    Notes: Analytical and numerical studies are performed concerning the exclusion of the basis set superposition error (BSSE) from the SCF calculations of intermolecular interactions. Based on these studies a new procedure is proposed, which consists of the following steps: (1) determine the orbitals by the SCF scheme based on the recent “chemical Hamiltonian approach” (CHA-SCF method), i.e., excluding the delocalization effects caused by BSSE, and then (2) calculate the usual energy expectation value. (This gives results superior to those obtained by the previous nonsymmetric CHA energy formula.) The actual numerical calculations performed for different simple systems (He2, water dimer) by using various basis sets indicate that the CHA/CE (CHA with “conventional energy” formula) potential curves are well-balanced and are close to those obtained by the Boys-Bernardi (BB) method and usually (but not necessarily) go slightly beyond the latter. So our method gives results better than (or close to) those given by the BB method by performing only a single ∼N4 calculation at each geometrical arrangement of the system.

    Notes: The effect of electron correlation on the results of pseudopotential calculations was examined using a simple analytical semiempirical pseudopotential and a correlated floating-type one-center wave function. Investigations were performed for the XH alkali metal hydride molecules (X = Na, K, Rb, Cs). The inclusion of the electron correlation in the ground state proved important for the calculation of the dissociation and ionization energies, but it is less significant for the determination of the equilibrium nuclear distances. The ground state potential energy curves are also determined.

    Notes: Ab initio molecular orbital methods are employed to study the low-lying states of C3H+, SiC2H+, Si2CH+, and Si3H+. Special attention is paid to a comparative study between C3H+ and Si3H+. In both cases a 3B2 state is found to lie the lowest at the HF level, although inclusion of correlation effects favor a linear structure (1Σ+ state) for C3H+, which lies 25 kcal/mol below the 3B2 state at the MP4 level, and a bent structure (1A′ state) for Si3H+, which lies just 2 kcal/mol below the 3B2 state. The proton affinities of C3, SiC2, Si2C, and Si3 are estimated at different levels of theory. Both protonation at carbon and silicon atoms are considered for SiC2 and Si2C. It is found that C3 comparatively has a low proton affinity. On the other hand, Si3 has a relatively high proton affinity compared with the protonation at silicon atom for both SiC2 and Si2C. These results are discussed on the basis of electronic structure arguments.

    Notes: An empirical potential is introduced that is suitable for calculation of the interaction enegies of biomolecules with thousands of atoms. The potential consists of electrostatic, repulsion, and dispersion energy terms. The approach used for parametrization of the potential is entirely different from that used with other existing potentials. Namely, all the terms were parametrized independently to retain their physical significance. The sum of the electrostatic and repulsion terms mimic the SCF interaction energy calculated using Huzinaga's minimal basis set MINI-1. The dispersion energy is very important and is usually predominant for the interactions of large (polar) molecules in the gas phase as well as in the liquid phase.

    Notes: In this paper a general method for the evaluation of the matrix elements of spin-dependent operators is proposed to improve the treatment primitively suggesteed by Cooper and Musher. This approach is largely based on the recent results which the present authors have achieved in the representation theory for the inner- and outer-product reduction of the symmetric group. It is shown that the so-called outer-product coupling coefficients (OPCC) can be used to generalize the method for constructing the irreducible tensor operators of group Sn. Together with the use of inner-product coupling coefficients (IPCC), an expression for the matrix elements of spin-dependent operators is presented as the product of a Racah coefficient for Sn and a reduced matrix element which can be expressed in terms of IPCC, OPCC, and the related integrals. The treatment for one- and two-electron spin-dependent operators is discussed in detail.

    Notes: The isotropic (aiso) and dipolar (Adip) hyperfine coupling constants of 19F2- were obtained from MRD-CI wave functions using a variety of basis sets. In series I, increasing numbers of d functions were added to a 5s4p contracted Huzinaga/Dunning basis. In series II, the 5s3p basis set was uncontracted in several steps until 9s5p was reached, to which were added from one to three d-polarization functions. CI parameters (selection thresholds and the number of reference configurations) were also varied. A study of the R dependence of aiso and Adip was performed. The best values obtained at Re are 260 G for aiso and 308 G for Adip, compared with experimental values of about 280 G for aiso and 320 G for Adip.

    Notes: Quantum mechanical calculations have been used to study the reaction mechanism of human carbonic anhydrase-catalyzed hydration of CO2. This reaction is responsible for fast metabolism of CO2 in the human body. For each of the reaction steps, possible catalytic effects of active site residues are examined. The pertinent results are as follows. (1) For CO2 binding, the experimentally observed 2.5 cm-1 frequency shift of the asymmetic stretching frequency between measurements taken in the aqueous solution and in the enzyme is reproduced in our theoretical calculations. Our results suggest that CO2 binds to the zinc ion within the hydrophobic pocket. (2) No energy barrier is found for the nucleophilic attack from Zn2+-bound OH- to C of CO2 to form Zn2+-bound HCO3-. (3) For the internal proton transfer within zinc-bound HCO3-, the barrier of 35.6 kcal/mol for the direct internal proton transfer is reduced to 3.5 and 1.4 kcal/mol, respectively, when one or two water molecules are included for proton relay. (4) Displacement of Zn2+-bound HCO3- by H2O is facilitated by the presence of the negatively charged Glu 106-Thr 199 chain and by the association and the subsequent ionization of a fifth water ligand. (5) For the intramolecular proton transfer between Zn2+-bound H2O and His 64, the Zn2+ ion lowers the pKa of Zn2+-bound water and repels the proton. His 64, or a similar proton receptor with a larger proton affinity than H2O, functions as proton receiver; and the active site water molecules visualized by x-ray crystallography are important for the proton relay function. In summary, it is demonstrated that in order to achieve effective catalysis, a sequence of precisely coordinated catalytic events among all participating catalytic elements in the enzyme's active site is essential.

