This paper considers a new switched reluctance motor (SRM) structure aiming at high starting torque with low volume. For some applications such as EVs (Electrical Vehicles), the motor volume and starting torque is a critical point in its design. In many methods, reducing the motor volume causes reduction in starting torque and decreases the motor efficiency. Unlike conventional SRMs, the rotor ...

This work demonstrates with numerical simulations, the feasibility of a wide frequency range and high pressure level piezoresistive microphone based on MEMS technology. An accurate lumped-element model was used to optimize the microphone dynamic response. Mechanical lumped parameters were extracted from structural finite element method (FEM) simulations, while squeeze film fluid parameters were...

This paper deals with the coupled procedure of the boundary element method (BEM) and the finite element method (FEM) for the exterior boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation. A circle is selected as the common boundary on which the integral equation is set up with Fourier expansion. As a result, the exterior problems are transformed into nonlocal boundary value problems in a bounded ...

A new way of modelling and solving partial differential equations is derived. While the finite element (FE) methodology is based on the integration over finite elements, this novel approach utilizes edges (finite lines) instead, which results in a finite line integration (FLIM). We present how the FE-computations over elements (areas or volumes) can be rewritten for the stiffness matrix based o...

controversy exists regarding cavity preparation for restoration of interproximal caries in posterior teeth in terms of preserving the tooth structure and suitable stress distribution. this study aimed to assess the effect of extension and type of class ii cavities and the remaining tooth structure in maxillary premolars restored with composite resin on the biomechanical properties of teeth usin...

This paper used the equation of the deflected axis of a beam to present procedures for solving one-dimensional functions that can be expressed in the form of Poisson equation. The equation of the deflected axis of a beam was solved for deflection for GRP composite component by Finite Element Method (FEM) using integrated FEM-Galerki approach to derive the finite elements equations. The critical...

Power transformer analysis and design focusing on the equivalent circuit parameter evaluation by magnetic field numerical calculation is presented. Two kinds of numerical techniques are examined: the threedimensional (3D) finite element method (FEM), adopting a particular reduced scalar potential formulation and the 3D mixed finite element-boundary element (FEM-BEM) method. The methods are vali...

The time-domain finite-element method (TD–FEM) is a reliable numerical method for room acoustics simulation. With the recent progress in computer technology, the use of FEM at high frequencies has become a realistic option. However, efficient simulation at high frequencies is still cited as a challenging task. One of the key to realize such simulation is to reduce the discretization error calle...

A Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna (RDRA) is theoretically analyzed using the Conventional Dielectric Waveguide Model (CDWM), numerically simulated using the High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) software package and experimentally investigated with the consideration of the fundamental mode TE 111. Antenna parameters under investigation inclu...

As shown in an earlier work, the FEM-BEM alternating method is an efficient and accurate method for fracture analysis. In the present paper, a further improvement is formulated and implemented for the analyses of three-dimensional arbitrary surface cracks by modeling the cracks in a local finite-sized subdomain using the symmetric Galerkin boundary element method (SGBEM). The finite element met...
