    Notes: This study presents the finite element analysis for the transient heat transfer problems by introducing the Fourth-dimension concept. Time is treated as an additional dimension in the solution domain thereby Increasing the number of dimensions by one. For instance, a three-dimensional transient problem can be considered as a four-dimensional problem in the x, y, z, t domain and a two-dimensional transient problem can be considered as a three-dimensional steady-state problem in the x, y, t domain, respectively. The variational principle of the finite element method and the techniques existing for steady-state problems can be directly utilized. Numerical calculations were performed for heat conduction problems, laminar-turbulent convective heat transfer problems, and radiative heat transfer problems.

    Notes: Techniques for computing the sensitivity of temperatures to changes in design variables needed for designing thermal protection systems are considered. It is shown that the choice of the most efficient technique depends on the ratio of number of temperature constraints to the number of design variabies, as well as on the thermal analysis method employed. The analysis is specialized to the case of a structure modelled by finite elements, and an example of an insulation panel is used demonstrate the techniques.

    Notes: A kinematically nonlinear analysis of unbraced, rigid-jointed, portal frames, rotationally restrained at the base and subjected to eccentric concentrated and/or uniformly distributed loads, is presented. Through this analysis the complete behaviour, including the primary path and postbuckling path (whenever it exists), is evaluated. Moreover, through parametric studies, the effects of bar slenderness ratio, load eccentricity and amount of rotational restraint are assessed. Through this method it is also possible to assess the effect of member lengths and member lengths and member bending stiffnesses.

    Notes: Simple mixed models are developed for the geometrically nonlinear analysis of deep arches. A total Lagrangian description of the arch deformation is used and the analytical formulation is based on a form of the nonlinear deep arch theory with the effects of transverse shear deformation included. The fundamental unknowns consist of the six internal forces and generalized displacements of the arch, and the element characteristic arrays are obtained by using Hellinger-Reissner mixed variational principle. The polynomial interpolation functions used in approximating the forces are one degree lower than those used for approximating the displacements, and the forces are discontinuous at the interelement boundaries.The equivalence between the mixed models developed herein and displacement models based on reduced integration of both the transverse shear and extensional energy terms is discussed. The advantages of mixed models over equivalent displacement models are outlined. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the high accuracy and effectiveness of the mixed models developed, and compare their performance with other mixed models reported in the literature.

    Notes: The treatment of zero energy modes which arise due to one-point integration of first-order isoparametric finite elements is addressed. A method for precisely isolating these modes for arbitrary geometry is developed. Two hourglass control schemes, viscous and elastic, are presented and examined. In addition, a convenient one-point integration scheme which analytically integrates the element volume and uniform strain modes is presented.

    Notes: A series of algorithms, to solve the nonlinear algebraic equations resulting from nonlinear finite element models, are proposed. These algorithms involve a selective relaxation of the corrections defined by the modified Newton method. The resulting techniques accelerate the convergence of the modified Newton method. The improved convergence rate is obtained at the expense of a small increase in storage requirements. The results of numerical experiments, on certain nonlinear elasticity problems, are presented to verify the developed techniques.

    Notes: The boundary integral method is formulated and applied using cubic spline interpolation along the boundary for both the geometry and the primary variables. The cubic spline interpolation has continuous first and second derivatives between elements, thus allowing the accurate calculation of derivative dependent functions (on the boundary) such as velocity in potential flow. The spline functions also smooth the geometry and can represent curved sections with fewer nodes.The results of numerical experiments indicate that the accuracy of the boundary integral equation method is improved for a given number of elements by using cubic spline interpolation. It is, however, necessary to use numerical quadrature. The quadrature slows calculation and/or degrades the accuracy. The numerical experiments indicate that most problems run faster for a given accuracy using linear interpolation. There seems to be a class of problems, however, which requires higher order interpolation and/or continuous derivatives for which the cubic spline interpolation works much better than linear interpolation.

    Notes: Often, finite element solutions of thin plate/shell elements become very stiff and the displacement field solutions diverge from those predicted by Kirchhoff's theory. This phenomenon is known as the locking phenomenon. A theoretical fomulation demonstrating its existence is developed, and results of finite element analysis of a single element and mesh are discussed. This leads to a sufficient and necessary criterion which must be satisfied to avoid the locking phenomenon.

