This paper presents an efficient contact detection algorithm for the plane elastostatic contact problem of the boundary element method(BEM). The data structures of the boundary element method are dissected to develop an efficient contact detection algorithm. This algorithm is consists of three parts as global searching, local searching and contact relation setting to reflect the corner node problem. Contact master and slave type elements are used in global searching step and quad-tree is selected as the spatial decomposition method in local searching step. To set up contact relation equations, global contact searching is conducted at node level and local searching is performed at element level. To verify the efficiency of the proposed contact detection algorithm of BEM, numerical example is presented.

This paper describes numerical analysis of eddy current testing for tube with axi-symmetric defect using boundary element method. In this ECT(Eddy Current Testing) numerical analysis. BEM and FEM are used to compare their characteristics and results of ECT, respectively BEM is easier than FEM to design geometrically complex domain because in case of BEM, domain is divided into segments or elements, but in case of FEM, domain is divided into small finite triangular or quadrilateral elements. For this reason asymmetry defect is used for this BE numerical analysis. As a result, the similar result can be obtained through both numerical analyses, and BEM can be applied to the numerical analysis of ECT.

In this study, analysis for fatigue crack propagation behavior of interface and aroud interface under rotary bending stress. Though K values are nearly the same in around interface by BEM 2-D, fatigue crack propagated H.A.Z. Around Interface crack propagation speed is m=0.678 in H.A.Z by Paris' law. In this case(friction welded materials: STS304, SM15C), fatigue crack growth is considered SM15C metal microstructure and elastic flow from this result. Result is more metal microstructute dependence than stress dependence by analysis (BEM 3-D, BEM 2-D) and fatigue crack propagation

An H-Plane waveguide component with arbitrary shape is analyzed using finite element method(FEM) Cooperated with boundary element method(BEM). For the application of BEM in the waveguide structure, a ray representation of the waveguide Green's function is used. This technique is applied to the analysis of the waveguide inductive junction. The results are compared with the results of the mode matching technique. The comparison shows good agreement.

Electromagnetic wave scattering from the two-dimensional scatterer was calculated by the Boundary Element Method (BEM). For the circular cylindrical scatterer, the BEM solutions agreed very well with the analytic solutions. The rectangular dielectric cylinder was also treated in the case of the lossy scatterer and the lossy medium.

Most numerical techniques such as FEM, BEM, and MOM are able to analize electromagnetic scattering problems from arbitrary shapes. Although these methods could be applied to compute electromagnetic scattering problems in frequency domain, it was limited for electrodynamic problem in time domain. In this paper, electromagnetic scattering problem from Fresnel zone plate lens are considered. Some numerical results computed by TLM are compared with Kirchhoff's approximation and PO method.

Applications of Brazing in the studying fields such as High-Speed Machining are very increasing in various industry fields. Therefore, Applying to the fracture mechanics by numerical analysis method is very important to analyse the crack problem Dissimilar Materials in Brazed Interface. In this study, Stress intensity Factor (S.I.F) is analysed to investigate crack behavior on the crack tip of dissimilar materials in brazed interface such as a Hardmetal and a HSS by two dimensional(2-D) Boundary Element Method (BEM). Kelvin's solution was used as a fundamental solution in BEM analysis and stress extrapolation method was used to determine Stress Intensity Factor.

In this study, stress analysis using Boundary Element Method (BEM) was carried to investigate stress distribution in the brazing joint between a Hardmetal and a HSS. The two models were proposed to analyze the stress singularity in the interfaces of the brazing joint. The material type, thickness of the filler metal and the length of the vertical brazing adhesive are considered in the BEM analysis. As results, the peak point of the stress is founded to be in the lower interface of the brazed joint. It should be noted that the maximum stress of the peak point is being affected by the thickness and length of the brazing joint.

A BEM is highly efficient method in the sense of economic computation. However, boundary integration is not easy for the complex and moving surface e.g. in a rotating blade. Thus, Kirchhoff surface is designed in an effort to overcome the difficulty resulting from complex boundary conditions. A Kirchhoff surface is a fictitious surface which envelopes acoustic sources of main concern. Acoustic sources may be distributed on each Kirchhoff surface element depending on its acoustic characteristics. In this study, an axial fan is assumed to have loading noise as a dominant source. Dipole sources can be computed based on the FW-H equation. Acoustic field is then computed by changing Kirchhoff surface on which near-field is implemented, to analyze the effect of Kirchhoff surface on it.

In this study, By employing two dimensional(2-D) Boundary Element Method(BEM) stress analysis was carried to investigate stress distributions on the brazing joint of a Hardmetal and a HSS. Two model was proposed to analyze stress singularity in brazed interface. The stress results from the BEM were considered influence of the kind of materials , thickness of filled metal and length of vertical brazing adhesive. From those obtained results , the peak point of stress was founded in the lower part of two interface was made by brazing. As the thickness and length changed, the maximum stress tended to change in the peak point.
