The scaled-boundary finite element method is a novel semi-analytical technique, combining the advantages of the finite element and the boundary element methods with unique properties of its own. The method works by weakening the governing differential equations in one coordinate direction through the introduction of shape functions, then solving the weakened equations analytically in the other (radial) coordinate direction. These coordinate directions are defined by the geometry of the domain and a scaling centre. This paper presents a general development of the scaled boundary finite-element method for two-dimensional problems where two boundaries of the solution domain are similar. Unlike three-dimensional and axisymmetric problems of the same type, the use of logarithmic solutions of the weakened differential equations is found to be necessary. The accuracy and efficiency of the procedure is demonstrated through two examples. The first of these examples uses the standard finite element method to provide a comparable solution, while the second combines both solution techniques in a single analysis. One significant application of the new technique is the generation of transition super-elements requiring few degrees of freedom that can connect two regions of vastly different levels of discretisation.

In classical higher-order discontinuous boundary element formulation for two-dimensional elastostatics, interpolation functions for different boundary variables (i.e., boundary displacements and tractions) are assumed to be the same. However, there is a derivational relationship between these variables. This paper presents a boundary element formulation, called Mixed Boundary Element Formulation, for two dimensional elastostatic problems in which above mentioned relationship is taking into account. The formulations are performed by using discontinuous first and second-order mixed boundary elements. Based on the formulations presented in this study, two computer softwares are developed and verified through some example problems. The results show that the present formulation is credible.

해저면 바닥에 고정된 수직 원형 실린더에 입사파의 상호작용 문제를 풀기위해, 경계요소법에 의한 수치해석이 3차원 선형포텐셜 이론으로 개발되었다. 경계요소법에 의한 수치해석은 그린함수에 기초하고, 수직원형 실린더 주위의 유체 속도 포텐셜을 위해 적분식을 이용하였다. 경계요소법에 의한 수치해석은 ManCamy and Fuchs(1954), Williams and Mansour(2002)의 해석해와 비교하였고, 그 결과는 정성적으로 잘 일치하고 있음을 확인하였다. 이 수치해석은 앞으로 해안지역에 설치되는 다양한 해양구조물에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Non-singular boundary element method (BEM) codes are developed in acoustics application. The BEM code is then used to calculate unknown boundary surface normal displacements and surface pressures from known exterior near field pressures. And then the calculated surface normal displacements and surface pressures are again applied to the BEM in forward in order to calculate reconstructed field pressures. The initial exterior near field pressures are very well agreed with the later reconstructed field pressures. Only the same number of boundary surface nodes (1178) are used for the initial exterior pressures which are at first calculated by Finite Element Method (FEM) and BEM. Pseudo-inverse technique is, used for the calculation of the unknown boundary surface normal displacements. The structural object is a tuning fork with 128.4 ㎐ resonant. The boundary element is a quadratic hexahedral element (eight nodes per element).

By using the boundary element method, the cahracterization and the circuit modelling of the coplanar waveguide (CPW) discontinuities are performed bvia quasi-static approximation. The capacitive equivalent circuits are obtained by developing the 3-D boundary element method with collocation method. On the triangular patch, the numerical scheme employed the linear basis functions and the analytic solutions of the integrals on the singular points. The capacitive discontinuities of gaps, end-gaps, and open-ends are characterized and the results compared with the conductor backed coplanar waveguides.

도파관(waveguide)은 전자기파를 원하는 방향으로 안내하는 전송선로로 의료기기, 레이더 시스템, 위성 통신 등 다양한 분야에 활용되고 있다. 이러한 도파관의 설계 및 최적화를 위해서는 전자기 수치해석(CEM: Computational Electromagnetics)이 필수적이다. 수치해석 기법의 하나인 유한요소법(FEM: Finite Element Method)은 도파관과 같은 닫힌 영역 내부의 전자기 문제를 해결하는데 효율적이며 이를 적용하기 위해서는 계산영역을 한정시키기 위한 경계조건이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 계산영역 밖으로 나가는 전자파의 반사를 최소화하기 위한 흡수경계조건(ABC: Absorbing Boundary Condition)과 주 모드 뿐만 아니라 고차 모드까지 흡수할 수 있는 도파관 포트 경계조건(WPBC: Waveguide Port Boundary Condition)을 각각 적용하여 2/D 및 3/D 도파관 구조에 대한 전자기 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 이후, 대표적인 전자파 상용 소프트웨어인 HFSS와의 결과 비교를 통해 해석의 정확성을 검증하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 WPBC를 적용하면 ABC보다 더 작은 해석 영역으로 구조 해석이 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다.

The element-free Galerkin (EFG) method is one of meshless methods, which is an efficient method of modeling problems of fluid or solid mechanics with complex boundary shapes and large changes in boundary conditions. This paper discusses the theory of the EFG method and its applications to modeling of groundwater flow. In the EFG method, shape functions are constructed based on the moving least square (MLS) approximation, which requires only set of nodes. The EFG method can eliminate time-consuming mesh generation procedure with irregular shaped boundaries because it does not require any elements. The coupled EFG-FEM technique was introduced to treat Dirichlet boundary conditions. A computer code EFGG was developed and tested for the problems of steady-state and transient groundwater flow in homogeneous or heterogeneous aquifers. The accuracy of solutions by the EFG method was similar to that by the FEM. The EFG method has the advantages in convenient node generation and flexible boundary condition implementation.

An efficient boundary-based optimization technique is applied in the numerical computation of free surface flow problems, by reformulating them into the equivalent optimal shape design problems. While the sensitivity in the boundary method has mainly been calculated using the boundary element method (BEM) as an analysis means, the finite element method (FEM) is used in this study because of its popularity and easy-to-use features. The advantage of boundary method is that the design velocity vectors are needed only on the boundary, not over the whole domain. As such, a determination of the complicated domain design velocity field, which is necessary in the domain method, is eliminated, thereby making the process easy to implement and efficient. Seepage and supercavitating flow problem are chosen to illustrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents an application of an impedance boundary condition to 3D vector finite element analysis of a multi-port cylidrical microwave cavity using Snell's law. Computing memory benefits and computing time reduction are obtained from this method compared with the conventional finite element method(FEM). To verify the method, a high permittivity scatterer in free space is analyzed and compared with the results of conventional (FEM). In addition, this method has been analyzed several types of cavities, including water load, to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the program.