    Notes: Cracked plates of power hardening material under plane strain and incompressibility conditions are investigated in this work by using a penalty function and superposition method. The present numerical method is found to be quite efficient for the relevant problems if the hardening exponent of material is not so large.

    Notes: In this note, we give the basis functions (shape functions) for Hsieh-Clough-Tocher triangles, complete or reduced. In order to take the best advantage of symmetry and for simplicity, we derive these functions for a general triangle by using simultaneously the ‘area co-ordinates’ and the so-called ‘eccentricity parameters’. We conclude with some remarks concerning the implementation.

    Notes: This paper presented an efficient computational algorithm for the eigensolution for real symmetric positive definite matrices. The algorithm is based on the Cholesky decomposition and will be referred to as the Cholesky algorithm. The efficiency of the algorithm is due to the combination of several iteration cycles into one, as well as to a judicious choice of shifts. The latter is accomplished by combining an approach based on Sturm's theorem for the initial stages of the process with another approach based on Gersch-gorin's theorem for the subsequent and final stages of the process. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm was tested against that of the QL method and was found to be superior. Moreover, its superiority increases with an increase in the order of the eigenvalue problem. For an eigenvalue problem of order 100, the proposed algorithm produced a solution in about one-half the time required by the QL method.

    Notes: Finite element methods are formulated and investigated for the effectiveness factor problem for heat and mass transfer with chemical reactions in catalyst pellet models. A Galerkin finite element method is compared with a previous C1 collocation method7. A scheme that is conceptually intermediate between these two methods and accordingly has been termed collocation-Galerkin is formulated and numerical experiments considered. Of particular interest here are superconvergence results at the Gauss and Jacobi points, respectively. Numerical studies of superconvergence in the presence of a nonlinear reaction-rate term are presented. An integral formula is devised and used to compute the flux at the pellet surface to optimal accuracy. Numerical experiments are conducted to demonstrate the improvement in computed fluxes.

    Notes: The use of quasi-Newton methods is studied for the solution of the nonlinear finite element equations that arise in the analysis of incompressible fluid flow. An effective procedure for the use of Broyden's method in finite element analysis is presented. The quasi-Newton method is compared with the commonly employed successive substitution and Newton-Raphson procedures, and it is concluded that the use of Broyden's method can constitute an effective solution strategy.

    Notes: This paper discusses computational strategies for elastic-plastic-creep behaviour. These computational strategies, based on the tangent stiffness and initial strain techniques, include solution algorithms, modelling techniques and constitutive relations.A predictor-corrector iterative and non-iterative scheme is presented for combined plasticity and creep. This scheme has been incorporated into the three-dimensional, isoparametric element, module (HEX) of the Grumman PLANS finite element program for nonlinear analysis and used for the problems presented in this paper.The concept of modelling for inelastic behaviour is demonstrated by introducing a variable set of inelastic integration points within a finite element at which stresses and strains are monitored.In order to perform a meaningful analysis, one must understand and justify the employed constitutive relations. To this end, work at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in justifying constitutive relations for high-temperature nuclear reactor components is referred to.An analysis of a test model of a nuclear reactor inlet nozzle operating at high temperatures is presented to demonstrate some of the computational strategies discussed.

    Notes: This paper considers some consequences of the common implementation of the finite element method in which element integrals are evaluated numerically by Gaussian quadrature. It shows that if the order of the Gauss scheme is less than the number of basis functions on an element, then the numerically evaluated capacity matrix for that element is singular. The capacity matrix of an assembly of such elements is also considered and is shown to be singular under certain conditions.

    Notes: The principles of diakoptics are extended to time domain solutions and the technique is applied to the solution of fields by introducing space approximating polynomials. Since transmission-line networks provide time-discrete models suitable for exact numerical analysis, the topic is approached by tearing these transmission-line models and then showing how reconnection is made in the time domain.

