Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Since the early developments in the 1960s and 1970s, carried out by pioneers like R.W. Clough at the UC Berkeley, J.H. Argyris at the University of Stuttgart, and O.C. Zienkiewicz at the University of Swansea, the use of the Finite Element Method (FEM) has been continuously growing, becoming the leading method in the numerical simulation of mathematical, science and engineering problems.

Nowadays, the FEM is applied to a large variety of mathematical and multi-physics and multi-scale science and engineering problems, including computational solid mechanics, computational fluid dynamics, coupled thermomechanical problems, coupled electromechanical problems, or coupled electromagnetics problems.

This special issue on “Finite Element Analysis” intends to collect selected review works written by well-known researchers in the field, as well as current developments in the application of the FEM to mathematical and multi-physics multi-scale physical problems in engineering and science.

Topics addressed in this special issue include, but are not limited to:

  • Finite Element Analysis in Mathematics
  • Finite Element Analysis of Multi-physics and Multi-scale physical problems in engineering and science
  • Stabilization methods in the Finite Element Analysis of Computational Solid Mechanics and Computational Fluid Dynamics
  • Finite Element Analysis in the numerical simulation of material forming processes

In this work, we study a bone remodeling model used to reproduce the phenomenon of osseointegration around endosseous implants. The biological problem is written in terms of the densities of platelets, osteogenic cells, and osteoblasts and the concentrations of two growth factors. Its variational formulation leads to a strongly coupled nonlinear system of parabolic variational equations. An existence and uniqueness result of this variational form is stated. Then, a fully discrete approximation of the problem is introduced by using the finite element method and a semi-implicit Euler scheme. A priori error estimates are obtained, and the linear convergence of the algorithm is derived under some suitable regularity conditions and tested with a numerical example. Finally, one- and two-dimensional numerical results are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of the algorithm and the behavior of the solution. Full article

Finite Element Method based techniques apply to a wide spectrum of engineering applications including manufacturing. The flexibility to achieve optimized results by simulations adds another dimension to process-development. The efficiency due to simulation is enhanced many folds for developing desired components by reducing the cost as well as time. This paper investigates cold forging process to be adopted to produce camshafts with a target to minimize flash as well as under filling. These two factors being major problems encountered when cold forging is to be adopted for complex shaped products. The current work is primarily concerned with the development of an optimized preform design for a V8 engine camshaft. The work involved the Solid modeling of the camshaft on AutoCAD and further analyzing the developed model through finite element analysis using Deform 3D. The analysis involved understanding of metal flow, volumetric analysis and die stresses in the forging process. The materials considered for the work-piece and the dies are AISI 8620 and AISI-H-26 respectively. The sample camshaft was taken from a standard Dodge Challenger V8 engine. 10 different cases are analyzed to find out the best possible scenario. It is fund that the stress level for the developed model was very much within the design limit of the material. Full article

In this paper, the multiblock mortar mixed approximation of second order parabolic partial differential equations is considered. In this method, the simulation domain is decomposed into the non-overlapping subdomains (blocks), and a physically-meaningful boundary condition is set on the mortar interface between the blocks. The governing equations hold locally on each subdomain region. The local problems on blocks are coupled by introducing a special approximation space on the interfaces of neighboring subdomains. Each block is locally covered by an independent grid and the standard mixed finite element method is applied to solve the local problem. The unique solvability of the discrete problem is shown, and optimal order convergence rates are established for the approximate velocity and pressure on the subdomain. Furthermore, an error estimate for the interface pressure in mortar space is presented. The numerical experiments are presented to validate the efficiency of the method. Full article
