In this paper we present a new model for calculating the capacitance of MEMS sensor with corrugated diaphragm. In this work the effect of residual stress is considered on deflection of diaphragm and capacitance of sensor. First, a new analytical analyzes have been carried out to derive mathematic expressions for central deflection of corrugated diaphragm and its relationship with residual stres...

In this paper, a numerical simulation to analyze the influence of the surrounding water in a turbine runner has been carried out using finite element method (FEM). First, the sensitivity of the FEM model on the element shape and mesh density has been analysed. Secondly, with the optimized FEM model, the modal behaviour with the runner vibrating in air and in water has been calculated. The added...

Due to the avascular tumor growths were a complex activities that involved a chemical process and a physical process, a Finite Element Method (FEM) based mixture model was proposed in this paper. For the chemical process, the FEM was used to solve the reaction diffusion equations of three chemicals, which are the oxygen, glucose and GIF, under several specified boundary conditions. For the phys...

This paper presents an agile simulation-aided shape editing system for personal fabrication applications. The finite element structural analysis and geometric design are seamlessly integrated within our system to provide users interactive structure analysis feedback during mesh editing. Observing the fact that most editing operations are actually local, a domain decomposition framework is emplo...
