Hysteresis motor is self-starting synchronous motor that uses the hysteresis characteristics of magnetic materials to make torque. There are different methods to model this kind of motor and take into account the magnetic hysteresis characteristic of the rotor hysteresis ring. In this investigation the application of complex permeability concept is implemented to model the hysteresis loop and t...

Finite element simulation of stretch flanging process was carried out in order to investigate the effect of process parameters on maximum thinning (%) in stretch flanging process. Influences of initial flange length, punch die clearance, width of sheet metal blank and blank holding force were investigated on maximum thinning (%). Finite element simulation was done using FEM software package ABA...

In this paper, we present resistivity-logging-measurement simulation with the use of two types of borehole logging devices: those which operate with zero frequency (direct current, DC) and those with higher frequencies (alternate current, AC). We perform simulations of 3D resistivity measurements in deviated wells, with a sharp angle between the borehole and formation layers. We introduce a hie...

A new method for adaptive tessellation of threedimensional (3-D) grids is presented. A mixed-element decomposition method is introduced for local refinement of fully unstructured grids, consisting of tetrahedra and octahedra. The method preserves the shape of the elements of the initial grid and therefore the element quality. Furthermore, local anisotropies of the initial grid are preserved. Th...
