To investigate the dynamic characteristics of gas bearings with holes of tangential supply (TS bearing), drawing on the modified Reynolds equations proposed by Mori, we present new governing equations and their reasonable boundary conditions. Using this mathematical model, the inertia effect of the supplied gas on the aerodynamic film force can be evaluated properly. The governing equations are solved numerically using Finite Element Method (FEM), and the pressure distribution of the gas in the bearing, the critical whirl ratio and so on, are calculated for a typical design. Some results for a cylindrical journal bearing (CJ bearing) and ordinary bearing with holes of radial supply (RS bearing) are also provided for comparison.

Thin-walled structures may contain defects as cracks and holes that are leftovers of the material the construction, is made of or they occur during the operation as a result of, for example, mechanical damage. The presence of holes in the plate causes a concentration of stresses at the boundary of the holes and ultimately leads to premature failure of the structural element. Repair of local damage of modern aircraft structures can be made by creating overlays that are glued to the main structure. The overlay takes on part of the load, unloading the damaged area. This method of repair provides tightness and aerodynamic efficiency to the structure. The calculation of the stress state of such glued structures is usually performed by using the finite element method. The classic models of the stress state of overlapped joints are one-dimensional. That is, the change of the stress state along only one coordinate is considered. At the same time, the connections of a rectangular form are also considered. The purpose of this work is to create a mathematical model of the stress state of circular axisymmetric adhesive joints and to build an appropriate analytical solution to the problem. It is assumed that the bending of the plates is absent; the deformation of the plates is even by thickness. The adhesive layer works only on the shift. The main plate and the overlay are considered isotropic. The solution is built on polar coordinates. The stress state of the connection depends only on the radial coordinate, i.e. one-dimensional. The solution is obtained in analytical form. This mathematical model is a generalization of the classical model of the adhesive connection of Volkersen to a circular or annular region and is considered for the first time. Boundary conditions are met exactly. The satisfaction of marginal conditions, as well as boundary conditions, leads to a system of linear equations with respect to the unknown coefficients of the obtained solutions. The model problem is solved and the numerical results are compared with the results of calculations performed by using the finite element method. It is shown that the proposed model has sufficient accuracy for engineering problems and can be used to solve problems of the design of aerospace structures.

A mathematical model for the flow in the hybrid gas journal bearing is depicted by the transfer function in this paper. The average and modified parameters from the pressure distribution of multi-orifices aerostatic journal bearing are acquired to describe the characteristics accurately. The transient gas film forces of multi-orifices hybrid bearing is derived in the generalized form by analytical means, and then the dynamic characteristics coefficients are got by employing the Laplace transform. It indicates that the obtained forces can calculate the dynamic characteristics coefficients simply, quickly and accurately, which provide an efficient means for designing rotor-bearing systems.

The paper presents some theoretical and practical issues, particularly useful to users of numerical methods, especially finite element method for the behaviour modelling of the foam materials. Given the characteristics of specific behaviour of the foam materials, the requirement which has to be taken into consideration is the compression, inclusive impact with bodies more rigid then a foam material, when this is used alone or in combination with other materials in the form of composite laminated with various boundary conditions. The results and conclusions presented in this paper are the results of our investigations in the field and relates to the use of LS-Dyna program, but many observations, findings and conclusions, have a general character, valid for use of any numerical analysis by FEM programs.

The inverse Finite Element Method (iFEM) is receiving more attention for shape sensing due to its independence from the material properties and the external load. However, a proper definition of the model geometry with its boundary conditions is required, together with the acquisition of the structure’s strain field with optimized sensor networks. The iFEM model definition is not trivial in the case of complex structures, in particular, if sensors are not applied on the whole structure allowing just a partial definition of the input strain field. To overcome this issue, this research proposes a simplified iFEM model in which the geometrical complexity is reduced and boundary conditions are tuned with the superimposition of the effects to behave as the real structure. The procedure is assessed for a complex aeronautical structure, where the reference displacement field is first computed in a numerical framework with input strains coming from a direct finite element analysis, confirming the effectiveness of the iFEM based on a simplified geometry. Finally, the model is fed with experimentally acquired strain measurements and the performance of the method is assessed in presence of a high level of uncertainty.

This paper is concerned with the numerical solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with Neumann boundary conditions by quintic B-spline Galerkin finite element method as the shape and weight functions over the finite domain. The Galerkin B-spline method is more efficient and simpler than the general Galerkin finite element method. For the Galerkin B-spline method, the Crank Nicolson and finite difference schemes are applied for nodal parameters and for time integration. Two numerical problems are discussed to demonstrate the accuracy and feasibility of the proposed method. The error norms L 2 , L ∞ and conservation laws I 1 ,   I 2 are calculated to check the accuracy and feasibility of the method. The results of the scheme are compared with previously obtained approximate solutions and are found to be in good agreement.

Существуют два основных подхода решения задачи тепломассопереноса при численном моделировании промерзания грунтов: 1) решение методом конечных разностей с учетом граничных условий (границей, например, является фронт промерзания); 2) решение методом конечных элементов без учета границ модели. Оба подхода имеют существенные недостатки, что оставляет проблему решения задачи для численной модели промерзания грунтов острой и актуальной. В данной работе представлена физическая постановка промерзания, которая позволяет создать численную модель, базирующуюся на решении методом конечных элементов, но при этом отражающую ход фронта промерзания - то есть модель, в которой объединены оба подхода к решению задачи промерзания грунтов. Для подтверждения корректности модели был проделан ряд экспериментов по физическому моделированию промерзания модельного грунта и выполнен сравнительный анализ полученных экспериментальных данных и результатов расчетов на базе представленной численной модели с такими же граничными условиями, как в экспериментах. There are two basic approaches to solving the problem of heat and mass transfer in the numerical modeling of soil freezing: 1) using the finite difference method taking into account boundary conditions (the boundary, for example, is the freezing front); 2) using the finite element method without consideration of model boundaries. Both approaches have significant drawbacks, which leaves the issue of solving the problem for the numerical model of soil freezing acute and up-to-date. This article provides the physical setting of freezing that allows us to create a numerical model based on the solution by the finite element method, but at the same time reflecting the route of the freezing front, i.e. the model that combines both approaches to solving the problem of soil freezing. In order to confirm the correctness of the model, a number of experiments on physical modeling of model soil freezing have been performed, and a comparative analysis of the experimental data obtained and the calculation results based on the provided numerical model with the same boundary conditions as in the experiments was performed.