    Notes: We describe an efficient new algorithm which extends the range of feasible shell model calculations. This algorithm is applicable to single shell and multiple shell configurations, where two or more quantum numbers (e.g., L and S) are required to label the states within each shell. The algorithm proceeds by factoring the shell model Hilbert space into a product of subspaces, one for each angular momentum. N-particle wave functions are built up recursively from N - 1 particle wave functions. Three kinds of N - 1- to N-particle coefficients are required to carry out the construction of N-particle electron (or fermion) states from N - 1 particle states. These are (1) coefficients of fractional parentage (CFPs) within a single shell, (2) outerproduct isoscalar factors (OISFs) within a single angular momentum subspace, and (3) innerproduct isoscalar factors (IISFs) which describe how multishell states within the complementary angular momentum subspaces are combined to form totally antisymmetric wave functions. All three types of N - 1- to N-particle coefficients are generated recursively using a single powerful and efficient matrix diagonalization algorithm. Matrix elements of single particle creation and annihilation operators are expressed in terms of single particle CFPs, OISFs, and IISFs. We also describe an efficient algorithm for computing matrix elements of products of creation and anihilation operators by inserting and summing over complete sets of intermediate states. This is the Feynman-like sum over path overlaps procedure. Timing benchmarks are presented comparing the new Drexel University shell model (DUSM) code with a state of the art shell model code.

    Notes: A graphical approach to the configuration interaction in the basis of pure Slater determinants is presented. The formulation based on the spin-separated two-slope graph (SSTSG), enabling the selection of determinants with the fixed Ms value, has a direct relation to the well-known concept of the group-function product. The commonly used excitation criterion and the spatial (Abelian) symmetry properties are analyzed in terms of the graph's internal structure. The Slater formulae for the Hamiltonian matrix elements between determinants, in the particle-hole formalism and in the spin-separated form, are related to different classes of loops within graphs. Some aspects of implementation within both the matrix-element-driven (ME) and integral driven (ID, direct) CI algorithms are discussed. The presented formulation, of a general complete active space (CAS) CI type, is a basis of the Graphical Determinantal Configuration Interaction (GDCI) computer program.

    Notes: A complex multidimensional DNA structure is obtained when treating the elements of the Eco RI restriction set of buffalo rat as a cascade of self-similar units. Fifteen of the 16 (about 94%) Eco RI repeat families, ranging in length from 2300 to 83 nucleotides and in frequency from 500 to 〉 106 units, are sorted into a three-tiered well-ordered fractal/Fibonacci lattice. On the first level, 11 fractal dimensions are defined as unique collinear collections of repeat DNA families in a “graph-invariant” plot of log(fragment length):log(frequency). On the second level, the individual dimensional arrays are clustered as groups, each sharing, at last, one common vertex. On the third level, the entire display is scaled along a stepwise log to the base 6 expansion. This study represents the first successful attempt to unify an “entire” set of repeat DNAs into a single motif, in effect confirming the contention that select repeat DNAs provide a framework for the discrete packaging and unpackaging of genomic information.

    Notes: Vibrational and vibration-rotational energy levels of ozone and its isotopic substitutes have been calculated variationally by the ladder operator method. Thirty vibrational band origins and rotational energies of vibrational ground states for these molecules have been given. The good agreement between the calculated results and the observed values shows that the calculation method is a promising one for variational studies of vibrational and vibration-rotational properties of nonlinear polyatomic molecules.

    Notes: Earlier work on the Pauli potential VPauli, which allows the square root of the electron density to be calculated directly from a Schrödinger equation, is generalized from two-level (radial) systems such as the Be atom to the n-level case in one dimension. This is achieved using hyperspherical functions, in terms of which the first- and second-order density matrices are expressed. It is confirmed that VPauli can be constructed from the ground-state density ρ (x) and its first two derivatives, plus the functional derivative of the single-particle kinetic energy with respect to ρ. Finally, contact is made with the Harriman construction, but now using approximate one-body orbitals.

    Notes: Results of a Monte Carlo simulation of the hydration of caffeine (1,3,7-trimethyl-2,6-dioxipurine) and three different configurations of its stacked dimer are presented. Simulations were performed in a cluster approximation; the system contained 200 water molecules. The nature of the stabilization of caffeine stacking associates in water was considered. A hydrophobic behavior of methyl groups during association of caffeine molecules in water is shown. Results of the simulation of caffeine hydration are compared with experimental data from the study of the system of caffeine-water.

    Notes: A close scrutiny of the relationship between geometric constraints and motion in a system of water molecules allows the prediction of a role of solvent dynamics in the solvent-mediated interaction between two solutes and between different parts of one solute. The predicted mechanism is cooperative, and its operation is widely supported by experiments (not only by our group) in which solvent dynamics were modulated by isotopic or cosolvent perturbations. More recent experimental work by our group and simulation work of MCY water by Fornili et al, strengthens this evidence and visualizes how an immobilized water molecule can “seed” or “pin” a high-connectivity patch of H bonds. Involvement of the mechanism in pattern-specific, solvent-mediated driving forces of significant size (additional to those due to electrostatic recognition determinants) and in functional proton-transfer is inferred from available evidence.

