Axial-flux permanent magnet synchronous machine (AFPMSM) enjoys the merits of high torque density and efficiency, which make it one good candidate in direct-drive application. The AFPMSM is usually analyzed based on three-dimensional finite element method (3D FEM) due to its magnetic field distribution. However, 3D FEM suffers large amount calculation, time-consuming not suitable for optimizati...

This paper describes the project of the Close Range Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Group, University of Vigo, Spain, involving historic arch bridges in Galicia, Spain. The first aim of this Project consists on building a database of the historic arch bridges in Galicia, documenting location, surroundings, geometry, singular characteristics, structural faults, building material and state of c...

Real-time simulation and animation of global deformation of 3D objects, using finite element method (FEM), is difficult due to the following 3 fundamental problems: (1) The linear elastic model is inappropriate for simulating large motion and large deformations (unacceptable distortion will occur); (2) The time step for dynamic integration has to be drastically reduced to simulate collisions; (...

Electromagnetic forces in power transformer windings are produced by interaction between the leakage fluxes and current passing them. Since the leakage flux distribution along the windings height is in two axial and radial directions, so the electromagnetic forces have two components, radial and axial. There is a risk that a large electromagnetic force due to the short circuit or inrush current...

Porous materials can be found in numerous areas of life (e. g., applied science, material science), however, the simulation fluid flow and transport phenomena through porous media is a significant challenge nowadays. Numerical simulations help to analyze understand physical processes different structure, as well determine certain parameters that are difficult or impossible measure directly only...
