The good features of the analytic function expansion nodal (AFEN) method are utilized to develop a practical scheme jot the multigroup diffusion problems, in combination with the polynomial expansion nodal (PEN) method. The thermal group fluxes exhibiting strong gradients are solved by the AFEN method[1-6], while the fast group fluxes that are smoother than the thermal group fuzes are solved by the PEN method[7-9]. The scheme is applied to a MOX-fuel loaded core with good results.

The velocity fields can be composed by nodal points using shape function. Forging load and deformed profile are obtained by minimizing total energy consumption rate which is function of unknown velocities at each nodal points. The velocity and stremiline distribution can also be investigated at the deformation profile. The effectiveness of proposed method in this paper is demonstrated by comparing with those of FEM and experiment, that is the results of upset forging problem. Obtained results are compared with FEM and experiment and fairly good agreement is found between them.

To establish direct multipropagation through organogenesis from nodal explants of Anoectochilus formosanus Hayata, the nodes were cultured on LS medium containing various concentrations of 6-benzyladenine(BA). High plant regeneration and adventitious bud formation were obtained from supplemented with 4.0mg/l of BA. Plant height was promoted by adding 0.3% activated charcoal. Plantlet regeneration capacity from nodes was depended on nodal parts on the stem, upper position was the best comparing with intermediate and lower.

The interface element method for non-matching FEM meshes is extended using stabilized nodal integration. Two non-matching meshes are shown to be joined together compatibly, with the aid of the moving least square approximation. Using stabilized nodal integration, the interface element method is able to satisfy the patch test, which guarantees the convergence of the method.

Let X be a nodal complete intersection 3-fold defined by a hypersurface in ℙ⁵ of degree n and a smooth quadratic hypersurface in ℙ⁵ . Then we show that X is factorial if it has at most n² - n + 1 nodes and contains no 2-planes, where n = 3, 4.

A previously proposed finite element formulation method is refined and modified to generate a new type of elements. The method is based on selecting a set of general solution modes for element formulation. The constant strain modes and higher order modes are selected and the formulation method is designed to ensure that the element will pass the basic single element test, which in turn ensures the passage of the basic patch test. If the element is to pass the higher order patch test also, the element stiffness matrix is in general asymmetric. The element stiffness matrix depends only on a nodal displacement matrix and a nodal force matrix. A symmetric stiffness matrix can be obtained by either modifying the nodal displacement matrix or the nodal force matrix. It is shown that both modifications lead to the same new element, which is demonstrated through numerical examples to be more robust than an assumed stress hybrid element in plane stress application. The method of formulation can also be used to arrive at the conforming displacement and hybrid stress formulations. The convergence of the latter two is explained from the point of view of the proposed method.

In this study, an adaptive node generation procedure in the radial point interpolation method is proposed. Since we set the initial configuration of nodes by subdivision of background cell, abrupt changes of inter-nodal distance between higher and lower error regions are unavoidable. This unpreferable nodal spacing induces additional errors. To obtain the smoothy nodal configuration, it's regenerated by local Delaunay triangulation algorithm This technique was originally developed to generate a set of well-shaped triangles and tetrahedra. To demonstrate the performance of proposed scheme, the results of making optimal nodal configuration with adaptive refinement method are investigated for stress concentration problems.

This paper presents an effective pedagogical method for nodal analysis in linear circuit. In the proposed method, basic equations are built only for passive elements and independent current sources. And then, the basic equations are modified by considering other sources such as voltage sources and dependent current sources. In the proposed method, the equations are presented in form of a matrix and a vector of which elements are built systematically by considering every element in a circuit one by one. This make the proposed method easy to apply to intricately composed circuit and easy to solve the final simultaneous equations and easy to realize as computer program for nodal analysis and easy to memorize compared to the conventional method.

A method based on the lower-bound theorem of limit analysis is presented for the capacity assessment of nodal zones in strut-and-tie models. The idealized geometry of the nodal zones is formed by the intersection of effective widths of the framing struts and ties. The stress distribution is estimated by dividing the nodal zones into constant stress triangles separated by lines of stress discontinuity. The strength adequacy is verified by comparing the biaxial stress field in each triangle with the corresponding failure criteria. The approach has been implemented in a computer-based strut-and-tie tool called CAST (Computer-Aided Strut-and-Tie). An application example is also presented to illustrate the approach.
