A toroidal field coil (TFC) is composed of several individual toroidal coils (ITCs), which are connected in a series and distributed in a toroidal and symmetrical form. Cross section of ITCs is rectangular or negligible. This paper presents analytical equations for mutual inductance of two ITCs applicable to Tokamak reactors using the filament method. These equations are based on those formulat...

Based on the V-type diesel engine crankshaft system, the paper combined the finite element method (fem) and multi-body dynamics method together, made a virtual simulation analysis. First, by 3d software and finite element software to establish the multi-body dynamic models of the crankshaft, bearing and piston, then simulated the actual engine working condition, and got the data such as cranksh...

The fast development of computer power and computational algorithms has made it possible to design complex transducers and arrays using computer simulation. Practical examples are given here for transducer modeling using 3-D finite element method (FEM) instead of the traditional 1-D equivalent circuit models. The merits and deficiencies of the frequency domain and time domain FEM formulations w...

recent developments in nanostructured products draw considerable attention to ultrafine grained materials. these materials are normally manufactured by different severe plastic deformation (spd) methods. in the present study, analytical models and finite element method (fem) are used to calculate strain imposed to a specimen that was deformed by equal channel angular pressing (ecap). in additio...

Abstract: In the present study the software CrackComput , based on the Xfem and Xcrack libraries has been used for three problemsto experiment on the convergence properties of the method applied to elasto-statics crack problems, comparison of stress intensity factors to simplified analytical results and study of the Brazilian fracture test. All the problems are treated in two dimensions under p...

A hybrid finite element method/boundary element method (FEM/BEM) is a standard approach for calculating the magnetostatic potential within Micromagnetics [1]. This involves dealing with a dense N ×N -matrix Bij , N being the number of mesh surface nodes. In order to apply the method to ferromagnetic structures with a large surface one needs to apply matrix compression techniques on Bij . An eff...

The main aim of this paper is to study the material removal phenomenon using the finite element method (FEM) analysis for orthogonal cutting, and the impact of cutting speed variation on the chip formation, stress and plastic deformation. We have explored different constitutive models describing the tool-workpiece interaction. The Johnson-Cook constitutive model with damage initiation and damag...

In this paper, a monolithic arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE)-finite element method (FEM) is developed based upon novel ALE mapping for type of parabolic/mixed parabolic moving interface problem with jump coefficients. A stable Stokes-pair mixed FEM within specific stabilization technique and time-difference scheme are to discretize in both semi- fully discrete fashion, which the stability er...

This paper presents a novel approach for simulating 3D muscle deformations with complex architectures. The approach consists in choosing the best model formulation in terms of computation cost and accuracy, that mixes a volumetric-tissue model based on finite element method (3D FEM), a muscle fiber model (Hill contractile 1D element) and a membrane model accounting for aponeurosis tissue (2D FE...

Polygonal meshes show up in more and more applications and the BEMbased Finite Element Method turned out to be a forward-looking approach. The method uses implicitly defined trial functions, which are treated locally by means of Boundary Element Methods (BEM). Due to this choice the BEM-based FEM is applicable on a variety of meshes including hanging nodes. The aim of this presentation is to gi...
