Abstract We present an on chip phase shifter based a polymeric slot waveguide and liquid–crystal cladding, which is capable of reaching high tuning ranges, low control voltages propagation losses. Our analysis includes purely numerical 3D-Finite-Difference-Time-Domain method semi-analytical 2D-Finite-Element-Method approach. Both analyses are in agreement, confirm the performances. have used an...

A numerical method for a 2-dimensional surface fire model taking into account moisture content and radiation is developed. We consider the combustion of a porous solid, where a simplified energy conservation equation is applied. The effects of the moisture content and the endothermic pyrolysis of the vegetation are introduced in the model by means of a multivalued function representing the enth...

By the simple finite element method, we study the symplectic, multisymplectic structures and relevant preserving properties in some semi-linear elliptic boundary value problem in one-dimensional and two-dimensional spaces respectively. We find that with uniform mesh, the numerical schemes derived from finite element method can keep a preserved symplectic structure in one-dimensional case and a ...

Various methods for calculating the capacitance of unloaded rolling elements are compared to improve electric characterization element bearings. Semi-analytical approximations and finite simulations applied a closed-form analytical two-dimensional solution is derived comparison. The results show that most common semi-analytical approximation, which uses effective radii express contact geometry,...

Auxetic cellular solids in the forms of honeycombs and foams have great potential in a diverse range of applications, including as core material in curved sandwich panel composite components, radome applications, directional pass band filters, adaptive and deployable structures, filters and sieves, seat cushion material, energy absorption components, viscoelastic damping materials and fastening...

Original scientific paper Comparison between analytical and numerical determination of the added hydrodynamic mass in ship vibration analysis is performed. Analytical analysis was done on a semi-submerged cylinder of a circular cross section. Numerical calculations were carried out by the boundary element method (BEM) implemented in NX Nastran finite element (FE) software. Fairly good agreement...

The purpose of this paper is the calculation of Unbalanced Magnetic Force (UMF) in permanent magnet brushless DC (PMBLDC) machines with diametrically asymmetric winding and investigation of UMF variations in the presence of phase advance angle. This paper presents an analytical model of UMF in surface mounted PMBLDC machines that have a fractional ratio of slot number to pole number. This model...

the aim of this work is to investigate the variational discretization and mixed finite element methods for optimal control problem governed by semi linear parabolic equations with integral constraint. the state and co-state are approximated by the lowest order raviart-thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control is not discreted. optimal error estimates in l2 are established for the state...

In this paper, a semi-analytical approach is proposed to solve natural frequencies and natural modes for circular plates with multiple circular holes by using the indirect formulation in conjunction with degenerate kernels and Fourier series. All the kernels in the indirect formulation are expanded into degenerate form. By uniformly collocating points on the boundary, a linear algebraic system ...