    Notes: Ab initio, quantum chemical methods have been used to develop an interaction model for the binding of benzoic and salicylic acids and phenols to cyclooxygenase, leading to their antiinflammatory action. The model is based on a regression analysis of the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital with the potency of the active substances to inhibit prostaglandin production in mouse macrophages and on an analysis of the frontier orbital charge distributions and electrostatic potentials of active and inactive compounds. The model suggests that binding is controlled by an electrostatic orientational factor and a charge transfer or polarization contribution. The observed relative potencies of the phenols and acids can be rationalized with the help of the proposed interaction model.

    Notes: Wave function tails are analyzed quantitatively by investigating the dependence of exterior electron density (EED) on basis sets; the EED is defined as the integrated electron density outside the repulsive molecular surface. Ab initio MO calculations with large scale basis sets were performed to establish the benchmark order of EED values for valence orbitals of some simple molecules. It is found that very popular basis sets, such as 4-31G, which are determined by energy optimization, are inferior in describing the wave function tails to some similar size basis sets, such as MIDI-4, which are obtained by least-squares fit to near Hartree-Fock atomic functions. Further the EED values for atomic 2s functions are shown to be unfavorably smaller than those for atomic 2p functions when the same value is used for the exponent α in the GTO basis sets. This indicates that the frequently used constraint αs = αp is not appropriate for describing wave function tails with medium-size basis sets. Deficiencies in the energy-optimized basis sets are found to become more serious for molecules including heavier atoms.

    Notes: Double-well potential energy surfaces for hydrogen bonding in crystalline vitamin B6 have been associated with molecular environmental effects. New calculations, involving improved representations of a fragmentation model, include the introduction of a second pyridoxinium chloride system within the model in a “dimer-like” configuration. The new results confirm the double-well potential and the prediction of the experimentally observed position for the proton as being due essentially to environmental effects.Atomic difference maps are presented for the charge density distributions, which reflect the nature of the bonding as it depends on the proton position. Mulliken populations are examined particularly in relation to the “intermolecular” transfer of electrons.

    Notes: One of possible approaches to the CI method is based on Boys bonded functions which can be generated in a systematic way forming an independent set of high internal symmetry. The main disadvantage of bonded functions is their nonorthogonality. In this paper a scheme is proposed for passing to orthogonalized set of bonded functions together with the appropriate algorithm for the transformation of the energy matrix H. The orthogonalization matrices are shown to reflect high symmetry of the canonical set of bonded functions, and in what follows they can be defined by short vectors. Moreover, the orthogonalization transformation can be handled in a blockwise manner.

    Notes: An interaction range analysis of electronic structures has been developed with density matrix approximation techniques. A successive error analysis of electronic interaction of differing ranges reveals clear pattrns. Aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocycles are used as examples. The developed technique is proposed to be used as an illustrative tool for the description of delocalization and as a guide for studies where delocalized systems are modeled by small subsystems.

    Notes: The explicit formulas for the evaluation of the Hamiltonian matrix elements are presented. The calculation of the integral coefficients is independent of both the nature of the orbitals and th spin coupling schemes. It is fully automatic and only dependent on the number of doubly and singly occupied orbitals. Further-more, the symmetric group representation matrices are not needed, and the N! problem can be avoided.

    Notes: Formulas for the energies and widths of shape resonances, i.e., quasi-stationary levels for a quantal particle moving in a spherically symmetric potential, valid also close to the top of the potential barrier, have been published by Drukarev, Fröman, and Fröman. On the basis of these formulas, in the present paper the potential is explicitly expressed in terms of experimental data on the energies and widths of the quasi-stationary states. The treatment is related to previous treatments by Wheeler and by Cole and Good, Jr., which are in turn related to the Rydberg-Klein-Rees method.

    Notes: New solutions for reaction-diffusion equations, called singletons and polytons, are found to be of fundamental significance. They exhibit properties of self-formation. In the presence of nonlinear saturation effects their evolutions in time have pronounced maxima. Information about details of an initial spatial distribution is found to be carried along in time with the dynamic process of forming a growing singleton and to be restored at a later stage.

    Notes: Compton spectra excited by 241Am radiation have been measured on thin single-crystal slices with the scattering vector oriented parallel and perpendicular to the pair of hydrogen bonds in the (HCO3)22- dimers as well as to the plane of the dimers. the reciprocal form factors extracted from the spectra are strongly anisotropic with two extra zero passages in the direction of the hydrogen bonds. the results are in very satisfactory agreement with theoretical data that are calculated for the dimer with and without additional point charges simulating the neighboring ions in the crystal. The calculations have been done with Gaussian basis sets of double-zeta quality within the Hartree-Fock approximation. The theoretical reciprocal form factors of the monomer HCO3- and the dimer show only small differences in the directions perpendicular to the hydrogen bonds, whereas the differences in the hydrogen bond direction are remarkable and account for the experimentally observed features. In comparison to this effect the influence of the neighboring ions by their charges is much smaller, which is even true when taking into account the influence of the neighboring dimers in the crystalline stack in more detail by symmetrical orthogonalization of the combined wave functions. The same orthogonalization procedure applied to a pair of monomers in the spatial arrangement of the dimer yields a reciprocal form factor that in the experimentally reliable range above 1.8 Å accounts for most of the dimerization effect in the direction of the hydrogen bonds. Thus also for this prototype of paired hydrogen bonds (cf., carboxylic acids, DNA, and RNA), it confirms our earlier experimental finding on liquid water now unambiguously, namely that, in the same way as the cohesion in ionic crystals, hydrogen bond formation in bulk matter is distinctly dominated by electrostatic attraction, which is compensated by repulsion owing to the Pauli principle.

