Finite Element Method modeling of Additive Manufactured Compressor Wheel

Finite Element Modeling of Compressor Discharge Tubes

Discharge tubes in hermetically sealed refrigeration compressors are often a source of fatigue failure which is not serviceable and necessitates the replacement of the compressor. The finite element method can be used to model the discharge tube to help prevent such failures and to reduce costs by optimizing the tube. This investigation considers techniques for modeling discharge tubes with fin...

Galerkin Finite-Element Method for the Analysis of the Second Harmonic Generation in Wagon Wheel Fibers

The nonlinear effects of the second harmonic generation have been investigated for the propagation of light along the axis of fibers of wagon wheel cross sectional shape. Nodal finite element formulation is utilized to obtain discretized Helmholtz equations under appropriate boundary conditions. The hierarchical p-version nodal elements are used for meshing the cross section of wagon wheel fibe...

A Proposed Modeling Method in Finite Element Slope Stability Analysis

Limit-equilibrium method (LEM) and finite element method (FEM) with strength reduction method (SRM) techniques are the most widely used analysis tools in slope stability assessment. Recently, researchers have reported that both factor of safety (FOS) values and failure surfaces obtained from LEM and FEM are generally in good agreement, except in some particular cases. In this paper, the FOS and...
