Magnetic Field Analysis by the Edge Element FEM

On the Analysis of FGM Beams: FEM with Innovative Element

This paper aims at presenting a new efficient element for free vibration and instability analysis of Axially Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) non-prismatic beams using Finite Element Method (FEM). Using concept of Basic Displacement Functions (BDFs), two- node element extends  to three-node element for obtaining much more exact results using FEM. First, BDFs are introduced and computed usin...

Finite Element Analysis of Stationary Magnetic Field

Computer-aided Magnetic Field Analysis Using the Boundary Element Method

Efficient design of electromagnetic devices requires the analysis of electric and magnetic field distributions. To this end, the boundary element method (BEM) has been shown to be a powerful technique. This paper presents the use of BEM in computer-aided magnetic field analysis. The advantages of BEM over the finite element method (FEM) are stated. The recent introduction of BEM in a generalize...

Evaluation of Fracture Parameters by Coupling the Edge-Based Smoothed Finite Element Method and the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method

This paper presents a technique to evaluate the fracture parameters by combining the edge based smoothed finite element method (ESFEM) and the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM). A semi-analytical solution is sought in the region close to the vicinity of the crack tip using the SBFEM, whilst, the ESFEM is used for the rest of the domain. As both methods satisfy the partition of unity...

FEM analysis of edge preparation for chamfered tools

The chamfer enhances the performance of the tool by strengthening the edge and reducing the possibility of tool wear and breakage. The strength of the chamfered tool can be investigated by analysis of process variables. This research investigates the effects of chamfer width and chamfer angle on process variables (force, stress, tool temperature and tool stress) in machining of a mild carbon lo...