    Notes: The effect of molecular interaction on the O—H stretching force constant of methanol (MeOH) is reported for its associated species. The various electron donors (D) and acceptors (A) considered include organic molecules such as methanol, dimethylether, acetone, acetonitrile, dimethyl formamide, pyridine, and ions such as F-, Cl-, Li+, and H+. The variation in the O—H stretching force constant of MeO—H…D species on interaction with the electron acceptor such as in the species is explained on the basis of the cooperativity effect. (CE). The effect is discussed in terms of the relationship CE = (ΔF/F) × 100, where ΔF is the reduction is force constant of the hydrogen-bonded O—H stretching mode of the associated methanol species MeOH…D when the lone pair electrons on oxygen of the methanol molecule are involved in hydrogen bonding with A, and F is the hydrogen-bonded O—H stretching force constant of the species when the lone pair electrons are free. The cooperativity effect (CE) is found to increase with increasing electron acceptor and electron donor capacities of A and D. The calculated force constants are compared with the experimental results.

    Notes: It is shown that doubly excited states play an important role in calculations of the optical activity of molecules with well-conjugated electron systems, such as the DNA bases. In some significant cases it is necessary to include a large number of excited states in the configuration interaction (CI) to obtain a reliable, converging result. A new version of the CNDO/OPTIC method, which includes doubly excited states in the CI, is proposed. As an application, the electric transition moments in different pyrimidines are considered. The calculated results agree with experimental data and results obtained from ab initio calculations and INDO calculations using doubly excited states in the CI.

    Notes: The derivative of the electron-electron potential energy Uee with respect to internuclear separation R is studied for light homonuclear diatomic molecules at equilibrium. It is readily related to nuclear-nuclear potential energy Unn, the force constant K, and the electron-nuclear potential energy Uen. An approximate expression, based on the simplest form of density functional theory, is then used to eliminate dUen/dR|Re. The result thus obtained for dUee/dR|Re transcends an earlier proposal of Kryachko by including a term 2/3ReK, with K the force constant. Numerical tests at SCF-RHF level are presented for nine homonuclear diatomic molecules.

    Notes: The spectroscopically parametrized CNDO/S3 model is used to provide a quantitative description of the valence electron photoemission and ultraviolet absorption spectra of a series of substituted phenols and anisoles. The CNDO/S3 density of valence states was used to determine the molecular conformation of these molecules via analysis of gas-phase photoemission spectra. These conformations, in turn, were used to quantitatively determine the ultraviolet absorption spectra.

    Notes: A spin-free symmetry-adapted valence bond (VB) state, named bonded tableau (BT), is deduced from the classical bonded function and labeled by an at most two-column Weyl tableau. The complete set, which is composed of the BT basis or canonical bonded tableau (CBT), can be constructed from an overcomplete set of BT states. CI CBT and VB CBT are two kinds of complete sets that are constructed in this paper. They can be used, respectively, in the CI and VB theory. It is shown that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the labeling scheme for CI CBT and the Gelfand-Tsetlin (GT) basis. This relationship enables an efficient generation and compact representation of the BT basis if one desires to use the known global representation scheme for the GT basis. Effective algorithms for the matrix element evaluation of unitary group generators and products of generators between BT states are presented. In the formulation, the action of a generator on a BT state yields another BT state times a coefficient, so that the matrix elements of an arbitrary multiple product of generators are reduced to a calculation of the overlaps between BT states. The evaluation of the overlaps leads to a simple factorization into cycle contributions, whose values are given explicitly and only depend on the length parameters of the cycles. It is hoped that the presented formalism can facilitate the procedures for handling of the many-electron correlation problem.

    Notes: We show that even when the nuclear motion is quantum mechanically described, the energy of a molecular state can be exactly expressed as a sum of terms, each one related to a nuclei of the molecule. This is a generalization of a similar result obtained by Politzer and Parr for the case in which the nuclei are in fixed positions. In fact, the nuclear motion is exactly taken into account through a modified screening function derivative evaluated on each nucleus of the molecule. We discuss how the screening function derivatives corresponding to the fixed nuclei case relate to those which take into account the nuclear motion. A simple relation between these two arises in the so-called crude Börn-Oppenheimer approximation.

    Notes: A combinatorial derivation of the product of the class of three cycles, [(1)N-3(3)]N with an arbitrary class operator of the symmetric group SN is presented. The form of this result suggests a conjecture concerning the expression of the general class operator product in terms of a relatively small number of reduced class coefficients. The conjecture is applied to the determination of the products of [(1)N-4(4)]N, [(1)N-4(2)2]N, and [(1)N-5(5)]N with arbitrary class operators. General expressions for the reduced class coefficients of the simplest type are obtained.

    Notes: The local energy is examined as an indicator of the accuracy of approximate wave functions for the ground state of helium. It is observed that at a given point (1) an inaccurate local energy may or may not correspond to an inaccurate value of the wave function or probability density, but (2) a value of the local energy within 0.1 a.u. of the ground-state energy corresponds to a value of the approximate wave function or probability density within about 10% of that for the ground-state wave function.