    Notes: Two alternative hybrid-stress based three-dimensional elements are presented. These elements are intended for use in the analysis of thick plates for which the through-thickness variation of displacement and stress may be of high order, and in which a single element is to be used through the thickness of the plate. For both elements, the displacement assumption allows for cubic through-thickness variation in the inplane displacements, and quadratic through-thickness variation for the transverse displacement. The elements differ in the stress assumption used. In the first element, the z variations in the stress components are chosen to be consistent with the z variations of the strain distribution calculated from the displacement assumption, and the traction boundary conditions at the upper and lower surfaces are satisfied in the weighted integral sense. In the second element, the z variations in the stress components are chosen to achieve consistency with respect to the equilibrium equations, and the traction-free conditions at the upper and lower surface of the plate are satisfied exactly. The example problem of a semi-infinite, simply-supported thick plate under transverse sinusoidal loading is considered. Results obtained by using each of these elements are compared with available elasticity and approximate solutions, and an assessment of the relative merits and range of applicability of each element is made.

    Notes: A family of isoparametric curved beam elements of a general, compact cross-section is introduced. The formulation is based on beam theory and takes into account both transverse shear deformation and shear centre location. The elements exhibit the required displacement compatbility with Ahmad's superparametric thick-shell elements and isoparametric membrane elements. Examples presented at the end of the paper illustrate the validity of the formulation and the possibility of practical application of the elements.

    Notes: A new method of solving the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations by using the finite element method is proposed. The flow is represented by the stream function-vorticity formulation and the no-slip boundary conditions are explicitly introduced in the nonlinear equations. This formulation coupled with the Newton-Raphson method enables the study of stationary flows for high Reynolds number, without any convergence problem. A number of flow problems are analysed in order to demonstrate the efficiency of the present formulation.

    Notes: A series of 4-node axisymmetric solid-of-revolution elements with quadrilateral cross-section are developed based on the hybrid-stress finite element model. The displacement interpolation is identical, and the elements differ in the stress field chosen; alternative schemes for selection of stress distribution are investigated. The performance of these elements is assessed and compared for the example problems of a thick cylinder and thick sphere under internal pressure. Of particular importance are convergence, intra-element stress distributions, and element performance as the incompressible state is approached.

    Notes: The dynamic stress field and its concentrations around holes of arbitrary shape in infinitely extended bodies under plane stress or plane strain conditions are numerically determined. The material may be linear elastic or viscoelastic, while the dynamic load consists of plane compressional waves of harmonic or general transient nature. The method consists of applying the Laplace transform with respect to time to the governing equations of motion and formulating and solving the problem numerically in the transfomed domain by the boundary integral equation method. The stress field can then be obtaind by a numerical inversion of the trasformed solution. The correspondence principle is invoked for the case of viscoelastic material behavious. The method is simplified for the case of harmonic waves where no numerical inversion is involved.

    Notes: This paper presents the details of a unified numerical algorithm and the associated computer program developed for the efficient determination of natural frequencies and modes of free vibration of structures. Both spinning and nonspinning structures with or without viscous and/or structural damping may be solved by the current procedure; in a addition, the program is capable of solving static problems with multiple load cases as well as the quadratic matric eigenproblem associated with a finite dynamic element structural discretization. A special symmetric matrix decomposition scheme has been adopted for matrix triangularization, which renders the program rather efficient and economical. Also, a novel bisection scheme is described that further accelerates the solution convergence rate, particularly for the case of repeated roots.The associated computer program adopts and out-of-core solution strategy, thereby enabling effective solutions to be achieved for large, complex, practical structures. A complete listing of the program written in FORTRAN V, for the UNIVAC 1100/82 computer, along with the source deck is available for ready use.

    Notes: A singular finite element is developed for direct calculation of combined modes I and II stress intensity factors for planar rectilinear anisotropic structures subject to arbitrary loading. Twelve-node conventional elements are used in conjunction with a linear elastic fracture mechanics enrichment of the same element which is formed into a four-element macro-element. Example problems show this formulation to be exceptionally accurate and results are presented for a variety of modern fibre-reinforced composites in simple mode I extension and in mixed mode I and II situations. In addition, it is shown that the meshes for accurate results are relatively coarse and thus calculations are quite economical.

