Nodeless variable finite element method for heat transfer analysis by means of flux-based formulation and mesh adaptation

Based on flux-based formulation, a nodeless variable element method is developed to analyze two-dimensional steady-state and transient heat transfer problems. The nodeless variable element employs quadratic interpolation functions to provide higher solution accuracy without necessity to actually generate additional nodes. The flux-based formulation is applied to reduce the complexity in deriving the finite element equations as compared to the conventional finite element method. The solution accuracy is further improved by implementing an adaptive meshing technique to generate finite element mesh that can adapt and move along corresponding to the solution behavior. The technique generates small elements in the regions of steep solution gradients to provide accurate solution, and meanwhile it generates larger elements in the other regions where the solution gradients are slight to reduce the computational time and the computer memory. The effectiveness of the combined procedure is demonstrated by heat transfer problems that have exact solutions. These problems are: (a) a steady-state heat conduction analysis in a square plate subjected to a highly localized surface heating, and (b) a transient heat conduction analysis in a long plate subjected to a moving heat source. The English text was polished by Yunming Chen.     

Analytical solution for bending problem of moderately thick composite annular sector plates with general boundary conditions and loadings using multi-term extended Kantorovich method

An analytical solution for bending of composite sector plates is presented using multi-term extended Kantorovich method (MTEKM). The governing equations are derived using the displacement field of the first-order shear deformation theory and converted into two sets of coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) utilizing MTEKM. Next, an analytical iterative procedure is presented for solving the derived sets of ODEs based on state-space method. Numerous examples are studied by the present method, and as special cases, solid sector and rectangular plates are also investigated. Next, the results obtained by the present method are compared to those of finite element method and other results available in the literature. It is found that the present method has a high convergence rate as well as good accuracy in all cases.     

A 3D pyramid spline element

In this paper,a 13-node pyramid spline element is derived by using the tetrahedron volume coordinates and the B-net method,which achieves the second order completeness in Cartesian coordinates.Some appropriate examples were employed to evaluate the performance of the proposed element.The numerical results show that the spline element has much better performance compared with the isoparametric serendipity element Q20 and its degenerate pyramid element P13 especially when mesh is distorted,and it is comparable to the Lagrange element Q27.It has been demonstrated that the spline finite element method is an efficient tool for developing high accuracy elements.     

The two‐grid stabilization of equal‐order finite elements for the stokes equations

This work presents a two‐grid stabilized method of equal‐order finite elements for the Stokes problems. This method only offsets the discrete pressure space by the residual of pressure on two grids to circumvent the discrete Babu?ka–Brezzi condition. The method can be done locally in a two‐grid approach without stabilization parameter by projecting the pressure onto a finite element space based on coarse mesh. Also, it leads to a linear system with minimal additional cost in implement. Optimal error estimates are obtained. Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to show stability and accuracy properties of the method. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Application of the extended Kantorovich method to the bending of clamped cylindrical panels

Applicability and performance of the extended Kantorovich method (EKM) to obtain highly accurate approximate closed form solution for bending analysis of a cylindrical panel is studied. Fully clamped panel subjected to both uniform and non-uniform loadings is considered. Based on the Love–Kirchhoff first approximation for thin shallow cylindrical panels, the governing equations of the problem in terms of three displacement components include a system of two second order and one forth order partial differential equations. The governing PDE system is converted to a double set of ODE systems by assuming separable functions for displacements together with utilization of the extended Kantorovich method. The resulted ODE systems are solved iteratively. In each iteration, exact closed form solutions are presented for both ODE systems. Rapid convergence and high accuracy of the method is shown for various examples. Both displacement and stress predictions show close agreement with other analytical and finite element analysis.     

A comparative study of GLS finite elements with velocity and pressure equally interpolated for solving incompressible viscous flows

A comparative study of the bi‐linear and bi‐quadratic quadrilateral elements and the quadratic triangular element for solving incompressible viscous flows is presented. These elements make use of the stabilized finite element formulation of the Galerkin/least‐squares method to simulate the flows, with the pressure and velocity fields interpolated with equal orders. The tangent matrices are explicitly derived and the Newton–Raphson algorithm is employed to solve the resulting nonlinear equations. The numerical solutions of the classical lid‐driven cavity flow problem are obtained for Reynolds numbers between 1000 and 20 000 and the accuracy and converging rate of the different elements are compared. The influence on the numerical solution of the least square of incompressible condition is also studied. The numerical example shows that the quadratic triangular element exhibits a better compromise between accuracy and converging rate than the other two elements.

Solution of the connection problems between a finite holed plate and a stiffener by using the partitioning concept of the generalized variational method

In this paper a new finite element method is presented, in which complex functions are chosen to be the finite element model and the partitioning concept of the generalized variational method is utilized. The stress concentration factors for a finite holed plate welded by a stiffener are calculated and the analytical solutions in series form are obtained. From some computer trials it is demonstrated that the problem of displacement compatibility and continuity of tractions between the holed plate and the stiffener is successfully analysed by using this method. Since only three elements need to be formulated, relatively less storage is required than the usual finite element methods. Furthermore, the accuracy of solutions is improved and the computer time requirements are considerably reduced. Numerical results of stress concentration factors and stresses along the welded-line which may be referential to engineers are shown in tables.     

Nonconforming stabilized combined finite element method for Reissner-Mindlin plate

Based on combination of two variational principles, a nonconforming stabilized finite element method is presented for the Reissner-Mindlin plates. The method is convergent when the finite element space is energy-compatible. Error estimates are derived. In particular, three finite element spaces are applied in the computation. Numerical results show that the method is insensitive to the mesh distortion and has better performence than the MITC4 and DKQ methods. With properly chosen parameters, high accuracy can be obtained at coarse meshes.     

求解固体力学问题的强?弱耦合形式单元微分法

单元微分法是一种新型强形式有限单元法. 与弱形式算法相比, 该算法直接对控制方程进行离散, 不需要用到数值积分. 因此该算法有较简单的形式, 并且其在计算系数矩阵时具有极高的效率. 但作为一种强形式算法, 单元微分法往往需要较多网格或者更高阶单元才能达到满意的计算精度. 与此同时, 对于一些包含奇异点的模型, 如在多材料界面、间断边界条件、裂纹尖端等处, 传统单元微分法往往得不到较精确的计算结果. 为了克服这些缺点, 本文提出了将伽辽金有限元法与单元微分法相结合的强?弱耦合算法, 即整体模型采用单元微分法的同时, 在奇异点附近或某些关键部件采用有限元法. 该策略在保留单元微分法高效率与简洁形式等优点的同时, 确保了求解奇异问题的精度. 在处理大规模问题时, 针对关键部件采用有限元法, 其他部件采用单元微分法, 可以在得到较精确结果的同时, 极大提高整体计算效率. 在本文中, 给出了两个典型算例, 一个是具有切口的二维问题, 一个是复杂的三维发动机问题. 针对这两个问题, 分析了该耦合算法在求二维奇异问题和三维大规模问题时的精度与效率.
