This paper presents a new 2D water transport model considering capillary suction to predict the water content evolution in the concrete porosity. The basic formulations of the model are illustrated, and a switching algorithm is introduced to simulated wet-drying effects. Two specific absorption tests are studied to validate this model. The first...

A deep excavation application characterized by imprecise data and lack of adequate information is used to demonstrate the efficiency, applicability, and validity of the random set theory in combination with finite element method (RS-FEM). A case history of an anchored contiguous pile wall in overconsolidated fissured Ankara Clay constructed for...

Displacement-based finite element calculations are primarily used for serviceability limit state (SLS) analysis, but the finite element method also offers possibilities for ultimate limit state (ULS) design in geotechnical engineering. The combined use of SLS and ULS calculations with partial safety factors according to the different design...

This paper compares the results of different probabilistic approaches and emphasizes the necessity of probabilistic analyses in slope stability studies. To do that, Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) are utilized and their outputs are compared in terms of probability of failure (PF), reliability index (RI), factor of...

The elastic-plastic mechanical behaviour is a typical characteristic of rock mass. The load action will bring on the local destruction, large deformation, even whole failure of rock mass with the discontinuous mediums (e.g. joint, crack and fault). It is a coupling process of the continuous deformation and the discontinuous deformation. The...

In order to support an architect’s decision to evaluate and choose more efficient structural solutions in the concept design, it is necessary to establish an interactive feedback loop between structural solver and geometry modeller which would allow one to analyse a great number of solutions generated in the scripting design process. Defining a...

Cracks, caused by shrinkage or external loading, reduce the durability of concrete structures as aggressive substances can easily enter in the capillary network of the cementitious matrix. Natural ‘autogenous’ healing ability of concrete by further hydration or precipitation has been studied experimentally for many years. Autogenous healing of...

We present a novel Lagrangian finite element method for simulating suspensions of particles in viscoelastic fluids. We solve the flow in a unit cell containing a small number of particles with doubly periodic boundary conditions on a self-replicating two-dimensional lattice to replicate a suspension on an infinite domain. The method uses a...

The paper focus on numerical approximation of the coupled of fluid and structural models in aeroelastic simulations as well as to the coupling of both models. The fluid motion is described by the incompressible Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS) and coupled with Spallart-Almaras turbulence model. The numerical solution by finite...

Electromagnetic metal forming is a contact-free high-speed forming process. The deformation of the workpiece is driven by a material body force, the Lorentz force, that results from the interaction of a pulsed magnetic field with eddy currents induced in the workpiece by the magnetic field itself. The purpose of this work is to present a fully...

Software MOR for ANSYS has been developed at IMTEK in 2003. It allows us to perform model reduction directly to finite element models developed in ANSYS. The goal of the present paper is to describe progress achieved for the last two years and review our publications with application of MOR for ANSYS to various engineering problems for different...

Computational fluid analysis requires huge amounts of computational resources. However, for the usual developer, parallelization is difficult as it requires special programming skills. In this study, the “HPC Middleware” is employed, which supports parallelization and optimizations for easily developing parallel code. The parallel efficiency of...

We present energy stable finite element schemes for two-fluid problems with interfacial tension. The interface is captured by solving numerically ordinary differential equations and the interface tension is brought in into the weak formulation of the finite element scheme. Some numerical results of rising bubble problems show the robustness and...

Two realizations of finite element variational multiscale (VMS) methods for the simulation of incompressible turbulent flows are studied. The difference between the two approaches consists in the way the spaces for the large scales and the resolved small scales are chosen. The paper addresses issues of the implementation of these methods, the...

A mixed continuous and discontinuous Galerkin finite element discretization has been constructed for a generalized vorticity-streamfunction formulation in two spatial dimensions. This formulation consists of a hyperbolic (potential) vorticity equation and a linear elliptic equation for a (transport) streamfunction. The advantages of this finite...

A numerical algorithm for the solution of the velocity-vorticity formulation of Navier-Stokes equations is presented. This formulation results in splitting of fluid flow into its kinematic and kinetic aspect. The Boundary Element Method (BEM) used for the solution of flow kinematics results in an implicit calculation of vorticity values at the...

In this note we will first discuss finite element discretizations of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with some artificial dissipation added in the form of either a turbulence model or some numerical stabilization term. We will then review some results on interior penalty stabilized finite element methods for incompressible flow. These...

The boundary commutation error in large eddy simulation is studied numerically. It is shown that an accurate representation of the boundary commutation error has an important role in a reliable large eddy simulation of wall bounded flows. The numerical experiments in this paper are conducted for a 2D channel flow.