    Notes: The general problem of optimum design of trusses composed of tubular elements requires the determination of cross-sectional dimensions for each element which satisfy a set of side constraints on those dimensions as well as Euler and local buckling constraints. A formulation is presented which eliminates the necessity to use mathematical programming methods for the determination of feasible cross-sectional dimensions. The minimization problem is shown to be expressible in terms of area variables only, with each area subject to bounds which are functions of truss stiffness but which may be obtained by explicit analysis of the element ‘desing space’ for any design. This‘direct’ formulation is completely general and compatible with any minimization algorithm. The formulation also leads to a simple and efficient recursive procedure for producing near-optimal fully-constrained designs. Several examples illustrate results obtained by both the direct and recursive procedures.

    Notes: A numerical analysis of the critical conditions of thermal ignition for a two-dimensional cylindrical reactor with flow field occurrence was carried out. The critical conditions of thermal ignition were defined as bifurcation points of the limit type. The dependence of the bifurcation points on aerodynamics was analysed by a sequential variation of the Peclet number. The flow field in the reactor was generated previously by a numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations.The nonlinear parabolic equation of heat balance and linear eigenvalue boundary problems occurring in the proposed non-stationary method for calculating the bifurcation points was solved numerically using the finite difference technique.It was shown that the critical points of thermal ignition form a surface bounded by the line of ‘limit of criticality’ in the parameter space. For large values of the Peclet number, the dependence of the critical parameter of ignition on Peclet number becomes linear.

    Notes: The upwinded finite element method was introduced for the solution of conduction-convection problems by considering the model problem, u″-Ku′=0, K〉0, subject to the boundary conditions u(0)=1, u(1)=0. In this paper we consider the solution of this problem by the collocation method using piecewise cubic Hermite polynomials and a uniform grid. We consider the collocation points to be arbitrary parameters which enable us to express the collocation points in terms of the upwinding parameter of the upwinded finite element method. Various choices of the collocation points, including values which lead to complete accuracy in the nodal function values as well as the nodal values of the derivatives are discussed. Finally, we discuss the application of these points to slightly more general problems. Numerical results illustrating the behaviour of these points are given.

    Notes: The extension of a combined finite element-transfer matrix method to problems governed by quasi-harmonic equations is presented.Particular emphasis is given to heat conduction, and numerical results are presented for this type of problem (steady and transient cases).The principal advantage of the method with respect to finite elements concerns the minor dimension of the last matrix formulation which quite often implies a reduced computational burden.The accuracy of the method is considered by comparing the numerical results with some available analytical solutions for slabs: an excellent agreement is effectively obtained.No particular restrictions to the application of the method exist, and quite complex systems may be considered, provided that a suitable subdivision into strips and elements of the relevant region is carried out.

    Notes: A numerical procedure developed for solving the two-dimensional elastic contact problems with friction is presented. This is a generalization of a procedure developed by Francavilla and Zienkiewicz to include frictional effects under proportionate loading. The method uses the flexibility matrix obtained by inversion of condensed stiffness matrix formed by eliminating all the nodes except those where contact is likely to take place and those with external forces. Compatibility of displacements for both normal and tangential directions is applied to those nodes which do not slip. However, for the nodes which slip, compatibility of displacements is applied for normal direction only and slip condition is applied in the tangential direction. The technique has been applied to several problems and very good results have been obtained. The number of iterations needed are very small.

    Notes: In this paper, free surface flow problems involving large free surface motion are analysed using finite element techniques. In solving these problems a spatially fixed Eulerian mesh is employed, in conjunction with a moving Lagrangian free surface line. The coupling, between the equations valid on the free surface and the equations valid on the fluid domain, is carried out using hybrid finite element techniques. Physical problems involving solitary wave propagation, sloshing dynamics and porous media flow are analysed to demonstrate the developed technique.

