유한체적법(Finite Volume Method)은 기계공학분야에서 열, 유체현상을 수치해석하는 방법으로 널리 쓰이고 있다. 열전달(Heat Transfer)문제의 지배방정식은 에너지방정식(Energy equation)으로써 그 중 순수 전도문제의 경우 지배방정식은 라플라스(Laplace)방정식의 형태를 띄고 있다. 전계해석의 지배방정식 역시 라플라스 방정식의 형태이다. 수학적으로 동일한 지배방정식을 갖는 다는 것은 물리적으로 같은 현상을 나타내고 있다는 것을 의미하며 이러한 점에 착안을 하여 본 논문에서는 유한체적법을 사용하여 2차원 모델에 대한 전계해석을 수행하였다.

이 논문에서는 Diruchlet 경계 조건을 갖는 비선형 타원형 방정식 $-{\Delta}u+g(u)=f(x)$의 해의 존재에 대한 연구를 하였다. 존재하는 해의 다중성을 증명하기 위하여 임계점 이론과 롤의 정리를 사용하였으며, 대응되는 범함수에 따라서 방정식의 해와 임계점이 동시에 나타난다는 정리를 이용하였다. 이 때 $g(u)=bu^+-au^-$으로 나타날 때 외력항 (방정식의 우변)의 상수로 주어지는 경우 적어도 두 개의 해가 존재한다는 것을 증명하였다. 만약 우변(외력항)의 상수가 음수이거나 0인 경우이 방정식의 해가 존재하지 않거나 자명한 해만 존재하기 때문에 상수는 양수인 것으로 가정하였다.

In this paper, a algorithm is proposed, which is applicable to the transient analysis of diffusion equations by combined use of the Laplace transform and the finite element method. The proposed method removes the time terms using the Laplace transform and then solves the associated equation with the finite element method. The solution which is solved at frequency domain is transformed into time domain by use of the Laplace inversion. To verify the proposed algorithm, a heat conduction problem is analysed. And the solution showed a good agreement with analytic solution. Because the time-step method is not needed, the proposed method is very useful in solving various kinds of diffusion equations.

The success of Newton's Gravitational Theory has influenced the theory of capillarity, beginning in the early nineteenth century, by providing a major model of molecular attraction. He used the equation of the attraction of spheroids, which is expressed by second order partial differential equations, to utilize this analogy as the same kind of a particle's force, between gravitational, refractive force of light, and capillarity. The solution of the differential equation corresponds to the geometrical figure of the vessel and the contact angle which is made by the fluid. Unknown abstract functions $\varphi(f)$ represent interaction forces between molecules, giving their potential functions. By conducting several kinds of experimental conditions, it was found that the height of the ascending fluid in the tube is inversely proportional to the rayon of the tube or the distance of the plate. This model is an essential element in the theory of capillarity. Laplace has brought Newtonian mechanics to completion, which relates to the standard model of gravitational theory. Laplace-Young's equation of capillarity is applicable to minimal surfaces in mathematics, to surface tensional phenomena in physics, and to soap bubble experiments.

프랙탈 이송확산방정식은 정수 차수의 미분연산자로 구성된 고전적인 이송확산방정식과 비교하여 프랙탈 차수의 미분연산자로 구성된 보다 상위개념의 방정식으로써 정의된다. 지금까지의 프랙탈 이송확산방정식은 추계학적인 기법을 동원하여 푸리에-라플라스 공간에서 주로 해석되었으나, 본 연구에서는 실제 공간에서 유한차분개념을 도입하여 보다 직접적으희 하천에서의 오염물 이송확산에 관한 지배방정식을 유도하였다. 이러한 개념의 유도방법은 프랙탈 차수 및 관련 확산계수의 물리적인 추정에 관한 실마리를 제공할 수 있다. 고전적인 이송확산방정식과는 달리 프랙탈 이송확산방정식은 실제 하천에서 관측되는 오염물의 시간-농도 분포곡선의 왜곡현상과 분포곡선의 전후방부 농도를 보다 실제에 가깝게 모의할 수 있을 것으로 기대되어진다.

