Multidomain boundary integral formulation for piezoelectric materials fracture mechanics

2001

Abstract A boundary element method and its numerical implementation for the analysis of piezoelectric materials are presented with the aim to exploit their features in linear electroelastic fracture mechanics. The problem is formulated employing generalized displacements, that is displacements and electric potential, and generalized tractions, that is tractions and electric displacement. The generalized displacements boundary integral equation is obtained by using the closed form of the piezoelasticity fundamental solutions. These are derived through a displacement based modified Lekhnitskii’s functions approach. The multidomain boundary element technique is implemented to achieve the numer…

3‐D CALCULATION OF ZERO‐COMPONENT FLUX IN THREE‐PHASE THREE‐COLUMN TRANSFORMER

1994

The paper discusses the problem of space distribution of zero‐component magnetic flux generated in three‐column transformer. For 3‐D magnetic field calculation the method of integral equations was used. The numerical calculations were made for physical model of the transformer and compared with experimental results. The accuracy of the calculations of the magnetic field, achieved in the work, proves that the modelling may be used as a computer aided designing tool.

The Nitsche phenomenon for weighted Dirichlet energy

2018

Abstract The present paper arose from recent studies of energy-minimal deformations of planar domains. We are concerned with the Dirichlet energy. In general the minimal mappings need not be homeomorphisms. In fact, a part of the domain near its boundary may collapse into the boundary of the target domain. In mathematical models of nonlinear elasticity this is interpreted as interpenetration of matter. We call such occurrence the Nitsche phenomenon, after Nitsche’s remarkable conjecture (now a theorem) about existence of harmonic homeomorphisms between annuli. Indeed the round annuli proved to be perfect choices to grasp the nuances of the problem. Several papers are devoted to a study of d…

Real-time clothoid approximation by Rational Bezier curves

2008

This paper presents a novel technique for implementing Clothoidal real-time paths for mobile robots. As first step, rational Bezier curves are obtained as approximation of the Fresnel integrals. By rescaling, rotating and translating the previously computed RBC, an on-line Clothoidal path is obtained. In this process, coefficients, weights and control points are kept invariant. This on-line approach guarantees that an RBC has the same behavior as the original Clothoid using a low curve order. The resulting Clothoidal path allows any two arbitrary poses to be joined in a plane. RBCs working as Clothoids are also used to search for the shortest bounded-curvature path with a significant comput…

Educación Física bilingüe y pedagogía crítica: una aplicación basada en el Judo

2015

Considering the impact that the introduction of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is having in Europe, this paper presents a model of application for Physical Education in English. This model improves particularly the acquisition of a foreign language and proposes at the same time a comprehensive learning scenario based on the principles of the critical pedagogy. From the 4Cs framework of CLIL methodology («content», «communication», «culture» and «cognition») the paper offers an in-depth reflection on the possibilities of introducing the critical pedagogy approach to Physical Education, thus increasing its educational potential. First, we argue about the links between critica…

Ingredientes metodológicos para construir agencia en la formación de los futuros profesionales de la intervención social

2022

Formar a los/as profesionales en la intervención social exige un plus en la atención a las competencias transversales que son sustantivas para la condición de “arte” que exigen las profesionales de lo social. En definitiva, poner la mirada en “ser” desde el “hacer”, en la medida que la experiencia educativa se convierte en sí misma en el escenario para construirnos como sujetos-agencia, adquirir el poder desde el espacio relacional y, construir ciudadanía. El presente artículo se centra en experiencias educativas orientadas desde los Ciclos Formativos de Integración Social, y en concreto el trabajo por proyectos, con el ánimo de sistematizar y visibilizar aquellos ingredientes metodológicos…

A quantum mechanics-molecular mechanics study of dissociative electron transfer : The methylchloride radical anion in aqueous solution

2002

The dissociative electron transfer reaction CH3Cl+e−→CH3•+Cl− in aqueous solution is studied by using a QM/MM method. In this work the quantum subsystem (a methylchloride molecule plus an electron) is described using density functional theory while the solvent (300 water molecules) is described using the TIP3P classical potential. By means of molecular dynamics simulations and the thermodynamic integration technique we obtained the potential of mean force (PMF) for the carbon–chlorine bond dissociation of the neutral and radical anion species. Combining these two free energy curves we found a quadratic dependence of the activation free energy on the reaction free energy in agreement with Ma…

Arbitrarily shaped plates analysis via Line Element-Less Method (LEM)

2018

Abstract An innovative procedure is introduced for the analysis of arbitrarily shaped thin plates with various boundary conditions and under generic transverse loading conditions. Framed into Line Element-less Method, a truly meshfree method, this novel approach yields the solution in terms of the deflection function in a straightforward manner, without resorting to any discretization, neither in the domain nor on the boundary. Specifically, expressing the deflection function through a series expansion in terms of harmonic polynomials, it is shown that the proposed method requires only the evaluation of line integrals along the boundary parametric equation. Further, minimization of appropri…
