Dynamic response analysis of mechanical structures is usually performed by adopting numerical/analytical models. Finite element (FE) modeling as a numerical approach plays an important role in dynamic response analysis of complex structures. The calculated dynamic responses from FE analysis are only reliable if accurate FE models are used. There are many elements in real mechanical structures w...

This work examines the effect of quantitative uncertainties modeling on the need for refined Finite Element (FE) meshes, as well as the influence of mesh density on the results obtained using FE models including uncertainties. According to the numerical investigation performed, the modeling of uncertainties has an effect on the accuracy of the FE solution sought and relaxes the need for increas...

in this work the kinetic data demanded for kinetic modeling were obtained in temperatures 350, 400, 450 and 500 oc by conducting experimentations on a fe-cr nanocatalyst prepared from a novel method and a commercial fe-cr-cu one. the collected data were subjected to kinetic modeling by using two models derived from redox and associative mechanisms as well as an empirical one. the coefficients o...

Finite element (FE) numerical simulation is an effective tool for analyzing phenomena that cannot be clarified by experimental methods, like most of the biomechanical processes, for example the age-related spinal degeneration processes. Moreover, numerical simulation techniques have the potential to reduce costs and to save time during the development of new effective spinal treatment methods o...

Accurate modeling of head volume conductor plays an important role in EEG/MEG forward and inverse problems. The finite element (FE) modeling of realistic head is a key issue for the finite element analysis of brain electromagnetic field. Various FE modeling methods have been investigated and developed recently to model the realistic head volume conductor, but these methods either use approximat...

The objective of this paper is to describe strategies for addressing technical aspects of the computational modeling of ligaments with the finite element (FE) method. Strategies for FE modeling of ligament mechanics are described, differentiating between whole-joint models and models of individual ligaments. Common approaches to obtain three-dimensional ligament geometry are reviewed, with an e...

VISP MMK 2 SUMMARY The finite element (FE) method is a general method to model and simulate the physical behavior of bodies with arbitrary shape. There is a desire to create and use FE models early in the design process as well as to use the method detailing of complex artifacts. Modeling of the dynamic behavior of a multi-body system (MBS) is characterized by a composition of rigid bodies, int...
