Analysis of thin piezoelectric solids by the boundary element method

The piezoelectric boundary integral equation (BIE) formulation is applied to analyze thin piezoelectric solids, such as thin piezoelectric films and coatings, using the boundary element method (BEM). The nearly singular integrals existing in the piezoelectric BIE as applied to thin piezoelectric solids are addressed for the 2-D case. An efficient analytical method to deal with the nearly singul...

Solidification Problems by the Boundary Element Method

This paper elaborates on the analysis and design of the solidification of pure metais. In the first part of this paper, a direct analysis is presented for the motion of the solid-Iiquid freezing interface and the time-dependent temperature field. An iterative implicit algorithm has been developed for this purpose using the boundary element method (BEM) with time dependent Green’s functions and ...

Evaluation of Fracture Parameters by Coupling the Edge-Based Smoothed Finite Element Method and the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method

This paper presents a technique to evaluate the fracture parameters by combining the edge based smoothed finite element method (ESFEM) and the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM). A semi-analytical solution is sought in the region close to the vicinity of the crack tip using the SBFEM, whilst, the ESFEM is used for the rest of the domain. As both methods satisfy the partition of unity...
