This paper describes an algorithm to extract adaptive and quality 3D meshes directly from volumetric imaging data. The extracted tetrahedral and hexahedral meshes are extensively used in the finite element method (FEM). A top-down octree subdivision coupled with a dual contouring method is used to rapidly extract adaptive 3D finite element meshes with correct topology from volumetric imaging da...

The second part of this paper presents results of stress analysis of the whole Francis turbine runner at Derbendikan power station by using the Finite Element Method (FEM). Computations were carried out with appropriate boundary and loading conditions for water pressure obtained from CFD analysis. The analysis focuses on stress distribution in the runner blades. It has been found that the maxim...

During their operation, modern aircraft engine components are subjected to increasingly demanding operating conditions, especially the high pressure turbine (HPT) blades. Such conditions cause these parts to undergo different types of time-dependent degradation, one of which is creep. A model using the finite element method (FEM) was developed, in order to be able to predict the creep behaviour...

the accuracy and efficiency of the elements proposed by finite element method (fem) considerably depend on the interpolating functions namely shape functions used to formulate the displacement field within the element. in the present study, novel functions, namely basic displacements functions (bdfs), are introduced and exploited for structural analysis of nanobeams using finite element method ...

We present a new Control Volume Finite Element Method (CVFEM) for the drift-diffusion equations. The method combines a conservative formulation of the current continuity equations with a novel definition of an exponentially fitted elemental current density. An edge element representation of the nodal CVFEM current density in the diffusive limit motivates this definition. We prove that in the ab...
