A development in the finite volume method for the crack growth analysis without global remeshing
Crack growth analysis has remained one of the challenging problems in the fracture mechanics of structures. On the other hand, the fatigue crack growth is a common phenomenon in the components of structures like airplanes, navies and fluid storages where the fracture due to crack should be considered in the design of these structures. In this paper, the finite volume method (FVM) is extended fo...
متن کاملA Finite Element Model for Simulating Flow around a Well with Helically Symmetric Perforations
In a perforated well, fluids enter the wellbore through array of perforation tunnels. These perforations are typically distributed in a helical pattern around the wellbore. Available numerical models to simulate production flow into cased-and-perforated vertical wells have complicated boundary conditions or suffer from high computational costs. This paper presents a simple and at the same time ...
متن کاملMonotone combined finite volume-finite element scheme for a bone healing model
We define a combined edge FV-FE scheme for a bone healing model. This choice of discretization allows to take into account anisotropic diffusions and does not impose any restrictions on the mesh. Moreover, following [3], we propose a nonlinear correction to obtain a monotone scheme. We present some numerical experiments which show its good behavior.
متن کاملMultilevel Preconditioning for Finite Volume Element Methods
We consider precondition of linear systems resulting from the finite volume element method (FVEM) for elliptic boundary value problems. With the help of the interpolation operator from a trial space to a test space and the operator induced by the FVEM bilinear form, we show that both wavelet preconditioners and multilevel preconditioners designed originally for the finite element method for the...
متن کاملA NEW APPROACH BASED ON FINITE ELEMENT MODEL UPDATING FOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE IDENTIFICATION
In this study, the finite element model updating was simulated by reducing the stiffness of the members. Due to lack of access to the experimental results, the data obtained from an analytical model were used in the proposed structural damage scenarios. The updating parameters for the studied structures were defined as a reduction coefficient applied to the stiffness of the members. Parameter v...
