A novel approach, radial basis function (RBF) mixed with domain decomposition method (DDM) based on Galerkin finite element method (FEM) has been introduced in our previous work. The proposed method divides the computational domain into a series of rectangular sub-domains, and each sub-domain is taken as a separate calculation area to get the solution expression and shape function by using the ...

This paper presents a novel hybrid FEM-based approach for nonlinear buckling analysis of truss with initial length imperfection. The contribution deals establishing two types finite element (perfection and imperfection element) considering large displacement based on formulation mixed formulation. Therefore, the global equation system is developed by assembling perfection elements. incremental-...

Polygonal meshes are especially suited for the discretization of boundary value problems in adaptive mesh refinement strategies. Such meshes are very flexible and incorporate hanging nodes naturally. But only a few approaches are available that handle polygonal discretizations in this context. The BEM-based Finite Element Method (FEM) and a residual based error estimate are reviewed in the pres...

In many organisms, female and male meiosis display extensive sexual dimorphism in the temporal meiotic program, the number and location of recombination events, sex chromosome segregation, and checkpoint function. We show here that both meiotic prophase timing and germ-line apoptosis, one output of checkpoint signaling, are dictated by the sex of the germ line (oogenesis vs. spermatogenesis) in...

A dedicated software package that allows simulation of tooth movement can lead to shortening of the treatment program in orthodontics. A first step in the development of this software is the modelling of the movement of a single tooth. Forces applied to the crown of the tooth are transmitted to the alveolar bone through the periodontal ligament, stretching, and compressing the ligament, eventua...

Stress is a proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint model was analyzed by the two-dimensional and three-dimensional finite element methods (FEM) to study the onset mechanisms of the middle phalangeal base fracture. The structural shapes were obtained from sagittally sectioned specimens of the PIP joint for making FEM models. In those models, four different material properties were given correspond...