    Notes: This paper describes and efficient method for computing two-dimensional element stiffness matrices. It is a generalization of the algorithm given by Taylor. 1Theory is developed for elements which are loaded under plane stress, plane strain or axisymmetric conditions, and two FORTRAN IV subroutines are included. These subroutines, which are presented in a modular form, are applicable to any type of serendipity, Lagrangian or triangular element, and may be incorporated into a user's library. Alternatively, if desired, the relevant code may be embedded directly into existing stiffness generation routines.

    Notes: The problem of harmonic waves in layered and fibre-reinforced composites is solved by a method of finite elements. Piecewise linear approximating functions are used for the displacement and stress fields in a mixed variational formulation, recently proposed by one of the writers in the form of a new quotient. Numerical computations are made for approximate phase-velocities of harmonic waves in layered composites, where asymmetric and symmetric triangular meshes, and square meshes with interior nodes, are used. To illustrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the method, these approximate solutions are compared with those given by means of exponential test functions, and the exact ones by Rytov, etc. Calculations are also performed for harmonic waves in fibre-reinforced composites.

    Notes: A solution strategy for the analysis of nonlinear structures is described. The strategy is a simple extension of existing Newton-type procedures, and can easily be incorporated into existing computer programs.Earlier work which contributed to the development of the strategy is reviewed and the theory of the procedure is presented. Six examples, covering several different types of structural behaviour are described. These examples suggest that the strategy is remarkably stable and efficient.

    Notes: This paper shows that mixed interpolation is required because of the nature of the pressure terms in the equations. These lead to finite element equations which in many circumstances do not uniquely determine the pressure, if the same interpolations are used for pressure and velocities.Several new combinations of pressure and velocity interpolation are analysed with the aid of a novel diagrammatic technique. In particular we consider some very interesting combinations in which, over nearly all the flow, the pressure and velocity are approximated on elements by biquadratic polynomials which are continuous across element boundaries.The theory of this paper is shown to be in complete agreement with numerical experiment.

    Notes: A finite element method with transmitting boundary is developed for time-harmonic elastodynamics on infinite domains. Only a finite inner domain needs to be discretized into conventional finite elements, while the effect of the exterior domain is simulated by introducing the transmitting boundary stiffness matrix on the degrees-of-freedom of the transmitting boundary nodes. In order to incorporate the Sommerfeld radiation condition, the reciprocity relation, on the transmitting boundary for the radiating elastodynamic state under consideration and the one which is induced by a finite number of point source is used to calculate the transmitting boundary stiffness matrix. The effectiveness of the transmitting boundary technique has been demonstrated by solving the stress concentration problems of a homogeneous isotropic full space with a circular cylindrical cavity and of the one with a spherical cavity, which are subjected to plane incident waves, and the results are compared with the ones of the conventional FEM and the exact data.

    Notes: The transient thermal analysis of large aerospace vehicles such as the space shuttle requires models with thousands of degrees-of-freedom. The design of thermal protection systems for such vehicles requires the repetitive thermal analysis of the vehicle and the calculation of sensitivities - derivatives of the transient response with respect to design parameters. When the number of design parameters is large, the cost of the sensitivity calculations may become prohibitive. The present work is concerned with reducing the computational cost and errors in sensitivity calculations with one of the simplest available methods - the finite difference approach. A technique for calculating simultaneously the nominal and perturbed solutions required for the finite difference derivative is proposed. An expression for the optimum value of the perturbation parameter is obtained which permits reducing the computational error. An insulated cylinder is used as an example which demonstrates that significant improvements in accuracy and efficiency may be obtained.

    Notes: A square tensile sheet with symmetric edge cracks is analysed by the finite element method to demonstrate the accuracy obtained with polynomial elements when the mesh patterns are chosen on the basis of the element's interpolation functions. Numerical results are provided for the accuracy of the total strain energy, the stress intensity factor, and the numerical condition of the global stiffness matrix. The stress intensity factor is determined to within 1.0 per cent accuracy using quadratic (linear strain) triangular elements with only 138 degrees-of-freedom.

    Notes: Splitting methods for time-dependent partial differential equations usually exhibit a drop in accuracy if boundary conditions become time-dependent. This phenomenon is investigated for a class of splitting methods for two-space dimensional parabolic partial differential equations. A boundary-value correction discussed in a paper by Fairweather and Mitchell for the Laplace equation with Dirichlet conditions, is generalized for a wide class of initial boundary-value problems. A numerical comparison is made for the ADI method of Peaceman-Rachford and the LOD method of Yanenko applied to problems with Dirichlet boundary conditions and non-Dirichlet boundary conditions.

