In this article, we present a systematic numerical study for second-order linear wave equation using weak Galerkin finite-element methods (WG-FEMs). Various degrees of polynomials are used to construct weak Galerkin finite-element spaces. Error estimates in L-2 norm as well as in discrete H-1 norm have been established for general weak Galerkin space (P-k (K), P-j (partial derivative K), [P-l (K)](2)), where k, j&l are non-negative integers with k >= 1. Time discretization for fully discrete scheme is based on second order in time Newmark scheme. Finally, we provide several numerical results to confirm theoretical findings.

The post-weld shift (PWS)-induced fiber-alignment shifts of fiber-ferrule clip (FFC) joints in butterfly laser packaging by using laser-welding techniques and a high-magnification, video-probe camera system were studied experimentally and numerically. The measured results show that the fiber shifts of FFC joints with a 5-mum gap between the clip and ferrule exhibited shifts less than that without a gap. This suggests that the 5-mum gap design may be more suitable for FFC joints in laser packaging. The experimental measurements of fiber shifts in FFC joints were in reasonable agreement with the numerical calculations of the finite-element method (FEM) analysis. The major fiber-shift formation mechanisms of FFC joints in the laser-welding process may come from the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficient, the solidification shrinkage, and the residual stresses within the FFC joint, but solidification shrinkage is the dominant cause. This study demonstrates that the FEM is an effective method for predicting PWS-induced fiber-alignment shifts in laser-module packaging.

Transmission characteristics of single and double trapezoidal-ridge waveguides, are analysed by the finite-element method. Design data of cutoff wavelength and single-mode bandwidth for different ridge dimensions are presented in tabulated forms. Field patterns of dominant mode and the first higher-order TE mode in both waveguides are also illustrated. Numerical results provide an extension to the existing design data of rectangular-ridge waveguides and are considered to be helpful in practical applications.

The lead trim-and-form process is important in the manufacturing of programmable logic devices, microprocessors, and memories. Normally, inspection of a chip package is performed in a lead inspection machine after the lead forming process to detect defects on the leads. One such defect is the lead intermetallic compound (IMC) crack, exhibiting itself as plating crack. In this study, IMC crack of package leads, which causes loose connection between the copper lead and the tin plating, was analyzed using the finite-element method. The simulation results were verified by matching the simulated and actual formed lead profile. Simulation results showed a strong correlation between IMC crack after forming and aging and high residual tensile strain induced during lead forming. A proposal was made to resolve the crack issue by performing design of experiment (DOE) to reduce the residual tensile strain of the lead upon forming. Three optimization parameters were chosen, namely the forming angle, the shank angle, and the pre-forming angle. It is shown that, with the optimized parameter setting, a reduction of the residual strain can be achieved, thus minimizing the risk of IMC crack.

Besides the usual application of thick-film technology to produce circuits of high reliability, this technology is also attractive for the fabrication of sensors. A laser power detector has been realized utilizing the thick-film technique. A special detector configuration provides an exact laser power measurement independent of the position of beam impingement on the detector area and independent of the intensity distribution of the laser beam. The detector, which actually operates as a heat-flow meter, consists of a thermopile circularly applied on an AlN substrate. The geometrical proportions of the detector have been accommodated to an NdYAG laser with a given specification by means of thermal heat-transfer analysis using the finite-element method (FEM). Based on the FEM simulation of steady state and transient temperature distributions on the detector area induced by laser beam impingement, the performance and the operating range of the detector have been specified.

Through-thickness distributions of the welding residual stresses were studied in the range of 50-100mm thick plates by using finite-element modeling (FEM) and neutron diffraction measurements. In order to simulate the residual stresses through the thickness of the thick weld joints, this paper proposes a two-dimensional generalized plane strain (GPS) finite-element model coupled with the mixed work hardening model. The residual stress distributions show mostly asymmetric parabola profiles through the thickness of the welds and it is in good correlation with the neutron diffraction results. Both the heat input and plate thickness have little influence on the residual stress distributions due to the relatively large constraints of the thick specimen applied for each welding pass. A general formula has been suggested to evaluate the distributions of the through-thickness residual stresses in thick welds based on FEM and neutron diffraction experimental results.

A new explicit time-domain finite-element method (TDFEM), which is fundamentally different from traditional explicit TDFEM formulations for solving Maxwell's equations, is introduced. This new explicit TDFEM is derived from a recently developed TDFEM domain-decomposition algorithm by extending domain decomposition to the element level. This method solves dual-field second-order wave equations and computes the electric and magnetic fields in a leapfrog fashion. With the element-level decomposition, no global system matrix has to be assembled and solved as required in the implicit TDFEM, and each element is related to its neighboring elements in an explicit manner. Hence, the computational complexity of the method is reduced to only O(N) for both computer memory and CPU time. A hybrid explicit/implicit scheme is also proposed to alleviate a major disadvantage of the proposed explicit TDFEM formulation. In addition, the convergence behavior of the corresponding higher order algorithms and the stability issues are discussed.

Nowadays lunching masses to faraway distances is an important issue. One of important electromagnetic launcher for this purpose is duble-projectil railgun because it can launch synchronously two separated projectiles. It has been obtained before that two-turn railgun have better inductance gradient and performance than simple railgun. Also, self-inductance gradient and mutual-inductance gradient in two-turn railgun depend on the initial position of armatures. In this paper, we want to calculate the inductance gradient of a new structure that we named it plus railgun. The plus railgun has one barrel between two-pair rails by two separated armatures and two pairs of rails are powered by one pulse power at the same time. A 3-D finite-element method is applied to the transient analysis of the magnetic field, current distribution, and the inductance gradient of railguns. Finally, we will compare the parameters of two-turn and plus railguns.

详细信息
An efficient and accurate finite-element algorithm is described for the numerical solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes (INS) equations. The new algorithm that solves the INS equations in a velocity-pressure reformulation is based on a split-step scheme in conjunction with the standard finite-element method. The split-step scheme employed for the temporal discretization of our algorithm completely separates the pressure updates from the solution of velocity variables. When the pressure equation is formed explicitly, the algorithm avoids solving a saddle-point problem;therefore, our algorithm has more flexibility in choosing finite-element spaces. In contrast, popular mixed finite-element methods that solve the INS equations in the primitive variables (or velocity-divergence formulation) lead to discrete saddle-point problems whose solution depends on the choice of finite-element spaces for velocity and pressure that is subject to the well-known Ladyzenskaja-BabuSla-Brezzi (LBB) (or inf-sup) condition. For efficiency and robustness, Lagrange (piecewise-polynomial) finiteelements of equal order for both velocity and pressure are used. Accurate numerical boundary condition for the pressure equation is also investigated. Motivated by a post-processing technique that calculates derivatives of a finiteelement solution with super-convergent error estimates, an alternative numerical boundary condition is proposed for the pressure equation at the discrete level. The new numerical pressure boundary condition that can be regarded as a better implementation of the compatibility boundary condition improves the boundary-layer errors of the pressure solution. A normal-mode analysis is performed using a simplified model problem on a uniform mesh to demonstrate the numerical properties of our methods. Convergence studies using P-1 elements support the analytical results and demonstrates that our algorithm with the new numerical boundary condition achieves the optimal second
