Method of relaxed streamline upwinding for hyperbolic conservation laws

In this work a new finite element based Method of Relaxed Streamline Upwinding is proposed to solve hyperbolic conservation laws. Formulation of the proposed scheme is based on relaxation system which replaces hyperbolic conservation laws by semi-linear system with stiff source term also called as relaxation term. The advantage of the semi-linear system is that the nonlinearity in the convection term is pushed towards the source term on right hand side which can be handled with ease. Six symmetric discrete velocity models are introduced in two dimensions which symmetrically spread foot of the characteristics in all four quadrants thereby taking information symmetrically from all directions. Proposed scheme gives exact diffusion vectors which are very simple. Moreover, the formulation is easily extendable from scalar to vector conservation laws. Various test cases are solved for Burgers equation (with convex and non-convex flux functions), Euler equations and shallow water equations in one and two dimensions which demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of the proposed scheme. New test cases are proposed for Burgers equation, Euler and shallow water equations. Exact solution is given for two-dimensional Burgers test case which involves normal discontinuity and series of oblique discontinuities. Error analysis of the proposed scheme shows optimal convergence rate. Moreover, spectral stability analysis gives implicit expression of critical time step.

Measurement of the M-integral for a Hole in an Aluminum Plate or Strip

A method using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is proposed to measure the M-integral in an elastic rectangular plate and elastic–plastic strip made of LY12 Aluminum where a hole is located at center as a defect. The path-independence property of the M-integral is verified by selecting a few of closed contours to evaluate the M-integral. It is found that the measured values of the M-integral are path-independent when the closed contours are far from the nonlinear plastic zone. In contrast, large deviations occur in determining the M-integral among different integral contours when the contours pass through the plastic zone. The present study demonstrates that DIC method used by the ARAMIS 4 M instrument and the proposed smoothing technique for evaluating the measured displacements do provide the effective tools to measure the M-integral in describing the local damage of elastic and elastic–plastic materials. This technique could be extended to measure the M-integral for other complicated damage, e.g., multiple defects with different shapes in a local region.

A novel Volume-Compensated Particle method for 2D elasticity and plasticity analysis

A novel Volume-Compensated Particle model (VCPM) is proposed for the modeling of deformation and fracture in solids. In this proposed method, two potentials are introduced to model the interactions between material particles, i.e., a local pair-wise potential and a non-local multi-body potential. The local pair-wise potential is utilized to account for the constitutive relationship within the connecting bonds between particles while the non-local multi-body potential is employed for considering the volumetric effects under general mechanical loadings. The potential coefficients are determined by matching the potential energy stored in a discrete unit cell to the strain energy at the classical continuum level. A volume conservation scheme is proposed to model the plastic deformation. The validity of the proposed model is tested against the classical elasticity and elasto-plasticity benchmarks before its application to fracture problems. Several conclusions are drawn based on the proposed study.     

The Runge–Kutta control volume discontinuous finite element method for systems of hyperbolic conservation laws

In this paper, a new high‐order and high‐resolution method called the Runge–Kutta control volume discontinuous finite element method (RKCVDFEM) was proposed to solve 1D and 2D systems of hyperbolic conservation laws. Its main advantage lies in the local conservation, and it is simpler than the Runge–Kutta discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (RKDGM). The theoretical analysis showed that the RKCVDFEM has formally an optimal convergence order for 1D systems. Based on logically rectangular grids of irregular quadrilaterals, a scheme for 2D systems was constructed. Some classical problems were simulated and the validity of the method was presented.

