The development of the Trefftzian methodology for engineering design analysis

This paper reviews the developments in the Trefftzian Methodology, which have been undertaken by the authors at the University of Sheffield during the past fifteen years and the application of these developments to engineering design analysis. Initially, in the late 1970s, this work concentrated on the Direct Boundary Element Method (DBEM) and the Indirect Boundary Element Method (IBEM). Unfortunately these methods, as they are normally formulated, give rise to singular integrals, which require special mathematical treatment, when the source and field points coincide on the boundary of the component being analysed. These singular integrals can however be eliminated by placing the source boundary outside the domain of the problem being analysed so that the field and source points never coincide. This technique is known as either the Regular Direct Boundary Element Method (RDBEM) or the Regular Indirect Boundary Element Method (RIBEM) In a further development of the RIBEM, based on the Trefftz Method, the continuous distribution of sources is replaced with sources distributed at discrete points on the source boundary. This modified Trefftz Method eliminates the integrations in the solution procedure, it provides a series solution in terms of the fundamental solution of the problem being analysed and is referred to as the Indirect Discrete Boundary Method (IDBM). The emergence of the IDBM provided the opportunity to develop a combined Boundary Element Finite Element technique which enables these methods to be used simultaneously in a single calculation, thereby exploiting their strengths and minimising their weaknesses. A number of case studies will be discussed in the paper to illustrate the developments in the Trefftzian Methodology and its application to engineering design analysis.

Integration of topology and shape optimization for design of structural components

This paper presents an integrated approach that supports the topology optimization and CAD-based shape optimization. The main contribution of the paper is using the geometric reconstruction technique that is mathematically sound and error bounded for creating solid models of the topologically optimized structures with smooth geometric boundary. This geometric reconstruction method extends the integration to 3-D applications. In addition, commercial Computer-Aided Design (CAD), finite element analysis (FEA), optimization, and application software tools are incorporated to support the integrated optimization process. The integration is carried out by first converting the geometry of the topologically optimized structure into smooth and parametric B-spline curves and surfaces. The B-spline curves and surfaces are then imported into a parametric CAD environment to build solid models of the structure. The control point movements of the B-spline curves or surfaces are defined as design variables for shape optimization, in which CAD-based design velocity field computations, design sensitivity analysis (DSA), and nonlinear programming are performed. Both 2-D plane stress and 3-D solid examples are presented to demonstrate the proposed approach. Received January 27, 2000 Communicated by J. Sobieski     

Importing mesh entities through IGES/PDES

IGES/PDES is an internationally accepted standard for transferring solid model information between different CAD/CAM software. Most of the information, like geometric entities, mesh entities and drafting entities, for a model generated in a particular software may be imported into another software through the IGES protocol, although either software may have its own internal database structure, radically different from each other. The goal of this article is to outline the basic concepts involved in extracting relevant information from an IGES file produced by a CAD/CAM software. In order to elucidate the process involved, only the mesh entities (nodes and elements) are brought in and a simple F77 code is attached, which could easily be extended to develop a general purpose IGES translator for pre-processing in a Finite Element/Boundary Element based analysis environment.     

NURBS-Enhanced Finite Element Method (NEFEM)

Numerical–experimental crack growth analysis in AA2024-T3 FSWed butt joints

This paper deals with a numerical and experimental investigation on the influence of residual stresses on fatigue crack growth in AA2024-T3 friction stir welded butt joints. The computational approach is based on the sequential usage of the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the Dual Boundary Element Method (DBEM). Linear elastic FE simulations are performed to evaluate the process induced residual stresses, by means of the contour method. The computed stress field is transferred to a DBEM environment and superimposed to the stress field produced by a remote fatigue traction load applied on a friction stir welded cracked specimen; the crack propagation is then simulated according to a two-parameter growth model. Numerical results have been compared with experimental data showing good agreement and evidencing the predictive capability of the proposed method. The obtained results highlight the influence of the residual stress distribution on crack growth.
