Abstract:
In this study, the Element-Free Galerkin (EFG) method has been used for the analysis of plane stress problems. A computer program has been developed by using FORTRAN language. The moving least squares (MLS) approximation has been used in generating shape functions. The results obtained by the EFG method have been compared with analytical solution and the numerical results obtained by MSC. Patran/Nastran. The comparisons show that the mesh free method gives more accurate results than the finite element approximation with less computational effort.

Abstract:
In the process of engineering design of structural shapes, the flat plate analysis results can be generalized to predict behaviors of complete structural shapes. In this case, the purpose of this project is to analyze a thin flat plate under conductive heat transfer and to simulate the temperature distribution, thermal stresses, total displacements, and buckling deformations. The current approach in these cases has been using the Finite Element Method (FEM), whose basis is the construction of a conforming mesh. In contrast, this project uses the mesh-free Scan Solve Method. This method elimina

Abstract:
With the gain in momentum of the structural health monitoring field in the last two decades, the popularity of ultrasonic nondestructive testing (NDT) has grown.

A computer simulation of these tests can be utilized as a guide during actual evaluations or as a tool to train technicians. Presented in this dissertation is the development of models which simulate such acoustic phenomena as may arise in NDT. These models were develop

Abstract:
The development of adaptive mesh refinement capabilities in the field of computational fluid dynamics is an essential tool for enabling the simulation of larger and more complex physical problems. While such techniques have been known for a long time, most simulations do not make use of them because of the lack of a robust implementation. In this work, we present recent progresses that have been made to develop adaptive mesh refinement features in Nek5000, a code based on the spectral element method.

The dynamics of rigid body motion are dependent on the inertial properties of the body - that is, the mass and moment of inertia. For complex systems, it may be necessary to derive these results empirically. Such is the case for manual wheelchairs, which can be modeled as a rigid body frame connected to four wheels. While 3D modeling software is capable of estimating inertial parameters, modeling inaccuracies and ill-defined material properties may introduce significant errors in this estimation technique and necessitate experimental measurements.

Abstract:
The application of polynomial reproducing methods has been explored in the context of linear and non linear problems. Of specific interest is the application of a recently developed reproducing scheme, referred to as the error reproducing kernel method (ERKM), which uses non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) to construct the basis functions, an aspect that potentially helps bring in locall support, convex approximation and variation diminishing properties in the functional approximation. Polynomial reproducing methods have been applied to solve problems coming under the class of a simplified

Abstract:
This dissertation applies mesh free computational methods to investigate the rheological impact of arbitrarily shaped nanoparticle additives in shearing interfaces. Specifically, Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics is used for its flexibility in modeling moving fluid-structure interfaces, the ability to model non-Newtonian fluids, as well as having the capability to add any additional physics deemed appropriate. With this modeling technique, a sufficient theory for the non-Einstein like rheological modification seen with certain nanoparticle additives is achieved based on surface tension effects b

Singh, Manish Kumar. "Implicit Gradient Reconstruction for Unstructured Mesh Finite Volume Method." Thesis, 2022. https://etd.iisc.ac.in/handle/2005/5934.

Full text
Abstract:
In the present work, an Implicit Gradient Reconstruction (IGR) method is proposed in the context of Finite Volume Methodology (FVM). There are three computationally intensive steps involved in a typical finite volume framework for a spatially second-order accurate upwind scheme. These are solution reconstruction, solution limiting and flux finding. Solution re- construction involves determination of gradients while solution limiting requires comparison of double precision numbers. Further, computation of gradient and solution limiting is cell based procedure while flux finding is edge/fa

Abstract:
abstract: Current trends in the Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) involve the integration of legacy mesh-based finite element software with newer solid-modeling kernels or full CAD systems in order to simplify laborious or highly specialized tasks in engineering analysis. In particular, mesh generation is becoming increasingly automated. In addition, emphasis is increasingly placed on full assembly (multi-part) models, which in turn necessitates an automated approach to contact analysis. This task is challenging due to increases in algebraic system size, as well as increases in the number of

Full text
Abstract:
Mesh-free methods are becoming popular in the maritime engineering fields for their ability to handle non-benign fluid flows. Predictions of ship motions made using mesh-free methods need to be validated for benign conditions, such as regular waves, before progressing to nonbenign conditions. This thesis aims to validate the response of a ship in regular waves by the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) mesh-free method. Specifically, the SPH technique uses a set of interpolation points, designated SPH particles, located at nodes that track the centre of discrete fluid volumes with time

Abstract:
In the past two decades, meshless methods have been successfully implemented to solve numerous problems in engineering and science. The main characteristic of these methods is that the approximation functions do not require an established node connectivity (mesh) as is the case with Finite Element Methods (FEM). This new class of methods has shown great potential in the situations where the mesh becomes a critical issue. For instance, in the presence of large deformations, sometimes it is necessary to rede ne the mesh during simulation. Remeshing represents additional computational cos

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>機械工程學系<br>105<br>A numerical procedure based on the virtual crack closure technique (VCCT) is developed to post-process finite element solutions for calculating the fracture mechanics parameters including the strain energy release rate and the stress intensity factors. A basic requirement in applying the VCCT is the satisfaction of the self-similar growth assumption. For the cases of the three-dimensional problem, the requirement is typically met by restricting the elements in front of and behind the crack tip to be rectangular and of the same size, for which the implementation

Abstract:
Many engineering devices have dynamic components and hence, their computational models are no longer fixed in space and time. In these cases, dynamic mesh method is often applied to analyze their motion or unsteady fluid dynamics around/inside them. This study deals with the engineering application of CFD particularly using dynamic mesh methods to simulate firstly the compressible transient flow in a needle-less liquid jet injector for biomedical application and secondly, the performance of a diaphragm-less shock tube design for investigation of high-speed compressible gas dynamics.
