    Notes: We model the forming process as a fluid flow. A finite element program, FIDAP, which analyses flow problems, was used to calculate velocity and strain rates at points throughout the material during the deformation process. This allows predictions to be made on the shape and quality of the resulting part. The stress-strain relation we used models the plastic flow of metals (Bingham fluids). The FEM approximation of such a fluid is tested by comparing results for a simple analytical example. In forming processes provision must be made for friction between dye and workpiece, and the program was modified accordingly. Two classical ring forming simulations are compared to published results.

    Notes: The Riccati equation arises in various problems, particularly in practical engineering problems. It is required to solve the resulting Riccati algebraic matrix equation instead of solving the time-invariant optimal control problem in one of its standard forms. In this paper an unconstrained minimization technique referred to as the Davidon-Fletcher-Powell (DFP) method is used in solving such an equation by minimizing its norm. The positive-definite solution of the equation is also obtained, which is desirable in most engineering problems.

    Notes: A de model for short-channel MOSFETs is presented in this paper. Several second-order effects associated with small-geometry MOSFETs such as mobility degradation, carrier velocity saturation and channel length modulation are included in the model. The analysis emphasizes the modeling of the output conductance and the transconductance which are important in analogue circuit simulation. The theoretical predictions of the model are in good agreement with the experimental data available in the literature.

    Notes: A study of linear monochromatic wave propagation is presented, based on a theory of potentials. The usual Berkhoff equation has been extended by the addition of partially pervious solid boundary effects and the bed friction.The problem has been solved by a hybrid finite element method including the effect of singular local elements such as the end of breakwaters or wharfs. This numerical method confirms the interest in quadratic Lagrangian finite elements.The comparisons with analytical solutions and existing numerical results show the validity of the method. Some original examples also prove the good performance of the proposed computation method.As an example, the study of the erosion of the beach of Calvi Bay in Corsica, France is presented. The phenomenon had started already in 1960, but the problem began to be very severe four years ago, after the implementation of a new harbour in 1982 and buildings, hotels, restaurants, and a main sewer on the beach. To consider the impact of these constructions and other factors like waves, currents and geomorphological aspects, the studies were divided into four parts: sedimentological, currents, wave propagation and geomorphological.This paper will describe the results of a complete two years study on the site, from February 1986 to December 1987.Findings show that the erosion process is due to the rise of the relative sea level with, as a catalyst, tourist behaviour and the implementation of the new constructions.

    Notes: Application of a weak form of the Kirchhoff constraints in the formulation of triangular assumed shear strain C0 plate element is described. It is shown that, compared to a similar formulation of the quadrilateral elements, formulation of the triangles requires some additional considerations which lead to additional terms in the energy expression. With those terms performance of the assumed shear strain triangular elements is comparable to that of the quadrilateral elements.

    Notes: An important limiting factor in the accurate modelling of fluid flow problems is the numerical representation of the convection terms in the Navier-Stokes equations. This paper reviews several approaches used to approximate the convection terms and reduce the so-called false-diffusion errors, within the context of finite-difference and finite-volume methods. Numerical errors are characterized as those due to discretization of the differential terms and those due to the influence of the multidimensional nature of the flow. Necessary criteria are identified which a numerical scheme must satisfy, if it is to be a candidate, at least in terms of accuracy and practicality, for the successful solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. One of the criteria is the need of the scheme to account explicitly for the multidimensionality of the flow in the transport of scalar variables. All schemes except Raithby's SKEW approximation are deficient in this respect. However, the SKEW scheme does not satisfy some of the other criteria and does not always perform well. A new scheme called CUPID (Corner UPwInDing), which is based on the ideas of the SKEW scheme, yet obeys more of the criteria identified above, is described. The scheme is tested on a series of discriminating test problems which, the authors contend, demonstrate its potential for practical use in solving accurately the Navier-Stokes equations.

    Notes: The introduction of composite materials is having a profound effect on the design process. Because these materials permit the designer to tailor material properties to improve structural, aerodynamic and acoustic performance, they require a more integrated multidisciplinary design process. Because of the complexity of the design process numerical optimization methods are required.The present paper is focused on a major difficulty associated with the multidisciplinary design optimization process - its enormous computational cost. We consider two approaches for reducing this computational burden: (i)development of efficient methods for cross-sensitivity calculation using perturbation methods; and (ii) the use of approximate numerical optimization procedures. Our efforts are concentrated upon combined aerodynamic-structural optimization. Results are presented for the integrated design of a sailplane wing. The impact of our computational procedures on the computational costs of integrated designs is discussed.

    Notes: In a previous publication1 it was suggested that the most fruitful area for the deployment of ‘complicated’ soil models - i.e. those involving more than, say, 6 parameters - lay in analyses of undrained and partially drained problems. The present paper extends previous drained and undrained analyses to the partially drained state, for two rather simple boundary value problems.

    Notes: The established finite difference equations to estimate one-dimensional transient heat flow in solids are the ‘classical’ form (explicit), and the Crank-Nicolson and ‘pure-implicit’ forms (both implicit). They are all based on finite difference approximation to the Fourier continuity equation. To these are now added three more explicit forms: exponential linear, exponential inverse cosine and polynomial, which are based on exact solutions to the Fourier equation. The performance of each of the six equations is tested against the exact results of a well known step excitations problem (the Groeber model). The tests consist of examining (i) finite difference errors arising from a single implementation of each form at different stages in the transient cooling process, (ii) the errors that accumulate during part or all of the cooling process (both as regards any bias that is introduced, and also a measure of variance) and (iii) the run times in executing the various forms. The nondimensional time step r was treated as the independent variable, and can be made arbitrarily large, by use of a simple time-division procedure (otherwise r 〈 ½ for use with the classical form). It is shown that having regard to both error and run time, the polynomial form appears to be the most efficient estimator.
