In this research, a control feedback system is used to study the free vibration response of rectangular plate made of magnetostrictive material (MsM) for the first time. A new trigonometric higher order shear deformation plate theory are utilized and the results of them are compared with two theories in order to clarify their accuracy and errors. Pasternak foundation is selected to modelling of...

This paper presents the development of a precorrectedFFT accelerated linear elastic Boundary Element Method solver that can be coupled with existing BEM solvers for electrostatic and Stokes Flow problems. The resulting coupled solvers are mesh consistent—requiring a single mesh for all domains. A number of test cases are evaluated with the linear elastic solver, as well as a coupled electrostat...

In recent years pavement maintenance planning has become a main task among highway agencies. In order to determine the structural capacity of a flexible pavement, non-destructive testing equipment is used. Many countries use the falling weight deflectometer (FWD). It is possible to obtain deflection data and backcalculate the pavements’ mechanical properties. However, the method used affects th...

A method suitable for computing fluid flow in the presence of moving boundaries is presented. In particular, the interaction of fluid with elastic walls is considered. The flow solver was developed based on artificial compressibility concept. The discrretization is done on unstructured tetrahedral meshes. A model of fluid interaction with elastic boundaries including boundary and mesh deformati...

The problem of mesh matching is addressed in this work. For a given n-sided planar region bounded by one loop of n polylines we are selecting optimal quadrilateral mesh from existing catalogue of meshes. The formulation of matching between planar shape and quadrilateral mesh from the catalogue is based on the problem of finding longest common subsequence (LCS). Theoretical foundation of mesh ma...
