Induction motors and the generators ofen have problems associated with noise and vibration. Consequently,there is need for prediction of noise and vibration during the design of these machines.The Finite Element Modeling(FEM) method is used for the prediction and evaluation of natural frequencies and mode shapes of electrical equipment.However, FEM is ofen very difficalt,becouse of the influenc...

Dynamic NURBS, also called D-NURBS, is a known dynamic version of the nonuniform rational B-spline (NURBS) which integrates free-form shape representation and a physically-based model in a unified framework. More recently, computer aided design (CAD) and finite element (FEM) community realized the need to unify CAD and FEM descriptions which motivates a review of D-NURBS concepts. Therefore, in...

In the present paper, we discuss the novel concept of super-compressed tensorstructured data formats in high dimensional applications. We describe the multifolding or quantics based tensor approximation method of O(d logN)-complexity (i.e., with logarithmic scaling in the volume size), applied to the discrete functions over the product index set {1, ..., N}⊗d, or briefly N -d tensors of size Nd...

The self-fertile hermaphrodites of C. elegans and C. briggsae evolved from female ancestors by acquiring limited spermatogenesis. Initiation of C. elegans hermaphrodite spermatogenesis requires germline translational repression of the female-promoting gene tra-2, which allows derepression of the three male-promoting fem genes. Cessation of hermaphrodite spermatogenesis requires fem-3 translatio...

In this paper we consider the standard bilinear nite element method (FEM) and the corresponding streamline diiusion FEM for the singularly perturbed elliptic boundary value problem ?" (@ 2 u @x 2 + @ 2 u @y 2) ? b(x; y) ru + a (x; y)u = f (x; y) in the two space dimensions. By using the asymptotic expansion method of Vishik and Lyusternik 42] and the technique we used in 25, 26], we prove that ...

A new nite element method for elliptic problems with locally periodic microstructure of length " > 0 is developed and analyzed. It is shown that the method converges, as " ! 0, to the solution of the homogenized problem with optimal order in " and exponentially in the number of degrees of freedom independent of " > 0. The computational work of the method is bounded independently of ". Numerical...

Both diffusion approximation (DA) and Monte Carlo (MC) models have been used to simulate light distribution in multilayered human skin with or without discrete blood vessels. However, no detailed comparison of the light distribution, heat generation and induced thermal damage between these two models has been done for discrete vessels. Three models were constructed: (1) MC-based finite element ...

In this paper a highly polarization maintaining birefringent photonic crystal fiber at telecommunication window is reported via Full-Vectorial Finite Element Method (FV-FEM). By taking triangular lattice of three ring hexagonal structure PCF with suitable designing parameters such as symmetrical elliptical hole along radial axis of ellipticity a/b=5μm, air hole diameter d=1μm and pitch Λ=2.3μm,...

We develop LNG FEM, a software package for graded mesh generation and for solving elliptic equations. LNG FEM generates user-specified graded meshes on arbitrary two-dimensional domains with straight edges, for different boundary conditions, once initial information is passed to the program by appropriately filling out some source files. We focus on a detailed instruction on the implementation ...

We have isolated nine gain-of-function (gf) alleles of the sex-determination gene fem-3 as suppressors of feminizing mutations in fem-1 and fem-2. The wild-type fem-3 gene is needed for spermatogenesis in XX self-fertilizing hermaphrodites and for male development in both soma and germ line of XO animals. Loss-of-function alleles of fem-3 transform XX and XO animals into females (spermless herm...
