This paper reports the reduction of package-stresses by in tm ducing a decoupling zone directly m u n d a sensor structure. Different geometries of the decoupling zones are compared, using the Fdte Element Method (FEM) and analytical models. A large reduction is obtained in case of a corrugated decoupling zone. To optimize the reduction, an analytical description of a ring-shaped V-groove is gi...

the chromatic dispersion curve of the fundamental mode in small core microstructured fibres (SCMF) is both calculated using a Finite Element Method (FEM) and measured with a low coherence interferometric method. The great sensitivity of the chromatic dispersion to variations of the geometrical parameters of SCMFs (the pitch  and the diameter d) is pointed out. An excellent agreement is obtaine...

In this paper a highly polarization maintaining birefringent photonic crystal fiber at telecommunication window is reported via Full-Vectorial Finite Element Method (FV-FEM). By taking triangular lattice of three ring hexagonal structure PCF with suitable designing parameters such as symmetrical elliptical hole along radial axis of ellipticity a/b=5μm, air hole diameter d=1μm and pitch Λ=2.3μm,...

Staphylococcus aureus (including Methicillin-resistant S. aureus) and coagulase negative Staphylococcus spp (including methicillin-resistant coagulase negative) permanently or transiently colonize humans and act as sources of complicated skin and soft tissue infections, bacteraemia and infective endocarditis. They also cause chronic infection of indwelling medical devices. Treatment of these in...

Purpose Small highly saturated interior permanent magnet- synchronous machines (IPMSMs) show a very nonlinear behaviour. Such are mostly controlled with closed-loop cascade control, which is based on d-q two-axis dynamic model constant concentrated parameters to calculate the control parameters. This paper aims present identification of complete current- and rotor position-dependent model, deri...

Self- and mutual inductances are major design parameters for wireless power transfer (WPT) systems. To optimize a WPT system estimate its performance in terms of received efficiency, it is essential to obtain simple, fast, accurate calculation these two parameters. The polarized double-D (DD) coils were selected due their simplicity structure, high low sensitivity misalignment conditions. This ...

A finite element method (FEM) formulation for the prediction of unknown steady boundary conditions in heat conduction for multi-domain three-dimensional solid objects is presented. The FEM formulation is capable of determining temperatures and heat fluxes on the boundaries where such quantities are unknown, provided such quantities are sufficiently over-specified on other boundaries. An inverse...

A class of inverse problems for the identification of an unknown geometric object from given measurements is considered. A concept for object imaging based on optimality conditions and level sets is introduced which provides high resolution properties of the identification problem and stability to discretization and noise errors. As a specific case, the identification of the center of a test ob...

Using FEM during the design of cathodic protection system can optimize the cathodic protection system and forecast the distribution of potential in real marine environment. A single bar was modeled for which protection was provided by an anode located in different places. Through analysis of each unit and synthesis in the whole area, mathematical model of 3-D finite element was constructed. Pot...

The numerical solution of Helmholtz’ equation at large wavenumber is very expensive if attempted by ”traditional” discretisation methods (FDM, standard Galerkin FEM). For reliable results, the mesh has to be very fine. The bad performance of the traditional FEM for Helmholtz problems can be related to the deterioration of stability of the Helmholtz differential operator at high wavenumber. As a...