    Notes: Two of the most promising localized finite element methods are compared: the boundary series element method, in which a series of eigenfunctions is used to represent the far field solution; and the boundary integral element method, in which an integral equation is satisfied at the boundary between localized finite element and outer regions. The methods are applied to water of arbitrary depth. The theory of the two methods is summarized, and typical numerical results are discussed. Consideration is given to the well-known hydrodynamical reciprocal relations, and to the phenomenon of ‘irregular’ frequencies. The relative merits of the two methods are established.

    Notes: The displacement and strain fields of thin-walled pretwisted beams are prescribed in terms of generalized displacements for extension, bending, torsion and warping. Differential equations and boundary conditions are obtained from the elastic potential energy functional without assuming coincidence of the beam axis with any of the structural axes. This procedure gives a unique consistent definition of sectional moments and generalized forces. Some simple explicit formulae are derived for homogeneous tension-torsion. For the general case a computer code is developed on the basis of discretized generalized displacements and a modified energy functional, devised to obtain consistent lengthwise variation of the stresses and a unique decomposition of the torsional moment. Examples show agreement with analytical results for cylindrical beams and illustrate the various coupling effects for beams with pretwist. They also demonstrate the usefulness of the explicit formulae for homogeneous tension-torsion.

    Notes: A computationally efficient and accurate solution technique for large-order eigenvalue problems with small to medium bandwidth is presented. The algorithm - called the Sub-Polynomial Iteration (SPI) method - solves for the eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors. directly without any transformation to the standard form. The method is an efficient combination of several separate techniques including Sturm sequence, Lagrangian polynomial interpolation, inverse iteration with shift and Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization. Computer run times for a set of sample solution indicate the efficiency of the SPI method.

    Notes: A numerical scheme is developed to study the stability of the linearized vorticity equations. The linear growth rates of Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities resulting from a velocity shear are calculated numerically. The theory of neutrally stable waves, in two dimensions, is extended to include the cases where the stream function is zero or periodic at the boundary, and is verified numerically for the case of a velocity profile having the shape of a cosine function. The instability growth rates of the oscillations in the neighbourhood of the neutrally stable waves are calculated numerically and are shown to be in very good agreement with the theory. The results are also of interest in relation to studies on the instabilities of a two-dimensional guiding-centre plasma, and also in the study of the diocotron instability in electronics.

    Notes: A method for solving boundary value problems for thin plate flexure as described by Kirchhoff's theory is proposed. An integral formulation leads to a system of boundary integral equations involving values of deflection, slope, bending moment and transverse shear force along the edge. A discretization leading to a matrix formulation is proposed. To solve problems with inner conditions in the plate domain, an elimination of boundary unknowns proves successful. The degenerate case where the boundary is free (which leads to a non-invertible matrix) is investigated. Three examples illustrate the efficiency of the method.

    Notes: The following work proposes the use of a special description-language for producing input data of finite element programs. The programs now used require a detailed description of the structure to be analysed, and they require it in a form which is unfavourable to the user and which promotes errors. Therefore, a language was designed which allows a short and compact description of the structure. This description is then automatically transformed into the input data. In this paper, the design process and the characteristics of the language are presented. Some comments on its implementation, that is on the development of a special preprocessor, are made. As target system, the finite element program SAP IV has been chosen. Finally, we want to present an example of the improvements achieved by the use of this language and the SAP IV preprocessor, respectively.

    Notes: Two alternative hybrid-stress-based functionals are examined for the incremental elastic-plastic static analysis of single layer plates. Material nonlinear effects are incorporated via the initial-stress approach so that an equivalent nodal force vector is defined and the stiffness remains constant throughout the incremental loading. The alternative functionals differ in the incremental stress which is assumed to satisfy equilibrium; in the first, it is the actual stress increment, and in the second it is the elastic stress increment. Results are presented for two example problems, and comparisons of the alternative functionals and plausible iteration schemes are given. The effects of variation of pertinent solution parameters are also shown. A 4-node hybrid-stress plate element based on a Mindlin-type displacement field is used for most cases; however, limited results are also presented using an 8-node plate element, thus permitting comparisons of the relative efficiencies of the two elements.

