ull-field analysis of optical data is routinely carried out for extracting crack tip parameters.'-6 Typically, surface or thickness average measurements are analyzed using overdeterministic least-squares procedure with two-dimensional plane stress asymptotic field equations as basis functions. Commonly used linear and nonlinear algorithms in such analyses have been reviewed by Sanford.' Experim...

Higher-order two-dimensional as well as low and higher-order threedimensional new Hybrid/Mixed (H/M) finite elements based on independently assumed displacement, and judiciously chosen strain fields, denoted by HMFEM-2, are developed here for applications in macro-mechanics. The idea of these new H/M finite elements is based on collocating the components of the independent strain field, with th...

A model of a tungsten chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system is developed to study the CVD system thermal dynamics and wafer temperature nonuniformities during a processing cycle. We develop a model for heat transfer in the system’s wafer/susceptor/guard ring assembly and discretize the modeling equation with a multiple-grid, nonlinear collocation technique. This weighted residual method is bas...

Stable and accurate surface-wave calculations present a long-standing numerical and analytical challenge to seismologists. In a layered medium, we can describe the surface-wave behavior with harmonic time dependence in terms of an eigenproblem where the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions define the surface-wave modes. Numerous studies have explored diverse numerical approaches to solve this eigenpr...