    Notes: A configuration-averaged Fock (CAHF) operator is developed within the restricted open-shell formulation (ROHF) for the case of any number of open-shell orbitals containing any number of electrons. The resulting orbitals and energies should be useful for those cases where there is a great degeneracy of states, either preventing self-consistent field convergence, or negating the value of a pure state description itself. This procedure is compared with the hyper-Hartree-Fock method of Slater and the grand canonical Hartree-Fock ansatz of Abdulnar, Linderberg, Öhrn, and Thulstrup.

    Notes: An explicit relation is derived between the one-body potential energy and the electron density for the ground state of the Be atom in a nonrelativistic framework. This same relation applies to any four-electron atomic ion (or to Be itself) in a state where the electrons occupy two doubly filled orbitals. The relation is interpreted as an exact Hartree-like model of the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem within the general context of N electrons and a potential that is not necessarily spherically symmetrical.

    Notes: A short review of the recent development of the stochastic approach to chemical reactions in condensed media is made. The relations of this approach to a general formulation of chemical kinetics are discussed on the basis of a many-frequency oscillator model. It is shown that the classical transition-state theory is not a particular case of the stochastic theory neither in the case of small viscosity nor in the case of large viscosity. The recent quantum generalizations of the stochastic theory are identical to earlier results of a quantum transition-state theory that correspond to the case of large viscosity. Such generalizations based on previous results of a collision theory are made for the case of small viscosity. It is shown that these quantum generalizations of the stochastic theory are possible only in the temperature range of moderate tunneling defined in terms of a characteristic temperature.

    Notes: Correlation forms for electrons of the same spin small molecules are analyzed by taking the LiH molecule as an example. The analyses are carried out on the basis of the reduced density matrix theory and for both the ground state and the first excited state. It turns out that although there is a certain similarity, the correlated motions of parallel-spin electrons in this four-electron molecule are more complicated than those found for the two-electron molecule. The correlation forms are not always constant. They vary essentially from one state to another, but are insensitive to fairly large changes of the internuclear distance for a given state.

    Notes: We have separated the electrostatic potential of a molecule into two parts: an atomic-like part, which is expanded in spherical harmonics around each nucleus, plus an overlap part, expanded in ellipsoidal harmonics around each pair of nuclei. Neglect of the penetration effect in these expansions yields a superposition of point and line multipoles. We have studied the penetration effect for the case of the hydrogen molecules and suggest an approximation for the elliptical penetration effect as a screening factor in the electrostatic potential.

    Notes: The dynamic behaviour of marine vehicles in extreme sea states is a matter of great concern following some recent and dramatic mishaps. The complex problem of its prediction can be approached from the study, yet of broader scope, of non-linear dynamic systems subjected to stochastic excitations. However, a general non-linear stochastic dynamic theory is not yet available.A new technique, the so-called linearize-and-match method, for predicting the response statistics of non-linear systems, is presented. Essentially, the technique involves the construction of an infinite series of linear systems aimed at the prediction of the response statistical moments of a given order.The linear systems are successively defined by linearizing the original, non-linear system and matching the Volterra functional model response statistics to the desired order. The linear system for predicting second order statistics is shown to coincide with the one obtained using the method of equivalent linearization.Response probability distributions can be constructed from the knowledge of such statistics. Particular attention is devoted to the distribution of maximum entropy and its justification in such underdetermined moment problems.Finally, applications to the roll motion of ships serve to exemplify as well as to assess the accuracy and the versatility of the overall method. Response distributions of maxima so predicted compare very well with digital simulation estimates.

    Notes: In this paper a mathematical model is presented, based on the application of an averaging technique, in which the equations governing the behaviour of saturated porous media are integrated (averaged) over the smallest dimension of the domain of the problem (thickness). This results in a two dimensional model, in which the three dimensional nature of the problem is accounted for. In fact, the solution is sought in terms of the mean values over the thickness of the field variables and of the transverse displacement components. For the solution of the resulting governing equations a partitioned procedure is employed, which improves the efficiency of the method. The proposed model is very useful in solving problems in which the spatial nature prevents the applications of two dimensional models.Examples are presented, which illustrate the validity of this approach.

    Notes: Finite element analysis was used to study the fracture toughening of a ceramic by a stress induced dilatant transformation of second phase particles. The finite element method was based on a continuum theory which modelled the composite as subcritical material. Transient crack growth was simulated in the finite element mesh by a nodal release technique. The crack's remote tensile opening load was adjusted to maintain the near-tip energy release rate at the level necessary for crack advance. The transformation zone surrounding the crack developed as the crack propagated through the composite. Resistance curves were computed from the analysis; and the results show that during crack advance maximum toughness is achieved before a steady state is reached.The toughening effect of a crack-bridging ductile phase in a brittle material may be predicted if ligament deformation is characterized. A plastically deforming ligament constrained by surrounding elastic matrix material is modelled using finite elements and the relevant toughness enhancement information extracted. Comparison is made to model experiments as well as to toughness measured for technologically important materials. The results suggest that debonding along the interface between the ligament and the matrix may enhance the toughening effect of a ductile phase.

