Smoothed Finite Element Methods for Nonlinear Solid Mechanics Problems: 2D and 3D Case Studies
(2016)
The Smoothed Finite Element Method (SFEM) is presented as an edge-based and a facebased techniques for 2D and 3D boundary value problems, respectively. SFEMs avoid shortcomings of the standard Finite Element Method (FEM) with lower order elements such as overly stiff behavior, poor stress solution, and locking effects. Based on the idea of averaging spatially the standard strain field of the FEM over so-called smoothing domains SFEM calculates the stiffness matrix for the same number of degrees of freedom (DOFs) as those of the FEM. However, the SFEMs significantly improve accuracy and convergence even for distorted meshes and/or nearly incompressible materials.
Numerical results of the SFEMs for a cardiac tissue membrane (thin plate inflation) and an artery (tension of 3D tube) show clearly their advantageous properties in improving accuracy particularly for the distorted meshes and avoiding shear locking effects.

Proceedings of the 2nd Humboldt Kolleg, Hammamet, Tunisia Organizer: Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung, Germany. pdf 184 p. Welcome Address Dear Participants, Welcome to the 2nd Humboldt Kolleg in “Nanoscale Science and Technology” (NS&T’12) in Tunisia, sponsored by the "Alexander von Humboldt" foundation. The NS&T’12 multidisciplinary scientific program includes seven "hot" topics dealing with "Nanoscale Science and Technology" covering basic and application-oriented research as well as industrial (market) aspects: - Molecular Biophyics, Spectroscopy Techniques, Imaging Microscopy - Nanomaterials Synthesis for Medicine and Bio-chemical Sensors - Nanostructures, Semiconductors, Photonics and Nanodevices - New Technologies in Market Industry - Environment, Electro-chemistry, Bio-polymers and Fuel Cells - Nanomaterials, Photovoltaic, Modelling, Quantum Physics - Microelectronics, Sensors Networks and Embedded Systems We are deeply indebted to all members of the Scientific Committee and General Chairs for joint Sessions and to all speakers and chairmen, who have dedicated invaluable time and efforts for the realization of this event. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are cordially inviting you to join the conference and hope that your stay will be fruitful, rewarding and enjoyable. Prof. Dr. Michael J. Schöning, Prof. Dr. Adnane Abdelghani
The interest in PET detectors with monolithic block scintillators is growing. In order to obtain high spatial resolutions dedicated positioning algorithms are required. But even an ideal algorithm can only deliver information which is provided by the detector. In this simulation study we investigated the light distribution on one surface of cuboid LSO scintillators of different size. Scintillators with a large aspect ratio (small footprint and large height) showed significant position information only for a minimum interaction depth of the gamma particle. The results allow a quantitative estimate for a useful aspect ratio.
An increasing number of applications target their executions on specific hardware like general purpose Graphics Processing Units. Some Cloud Computing providers offer this specific hardware so that organizations can rent such resources. However, outsourcing the whole application to the Cloud causes avoidable costs if only some parts of the application benefit from the specific expensive hardware. A partial execution of applications in the Cloud is a tradeoff between costs and efficiency. This paper addresses the demand for a consistent framework that allows for a mixture of on- and off-premise calculations by migrating only specific parts to a Cloud. It uses the concept of workflows to present how individual workflow tasks can be migrated to the Cloud whereas the remaining tasks are executed on-premise.
