In present study, the effect of reservoir length on seismic performance of concrete gravity dam has been investigated. Monte Carlo probabilistic analysis has been used to achieve a sensitivity of the responses to variation of truncated reservoir length in finite element model. The ANSYS software based on finite element method is applied for modeling and analysis. The Pine Flat dam in California...

Rotor crack detection method by using multi-vibration signals gathered at the basements is presented in this paper. The finite element software ANSYS is applied for analyzing the vibration response characteristics of the basement to determine sensor configuration. Feature fusion for time-domain statistics of multiple sensors is performed by using the support vector machine to diagnose the depth...

A double coil magnetorheological (MR) valve with an outer annular resistance gap was designed and prototyped. The finite element modeling and analysis of double coil MR valve were carried out using ANSYS/ Emag software, and the optimal magnetic field distribution and magnetic flux density of the double coil MR valve were achieved. The mechanism of the pressure drop was studied by building a mat...

A 3D mathematical model of orthodontic archwire with rectangular curve is established. Simplified 3D solid model of orthodontic archwire bending robot, which is consistent of bending die, support structure and archwire are established by Creo software, then the simplified model of bending die is put into ANSYS Workbench. Material parameters the contact condition and boundary conditions are set ...

The present work is carried out to investigate heat transfer and friction factor characteristics of fluid (air) flow through turbulent channel i.e. parallel plate heat exchanger for different geometry and designs parameters, with a bottom plate applied to uniform constant heat flux thermal boundary condition, and upper plate is provided with a insulated condition. The fluid domain is designed u...

A simple optimization task is programmed by using the built- in programming possibilities of two finite element systems: ANSYS APDL (Parametric Design Language) and COSMOS/M built-in macro language. The same program written different language resulting listings compared. demonstration problem to find minimum safe radius an L-shape model, loaded a uniform surface pressure. solve this builds solv...
