Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using Finite Element Method (FEM) was developed over 70 years to solve the complex elasticity and structural analysis problem in civil and aeronautical engineering. Application of FEA is being expanded to simulation in electrical engineering also to solve the complex design problems. The circuit theory models for designing transformers are not much accurate in dete...

This paper deals with steady-state analysis of the magnetic field by using Finite Element Method (FEM) in salient poles synchronous motor with damper (SPSMD). The knowledge of electromechanical characteristics is very important in performance analysis of electrical machines, in general. In this paper it presents a methodology for numerical calculation of electromechanical quantities, starting w...

Methods A Finite Element Method (FEM) model is used to simulate industrial forming processes such as bending and deepdrawing. The model consists of multiple polymer and metal layers. The simulations are performed using the FEM programMARC, which is coupled to an external program. The coupling is required for the meshing of the model and other features. Results Bending and deep-draw simulations ...

Thermal engineering has long been left out of the concurrent engineering environment dominated by CAD (computer aided design) and FEM (finite element method) software. Current tools attempt to force the thermal design process into an environment primarily created to support structural analysis, which results in inappropriate thermal models. As a result, many thermal engineers either build model...

In this paper, free and forced vibration analysis of functionally graded material cylinders was carried out by mesh-free and finite element method. In this analysis, MLS shape functions are used for approximation of displacement field in the weak form of motion equation and essential boundary conditions are imposed by transformation method. Resulted set of differential equations are solved usin...

The present model discusses the drug distribution in the layers of human dermal parts. We have considered tissue absorption rate of drug is decreasing function of drug concentration, also considered linear shape functions for approximating element wise approximate solution by Finite Element Method (FEM).In this method each region is referred to as an element and the process of subdividing a dom...

A Finite Element Method (FEM) mesh is converted to a reluctance network through an original magnetostatic formulation based on face shape functions. This meshed reluctance network is coupled with an standard one, characterizing a 0D system. Both approaches are fully-compatible and the hybridized problem can be solve with a single circuit solver. The approach is tested in 2D on a magnetic circui...

Development of very high speed integrated circuits is currently of great interests for today’s technologies. This paper presents the quasi-TEM approach for the accurate parameters extraction of multiconductor transmission lines interconnect in four-layered dielectric region using the finite element method (FEM). We illustrate that FEM is accurate and effective for modeling multilayered multicon...

A numerical modelling approach capable of simulating Shot Peening (SP) processes of industrial interest was developed by combining the Discrete Element Method (DEM) with the Finite Element Method (FEM). In this approach, shot-shot and shot-target interactions as well as the overall shot flow were simulated efficiently using rigid body dynamics. A new algorithm to dynamically adapt the coefficie...

In this paper, we have used numerical simulation to study failure of adhesive joints in composite plates. To determine the failure load, adhesive joints are subjected to different types of loading and gradual failure of the joint is studied using the finite element method. The composite material failure theory is implemented into the FEM software. Also different geometries for the joint edge ar...
