A multi-layered brick element fur the finite element method is developed for analyzing the three-dim-ensionally layered composite structures subjected to both thermal and mechanical boundary conditions. The element has eight nodes with one degree of freedom for the temperature and three for the display-ements at each node, and can contain arbitrary number of layers with different material properties with-in the element; the conventional element should contain one material within an element. Thus the total number of nodes and elements, which are needed to analyze the multi-layered composite structures, can be tremendously reduced. In solving the global equation, a partitioning technique is used to obtain the temperature and the displacements which are caused by both the mechanical boundary conditions and temperature distributions. The results by using the developed element are compared wish the commercial package, ANSYS and the conventional finite element methods, and they are in good agreement. It is also shown that the Number of nodes and elements can be tremendously reduced using the element without losing the numerical accuracies.

This study is the bending analysis of rectangular plates with 4-sides simply supported by Finite Element Method using substructuring technique. In finite element method, as the more number of finite element, the more dimension of matrix, it is difficult to obtain accuracy solution. In this paper substructuring technique is applied to finite element method in order to reduce the dimension of matrix according to the number of finite element mesh. To validate finite element method using substructuring technique, deflections and moments of rectangular plates by that method is compared with those of references. Considering the symmetry of the plate and load, one fourth of plate is analyzed. Operating time and the error of solutions according to the number of finite element mesh and substructure are compared with each other.

In this paper, finite element method is applied to solve boundary control problem governed by elliptic variational inequality with an infinite number of variables. First, we introduce some important features of the finite element method, boundary control problem governed by elliptic variational inequalities with an infinite number of variables in the case of the control and observation are on the boundary is introduced. We prove the existence of the solution by using the augmented Lagrangian multipliers method. A triangular type finite element method is used.

In this paper, we investigated the flow of an incompressible viscous fluid past a sphere which is oscillated one-dimensionally over flow regimes including laminar flow at Reynolds number of 100, 200 and Strouhal number of up to 5000. In order to analyze flow and estimate critical Strouhal number, we introduce three-dimensional vortex element method. With this method, separation only appears in decreasing velocity region during the high Strouhal numbers. We find out that vorticity distribution around sphere is proportionl to the Strouhal number. And we can decide that low Strouhal number is below 100, high Strouhal number is above 500 from many results. Thus the critical Strouhal number(St) effected to the flow field is expected to be 100

In [7, 8] they introduced a new finite element method for accurate numerical solutions of Poisson equations with corner singularities. They consider the Poisson equations with homogeneous boundary conditions, compute the finite element solutions using standard FEM and use the extraction formula to compute the stress intensity factor(s), then they posed new PDE with a regular solution by imposing the nonhomogeneous boundary condition using the computed stress intensity factor(s), which converges with optimal speed. From the solution they could get an accurate solution just by adding the singular part. Their algorithm involves an iteration and the iteration number depends on the acuracy of stress intensity factors, which is usually obtained by extraction formula which use the finite element solutions computed by standard Finite Element Method. In this paper we investigate the dependence of the iteration number on the convergence of stress intensity factors and give a way to reduce the iteration number, together with some numerical experiments.

The element reduction of a multiset S is to reduce the number of repetitions of an element in S by a predetermined number. Privacy-preserving element reduction of a multiset is an important tool in private computation over multisets. It can be used by itself or by combination with other private set operations. Recently, an efficient privacy-preserving element reduction method was proposed by Kissner and Song [7]. In this paper, we point out a mathematical flaw in their polynomial representation that is used for the element reduction protocol and provide its correction. Also we modify their over-threshold set-operation protocol, using an element reduction with the corrected representation, which is used to output the elements that appear over the predetermined threshold number of times in the multiset resulting from other privacy-preserving set operations.

The computation size and accuracy in the boundary element method are mutually coupled and strongly influenced by the formulations in boundary discretization and integration. This aspect is studied numerically for two-dimensional elastodynamic problems in the frequency-domain. The localized nature of error is observed in the computed results. A boundary discretization criterion is examined. The number of integration points in the boundary integration is studied to find the optimum number for accuracy. Useful information is obtained concerning the optimization in boundary discretization and integration.

Numerical algorithms for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations using P2P1 finite element are compared regarding the eigenvalues of matrices. P2P1 element allocates pressure at vertex nodes and velocity at both vertex and mid nodes. Therefore, compared to the P1P1 element, the number of pressure variables in the P2P1 element decreases to 1/4 in the case of two-dimensional problems and to 1/8 in the three-dimensional problems. Fully-implicit-integrated, semi-implicit- integrated and semi-segregated finite element formulations using P2P1 element are compared in terms of elapsed time, accuracy and eigenvlue distribution (condition number). For the comparison,they have been applied to the well-known benchmark problems. That is, the two-dimensional unsteady flows around a fixed circular cylinder and decaying vortex flow are adopted to check spatial accuracy.

If we use a third order approximation for the displacement function of beam element in finite element methods, finite element solutions of beams yield nodal displacement values matching to beam theory results to have no connection with the number increasing of elements of beams. It is assumed that, as the member displacement value at beam nodes are correct, the calculation procedure of beam element stiffness matrix have no numerical errors. A the member forces are calculated by the equations of $\frac{-M}{EI}=\frac{{d^2}{\omega}}{dx^2}\;and\;\frac{dM}{dx}=V$, the member forces at nodes of beams have errors in a moment and a shear magnitudes in the case of smaller number of element. The nodal displacement value of plate subject to the lateral load converge to the exact values according to the increase of the number of the element. So it is assumed that the procedures of plate element stiffness matrix calculations has a error in the fundamental assumptions. The beam methods for the high accuracy ratio solution Is also applied to the plate analysis. The method of reducing a error ratio of member forces and element stiffness matrix in the finite element methods is studied. Results of study were as follows. 1. The matrixes of EI[B] and [K] in the equations of M(x)=EI[B]{q} and M(x) = [K]{q}+{Q} of beams are same. 2. The equations of $\frac{-M}{EI}=\frac{{d^2}{\omega}}{dx^2}\;and\;\frac{dM}{dx}=V$ for the member forces have a error ratio in a finite element method of uniformly loaded structures, so equilibrium node loads {Q} must be substituted in the equation of member forces as the numerical examples of this paper revealed.
