The wind turbine blade is an important component for harnessing energy. It plays a vital role in operation. In this work, study was conducted to investigate the dynamic behavior of optimal rotary with bond graph approach simulated MATLAB/Simulink. model considered as twisted Rayleigh beam which made several sections type SG6043 airfoil. This airfoil suitable low conditions, and each section sub...

Power transformer analysis and design focusing on the equivalent circuit parameter evaluation by magnetic field numerical calculation is presented. Two kinds of numerical techniques are examined: the threedimensional (3D) finite element method (FEM), adopting a particular reduced scalar potential formulation and the 3D mixed finite element-boundary element (FEM-BEM) method. The methods are vali...

INTRODUCTION In this study, we intend to use diffuse optical Tomography (DOT) as a noninvasive, safe and low cost technique that can be considered as a functional imaging method and mention the importance of image reconstruction in accuracy and procession of image. One of the most important and fastest methods in image reconstruction is the boundary element method (BEM). This method is introduc...

Sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation, a workshop on the boundary element method (BEM) was held on the campus of the University of Akron during September 1–3, 2010 (NSF, 2010, “Workshop on the Emerging Applications and Future Directions of the Boundary Element Method,” University of Akron, Ohio, September 1–3). This paper was prepared after this workshop by the organizers and partic...

Multimodality NIR spectroscopy systems offer the possibility of region-based vascular and molecular characterization of tissue in vivo. However, computationally efficient 3D image reconstruction algorithms specific to these image-guided systems currently do not exist. Image reconstruction is often based on finite-element methods (FEMs), which require volume discretization. Here, a boundary elem...

The Boundary Element Method (BEM) has long been considered to be a viable alternative to the Finite Element Method (FEM) for doing engineering analysis. The BEM reduces the dimensions of the problem by one and leads to smaller system of equations. One of the inherent limitations of the BEM has been the long time required for the solution of large problems. This makes the BEM prohibitively expen...

We analyze adaptive mesh-refining algorithms in the frame of boundary element methods (BEM) and the coupling of finite elements and boundary elements (FEM-BEM). Adaptivity is driven by the two-level error estimator proposed by Ernst P. Stephan, Norbert Heuer, and coworkers in the frame of BEM and FEM-BEM or by the residual error estimator introduced by Birgit Faermann for BEM for weakly-singula...

Bright-field high-speed cinemicrography was employed to record the swimming of six unipolar cells of Spirillum volutans. A complete set of geometrical parameters for each of these six cells, which are of typical but varying dimensions, was measured experimentally. For each cell, the mean swimming linear and angular speeds were measured for a period representing an exact number of flagellar cycl...

In this paper, the Boundary Element Method (BEM) for 3-D elastostatic problems is studied for the analysis of shell or shell-like structures. It is shown that the conventional boundary integral equation (CBIE) for 3-D elasticity does not degenerate when applied to shell-like structures, contrary to the case when it is applied to crack-like problems where it does degenerate due to the closeness ...

The Boundary Element Method (BEM) is a well-established numerical method for simulation of physical phenomena including structural, fluid flow and heat transfer analysis. It is particularly interesting in electromagnetics because of its handling of open region problems and its accuracy in computing the fields where gradients are high. Classical BEM, however, does not inherently contain a facili...