A coupled immersed boundary‐lattice Boltzmann method with smoothed point interpolation method for fluid‐structure interaction problems

The immersed boundary‐lattice Boltzmann method has been verified to be an effective tool for fluid‐structure interaction simulation associated with thin and flexible bodies. The newly developed smoothed point interpolation method (S‐PIM) can handle the largely deformable solids owing to its softened model stiffness and insensitivity to mesh distortion. In this work, a novel coupled method has been proposed by combining the immersed boundary‐lattice Boltzmann method with the S‐PIM for fluid‐structure interaction problems with large‐displacement solids. The proposed method preserves the simplicity of the lattice Boltzmann method for fluid solvers, utilizes the S‐PIM to establish the realistic constitutive laws for nonlinear solids, and avoids mesh regeneration based on the frame of the immersed boundary method. Both two‐ and three‐dimensional numerical examples have been carried out to validate the accuracy, convergence, and stability of the proposed method in consideration of comparative results with referenced solutions.     

Time-asymptotic stability of non-newtonian fluid or plastic solid

We consider adiabatic shearing of solids exhibiting strain rate sensitivity and thermal softening or non-Newtonian liquids with temperature dependent viscosity. The processes are caused by a steady boundary force. We prove that there exists a unique solution and, as the time tends to ∞, the processes converge to the shearing under constant shear stress. The proof is based on a priori estimates, which are obtained with the help of identities for solutions of the system of conservation laws and constitutive relation describing the processes. The result idicates that, as expected, the viscosity or thermal diffusion play a stabilizing role.     

A parallel monolithic algorithm for the numerical simulation of large‐scale fluid structure interaction problems

A novel parallel monolithic algorithm has been developed for the numerical simulation of large‐scale fluid structure interaction problems. The governing incompressible Navier–Stokes equations for the fluid domain are discretized using the arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian formulation‐based side‐centered unstructured finite volume method. The deformation of the solid domain is governed by the constitutive laws for the nonlinear Saint Venant–Kirchhoff material, and the classical Galerkin finite element method is used to discretize the governing equations in a Lagrangian frame. A special attention is given to construct an algorithm with exact total fluid volume conservation while obeying both the global and the local discrete geometric conservation law. The resulting large‐scale algebraic nonlinear equations are multiplied with an upper triangular right preconditioner that results in a scaled discrete Laplacian instead of a zero block in the original system. Then, a one‐level restricted additive Schwarz preconditioner with a block‐incomplete factorization within each partitioned sub‐domains is utilized for the modified system. The accuracy and performance of the proposed algorithm are verified for the several benchmark problems including a pressure pulse in a flexible circular tube, a flag interacting with an incompressible viscous flow, and so on.

An energy stable monolithic Eulerian fluid‐structure finite element method

When written in an Eulerian frame, the conservation laws of continuum mechanics are similar for fluids and solids leading to a single set of variables for a monolithic formulation. Such formulations are well adapted to large displacement fluid‐structure configurations, but stability is a challenging problem because of moving geometries. In this article, the method is presented; time implicit discretizations are proposed with iterative algorithms well posed at each step, at least for small displacements; stability is discussed for an implicit in time finite element method in space by showing that energy decreases with time. The key numerical ingredient is the Characterics‐Galerkin method coupled with a powerful mesh generator. A numerical section discusses implementation issues and presents a few simple tests. It is also shown that contacts are easily handled by extending the method to variational inequalities. This paper deals only with incompressible neo‐Hookean Mooney‐Rivlin hyperelastic material in 2 dimensions in a Newtonian fluid, but the method is not limited to these; compressible and 3D cases will be presented later.     

AN IMPROVED MODAL ANALYSIS FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL PROBLEMS USING FACE-BASED SMOOTHED FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

In this work, we further extended the face-based smoothed finite element method (FS-FEM) for modal analysis of three-dimensional solids using four-node tetrahedron elements. The FS-FEM is formulated based on the smoothed Galerkin weak form which employs smoothed strains obtained using the gradient smoothing operation on face-based smoothing domains. This strain smoothing operation can provide softening effect to the system stiffness and make the FS-FEM provide more accurate eigenfrequency prediction than the FEM does. Numerical studies have verified this attractive property of FS-FEM as well as its ability and effectiveness on providing reliable eigenfrequency and eigenmode prediction in practical engineering application.
