چکیده

This paper presents an overview on applications of hybrid finite element method to thermal analysis of heterogeneous materials. Recent developments on the hybrid fundamental solution based finite element model (FEM) of heat transfer in nonlinear functionally graded materials (FGMs) and composite materials are described. Formulations for all cases are derived by means of modified variational functional and fundamental solutions. Generation of elemental stiffness equations from the modified variational principle is also discussed. Finally, a brief summary of the approach is provided.

Electrical and Thermal Analysis of Single Conductor Power Cable Considering the Lead Sheath Effect Based on Finite Element Method

This paper investigates the effect of metallic sheaths on losses and temperature of medium voltage power cables. Two grounding methods of sheaths, including both ends bonding and single point bonding that causes different situations on cable ampacity, are considered. Electrical losses of cables that are main sources of heat are calculated in both conductor and metallic sheath of the cables. She...
