Book TWO DOMAIN HEAT TRANSFER STUDIES USING A COUPLED FINITE DIFFERENCE AND BOUNDARY ELEMENT PROGRAMS

Download or read book TWO DOMAIN HEAT TRANSFER STUDIES USING A COUPLED FINITE DIFFERENCE AND BOUNDARY ELEMENT PROGRAMS written by Serap Dikmenli and published by Serap Dikmenli. This book was released on 1988-05-05 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An iterative coupling of a finite-difference boundary layer code "STAN5"[1] and a boundary element code "BEASY”[2] have been used to study two dimensional convective-conductive problems. The coupling method essentially leaves undisturbed the codes of these programs and uses their custom features in their applicable domains. The boundary layer program is used in the convective domain, while "BEASY” is used in the solid domain. Compatibility conditions are established between these domain solutions and an iterative scheme is used until these conditions are mutually satisfied. The indirect communication of compatibility (boundary) criteria between these programs was achieved by two editor/data-transferor like programs. Combined entire package controlled by systems dependent communication program. Numerical scheme used by boundary layer program incorporates a stepwise method. The method presents certain advantages, which makes it suitable for coupling with any other domain method such as the boundary element method. A number of applications have been studied to verify the results for each program as well as the coupling scheme. These include flows over Cylinder inclining surfaces, airfoil and wedge shaped models with internal regions subjected to convective or isothermal environments. The results of the conjugate coupling showed the following: 1) Total job-time reduction due to high convergence rate, and time required for the model preparation. 2) A data storage reduction. 3) A substantial collection of system characteristics. The result of iterative coupling scheme is a useful engineering tool that can be used to study conjugate system consisting of boundary layer and conductive domains of arbitrary shapes.

Chapter 12 of the second edition is enlarged to contain finite element models of viscoelastic beams. In general, all of the chapters of the second edition contain additional explanations, detailed example problems, and additional exercise problems. Although all of the progr

Book An Assessment of Least Squares Finite Element Models with Applications to Problems in Heat Transfer and Solid Mechanics

Download or read book An Assessment of Least Squares Finite Element Models with Applications to Problems in Heat Transfer and Solid Mechanics written by Brittan Sheldon Pratt and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research is performed to assess the viability of applying the least squares model to one-dimensional heat transfer and Euler-Bernoulli Beam Theory problems. Least squares models were developed for both the full and mixed forms of the governing one-dimensional heat transfer equation along weak form Galerkin models. Both least squares and weak form Galerkin models were developed for the first order and second order versions of the Euler-Bernoulli beams. Several numerical examples were presented for the heat transfer and Euler- Bernoulli beam theory. The examples for heat transfer included: a differential equation having the same form as the governing equation, heat transfer in a fin, heat transfer in a bar and axisymmetric heat transfer in a long cylinder. These problems were solved using both least squares models, and the full form weak form Galerkin model. With all four examples the weak form Galerkin model and the full form least squares model produced accurate results for the primary variables. To obtain accurate results with the mixed form least squares model it is necessary to use at least a quadratic polynominal. The least squares models with the appropriate approximation functions yielde more accurate results for the secondary variables than the weak form Galerkin. The examples presented for the beam problem include: a cantilever beam with linearly varying distributed load along the beam and a point load at the end, a simply supported beam with a point load in the middle, and a beam fixed on both ends with a distributed load varying cubically. The first two examples were solved using the least squares model based on the second order equation and a weak form Galerkin model based on the full form of the equation. The third problem was solved with the least squares model based on the second order equation. Both the least squares model and the Galerkin model calculated accurate results for the primary variables, while the least squares model was more accurate on the secondary variables. In general, the least-squares finite element models yield more acurate results for gradients of the solution than the traditional weak form Galkerkin finite element models. Extension of the present assessment to multi-dimensional problems and nonlinear provelms is awaiting attention.

Book TEXTBOOK OF FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

Download or read book TEXTBOOK OF FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS written by P. SESHU and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed for a one-semester course in Finite Element Method, this compact and well-organized text presents FEM as a tool to find approximate solutions to differential equations. This provides the student a better perspective on the technique and its wide range of applications. This approach reflects the current trend as the present-day applications range from structures to biomechanics to electromagnetics, unlike in conventional texts that view FEM primarily as an extension of matrix methods of structural analysis. After an introduction and a review of mathematical preliminaries, the book gives a detailed discussion on FEM as a technique for solving differential equations and variational formulation of FEM. This is followed by a lucid presentation of one-dimensional and two-dimensional finite elements and finite element formulation for dynamics. The book concludes with some case studies that focus on industrial problems and Appendices that include mini-project topics based on near-real-life problems. Postgraduate/Senior undergraduate students of civil, mechanical and aeronautical engineering will find this text extremely useful; it will also appeal to the practising engineers and the teaching community.
