Original scientific paper Comparison between analytical and numerical determination of the added hydrodynamic mass in ship vibration analysis is performed. Analytical analysis was done on a semi-submerged cylinder of a circular cross section. Numerical calculations were carried out by the boundary element method (BEM) implemented in NX Nastran finite element (FE) software. Fairly good agreement...

3D Hybrid Finite Element Finite Difference Time Domain (FE/FDTD) Method is developed and applied to the numerical modeling of antennas. The antenna geometry is modeled using tetrahedral finite element mesh. Pyramidal elements are introduced in the transition from unstructured tetrahedral elements to structured hexahedral elements. The finite element formulation incorporates the excitation of an...

It is commonly postulated that local mechanics (tissue stress or strain) is related to stimuli for bone remodeling [1]. A micro finite element ( FE) solver was developed in our lab to numerically predict the local stress and strain in bone structure [2,3]. Micro-computed tomography ( CT) can provide high resolution image data suitable to the FE solver and allows non-destructive, three-dimension...

finite and boundary element methods have been used by many authors to solve mathematicalphysics problems. however, the coupling of these two methods happens to be more efficient as it combinestheir merits. in this paper, the mathematical analysis of the coupling of finite and boundary element methodsfor the helmholtz equation is presented.

Robust generation of pelvic finite element models is necessary to understand the variation in mechanical behaviour resulting from differences in gender, aging, disease and injury. The objective of this study was to apply and evaluate mesh morphing and mapping techniques to facilitate the creation and structural analysis of specimen-specific finite element (FE) models of the pelvis. A specimen-s...

Finite Element (FE) simulations are present in many different branches of science. The growth in the complexity of FE models and their associated costs bring the demand to facilitate the construction, reuse and reproducibility of FE models. This work demonstrates how Semantic Web technologies can be used to represent FE simulation data, improving the reproducibility and automation of FE simulat...

This paper considers the extension of the frequency application range of the finite element method (FEM) applied to steady-state acoustic problems. This is achieved by the hybrid coupling of the FEM with the wave based method (WBM). The WBM is a computationally efficient alternative for the FEM, but it is restricted to acoustic problems of moderate geometrical complexity. The hybrid finite elem...

Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed using traditional finite element interpolations (i.e., Hermite cubic or equi-spaced Lagrange functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, total rotation φ and/or shear strain γxz, or in the integral form u...

Using ANSYS finite element (FE) package, a multi-physics simulation model based on finite element method (FEM) is introduced for the multi-layer switched reluctance motor (SRM) in the present paper. The simulation model is created totally in ANSYS parametric design language (APDL) as a parametric model usable for various conventional types of this motor and it is included electromagnetic, therm...

there are many parameters that affect the sheet hydroforming process such as fluid pressure, material properties, interfacial friction between blank and tool surfaces, etc. in this paper, a fem-based taguchi method is used to determine the effects of forming parameters on the quality of part formability in the process of hydrodynamic deep drawing assisted by radial pressure. four important form...