    Notes: A closed form approach to the assessment of the fatigue life of graphite/epoxy laminates under cyclic tension-compression loading has been developed. The model is mechanistic and uses cyclic energy release rates for prediction of delamination growth and of critical delamination sizes which induce buckling and the final failure of the laminates. Tests performed with graphite/epoxy specimens of stacking order [0n, φm]s with severed central plies [φ], and of stacking order [02, +45, 02, -45, 0, 90]s with a central unloaded hole, indicate good correlation between estimated values and observed delamination growth, critical buckling strength of separated plies and load cycles to failure.

    Notes: The paper presents a formulation in the frequency domain for the viscoelastic material behaviour of structural elements. This approach is equally valid for deterministic forces, but also in the case of probabilistic descriptions of those forces. The method takes advantage of readily available experimental data and shows how to introduce them in e.g. finite element formulations.

    Notes: Chebyshev acceleration for a symmetrizable basic iterative method u(n+1) = Gu(n) + k; requires estimates of the extreme eigenvalues m(G) and M(G) of the iteration matrix G. Adaptive procedures are often used in order to obtain good estimates for m(G) and M(G). Some existing adaptive procedures are able to give an estimate of either m(G) or M(G) but not both on any given iteration. In this paper we present an adaptive procedure which can estimate both m(G) and M(G) at the same time and which has other useful properties. Numerical results are given which show the new procedure usually requires fewer iterations than previous procedures.

    Notes: The storage requirements and performance consequences of a few different data parallel implementations of the finite element method for domains discretized by three-dimensional brick elements are reviewed. Letting a processor represent a nodal point per unassembled finite element yields a concurrency that may be one to two orders of magnitude higher for common elements than if a processor represents an unassembled finite element. The former representation also allows for higher order elements with a limited amount of storage per processor. A totally parallel stiffness matrix generation algorithm is presented. The equilibrium equations are solved by a conjugate gradient method with diagonal scaling. The results from several simulations designed to show the dependence of the number of iterations to convergence upon the Poisson ratio, the finite element discretization and the element order are reported. The domain was discretized by three-dimensional Lagrange elements in all cases. The number of iterations to convergence increases with the Poisson ratio. Increasing the number of elements in one special dimension increases the number of iterations to convergence, linearly. Increasing the element order p in one spatial dimension increases the number of iterations to convergence as pα, where α is 1·4-1·5 for the model problems.

    Notes: A matrix relationship connecting the Jacobi and the Symmetric Successive Overrelaxation (SSOR) matrices associated with a k-cyclic consistently ordered matrix A is presented. Next the equivalence of the SSOR method and a certain monoparametric k-step one for the solution of the linear algebraic system Ax = b is established. The aforementioned equivalence can be exploited to derive regions of convergence, optimum parameters involved, etc. of the two iterative methods above. This is done by studying the simplest of the two methods that is the monoparametric k-step one. To show how the idea works the case k = 2 is very briefly discussed.

    Notes: The standard implementations of iterative solvers for finite element and finite difference methods frequently use a diagonal (Jacobi) preconditioner, particularly for element-by-element schemes. However, for such methods the actual order of the condition number with respect to mesh size is not reduced by the preconditioner. In the present paper we describe an iterative method where, in addition, the condition number is reduced by an order of magnitude. Moreover, the scheme may also be implemented as an element-by-element method. The method uses a generalized SSOR preconditioner and a wave front or multi-frontal ordering of the mesh nodes. For a general irregular finite element mesh a striped irregular wave front ordering may be used. The performance of the method as well as various iterative acceleration techniques for a parallel computer are examined in the numerical studies.

    Notes: This paper presents a geometrically non-linear formulation (GNL) for the three dimensional curved beam elements using the total Lagrangian approach. The element geometry is constructed using co-ordinates of the nodes on the centroidal or reference axis and the orthogonal nodal vectors representing the principal bending directions. The element displacement field is described using three translations at the element nodes and three rotations about the local axesThe element displacement field has also been described in the literature using Euler parameters, Milenkovic parameters, or Rodriges parameters representing the effects of large rotations.. The GNL three dimensional beam element formulations based on these element approximations are restricted to small nodal rotations between two successive load increments. The element formulation presented here removes such restrictions. This is accomplished by retaining non-linear nodal terms in the definition of the element displacement field, and the consistent derivation of the element properties. The formulation presented here is very general and yet can be made specific by selecting proper non-linear functions representing the effects of nodal rotations. The details of the element properties are presented and discussed. Numerical examples are also presented to demonstrate the behaviour and the accuracy of the elements. A comparison of the results obtained from the present formulation with those available in the literature using a linearized element approximation clearly demonstrate the superiority of the formulation in terms of large load steps, large rotations between two load steps and extremely good convergence characteristics during equilibrium iterations. The displacement approximation of these elements is fully compatible with the isoparametric curved shell elements (with large rotations), and since the elements possess offset capability, these elements can also serve as stiffeners for the curved shells.

    Notes: The alternative to quadrature, as a procedure for dealing with the integrations required in the direct boundary element method (DBEM), is to carry out the integration analytically and code the results directly. The potential benefits are efficient computer programs; the avoidance of numerical instability; and generally, better accuracy. The technique is developed in this paper.Serious problems arise when Gauss quadrature is employed for the integration of functions which contain, or are close to singularities. A numerical integration approach may fail at the first stage of the analysis, that is, during the assembly of the discrete equations; or it may fail at the subsequent stage of computing domain points near the boundary. The severity of the problem is dependent both on the strength of the singularity, and on geometry. These points are illustrated with examples.

