Unfolded Drawings and Views for Irregular Spiral Surface Given Boundary Equations Based on CAD

Taking spiral chute as example, a method of unfolded drawings and views about irregular spiral surface is introduced. The surface is undevelopable and too complicated to get its views or to draw unfolded drawings by manual method. In this article, a series of the boundary equations of the spiral chute are derived by the movement rule of coal flow, and the solid and views of the spiral chute are generated based on redevelopment of SolidWorks. Unfolded drawing is drawn applying triangular development principle. The views and unfolded drawings not only are produced automatically, precisely and parameterized, but also involve more technological information. So it has an important significance on the irregular spiral surface＇s developments and processing.

The Regularity of Solutions to Mixed Boundary Value Problems of Second-Order Elliptic Equations with Small Angles

This paper considers the regularity of solutions to mixed boundary value problems in small-angle regions for elliptic equations. By constructing a specific barrier function, we proved that under the assumption of sufficient regularity of boundary conditions and coefficients, as long as the angle is sufficiently small, the regularity of the solution to the mixed boundary value problem of the second-order elliptic equation can reach any order.

NOVEL REGULARIZED BOUNDARY INTEGRAL EQUATIONS FOR POTENTIAL PLANE PROBLEMS

The universal practices have been centralizing on the research of regularization to the direct boundary integal equations （DBIEs）. The character is elimination of singularities by using the simple solutions. However, up to now the research of regularization to the first kind integral equations for plane potential problems has never been found in previous literatures. The presentation is mainly devoted to the research on the regularization of the singular boundary integral equations with indirect unknowns. A novel view and idea is presented herein, in which the regularized boundary integral equations with indirect unknowns without including the Cauchy principal value （CPV） and Hadamard-finite-part （HFP） integrals are established for the plane potential problems. With some numerical results, it is shown that the better accuracy and higher efficiency, especially on the boundary, can be achieved by the present system.

Computational model for short-fiber composites with eigenstrain formulation of boundary integral equations

A computational model is proposed for short-fiber reinforced materials with the eigenstrain formulation of the boundary integral equations （BIE） and solved with the newly developed boundary point method （BPM）. The model is closely derived from the concept of the equivalent inclusion Of Eshelby tensors. Eigenstrains are iteratively determined for each short-fiber embedded in the matrix with various properties via the Eshelby tensors, which can be readily obtained beforehand either through analytical or numerical means. As unknown variables appear only on the boundary of the solution domain, the solution scale of the inhomogeneity problem with the model is greatly reduced. This feature is considered significant because such a traditionally time-consuming problem with inhomogeneity can be solved most cost-effectively compared with existing numerical models of the FEM or the BEM. The numerical examples are presented to compute the overall elastic properties for various short-fiber reinforced composites over a representative volume element （RVE）, showing the validity and the effectiveness of the proposed computational modal and the solution procedure.

Analytical Solution of Boundary Integral Equations for 2-D Steady Linear Wave Problems

Based on the Fourier transform, the analytical solution of boundary integral equations formulated for the complex velocity of a 2-D steady linear surface flow is derived. It has been found that before the radiation condition is imposed,free waves appear both far upstream and downstream. In order to cancel the free waves in far upstream regions, the eigensolution of a specific eigenvalue, which satisfies the homogeneous boundary integral equation, is found and superposed to the analytical solution. An example, a submerged vortex, is used to demonstrate the derived analytical solution. Furthermore,an analytical approach to imposing the radiation condition in the numerical solution of boundary integral equations for 2-D steady linear wave problems is proposed.

Boundary integral equations for dynamic rupture propagation on vertical complex fault system in half-space:Theory

The boundary integral equation method （BIEM） is now widely used in numerical studies on earthquake rupture dynamics, and is proved to be a powerful tool to deal with problems on complex fault system. However, since this method heavily lies on the specific forms of Green＇s function and only the Green＇s function in full-space has a closed analytic expression, it is usually limited to a full-space medium. In this study, as a first step to extend this method to an arbitrary complex fault system in half-space, the boundary integral equations （BIEs） for dynamic strike-slip on vertical complex fault system in half-space are derived based on exact Green＇s function for isotropic and homogeneous half-space. Effect of the geometry of the complex fault system are dealt with carefully. Final BIEs is composed of two parts： contribution from full-space, which has been thoroughly investigated by Aochi and his co-workers by using the Green＇s function for full-space, and that from free surface, which is studied in detail in this study.

