Three-Dimensional Finite Element Modeling of Stone Column-Improved Soft Saturated Ground
Installing stone columns in the ground is an effective improvement technique to increase the load bearing capacity and reduce the consolidation settlement of the loose or weak cohesive soils. In addition to the increase in the bearing capacity and reduction in the settlement, stone columns can accelerate the dissipation rate of the excess pore water pressure generated by the surcharge, which ex...
متن کاملThree-dimensional finite element modelling for soft tissues surgery
Laparoscopy is a surgical technique that requires fine control from the surgeon point of view. Up to this day, this experience can only be obtained by intensive training. That is why a lot of training simulators have been developed in the medical area. We present here a new approach based on a three-dimensional finite element software and an elastic constitutive equation, able to predict realis...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Finite Element
Numerical modeling of electromagnetic nondestructive testing problems has become in the last few years common enough to be considered an integral part of the engineering design practice. In particular, eddy current modeling activity has been on the increase because of the benefits afforded by such models and their relative simplicity and availability. This is certainly true for two dimensional ...
متن کاملParallel Octree-Based Finite Element Method for Large-Scale Earthquake Ground Motion Simulation
We present a parallel octree-based finite element method for large-scale earthquake ground motion simulation in realistic basins. The octree representation combines the low memory per node and good cache performance of finite difference methods with the spatial adaptivity to local seismic wavelengths characteristic of unstructured finite element methods. Several tests are provided to verify the...
متن کاملComputational and Programming Aspects of Transition Elements in a Three-dimensional Finite Element Program
The performance of any finite element (FE) structural analysis is directly related to the global number of nodes and degrees of freedom (DOF) of the discretized structure and mesh distribution attributes. It is obvious that the appropriate numerical analysis needs finer elements in the zone of interest, e.g. zone of high stress concentration and intensity, and coarser elements for farther porti...