A numerical method has been developed for studying the dynamics of a flexible cylinder in a coaxial cylindrical duct, immersed in inviscid flow. The unsteady inviscid fluid-dynamic force acting on the oscillating cylinder has been estimated more rigorously by means of a spectral collocation method without simplification of governing equations. This numerical approach is applicable to the system haying wider annular gap and/or shorter length of cylinder as compared to existing potential theory. The governing equation of the unsteady flow was obtained from Laplace equation. The equation of cylinder motion coupled with the fluid motion was discretized by Galerkin's method, from which the dynamic behaviour of the system has been evaluated. The effect of the length of the cylinder and the annular gap on the critical flour velocity, where the system loses stability by buckling, was investigated. To validate the numerical method, the potential flow theory developed by Hobson based on thin film approximation has been improved. Typical results of the present numerical theory on the dynamics and stability of the system are compared with those of available existing theory and the present approximate results. Good agreement was found between the results. It was also found that a nondimensional critical flow velocity becomes larger as increasing the annular gap and decreasing the length of cylinder.

The stress and displacement fields at the crack tip were studied during the unsteady propagation of a mode III crack in a direction that was different from the property graduation direction in functionally graded materials (FGMs). The property graduation in FGMs was assumed based on the linearly varying shear modulus under a constant density and the exponentially varying shear modulus and density. To obtain the solution of the harmonic function, the general partial differential equation of the dynamic equilibrium equation was transformed into a Laplace equation. Based on the Laplace equation, the stress and displacement fields, which depended on the time rates of change in the crack tip speed and stress intensity factor, were obtained through an asymptotic analysis. Using the stress and displacement fields, the effects of the angled property variation on the stresses, displacements, and stress intensity factors are discussed.

This paper is for the first essential study on the development of unified finite element formulations for solving problems related to the dynamics/thermoelastics behavior of solids. In the first part of formulations, the finite element method is based on the introduction of a new quantity defined as heat displacement, which allows the heat conduction equations to be written in a form equivalent to the equation of motion, and the equations of coupled thermoelasticity to be written in a unified form. The equations obtained are used to express a variational formulation which, together with the concept of generalized coordinates, yields a set of differential equations with the time as an independent variable. Using the Laplace transform, the resulting finite element equations are described in the transform domain. In the second, the Laplace transform is applied to both the equation of heat conduction derived in the first part and the equations of motions and their corresponding boundary conditions, which is referred to the transformed equation. Selections of interpolation functions dependent on only the space variable and an application of the weighted residual method to the coupled equation result in the necessary finite element matrices in the transformed domain. Finally, to prove the validity of two approaches, a comparison with one finite element equation and the other is made term by term.

The fractal advection-diffusion equation (ADE) is a generalization of the classical AdE in which the second-order derivative is replaced with a fractal order derivative. While the fractal ADE have been analyzed with a stochastic process In the Fourier and Laplace space so far, in this study a fractal ADE for describing solute transport in rivers is derived with a finite difference scheme in the real space. This derivation with a finite difference scheme gives the hint how the fractal derivative order and fractal diffusion coefficient can be estimated physically In contrast to the classical ADE, the fractal ADE is expected to be able to provide solutions that resemble the highly skewed and heavy-tailed time-concentration distribution curves of contaminant plumes observed in rivers.

This paper reports that the Lambert W function applies to a non-iterative design of minimum mean square-error scalar quantizers for a Laplacian source. Specifically, it considers a non-iterative design algorithm for optimum quantizers for a Laplacian source; it finds that the solution of the recursive nonlinear equation in the non-iterative design is elegantly expressed in term of the principal branch of the Lambert W function in a closed form; and it proves that the non-iterative algorithm applies only to exponential or Laplacian sources. The contribution of the paper is in the reduction of the time needed for the design and the increased accuracy in resulting quantization points and thresholds, because the algorithm is non-iterative and the Lambert W function can be evaluated as accurately as desired. Also, numerical results show how optimal quantization distortion converges monotonically to the Panter-Dite constant and help derive an approximation formula for the key parameters of optimum quantizers.
