this study investigated the performance and aeroelastic characteristics of a wind turbine blade based on strongly coupled approach (two-way fluid structure interaction) to simulate the transient fsi1 responses of hawt2. aerodynamic response was obtained by 3d cfd-urans approach and structural response was obtained by 3d finite element method. aeroelastic responses of the blade were obtained by ...

the impact resistance of new lightweight panel is studied. this panel consists of two thin metal layers bonded together by intermediate fiber/epoxy layers (mcm-sheets). to simulate a behavior of this kind of impact problem, explicit and implicit finite element software abaqus is used. in order to validate the finite element modeling, these results have been compared with experimental test resul...

A detailed a priori error estimate is provided for a continuous-discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the generalized 2D vorticity dynamics equations which describe several types of geophysical flows, including the Euler equations. The algorithm consists of a continuous Galerkin finite element method for the stream function and a discontinous Galerkin finite element method for the (p...

introduction: effects of melatonin (mt) were comparatively examined on melanophores of isolated skin in adults and tadpole’s tailfin of a frog rana cyanophlyctis. mt is generally considered as a potent melanophores aggregating hormone besides regulating the sleep wake cycle in vertebrates. methods: melanophore size index (msi) was chosen as a recording parameter of the responses. concentration-...

latticed columns are frequently used in industrial steel structures. in some countries these built-up columns might be even used in other types of steel structures such as residential and commercial buildings. besides, latticed columns are parts of skeletons of many historic buildings all around the world. to analyze a steel structure with latticed columns a more accurate numerical model for su...

This paper introduces a new formulation of high frequency time-harmonic scattering problems in view of a numerical finite element solution. It is well-known that pollution error causes inaccuracies in the finite element solution of short-wave problems. To partially avoid this precision problem, the strategy proposed here consists in firstly numerically computing at a low cost an approximate pha...

Large strains, anisotropy of mechanical properties of materials and Coulomb friction in contact regions are some properties in the analysis of deep drawing process. In this research, the effects of different parameters such as anisotropy coefficient, work hardening exponent and friction coefficient on deep drawing process of drawing quality steel are studied. For this purpose, the finite elemen...
