We study dynamical consequences of the kink instability of a twisted coronal flux rope, using the force-free coronal loop model by Titov & Démoulin (1999) as the initial condition in ideal-MHD simulations. When a critical value of the twist is exceeded, the long-wavelength (m=1) kink mode develops. Analogous to the well-known cylindrical approximation, a helical current sheet is then formed at ...

In this paper, Computer Aided Designing (CAD) in conjunction with Rapid Tooling is applied to design and produce forming tools (punch and die) for stretch-formed jewelry (generated on thin sheet metal on top of which jewelry patterns are raised with forming tools by stretching the sheet metal beyond its elastic limit. The work presents a parametric voxel based CAD paradigm for modeling of such ...

This study aims to gain knowledge on how hydroelastic waves interact with off-shore structures, for example off-shore wind turbines or oil rigs. The linear two-dimensional problem of hydroelastic waves reflected by a vertical wall is analysed. Water is of finite depth and is covered by ice. The fluid is assumed incompressible and inviscid. The ice sheet is assumed thin compared with both the wa...

The horizontal and vertical components of the on-time electromagnetic (EM) response can be used to estimate parameters simple models like thin sheets, half-spaces, sheets over a lower half-space two-layer model. formulae in these methods are valid areas where is essentially proportional conductivity or conductance, so called "resistive limit". thin-sheet combined give an for below thick sheet t...

This paper describes sheet modeling and thickening operations based on a non-manifold topological representation for efficient solid modeling of thin-walled plastic or sheet metal parts. Since the existing methods have adopted boundary representations for solid models, it is difficult to represent the exact adjacency relations between topological entities in a sheet model, and to describe a mix...
