to expand the area of ​​applicability of this method to three-dimensional problems in a planar waveguide with constant polarization, as well as to obtain general interpolation expressions in analytical form, which will be used to construct a system of nonlinear equations for solving specific problems.

Minimum Requirements

Rehabilitation with implant prostheses in posterior areas requires the maximum number of possible implants due to the greater masticatory load of the region. However, the necessary minimum requirements are not always present in full. This project analyzed the minimum principal stresses (TMiP, representative of the compressive stress) to the friable structures, specifically the vestibular face of the cortical bone and the vestibular and internal/lingual face of the medullary bone. The experimental groups were as follows: the regular splinted group (GR), with a conventional infrastructure on 3 regular-length Morse taper implants (4 × 11 mm); and the regular pontic group (GP), with a pontic infrastructure on 2 regular-length Morse taper implants (4 × 11 mm). The results showed that the TMiP of the cortical and medullary bones were greater for the GP in regions surrounding the implants (especially in the cervical and apical areas of the same region) but they did not reach bone damage levels, at least under the loads applied in this study. It was concluded that greater stress observed in the GP demonstrates greater fragility with this modality of rehabilitation; this should draw the professional's attention to possible biomechanical implications. Whenever possible, professionals should give preference to use of a greater number of implants in the rehabilitation system, with a focus on preserving the supporting tissue with the generation of less intense stresses.

Abstract The paper describes the intention of the authors to determine whether it is possible to predict relative belt edge endurance for radial passenger car tires using the finite element method. Three groups of tires with different belt edge configurations were tested on a fleet test in an attempt to validate predictions from the finite element results. A two-dimensional, axisymmetric finite element analysis was first used to determine if the results from such an analysis, with emphasis on the shear deformations between the belts, could be used to predict a relative ranking for belt edge endurance. It is shown that such an analysis can lead to erroneous conclusions. A three-dimensional analysis in which tires are modeled under free rotation and static vertical loading was performed next. This approach resulted in an improvement in the quality of the correlations. The differences in the predicted values of various stress analysis parameters for the three belt edge configurations are studied and their implication on predicting belt edge endurance is discussed.

The fracture of high-strength impactor in interaction with a steel barrier is investigated. Three typesof head parts of the impactor are considered: flat, hemispherical and ogival. Normal and oblique interactions with velocities of 700 and 1000 m/s are investigated. Modeling is carried out by the finite element method in a three-dimensional formulation using the author's software EFES 2.0.The limit value of intensity of plastic deformations is used as a fracture criterion. The influence of the striker head part shape, interaction velocity, interaction angle on the fracture of the impactor and the barrier has been investigated. Conditions under which the striker ricochets were defined.

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.

Abstract The finite-element method is being used to simulate glacier flow problems, with particular emphasis on the surge behaviour of the Barnes Ice Cap, Baffin Island. Following an advanced feasibility study to determine the influence of major factors such as bed topography and flow relationships, a refined simulation model is being developed to incorporate realistically: the thermal regime of the ice mass; large deformations during flow and sliding; basal sliding zones; a temperature and stress dependent ice flow relationship; mass balance; and three-dimensional influences. The findings of the advanced feasibility study on isothermal, steady-state flow of the Barnes Ice Cap are presented in the paper before turning to a detailed discussion of the refined simulation model and its application to surging. It is clear that the finite-element method allows necessary refinements not available to analytical approaches.

Abstract The application of the finite element method to the modeling of Cosserat solids is investigated in detail. In two- and three-dimensional elasticity problems, the nodal unknowns are the components of the displacement vector, which form a linear field. In contrast, when dealing with Cosserat solids, the nodal unknowns form the special Euclidean group SE(3), a nonlinear manifold. This observation has numerous implications on the implementation of the finite element method and raises numerous questions: (1) What is the most suitable representation of this nonlinear manifold? (2) How is it interpolated over one element? (3) How is the associated strain field interpolated? (4) What is the most efficient way to obtain the discrete equations of motion? All these questions are, of course intertwined. This paper shows that reliable schemes are available for the interpolation of the motion and curvature fields. The interpolated fields depend on relative nodal motions only, and hence, are both objective and tensorial. Because these schemes depend on relative nodal motions only, only local parameterization is required, thereby avoiding the occurrence of singularities. For Cosserat solids, it is preferable to perform the discretization operation first, followed by the variation operation. This approach leads to considerable computation efficiency and simplicity.
