    Notes: In this paper, the effects of selecting initial vectors on computation efficiency for a subspace iteration method are investigated. Four algorithms are used for selecting the initial vectors. First, arbitrary starting iteration vectors are chosen according to Bathe and Wilson's algorithm.1 In the other algorithms, the initial vectors are the retrieved eigenvectors from the Guyan and quadratic reduction methods. Improvement of the eigenvalue approximations of the subspace iteration method over reduction methods is presented. The computation effort is examined for the various algorithms used for initial iteration vectors.

    Notes: This paper presents an algorithm for dynamic Lagrangian computations for solids, in plane strain geometry, with variable nodal connectivity to allow for severe distortions. The nodes are somewhat analogous to flexible circular disks. When they move closer together than their equilibrium distance they generate compressive, repulsive forces. Conversely, when they move apart, they generate tensile, attractive forces. Material strength effects are also included. Because a node can only be affected by its ‘neighbour’ nodes, the approach has been designated the ‘NABOR’ approach. The key to this approach is that it is possible to have variable nodal connectivity - a node can acquire new neighbours, thus allowing all forms of distortion. The NABOR algorithm has been incorporated as an option into the explicit finite element code, EPIC-2. By using both the NABOR grid and the EPIC-2 finite element grid together, it is possible to perform Lagrangian computations for a wide range of problems.

    Notes: The successive quadratic programming (SQP) method is used with the finite element method (FEM) to solve frictionless geometrically non-linear contact problems involving large deformations of the elastica in the presence of flat rigid walls. To formulate the SQP problems, the potential energy (PE) is expanded in a Taylor series of second order in displacement increments about a configuration near a contact solution. The SQP problems consist of minimizing the Taylor expansion of the PE subject to the inequality constraints which represent contact. The quadratic programming (QP) method is made part of a Newton-Raphson (NR) search in which the QP corrections are made when a NR step does not satisfy the constraints. A revised simplex method developed by Rusin is used to solve the QP problems. The elastica is modelled with a total Lagrangian FEM developed by Fried. Solutions are obtained for the end loaded buckled elastica in point contact with a rigid wall and for a uniformly loaded elastica in regional contact with a rigid wall. The problems are also solved using a penalty method. The results obtained for the point contact problem are compared to an analytical solution. Calculations were made to obtain numerical information on maximum load step size and the number of inverse operations required for each load step. Cases in which the elastica stiffened substantially as a result of the initiation of contact are also discussed.

    Notes: This paper presents a three dimensional algorithm for dynamic Lagrangian computations for solids, with variable nodal connectivity to allow for severe distortions. The nodes are analogous to flexible spheres. When they move closer together than their equilibrium distance they generate compressive, repulsive forces. Conversely, when they move apart, they generate tensile attractive forces. Material strength effects are also included. Because a node can be affected only by its ‘neighbour’ nodes, the approach has been designated the ‘NABOR’ approach. The distinguishing feature of this technique is that it is possible to have variable connectivity. A node can acquire new neighbours, thus allowing all forms of distortion. The three dimensional NABOR algorithm has been incorporated as an option into the explicit finite element code, EPIC-3. By using both the NABOR grid and the traditional EPIC-3 finite element grid together, it is possible to perform Lagrangian computations for a wider range of problems.

    Notes: Traditionally glass process problems have been studied using laboratory and two-dimensional computer simulation techniques to quantify the melting, cooling and distribution of the molten glass and its quality. Although these approaches are adequate for a large number of simple glass systems, there are processes with asymmetric geometries and operating conditions which cannot neglect the effect of the third dimension. During the past few years, with the advent of commercial parallel processors and corresponding software, extensive progress has been made with the implementation of full three-dimensional glass flow simulations. Several development applications using FIDAP will be illustrated for electric melters, circular refiners and contoured forehearths. The discussion will cover the problem set-ups, mesh generation, solution strategy, post-processing and results. The advantages and developmental needs of FIDAP will be highlighted from the point of view of applied glass process engineering.

    Notes: A numerical analysis of the flow pattern in the inlet region of a circular pipe rotating steadily about an axis parallel to its own is presented. Both finite cell and finite element methods are used to analyse the problem and they give qualitatively similar results which show that a swirling fluid motion is induced in the pipe inlet region. The analyses show that the direction of swirl is opposite to that of the pipe rotation when viewed along the flow axis and that its magnitude depends on the speed of pipe rotation and throughflow Reynolds number. Neither numerical analysis predicts the marked upturn in friction factor (or pressure drop) which has been observed experimentally. However, a dependence on the pipe inlet boundary conditions is demonstrated.

    Notes: There are many two-dimensional computer codes available to compute wave propagation and plastic flow in solids. These codes are based on finite element or finite difference algorithms and are generally capable of analysing both axisymmetric and plane strain geometries. For the direct integration codes such as EPIC-2,1,2 it is possible to perform plane stress computations by making only minor modifications to the plane strain algorithm. This note describes these modifications and presents an example.
