This paper deals with the implementation of an efficient Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation for the three dimensional finite element modeling of mode I self-similar dynamic fracture process. Contrary to the remeshing technique, the presented algorithm can continuously advance the crack with the one mesh topology. The uncoupled approach is employed to treat the equations. So, each t...

Numerical modeling of electromagnetic nondestructive testing problems has become in the last few years common enough to be considered an integral part of the engineering design practice. In particular, eddy current modeling activity has been on the increase because of the benefits afforded by such models and their relative simplicity and availability. This is certainly true for two dimensional ...

Abstract. This paper deals with the formulation of a numerical scheme for solving compressible flow past moving bodies. We use the discontinuos Galerkin finite element method for the space semi-discretization and the Euler backward formula for the time discretization. Moreover, we use ALE mapping for the treatment of a time depended domain and the linearization of inviscid terms using the Vijay...

In this paper an overview of functionally graded materials and constitutive relations of electro elasticity for three-dimensional deformable  solids is presented, and  governing equations of the Bernoulli–Euler and Timoshenko beam theories which account for through-thickness power-law variation of a two-constituent material and piezoelectric layers are developed  using the  principle  of virtua...

a non-linear finite element model could be a useful tool in the development of a method of predicting soil pressure-sinkage behaviour, and can be used to investigate and analyze soil compaction. this study was undertaken to emphasize that the finite element method (fem) is a proper technique to model soil pressure-sinkage behaviour. for this purpose, the finite element method was used to model ...

In end milling, cutting forces and residual stresses need to be precisely predicted in order to improve the quality of the workpiece. Numerical simulation has however not been very successful using the Lagrangian formulation in Finite Element Analysis. This is partly because there is no satisfactory and accurate separation criterion used in the modelling procedure. The results are found to be h...
