The Magneto Caloric Effect is an intrinsic property of a magnetic solid. It is the response of this solid to the application or removal of magnetic fields [1]. When magnetic material is subjected to a magnetic field the magnetic moments are aligned and the magnetic entropy is lower. And the sample heats up when the field is removed the magnetic entropy is increased and the temperature is lowere...

The Magneto Caloric Effect is an intrinsic property of a magnetic solid. It is the response of this solid to the application or removal of magnetic fields. When magnetic material (Regenerator) is subjected to a magnetic field the magnetic moments are aligned and the magnetic entropy is lower. And the sample heats up when the field is removed the magnetic entropy is increased and the temperature...

This paper presents a dynamic biomechanical model of the face. It is implemented with a finite element method in the ANSYS software environment. A three layered mesh adapted to the description of the complex face muscles’ courses have been defined. Soft tissues are modelled using a hyperelastic law. The variations of muscle tissues’ mechanical properties associated with muscle activation are fu...

A new method is used to quantify the relationships between stress field and primary fracture characters (aperture, density) in low-permeability sandstone reservoirs based on laboratory experiments and mathematical development, through which, quantitative fracture modeling is set up. Using this modeling, we can load it into the stress analysis software (Ansys 10.0) to acquire 3D palaeo stress fi...

The purpose of this study is to develop a numerical approach to simulate the creep cracking of a Ni-base superalloy. The approach is based in continuum damage mechanics (CDM) and uses the classic Kachanov-Rabotnov constitutive equations for creep deformation and damage evolution. Creep damage takes the form of defects such as microcracks, cavities, voids, etc. A numerical crack growth algorithm...

Regulations and customer demands put pressure on rail designers to deliver passenger coaches with comfortable climates. In the past, Siemens engineers spent about four months testing passenger coaches in a climate wind tunnel to validate the design of the heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) system. Now they use ANSYS Fluent computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to validate the design ...

The computational prediction of hemolysis based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is considered in the present work. Hemodynamics is computed by relying on ANSYS software and coupled with a postprocessing based on Matlab. The purpose of the project is to develop a reliable CFD-based technique to predict hemolysis in medical equipments, especially blood pumps, that will be ultimately include...

Carbon fibers were pretreated by ultrasonic agitation and then were used to manufacture carbon fiber-reinforced wood composites (CFRWCs). The modulus of rupture (MOR) and the modulus of elasticity (MOE) for the CFRWCs were measured. The effects of the compounding pattern and proportion of carbon fiber on the dynamic performance were investigated by dynamic thermomechanical analysis (DMA) and fi...

In systems and control theory dynamical systems described by partial differential equations are known as distributed parameter systems. For modelling and dynamical analysis of distributed parameter systems wide possibilities are offered by virtual software environments as ANSYS, COMSOL Multiphysics, ProCAST, MODFLOW, based on numerical solution of sets of partial differential equations by finit...

A steel plate material Hardox can be used also as a core design material for the production of ballistic barriers or traps at the shooting ranges for small arms. The article deals with the results of experiments with shooting weapon systems of a high ballistic performance and with Finite Element Method simulation of the projectile penetration upon the steel plate using the software Ansys Autody...
