Spacers in the compact power distribution network are essential components for support, organization, and spacing of conductors. To improve reliability these have an optimized design, it is necessary to evaluate performance variation their geometric parameters. The analysis fundamental, considering that there several models available validated by electric utilities. Due various possible design ...

The (micro-)finite element analysis based on three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) data of human bone takes place on complicated domains composed of often hundreds of millions of voxel elements. The finite element analysis is used to determine stresses and strains at the trabecular level of bone. It is even used to predict fracture of osteoporotic bone. However, the computed stresses can d...

Climate modeling encompasses an enormous range of spatial and temporal scales. One of its great remaining challenges is bridging the scale gaps between global climate processes, basinscale and regional impacts, and smaller-scale ecosystem dynamics. Improving and accessing enhanced computational resources will help bridge this gap. Nonetheless, enhanced computer power alone is insufficient witho...

A novel numerical formulation for solving fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems is proposed where the fluid field spatially discretized using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and structural finite element method (FEM). As compared to fully mesh- or grid-based FSI frameworks, due Lagrangian nature of SPH this framework can be easily extended account more complex fluids consisting multi...