    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: The basic concept, formulation and numerical application of a fully automatic version of the finite difference method (FDM) on a two-dimensional manifold embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space are presented. This version of the FDM was developed in order to enable automatic solution of problems formulated in arbitrary curvilinear co-ordinate systems in terms of covariant derivatives (e.g. shell equations).In the classical version of the FDM all operations in the curvilinear co-ordinates (the derivation of base vectors, curvature tensors and so on) have to be performed manually. The goal of the present work was to transfer this job to a computer, in order to minimize the user's effort during the numerical formulation of the physical problem. The relevant version of the fully automatized program FIDAMF, based on the FDM on arbitrary irregular grids,1,2 has been worked out. This code performs automatically all stages of the numerical analysis, starting from the mesh generation and approximation of the shape of the manifold, through computation of necessary objects on this manifold, to the solution of linear or non-linear problems formulated in terms of covariant derivatives.The method has been extended to the analysis of problems in which the co-ordinate system changes during the computation (e.g. the analysis of large deformations in the convectional description). This version of the curvilinear FDM was applied to the analysis of large deformations of hyperelastic membrane shells.The approach and the numerical routines, although used here with the FDM, can be combined with any other approximation method, in particular the finite element method.

    Notes: A direct-search optimization strategy, involving pattern-searches, pattern-moves and a simplex algorithm, has been applied to a number of frequency-domain circuit problems. We show that an approximate minimax result can be obtained with our simple approach, which includes using a modified minimax error function. In the examples attempted, the method comes quite close to the accuracy, if not the efficiency, of true minimax optimizers, and yields an accuracy as good as or better than a least-pth (p = 10) gradient optimizer. The method is broadly appropriate wherever it is difficult or inconvenient to calculate the gradients required for conventional minimax optimization.

    Notes: The formulation of the recently presented hybrid-Trefftz (HT) p-version elements1 has thus far been restricted to straight-sided polygonal elements. The present paper removes this limitation. Two alternative formulations are studied. In the first one any curvilinear geometry is represented accurately but the rigid body modes are recovered only in the limit as the p-refinement level is increased. In contrast, the second formulation represents the rigid modes exactly while the actual curvilinear geometry is approached with increasing accuracy as the p-refinement level is increased. The practical efficiency of the two alternative approaches is studied and assessed on pertinent examples of thin plates in bending.

The formulation is based on a generalization of the discrete Kirchhoff technique to include the transverse shear effects. The element, called DST (Discrete Shear Triangle), has a proper rank and is free of shear locking. It coincides with the DKT (Discrete Kirchhoff Triangle) element if the transverse shear effects are not significant. However, an incompatibility of the rotation of the normal appears due to shear effects. A detailed numerical evaluation of the characteristics and of the behaviour of the element has been performed including patch tests for thin and thick plates, convergence tests for clamped and simply supported plates under uniform loading and evaluation of stress resultants. The overall performance of the DST element is found to be very satisfactory.

    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: A numerical strategy for the simulation of structural modifications by virtual distortions is proposed. Two cases of structural modification are considered: the first concerns modifications of material distribution, and the second modifications of local constitutive relations (e.g. unilateral constraints for stresses or deformations). A formaulation of the fundamental equations of the simulation method is presented. These equations are applicable to the general structural modification problem of a truss-like structure. Then numerical algorithms which refer to particular applications, such as progressive collapse analysis or the analysis of structures with gaps, are discussed.The versatility of the method is illustrated with a number of examples, and the computational advantages of structural modification by the virtual distortion method are discussed.

    Notes: An adjoint approach is presented for the design sensitivity analysis of transient conduction problems. Variations of a general design functional are expressed in explicit form with respect to all design quantities, i.e. material properties, shape, applied thermal loads including convection, and initial conditions. The methodology incorporates the mutual energy between the real and adjoint thermal problems and a geometric mapping to describe shape variations. Finite element implementation of the method is discussed and an example is provided. Some potential difficulties that might be encountered when using the adjoint method with the finite element method are addressed. These involve the application of impulse loadings and Dirac temperature fields in the adjoint loadings.

    Notes: In this paper we compare direct and preconditioned iterative methods for the solution of nonsymmetric, sparse systems of linear algebraic equations. These problems occur in finite difference and finite element simulations of semiconductor devices, and fluid flow problems.We consider five iterative methods that appear to be the most promising for this class of problems: the biconjugate gradient method, the conjugate gradient squared method, the generalized minimal residual method, the generalized conjugate residual method and the method of orthogonal minimization. Each of these methods was tested using similar preconditioning (incomplete LU factorization) on a set of large, sparse matrices arising from finite element simulation of semiconductor devices. Results are shown where we compare the computation time and memory requirements for each of these methods against one another, as well as against a direct method that uses LU factorization to solve these problems.The results of our numerical experiments show that preconditioned iterative methods are a practical alternative to direct methods in the solution of large, sparse systems of equations, and can offer significant savings in storage and CPU time.

    Notes: The results of a numerical study of swirling and non-swirling combustor flows with and without density variations are presented. Constant-density arguments are used to justify closure assumptions invoked for the transport equations for turbulent momentum and scalar fluxes, which are written in terms of density-weighted variables. Comparisons are carried out with measurements obtained from three different axisymmetric model combustors. The three experiments cover recirculating flow, swirling flow and variable-density, swirling flow inside model combustors. Together, they offer wide ranging flow conditions to test the validity of the models. Results show that the Reynolds stress/flux models do a credible job of predicting constant-density, swirling and non-swirling combustor flows with passive scalar transport. However, their improvements over algebraic stress/flux models are marginal. The extension of the constant-density models to variable-density flow calculations shows that the models are equally valid for such flows. Therefore, the present results argue well for the adoption of constant-density models for variable-density flows until a successfully validated variable-density model is available.

