An efficient numerical method to solve the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is developed. A fully implicit time advancement is employed to avoid the CFL(Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy) restriction, where the Crank-Nicholson discretization is used for both the diffusion and convection terms. Based on a block LU decomposition, velocity-pressure decoupling is achieved in conjunction with the approximate factorization. Main emphasis is placed on the additional decoupling of the intermediate velocity components with only n th time step velocity The temporal second-order accuracy is Preserved with the approximate factorization without any modification of boundary conditions. Since the decoupled momentum equations are solved without iteration, the computational time is reduced significantly. The present decoupling method is validated by solving the turbulent minimal channel flow unit.

In two-dimensional incompressible flows, a preconditioning technique called Hierarchical Iterative Procedure (HIP) has been implemented on a SUPG finite element formulation. By using the SUPG formulation, one can escape from the LBB constraint hence, achieving an equal order formulation. In this paper, we increased the order of interpolation up to cubic. The conjugate gradient squared (CGS) method is used for the outer iteration, and the HIP for the preconditioning for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation. The hierarchical elements have been used to achieve a higher order accuracy in fluid flow analyses, but a proper and efficient iterative procedure for higher order finite element formulation has not been available, thus far. The numerical results by the present HIP for the lid driven cavity flow showed the present procedure to be stable, very efficient, and useful in flow analyses, in conjunction with hierarchical elements.

Structural and dynamic analyses of inducer and impeller for an oxidizer turbopump are peformed to investigate the safety level of strength and vibration at a design point. Due to high rotational speed of turbopump, effects of centrifugal forces are carefully considered in the structural analysis. Hydrodynamic pressure is also considered as an external force applied to inducer and impeller blades. A three-dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM) is used for linear and nonlinear structural analyses with modified Newton-Raphson iteration method. After the nonlinear trim solution is obtained from the structural analysis, dynamic characteristics are obtained as a function of rotational speed from the linearized eigenvalue analysis at an equilibrium position. According to the results of numerical analysis, the safety margins of strength and vibration resonances are sufficient enough for safe operation within the requited life cycle.

In this paper, we consider the smoothing Newton method for the nonlinear complementarity problems with $P_0$-function. The proposed algorithm is based on a new smoothing function and it needs only to solve one linear system of equations and perform one line search per iteration. Under the condition that the solution set is nonempty and bounded, the proposed algorithm is proved to be convergent globally. Furthermore, the local superlinearly(quadratic) convergence is established under suitable conditions. Preliminary numerical results show that the proposed algorithm is very promising.

We consider multi-step quasi-Newton methods for unconstrained optimization. These methods were introduced by Ford and Moghrabi [1, 2], who showed how interpolating curves could be used to derive a generalization of the Secant Equation (the relation normally employed in the construction of quasi-Newton methods). One of the most successful of these multi-step methods makes use of the current approximation to the Hessian to determine the parameterization of the interpolating curve in the variable-space and, hence, the generalized updating formula. In this paper, we investigate new parameterization techniques to the approximate Hessian, in an attempt to determine a better Hessian approximation at each iteration and, thus, improve the numerical performance of such algorithms.

Recently, for the development of vehicle structures and components there is a tendency to increase using numerical simulation methods compared with practical tests for the estimation of the fatigue strength. In this study, an integrated powerful methodology is suggested for fatigue strength evaluation through development of the interface program to integrate dynamic analysis quasi-static stress analysis and fatigue analysis, which were so far used independently. To verify the presented evaluation method, a single and zigzag bump run test, 4-post road load simulation and driving durability test have been performed. The prediction results show a good agreement between analysis and test. This research indicates that the integrated life prediction methodology can be used as a reliable design tool in the pre-prototype and prototype development stage, to reduce the expense and time of design iteration.

This paper investigates the natural modes of moduled floating structure with module unit connector. As an example structure, a floating parking place($120m{\times}60m$) is considered. In the evaluation of natural modes, numerical equations are formulated by FEM(Finite Element Method) and the natural modes are solved by the subspace iteration method. By comparing results for various stiffness of module unit connector, the effect of stiffness of unit connector is examined.

An efficient method of constructing $textsc{k}$-minimal path sets to evaluate the reliability of a flow network is presented. The network is considered to be in a functioning state if it can transmit a maximum flow which is greater than or equal to a specified amount of flow, $textsc{k}$say, and a $textsc{k}$-minimal path set is a minimal set of branches that satisfies the given flow constraint. In this paper, under the assumption that minimal path sets of the network are known, we generate composite paths by adding only a minimal set of branches at each iteration to get $textsc{k}$-minimal path sets after possibly the fewest composition, and compute maximum flow of composite paths using only minimal path sets. Thereby we greatly reduce the possible occurrence of redundant composite paths throughout the process and efficiently compute the maximum flow of composite paths generated. Numerical examples illustrate the method.

Limit analysis has been rendered versatile in many problems such as structural problems and metal forming problems. In metal forming analysis, a slip-line method and an upper bound method approach to limit solutions is considered as the most challenging areas. In the present work, a general algorithm for limit solutions of plastic flow is developed with the use of finite element limit analysis. The algorithm deals with a generalized Holder inequality, a duality theorem, and a combined smoothing and successive approximation in addition to a general procedure for finite element analysis. The algorithm is robust such that from any initial trial solution, the first iteration falls into a convex set which contains the exact solution(s) of the problem. The idea of the algorithm for limit solution is extended from rigid/perfectly-plastic materials to work-hardening materials by the nature of the limit formulation, which is also robust with numerically stable convergence and highly efficient computing time.
