A coupled finite element (FE) method and meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method for analyzing two-dimensional potential problems is presented in this paper. The analysis domain is subdivided into two regions, a finite element (FE) region and a meshless (MM) region. A single weighted residual form is written for the entire domain. Independent trial and test functions are assumed in the FE ...

In this paper, the direct differentiation method DDM for finite-element FE response sensitivity analysis is extended to linear and nonlinear FE models with multi-point constraints MPCs . The analytical developments are provided for three different constraint handling methods, namely: 1 the transformation equation method; 2 the Lagrange multiplier method; and 3 the penalty function method. Two n...

The crystal structure and magnetic properties of Fe/AI multilayered films prepared using the ion beam sputtering method have been investigated. The crystallite orientation and magnetism of Fe layers were found to depend significantly on A1 layer thickness. This resutt may be caused by the crystallographic interaction between Fe and A1 layers.

in this paper, labo3 perovskite type catalyst formulations were prepared by sol-gel auto combustion method using citric acid as the fuel. activity of catalysts was tested in catalytic oxidation of toluene as a model of volatile organic compounds. lacoo3 perovskite formulation showed the highest activity among labo3 (fe, mn and co) perovskite catalysts. so, lacoo3 perovskite based catalyst was s...

The synthesis and analytical applications of the new heterocyclic ligand are described. The complexation reaction of the ligand with some cations was studied in aqueous methanol at room temperature using the spectrophotometric method. Results revealed that only the absorption spectra of the Fe (III)–ligand complex show a high redshift of the absorption maximum in the aqueous methanol soluti...

Nickel-iron oxides/hydroxides are among the most active electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction. In an effort to gain insight into the role of Fe in these catalysts, we have performed operando Mössbauer spectroscopic studies of a 3:1 Ni:Fe layered hydroxide and a hydrous Fe oxide electrocatalyst. The catalysts were prepared by a hydrothermal precipitation method that enabled catalyst...
