The magnetohydodynamic (MHD) kinematics model describes the electromagnetic behavior of an electrically conducting fluid when its hydrodynamic properties are assumed to be known. In particular, the MHD kinematics equations can be used to simulate the magnetic field induced by a given velocity field. While prescribing the velocity field leads to a simpler model than the fully coupled MHD system,...

The equation (1) is solved by the finite element method. We use four corner eight nodes isoparametric elements. Algebraic system of equations for node field values is produced by Galerkin method. To find several modes simultaneously in arbitrary spectrum domain, we use subspace iteration method with frequency shift. If the permittivity and permeability of lossy filling depend on frequency, the ...

Using an inverse analysis technique, the heat transfer coefficient on the die-workpiece contact surface of a hot stamping process was evaluated as a power law function of contact pressure. This evaluation was to determine whether the heat transfer coefficient on the contact surface could be used for finite element analysis of the entire hot stamping process. By comparing results of the finite e...

In this paper, we discuss some applications of multiscale finite element methods to two-phase immiscible flow simulations in heterogeneous porous media. We discuss some extensions of multiscale finite element methods which take into account some limited global information. These methods are well suited for channelized porous media, where the long-range effects are important. This is typical for...

This paper presents a brief review of recent developments on quadratic inverse eigenvalue problem with applications to active vibration control and finite element model updating.

This paper describes a three-dimensional parallel solution scheme for inverse dynamics of link mechanisms, which has already been proposed for the two-dimensional case and applied in several inplane motions. In this theory, the entire system is subdivided into finite elements and evaluated as a continuum. A single-link structure of a pin joint and a rigid bar is expressed using the Shifted Inte...

Successful employment of numerical techniques for the forward and inverse electrocardiographic (ECG) problems requires the ability to both quantify and minimize approximation errors introduced as part of the discretization process. Conventional finite element discretization and refinement strategies effective for the forward problem may become inappropriate for the inverse problem because of it...

We derive trace inverse inequalities for hp-finite elements. Utilizing orthogonal polynomials, we show how to derive explicit expressions for the constants when considering triangular and tetrahedral elements. We also discuss how to generalize this technique to the general d-simplex.

Parallel normalized preconditioned conjugate gradient type methods based on normalized approximate finite element inverse matrix techniques are investigated for the efficient solution of sparse linear systems. Application of the proposed methods on a three dimensional boundary value problems is discussed and numerical results are given. The parallel implementation of the normalized precondition...
