Simulation of grinding is a topic of great interest due to the wide application of the process in modern industry. Several modeling methods have been utilized in order to accurately describe the complex phenomena taking place during the process, the most common being the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). In the present work, a FEM model and an ANN model for p...

Oxyhydrogen is a mixture of Hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) gases. Detonative mixtures of oxyhydrogens with various combinations of these two gases were used in Gas Detonation Forming (GDF) to form sheets of mild steel. In die forming experiments, three types of conical dies with apex angles of 60, 90 and 120 degrees were used. Pressure of mixtures inside the chamber before detonation was varied ...

Due to the inaccessibility of the inner ear, direct in vivo information on cochlear mechanics is difficult to obtain. Mathematical modelling is a promising way to provide insight into the physiology and pathology of the cochlea. Finite element method (FEM) is one of the most popular discrete mathematical modelling techniques, mainly used in engineering that has been increasingly used to model t...

An extended spectral domain approach (ESDA) is applied to evaluate the scattering parameter of laterally slotted coaxial antenna for hyperthermia treatment. The results calculated by ESDA are in good agreement with that by Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation. Computational labor of the present method is far lighter than that of FEM, and the method is suitable for the iterative computation th...

The scattering analysis from metallic Grid FSS consisting of rectangular perforations on a thick metallic screen illuminated by an oblique incident plane wave is presented. The grid structure is analyzed using Scale Changing Technique (SCT) which is based on the partition of the grid-plane into planar sub-domains defined at various scale-levels. Electromagnetic interaction between subsequent sc...

A new nite element method for elliptic problems with locally periodic microstructure of length " > 0 is developed and analyzed. It is shown that the method converges, as " ! 0, to the solution of the homogenized problem with optimal order in " and exponentially in the number of degrees of freedom independent of " > 0. The computational work of the method is bounded independently of ". Numerical...

Methods of damage development analyses for various types of composite materials such as 3-D woven composite have not been established sufficiently because it is quite difficult to simulate the failure propagation. A FEM simulation of failure process of 3-D composite was executed by Mibayashi including the thermal residual stresses after the curing process, and the deformations and stresses calc...
