The design and numerical modeling using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of electric field strength in programmable neural switch is carried out. The obtained model provided good approximation to the derived complex analytical solution. Effect of electrode separation and field spread in both x and y directions are studied and explained. Boundary effect on field strength representation is discussed...

This paper describes the use of BIM models derived from point clouds for structural simulation based on Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Although BIM interoperability has reached a significant level of maturity, the density of laser point clouds provides very detailed BIM models that cannot directly be used in FEA software. The rationalization of the BIM towards a new finite element model is not ...

Hadrosaurid and ceratopsid dentaries display traits that suggest divergent functions toward broadly similar diets of fibrous plants. Computed tomographic scans of dentaries of a lambeosaurine and a centrosaurine (Centrosaurus aptertus) were used to compare feeding function of these animals using finite element analysis (FEA). In the hadrosaur, mediolateral expansion of the dentary and elongatio...

Finite element analysis (FEA) and continuum mechanics techniques have been used to model the thermal residual stress distribution in bonded joints and assess the suitability of using two-dimensional (2D) analysis methods. The methods are first employed to investigate stresses in metal-epoxy bi-material strip samples. The change in curvature of two bi-material strip systems during heating and co...

Even in homogenous soil and for simple geometrical structure the analytical design of a grounding system is a complex and not very accurate procedure. Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) it can perform a precise design for complex grounding systems but with important hardware resources and time consumption. This paper proposes a methodology for power system grounding design, directed to ensure ...

In this paper, a goal-oriented error estimation technique for static response sensitivity analysis is proposed based on the constitutive relation error (CRE) estimation for finite element analysis (FEA). Strict upper and lower bounds of various quantities of interest (QoI) associated with the response sensitivity derivative fields are acquired. Numerical results are presented to validate the st...

Abstract: In this work, an effective field-modulated permanent-magnet (FMPM) machine was investigated, in which the spoke-magnet outer rotor and open-slot stator were employed. The objective of this paper is to provide the mathematical modeling analysis that was performed for the purpose of control research on this type of FMPM machine. The simulation results by means of finite element analysis...

Abstract Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a technique to identify the viscoelastic moduli of biological tissues by solving the inverse problem from the displacement field of viscoelastic wave propagation in a tissue measured by MRI. Because finite element analysis (FEA) of MRE evaluates not only the viscoelastic model for a tissue but also the efficiency of the inversion algorithm, we d...

In this article, we present a specific shape of disk laser which is side-pumped by four non-symmetric hollow- ducts. The use of non-symmetric hollow duct based on two goals of the uniformity of the pump light distribution profile and the homogeneity of pump light profile through the disk. First of all we simulated the pump light distribution in the disk by using Monte-Carlo ray tracing method. ...
