This paper presents a novel total Lagrangian cell-centred finite volume formulation of geometrically exact beams with arbitrary initial curvature undergoing large displacements and finite rotations. The choice of rotation parametrisation, the mathematical formulation of the beam kinematics, conjugate strain measures and the linearisation of the strong form of governing equations is described. The finite volume based discretisation of the computational domain and the governing equations for each computational volume are presented. The discretised integral form of the equilibrium equations are solved using a block-coupled Newton-Raphson solution procedure. The efficacy of the proposed methodology is presented by comparing the simulated numerical results with classic benchmark test cases available in the literature. The objectivity of strain measures for the current formulation and mesh convergence studies for both initially straight and curved beam configurations are also discussed.

We develop an approach to generating degree-of-freedom maps for arbitrary order finite element spaces for any cell shape. The approach is based on the composition of permutations and transformations by cell sub-entity. Current approaches to generatin g degree-of-freedom maps for arbitrary order problems typically rely on a consistent orientation of cell entities that permits the definition of a common local coordinate system on shared edges and faces. However, while orientation of a mesh is straightforward for simplex cells and is a local operation, it is not a strictly local operation for quadrilateral cells and in the case of hexahedral cells not all meshes are orientable. The permutation and transformation approach is developed for a range of element types, including Lagrange, and divergence- and curl-conforming elements, and for a range of cell shapes. The approach is local and can be applied to cells of any shape, including general polytopes and meshes with mixed cell types. A number of examples are presented and the developed approach has been implemented in an open-source finite element library.
We develop and analyze an ultraweak variational formulation of the Reissner-Mindlin plate bending model both for the clamped and the soft simply supported cases. We prove well-posedness of the formulation, uniformly with respect to the plate thicknes s $t$. We also prove weak convergence of the Reissner-Mindlin solution to the solution of the corresponding Kirchhoff-Love model when $tto 0$. Based on the ultraweak formulation, we introduce a discretization of the discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin type with optimal test functions (DPG) and prove its uniform quasi-optimal convergence. Our theory covers the case of non-convex polygonal plates. A numerical experiment for some smooth model solutions with fixed load confirms that our scheme is locking free.
Recently developed concept of dissipative measure-valued solution for compressible flows is a suitable tool to describe oscillations and singularities possibly developed in solutions of multidimensional Euler equations. In this paper we study the con vergence of the first-order finite volume method based on the exact Riemann solver for the complete compressible Euler equations. Specifically, we derive entropy inequality and prove the consistency of numerical method. Passing to the limit, we show the weak and strong convergence of numerical solutions and identify their limit. The numerical results presented for the spiral, Kelvin-Helmholtz and the Richtmyer-Meshkov problem are consistent with our theoretical analysis.

In this paper, we present a class of finite volume schemes for incompressible flow problems. The unknowns are collocated at the center of the control volumes, and the stability of the schemes is obtained by adding to the mass balance stabilization te rms involving the pressure jumps across the edges of the mesh.
Piezoelectric devices, such as piezoelectric traveling wave rotary ultrasonic motors, have composite piezoelectric structures. A composite piezoelectric structure consists of a combination of two or more bonded materials, where at least one of them i s a piezoelectric transducer. Numerical modeling of piezoelectric structures has been done in the past mainly with the finite element method. Alternatively, a finite volume based approach offers the following advantages: (a) the ordinary differential equations resulting from the discretization process can be interpreted directly as corresponding circuits and (b) phenomena occurring at boundaries can be treated exactly. This report extends the work of IEEE Transactions on UFFC 57(2010)7:1673-1691 by presenting a method for implementing the boundary conditions between the bonded materials in composite piezoelectric structures. The report concludes with one modeling example of a unimorph structure.
