چکیده

A multi-dimensional finite element method (GWADAPT) which utilizes local mesh adaptation is used to calculate groundwater flow and subsurface transport of contaminant in saturated and unsaturated conditions. The model uses simple modifications to increase computational speed and reduce storage, allowing the model to run on PCs and workstations. GWADAPT can be accessed from the web and downloaded to a file. A parallel version of the model runs on an SGI Origin 2000 computer.

Evaluation of Strain Distribution in Bone around Implant in Treatment Design of Overdentures Using Computer and Modeling of Finite Elements

Introduction: Introduction: Few studies have investigated the distribution of stress around implants. In this study the distribution of stress in bones around implants was investigated in five overdenture (OD) treatment designs including OD-1, OD-2, OD-3, OD-4 and OD-5. Materials and methods: The Catia modeling software was used in order to simulate the tooth/implant model and bone. First, the ...

Local Adaptive Grid Refinement (lagr) for Contaminant Transport Modeling

The success of a groundwater contaminant transport model is dependent on: 1) how well the relevant physical, chemical, and microbiological processes controlling subsurface transport are represented with mathematical equations and their parameters, and 2) how accurately and efficiently the equations are solved. For reactive, multicomponent problems in two or more dimensions, the computational bu...

A new plan to connect aluminum tubes of subsurface structures

  In this study, a new method for joining aluminum tubes in subsurface structures using steel converting and aluminum welding are presented and reviewed. But near the weld area is under high thermal cycle and will cause residual stresses in heat affected zone. Therefore for assessment of proposed connection from the perspective of residual stress by using the finite element method welding of tu...
