condition monitoring of bldc motors due to their important applications is gaining more and more significance. rotor eccentricity is one of the most important sources of faults in these motors. up to now, detection methods of this fault under nonstationary conditions are limited to complicated and time-consuming methods using wavelets and cohen class algorithms which are difficult to implement ...

several appliances have been used for palatal expansion for treatment of posterior cross bite. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress induced in the apical and crestal alveolar bone and the pattern of tooth displacement following expansion via removable expansion plates or fixed-banded palatal expander using the finite element method (fem) analysis.two 3d fem models were designed ...

starting from two-dimensional (2d) equations of motion, discretized formulations for transient behavior of soil-structure interaction problems have been derived. two different dynamic infinite elements taking into account single and two-wave types are presented in transformed space. by coupling the infinite elements with standard finite elements, an ordinary finite element procedure is used for...

a non-linear finite element model could be a useful tool in the development of a method of predicting soil pressure-sinkage behaviour, and can be used to investigate and analyze soil compaction. this study was undertaken to emphasize that the finite element method (fem) is a proper technique to model soil pressure-sinkage behaviour. for this purpose, the finite element method was used to model ...

in this article, we study the new streamline diffusion finite element for treating the linear second order hyperbolic initial-boundary value problem. we prove a posteriori $ l^2(l^2)$ and error estimates for this method under minimal regularity hypothesis. test problem of an application of the wave equation in the laser is presented to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the method.

in this paper, based on the slab method of analysis, a novel and general approach isdeveloped for studying the radial forging process with curved profile dies. the presented approachis not only more general with respect to previous studies, but it is also easier to understand and useand can be efficiently used for optimization of the die profile depending on the forging geometryand conditions. ...

it is well-known that dam-reservoir interaction has significant effects on the response of dams to the earthquakes. this phenomenon should be considered more exactly in the seismic design of dams with a rational and reliable dynamic analysis method. in this research, seismic analysis of the dam-reservoir is studied as a wave propagation problem by using legendre spectral element method (sem). t...