    Notes: With a boundary-fitted curvilinear co-ordinate system, the parabolic approximation is applied to the mildslope equation to describe the wave propagation. Both refraction and diffraction are included in the numerical model. Because the shoreline coincides with one of the curvilinear co-ordinates, the numerical model can be used to compute wave propagations near an irregular shoreline.

    Notes: A global three dimensional model for numerical weather prediction is described. It uses spheric harmonic basis functions with triangular truncation in the horizontal and a finite element discretization for the vertical. Model experiments are used to compare this model with another version, which uses a finite difference scheme for vertical discretization.

    Notes: The paper deals with non-Fickian dispersion of inert solutes in random permeability fields. Attention is focused critically on the statistical characterization of the porous medium which affects pollutant dispersion in groundwater. After a brief account of recent results of stochastic theories of transport in porous media and of the fundamental indications of large-scale field experiments, it is inferred from numerical studies that the particular choice of an analytical form of covariance of log-conductivity has a poor influence on the overall dispersion process. In fact, different covariance structures with the same macroscale (a measure of the distance between two points beyond which the permeability ceases to be correlated) yield very similar dispersion processes. The result has a noteworthy bearing on field studies of pollutant dispersion in groundwater because it underlines the reliability of exponential correlation structures yielding analytical expression for time-varying macrodispersion coefficients.

    Notes: A consistent tangent stiffness matrix for the analysis of non-linear contact problems is presented. The associated element has three or four nodes and establishes contact between three-dimensional structures like solids and shells. It accounts for the non-linear kinematics of large deformation analysis and guarantees a quadratic convergence rate. Two formulations, the penalty method and the Lagrange multiplier method, are investigated.

    Notes: Two domain-by-domain algorithms, suitable for coarse-grained parallel processing analysis of the transient structural dynamics equation, are investigated for accuracy. The application under specific consideration is the analysis of three-dimensional framed structures subjected to time-varying loading. The domain-by-domain approaches attempt to include the advantageous aspects of both conditionally stable explicit algorithms, which require no simultaneous solution of equations and employ simple communication, and unconditionally stable implicit algorithms, which permit large time steps. The alternating group explicit algorithm is developed for finite element analysis, and its accuracy is investigated for a linear formulation. The group implicit algorithm is extended to non-linear finite element analysis, and its accuracy is investigated for the frame dynamics application. Both algorithms are shown to provide inadequate accuracy for practical time step sizes.

    Notes: In this paper we propose an original numerical method to get upper and lower bounds for the eigenfrequencies of an elastic structure.This method is based on a ‘static’ formulation for eigenvalue problems built up from a new quotient Rs which is defined on a load space. From Rs properties, upper and lower bounds for the exact eigenfrequencies are proved. The application of the method requires the solution of an eigenvalue problem of finite dimension and the computation of a constant which is characteristic of the discretization subspace. Results of numerical tests are given for the vibration problem of an elastic clamped membrane.

    Notes: The primary goal of this paper is to show how second derivative information can be used in an effective way in structural optimization problems. The basic idea is to generate such an information at the expense of only one more ‘virtual load case’ in the sensitivity analysis part of the finite element code. To achieve this goal a primal-dual approach is employed, that can also be interpreted as a sequential quadratic programming method.Another objective is to relate the proposed method to the well known family of approximation concepts techniques, where the primary optimization problem is transformed into a sequence of non-linear explicit subproblems. When restricted to diagonal second derivatives, the new approach can be viewed as a recursive convex programming method, similar to the ‘Convex Linearization’ method (CONLIN), and to its recent generalization, the ‘Method of Moving Asymptotes’ (MMA).This new method has been successfully tested on simple problems that can be solved in closed form, as well as on sizing optimization of trusses. In all cases the method converges faster than CONLIN, MMA or other approximation techniques based on reciprocal variables.

    Notes: The aim is to build up and test a numerical method to calculate the velocity of stationary two-dimensional flows. Both inviscid and viscous fluids are considered. They act in the unbounded domain surrounding a given profile and a stream function is introduced. A variational procedure, adapted to unbounded domains, reduces the problem to solving a finite sequence of hormonic equations, posed in bounded domains. Some profiles are tested using a finite element method.

    Notes: In this paper, a Mindlin plate element is formulated based on the Hellinger-Reissner principle and the γ-technique. The stiffness consists of a constant stress (one-point quadrature) matrix and a stabilization matrix. The stabilization matrix is compared with those previously proposed. In addition, the element uses a projection to modify the nodal displacements so that the patch test is satisfied. The projection matrix is based on a mode decomposition. Several numerical cases are presented, and it is shown that the mode decomposition projection is necessary both for satisfaction of the patch test and convergence.

    Notes: A method for the time domain identification of modal parameters of a vibrating structure using Z-transformation sequences is presented in this paper.This identification proceeds using the Z-transfer function of a vibrating structure from which an auto-regressive and moving-average (ARMA) model of the vibrating structure is derived. From this ARMA model and time domain data, the modal parameters can be identified. The time domain data can be obtained from single point or multiple shaker excitation modal testing. To demonstrate the application and efficiency of the method, a test on a simulated cantilever beam is presented.