    Notes: Global and element residuals are introduced to determine a posteriori, computable, error bounds for finite element computations on a given mesh. The element residuals provide a criterion for determining where a finite element mesh requires refinement. This indicator is implemented in an algorithm in a finite element research program. There it is utilized to automatically refine the mesh for sample two-point problems exhibiting boundary layer and interior layer solutions. Results for both linear and nonlinear problems are presented. An important aspect of this investigation concerns the use of adaptive refinement in conjunction with iterative methods for system solution. As the mesh is being enriched through the refinement process, the solution on a given mesh provides an accurate starting iterate for the next mesh, and so on. A wide range of iterative methods are examined in a feasibility study and strategies for interweaving refinement and iteration are compared.

    Notes: A parametric element is formulated which enables the economic modelling of ‘infinite domain’ type problmes. A typical problem is an opening in a stress field in an infinite medium, either in two or three dimensions. The strategy is to model around the opening with two or three layers of conventional isoparametric finite elements and surround these with a single layer of ‘infinite domain’ elements.Several sample problems has been analysed for circular, square and spherical openings in infinite media, and the results compared with either theoretical or boundary element solutions which include the ‘infinite’ boundary in their solution technique.

    Notes: An approximation method is presented for the analysis for the interaction of a structure with a compressible linear fluid. The method uses the fact that the eigenvalues of the dry structure are higher than the corresponding eigenvalues of a structure in contact with an incompressible fluid, and the corresponding eigenvalues of a structure in contact with a compressible fluid are even lower. The proof of this theorem is given. It is shown that in both the compressible and incompressible cases the number of degress-of-freedom can be reduced to the number of boundary points which results in a substantial saving of core memory space and computing time. A sample problem is given to demonstrate the good results of the approximation methods for a low quotient of the eigenfrequencies divided by the square of the speed of sound.

    Notes: A number of transport problems are complicated by the presence of physically important transition zones where quantities exhibit steep gradients and special numerical care is required. When the location of such a transition zone changes as the solution evolves through time, use of a deforming numerical mesh is appropriate in order to preserve the proper numerical features both within the transition zone and at its boundaries.A general finite element solution method is described wherein the elements are allowed to deform continuously, and the effects of this deformation are accounted for exactly. The method is based on the Galerkin approximation in space, and uses finite difference approximations for the time derivatives. In the absence of element deformation, the method reduces to the conventional Galerkin formulation.The method is applied to the two-phase Stefan problem associated with the melting and solidification of A substance. The interface between the solid and liquid phase form an internal moving boundary, and latent heat effects are accounted for in the associated boundary condition. By allowing continuous mesh deformation, as dictated by this boundary condition, the moving boundary always lies on element boundaries. This circumvents the difficulties inherent in interpolation of parameters and dependent variables across regions where those quantities change abruptly.Basis functions based on Hermite polynomials are used, to allow exact specification of the flux-latent heat balance condition at the phase boundary. Analytic solutions for special cases provide tests of the method.

    Notes: A finite element formulation of laminar flow with finite rate chemical reaction and heat release is made. Results are presented for steady flow in a channel, a special case of which is solved analytically, and for transverse flow around a cylinder. These illustrate the power of the finite element method for the calculation of reacting flows in complex geometries.

    Notes: The reduction of liner partial differential equations for boundary-value problems to ordinary differential equations by the Lanczos-Chebyshev method is discussed and illustrated by applications to linear stress analysis and heat conduction in axisymmetric cylinders. Numerical examples given include eigenvalues for self-equilibrating end load problems in hollow cylinders, and heat conduction in a semi-infinite cylinder. Heat conduction in an infinite half-space is treated by considering a large multi-annular cylinder. The simplicity of the Lanczos-Chebyshev reduction method and its speed and accuracy are demonstrated.