It provides the fundamental theories for the application of BEM. A numerical example is given for clamped, simply supported and free boundary conditions. The results obtained are satisfactory as compared with the analytical methods.

BOUNDARY INTEGRAL EQUATIONS OF UNIQUE SOLUTIONS IN ELASTICITY

The properties of the fundamental solution are derived in linear elastostatics. These properties are used to show that the conventional displacement and traction boundary integral equations yield non-unique displacement solutions in a traction boundary value problem. The condition for the existence of unique displacement solutions is proposed for the traction boundary value problem. The degrees of freedom of the displacement solution are removed by the condition to obtain the boundary integral equations of unique solutions for the traction boundary value problems. Numerical example is presented to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the present equations.

Approximate Formulation and Numerical Solution for Hypersingular Boundary Integral Equations in Plane Elasticity

Based on the fact that the singular boundary integrals in the sense of Cauchy principal value can be represented approximately by the mean values of two companion nearly singular boundary integrals, a vary general approach was developed in the paper. In the approach, the approximate formulation before discretization was constructed to cope with the difficulties encountered in the corner treatment in the formulations of hypersingular boundary integral equations. This makes it possible to solve the hypersingular boundary integral equation numerically in a non regularized form and in a local manner by using conforming C 0 quadratic boundary elements and standard Gaussian quadratures similar to those employed in the conventional displacement BIE formulations. The approximate formulation is very convenient to use because the corner information is comprised naturally in the representations of those approximate integrals. Numerical examples in plane elasticity show that with the present approach, the compatible or better results can be achieved in comparison with those of the conventional BIE formulations.

SIMILARITY SOLUTIONS OF BOUNDARY LAYER EQUATIONS FOR A SPECIAL NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID IN A SPECIAL COORDINATE SYSTME

Two dimensional equations of steady motion for third order fluids are expressed in a special coordinate system generated by the potential flow corresponding to an inviscid fluid. For the inviscid flow around an arbitrary object, the streamlines are the phi-coordinates and velocity potential lines are psi-coordinates which form an orthogonal curvilinear set of coordinates. The outcome, boundary layer equations, is then shown to be independent of the body shape immersed into the flow. As a first approximation,assumption that second grade terms are negligible compared to viscous and third grade terms. Second grade terms spoil scaling transformation which is only transformation leading to similarity solutions for third grade fluid. By using Lie group methods,infinitesimal generators of boundary layer equations are calculated. The equations are transformed into an ordinary differential system. Numerical solutions of outcoming nonlinear differential equations are found by using combination of a Runge-Kutta algorithm and shooting technique.

RESTRICTED NONLINEAR APPROXIMATION AND SINGULAR SOLUTIONS OF BOUNDARY INTEGRAL EQUATIONS

This paper studies several problems , which are potentially relevant for the construction of adaptive numerical schemes. First, biorthogonal spline wavelets on [0,1] are chosen as a starting point for characterizations of functions in Besom spaces B(?)(0,1) with 0<σ<∞ and (1+σ)-1<γ<∞. Such function spaces are known to be related to nonlinear approximation. Then so called restricted nonlinear approximation procedures with respect to Sobolev space norms are considered. Besides characterization results Jackson type estimates for various tree-type and tresholding algorithms are investigated. Finally known approximation results for geometry induced singularity functions of boundary integeral equations are combined with the characterization results for restricted nonlinear approximation to show Besov space regularity results.

Finite-difference time-domain modeling of curved material interfaces by using boundary condition equations method

To deal with the staircase approximation problem in the standard finite-difference time-domain（FDTD） simulation,the two-dimensional boundary condition equations（BCE） method is proposed in this paper.In the BCE method,the standard FDTD algorithm can be used as usual,and the curved surface is treated by adding the boundary condition equations.Thus,while maintaining the simplicity and computational efficiency of the standard FDTD algorithm,the BCE method can solve the staircase approximation problem.The BCE method is validated by analyzing near field and far field scattering properties of the PEC and dielectric cylinders.The results show that the BCE method can maintain a second-order accuracy by eliminating the staircase approximation errors.Moreover,the results of the BCE method show good accuracy for cylinder scattering cases with different permittivities.
