Simulation by Comparison between Photomechanics and Finite Element Method for Center Hole.

Simulation for Viscoelastic Flow by a Finite Volume/Element Method

Stability of a second-order finite element/finite volume hybrid scheme is investigated on the basis of flows with increasing Weissenberg number. Finite elements are used to discretise the balances of mass and momentum. For the stress equation a finite volume method is used, based on the recent development with fluctuation distribution schemes for pure convection problems. Examples considered in...

Comparison between Radial and Halbach Array PMLSM by Employing 2-D Electromagnetic Finite Element Analysis

The replacement of steam catapults with electromagnetic ones is becoming an overwhelming trend in aircraft launch systems. The Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) offers significant benefits to the aircraft, ship, personnel, and operational capabilities. EMALS has such advantages as high thrust, good controllability, reusable, etc., as a launching motor, a double-side plate Permanent...

Finite Element Method Simulation and Rapid Prototyping

Rapid Prototyping is part of a modern technologies group whose target is to reduce the designing and manufacturing cycle of a product. One efficient rapid prototyping technique is that of 3D printing and, its benefits in designing and manufacturing elements of a laser medical device are presented by this paper. More, a simulation involving computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer ph...

Modelling and Simulation of Metal Cutting by Finite Element Method

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...
