This article describes a study, using numerical simulation, of the optical properties of nano particles as a function of their size. Many methods introduced to simulate and calculate the interaction of light and particle, such as Mie analysis, boundary element and finite element methods. The Discrete Dipole Approximation (DDA), wherein a target geometry is modeled as a ...

nowadays, textile and woven fabric composites are taken into consideration forapplications in high mechanical properties and every in-plane direction. however, developments inmodelling and characterisation of the fabric reinforced composite materials are considered more inthe effects of element types used in the mesh generation of the crack tip. the type of elementselected for the crack tip, a ...

Finite element simulation can be directly affected by mesh quality. The accuracy of finite element calculations is dependent upon of the mesh quality. Previously, we have introduced a novel approach to the construction of high-quality, isotropic tetrahedral meshes from segmented medical imaging data. This article proposes an experimental evaluation of the impact of our tetrahedral meshes on ele...

Rheological object, such as various food products and biological tissues, has both elastic and plastic properties. Modeling of rheological object has not been studied frequently comparing with the modeling of elastic one. Our previously developed FE models of rheological objects were based on triangular or tetrahedra finite elements. In this paper, the FE model of rheological object formulated ...

In this paper, conforming finite elements on polygon meshes are developed. Polygonal finite elements provide greater flexibility in mesh generation and are better-suited for applications in solid mechanics which involve a significant change in the topology of the material domain. In this study, recent advances in meshfree approximations, computational geometry, and computer graphics are used to...

in this paper, single, bi-layered and three-layered tube hydroforming processes were numerically simulated using the finite element method. it was found that the final bulges heights resulted from the models were in good agreement with the experimental results. three types of modeling were kept with the same geometry, tube material and process parameters to be compared between the obtained hydr...

In the present paper, applicability of the modified fixed grid finite element method in solution of three dimensional elasticity problems of functionally graded materials is investigated. In the non-boundary-fitted meshes, the elements are not conforming to the domain boundaries and the boundary nodes which are used in the traditional finite element method for the application of boundary condit...

in recent years, the number of research works devoted to applying the highly accurate numerical schemes, in particular compact finite difference schemes, to numerical simulation of complex flow fields with multi-scale structures, is increasing. the use of compact finite-difference schemes are the simple and powerful ways to reach the objectives of high accuracy and low computational cost. compa...
