چکیده
|In this paper, we discuss the properties of the mixed consistently and non-consistently linear (Whitney) edge nite elements for 3D eddy-current analysis. We report that by mixing these two types of nite elements the computational resources and efforts can be greatly reduced for the same accuracy of the results. Due to the nature of the edge-based shape functions which has the constant rotation and are divergence-free, we further show that the use of the mixed method is justi ed only for eddy-current analysis. The proposed mixed method was successfully applied for eddy-current non-destructive evaluation of thin cracks inside conductive materials.

Mixed-Mode Stress Intensity Factors for Surface Cracks in Functionally Graded Materials Using Enriched Finite Elements
Three-dimensional enriched finite elements are used to compute mixed-mode stress intensity factors (SIFs) for three-dimensional cracks in elastic functionally graded materials (FGMs) that are subject to general mixed-mode loading. The method, which advantageously does not require special mesh configuration/modifications and post-processing of finite element results, is an enhancement of previou...
متن کاملWhich elements of a finite group are non-vanishing?
Let $G$ be a finite group. An element $gin G$ is called non-vanishing, if for every irreducible complex character $chi$ of $G$, $chi(g)neq 0$. The bi-Cayley graph ${rm BCay}(G,T)$ of $G$ with respect to a subset $Tsubseteq G$, is an undirected graph with vertex set $Gtimes{1,2}$ and edge set ${{(x,1),(tx,2)}mid xin G, tin T}$. Let ${rm nv}(G)$ be the set of all non-vanishi...
متن کاملEstimation of Fracture path in the Structures and the Influences of Non-singular term on crack propagation
In the present research, a fully Automatic crack propagation as one of the most complicated issues in fracture mechanics is studied whether there is an inclusion or no inclusion in the structures. In this study The Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is utilized because of several drawbacks in standard finite element method in crack propagation modeling. Estimated Crack paths are obtained by ...
متن کاملNon Uniform Rational B Spline (NURBS) Based Non-Linear Analysis of Straight Beams with Mixed Formulations
Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed traditionally using conventional finite element basis functions (i.e., cubic Hermite, equi-spaced Lagrange interpolation functions, or spectral/hp Legendre functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, tota...
متن کاملTime-dependent analysis of carrier density and potential energy in spherical centered defect InGaAs/AlGaAs quantum dot (SCDQD)
Interaction and correlation effects in quantum dots play a fundamental role in defining both their equilibrium and transport properties. Numerical methods are commonly employed to study such systems. In this paper we investigate the numerical calculation of quantum transport of electrons in spherical centered defect InGaAs/AlGaAs quantum dot (SCDQD). The simulation is based on the imaginary time...
