finite and boundary element methods have been used by many authors to solve mathematicalphysics problems. however, the coupling of these two methods happens to be more efficient as it combinestheir merits. in this paper, the mathematical analysis of the coupling of finite and boundary element methodsfor the helmholtz equation is presented.

Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed using traditional finite element interpolations (i.e., Hermite cubic or equi-spaced Lagrange functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, total rotation φ and/or shear strain γxz, or in the integral form u...

there are many parameters that affect the sheet hydroforming process such as fluid pressure, material properties, interfacial friction between blank and tool surfaces, etc. in this paper, a fem-based taguchi method is used to determine the effects of forming parameters on the quality of part formability in the process of hydrodynamic deep drawing assisted by radial pressure. four important form...

statement of problem: currently there are three recognized theories about the diameter of prepared dowel space in endodontically treated teeth. diameter of the dowel is commonly contributed to the root fracture. purpose: this study used a 3 dimensional (3d) finite element method to predict stress distribution in endodontically treated central maxillary tooth with cast post and core with various...

stability of foundations near slopes is one of the important and complicated problems in geotechnical engineering, which has been investigated by various methods such as limit equilibrium, limit analysis, slip-line, finite element and discrete element. the complexity of this problem is resulted from the combination of two probable failures: foundation failure and overall slope failure. the curr...

loading conditions and complex geometry have led the cylinder heads to become the most challenging parts of diesel engines. one of the most important durability problems in diesel engines is due to the cracks valves bridge area. the purpose of this study is a thermo-mechanical analysis of cylinder heads of diesel engines using a two-layer viscoplasticity model. in this article, mechanical prope...

permanent magnet synchronous motors are efficient motors, which have widespread applications in electric industry due to their noticeable features. one of the interesting applications of such motors is in underwater vehicles. in these cases, reaching to minimum volume and high torque of the motor are the major concern. design optimization can enhance their merits considerably, thus reduce volum...
