TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical model to describe the three-dimensional temperature field was established for a finite plate with a Gaussian heat source moving at a constant velocity, and the effects of the laser forming parameters on the temperature distributions were also studied, using the established model.
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that failure to take these singularities into account leads to large errors in the finite-difference solution of the time-domain electromagnetic field equations.
Abstract: When the electromagnetic-field equations are solved in a region with a corner, singularities in the field or in its spatial derivatives will be present at these corners. These singularities cause the load truncation error in a finite-difference approximation of the field equations to be unbounded. In this paper it is shown that failing to take these singularities into account leads to large errors in the finite-difference solution of the time-domain electromagnetic-field equations. A simple method is described to account for these singularities while retaining the simplicity of the finite-difference formulation. Numerical results are given that demonstrate the accuracy obtained when our technique is used.
TL;DR: In this article, a full implicit continuous Eulerian (FICE) scheme is developed for solving multidimensional transient MHD flow problems, where the boundary conditions are treated by classifying them into physical and computational ones.
TL;DR: In this article, a kinetic theory of fatigue surface cracking processes is presented, which takes fully into account the crack coalescence phenomenon and derives a balance equation for the crack density function in a one dimensional phase space similar to the Boltzmann equation for gases.
Abstract: This paper presents a kinetic theory of fatigue surface cracking processes that takes fully into account the crack coalescence phenomenon. We derive a balance equation for the crack density function in a one dimensional phase space similar to the Boltzmann equation for gases. The equation is solved numerically by a finite- difference method and the results are compared with a more classical Monte-Carlo simulation. The fatigue life probability distribution is calculated by assuming that failure occurs when cracks larger than a given critical size appear.
TL;DR: In this paper, a linearized implicit finite difference method to obtain numerical solution of the one-dimensional regularized long-wave (RLW) equation is presented, and the performance and accuracy of the method are illustrated by solving three test examples of the problem: a single solitary wave, two positive solitary waves, and an undular bore.
