This paper poses two magnetostatic problems in cylindrical coordinates with different permeabilities for each region. In the first problem the boundary condition of the second kind is used while in the second one, the boundary condition of the third kind is utilized. These problems are solved using the finite element and finite difference methods. In second problem, the results of the finite di...

The analysis of adhesively bonded joints started in 1938 with the closed-form model of Volkersen. The equilibrium equation of a single lap joint led to a simple governing differential equation with a simple algebraic equation. However, if there is yielding of the adhesive and/or the adherends and substantial peeling is present, a more complex model is necessary. The more complete is an analysis...

Contact problems are among the most difficult issues in mathematics and of crucial practical importance engineering applications. This paper presents a scaled boundary finite-element method with B-differentiable equations for 3D frictional contact small deformation elastostatics. Only boundaries system discretized into surface elements by method. The dimension is reduced one. conditions formula...

The paper presents main results of the investigation of the coupled BEM and FEM applied to a nonlinear generally nonmonotone exterior boundary value problem. The problem consists of a nonlinear diier-ential equation considered in an annular bounded domain and the Laplace equation outside. These equations are equipped with boundary and transmission conditions. The problem is reformulated in a we...

In order to overcome the difficulties of low computational efficiency and high memory requirement in the conventional boundary element method for solving large-scale potential problems, a fast multipole boundary element method for the problems of Laplace equation is presented. through the multipole expansion and local expansion for the basic solution of the kernel function of the Laplace equati...

We analyze adaptive mesh-refining algorithms in the frame of boundary element methods (BEM) and the coupling of finite elements and boundary elements (FEM-BEM). Adaptivity is driven by the two-level error estimator proposed by Ernst P. Stephan, Norbert Heuer, and coworkers in the frame of BEM and FEM-BEM or by the residual error estimator introduced by Birgit Faermann for BEM for weakly-singula...
