In this paper, a numerical method to be obtain the radar cross section(RCS) of three- dimensional bodies with arbitrary geometry and material compositions on the electromagnetic field with arbitrary incident angle is described. The RCS is obtained by solving the individual surface integral equation about multilayers scatterer using the three-dimensional bonudary element method(BEM). To show propriety and usefulness as to the three-dimensional BEM in this paper, the choice of a geometry is a multi-regular hexahedron and multi-right-angled hexahedron out of oblique incident electric field, and is considered to apply to every condition with loss sufficiently.

Low-order panel methods are being used to design marine propellers. Since the potential value over each panel for these methods is assumed to be a constant, the accuracy of prediction is known to be limited. Therefore, a higher order boundary element method(HOBEM) has been studied to enhance the accuracy of prediction. In this paper, a HOBEM representing the body boundary surfaces and physical quantities by a 9-node Lagrangian shape function is employed to analyse the flow around marine propellers in steady potential flow. First, the numerical results for a circular wing with thickness variations are compared with Jordan's linear solution. Then, the computational results of two propellers(DTRC 4119 & DTRC 4842 propeller) are compared with the experimental and numerical results published. The pressure distribution on the surface of the propeller is also compared with experimental data.

In order to investigate effects of anisotropic fiber packing on stresses in composites, a Volume Integral Equation Method is applied to calculate the elastostatic field in an unbounded isotropic elastic medium containing multiple orthotropic inclusions subject to remote loading, and a Mixed Volume and Boundary Integral Equation Method is introduced for the solution of elastostatic problems in unbounded isotropic materials containing multiple anisotropic inclusions as well as one void under uniform remote loading. A detailed analysis of stress fields at the interface between the isotropic matrix and the central orthotropic inclusion is carried out for square, hexagonal and random packing of orthotropic cylindrical inclusions, respectively. Also, an analysis of stress fields at the interface between the isotropic matrix and the central orthotropic inclusion is carried out, when it is assumed that a void is replaced with one inclusion adjacent to the central inclusion of square, hexagonal and random packing of orthotropic cylindrical inclusions, respectively, due to manufacturing and/or service induced defects. The effects of random orthotropic fiber packing on stresses at the interface between the isotropic matrix and the central orthotropic inclusion are compared with the influences of square and hexagonal orthotropic fiber packing on stresses. Through the analysis of plane elastostatic problems in unbounded isotropic matrix with multiple orthotropic inclusions and one void, it will be established that these new methods are very accurate and effective for investigating effects of general anisotropic fiber packing on stresses in composites.

This paper deals with the FEM analysis of nonlinear sloshing of incompressible, invicid and irrotational flow in two dimensional rectangular tank. We use laplace equation based on potential theory as governing equation. For large amplitude sloshing motion, kinematic and dynamic free surface conditions derived from Bernoulli equation are applied. This problem is solved by FEM using 9-node elements. For the time integration and accurate velocity calculation, we introduce predictor-corrector time marching scheme and least square method. Also, numerical stability in tracking of free surface is obtained by direct calculation of free surface location to time variation. Numerical results of sloshing induced by harmonic excitations, while comparing with those of linear theory and references, prove the accuracy and stability. After verification of our program, we analyze sloshing response characteristics to the fluid height and the excitation amplitude.

This paper describes a full wave analysis of the scattering from electromagnetic absorbers which can be approximated as infinite periodic structure using hybrid finite element method. By introducing fictitious boundaries, equivalent finite region is defined and proper boundary conditions of each boundary are obtained by Floquet theorem. Since higher-order Floquet modes are employed, the method presented in this paper can be readily applied to the periodic structure haying a relatively long period. To reduce difficulty in evaluating the surface integral, the normal component to the surface were represented with the tangential component to the surface. Comparisons of calculated results with analytical or published ones show the validation of the method.

A study on the dynamic ground effect on three-dimensional wings is done using an indirect boundary element method(unsteady panel method). An integral equation is obtained by applying Green's theorem on all surfaces of the fluid domain. Constant strength dipole and source panels arc distributed on a wing's surface. The wake sheet is represented by constant strength dipoles. At each time step, a row of wake panels is assumed to be convected from the trailing edge of the wing. The tip vortex behind wings in dynamic ground effect moves outward. The amplitudes of the aerodynamic coefficients for the wings in dynamic ground effect are augmented much more comparing to the case in static ground effect.

This study carries out a finite difference nonlinear analysis of anisotropic advanced composite plate structures with various layer sequences. In the numerical analysis of various mechanical problems involving complex partial differential equations, the finite difference method (FDM) developed in this study has an advantage over the finite element method in its ability to avoid mesh generation and numerical integration. Many studies in FDM have been made on clamped or simple boundary conditions using merely an energy approach. These approaches cannot be satisfied, however, with pivotal points along the free boundary. Therefore, this study addresses the nonlinear problem of anisotropic plates by adopting a finite difference modeling elimination of pivotal difference points in the case of a free boundary condition. Complex nonlinear behaviors of composite plate structures for various parameters, especially for layer sequences, are analyzed using the proposed approach.

해저가 완만하게 변하는 해역 위를 지나는 파랑의 반사는 무시할 수 있으며 이에 대한 파랑계산 방법으로는 굴절 모델 (서 등, 1989)과 포물형 근사식 모델(서, 1990b)을 들 수 있다. 그러나 해저의 변화가 심해 상당량의 파랑에너지가 반사되는 경우에는 파랑 운동을 지배하는 원시 방정식인 Laplace을 사용하여야 한다.(중략)

This paper presents the indirect boundary integral equation method(BIEM) to analyze 3D moving conductor problem. Instead of an artificial upwind algothm, the proposed method uses a fundamental Green's function which is a particular solution of diffusion equation. Therefore, this method yields a stable and accurate solution regardless of the Peclet number. The indirect BIEM is compared with 3D upwind FEM for a numerical model which has analytic solutions.

The motion response analysis of a submerged elliptic cylinder in waves is presented and the elliptic cylinder is a simplification of the section of submarine in this paper. The method is based on boundary integral method and two-dimensional 3 degree motions are calculated in regular harmonic waves. The fully nonlinear free surface boundary condition is assumed in an numerical domain and this solution is matched along an assumed boundary as a linear solution composed of transient Green function, The large amplitude motions of an elliptic cylinder are directly simulated and effects of wave frequency, wave amplitude and the distance from buoyancy center to gravity center are discussed.
