The Magneto Caloric Effect is an intrinsic property of a magnetic solid. It is the response of this solid to the application or removal of magnetic fields [1]. When magnetic material is subjected to a magnetic field the magnetic moments are aligned and the magnetic entropy is lower. And the sample heats up when the field is removed the magnetic entropy is increased and the temperature is lowere...

Federal safety regulations require the use of validated consequence models to determine the vapor cloud dispersion exclusion zones for accidental liquefied natural gas (LNG) releases. One tool that is being developed in industry for exclusion zone determination and LNG vapor dispersion modeling is computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This paper uses the ANSYS CFX CFD code to model LNG vapor disp...

Nonlinear behaviour of RC beams is complex due to involvement of various parameters. Many attempts have been made by the past researchers to predict the behaviour using ANSYS. The accuracy and convergence of the solution depends on factors such as mesh density, constitutive properties of concrete, convergence criteria and tolerance values etc., Past researchers have used various values of the a...

The present study concerns experimental and fin ite element analysis of carbon epoxy and carbon epoxy carbon nanotube composites to estimate interlaminar shear strength. Mechanical properties such as elastic ratios, thickness are varied for double notched specimen and the corresponding deflections and interlaminar shear strengths are estimated by ANSYS. From simple ru le of mixtures, equivalent...

Magnetic levitation is a popular topic of research over the years throughout the world due to its wide range of industrial applications. In any DC attraction type suspension system, actuator and guide-way (rail) plays most important role. In this manuscript FEM based analysis of different structures of actuator and rail (guide-way) has been carried out utilizing ANSYS software. Input power to l...

The purpose of this study is to develop a numerical approach to simulate the creep cracking of a Ni-base superalloy. The approach is based in continuum damage mechanics (CDM) and uses the classic Kachanov-Rabotnov constitutive equations for creep deformation and damage evolution. Creep damage takes the form of defects such as microcracks, cavities, voids, etc. A numerical crack growth algorithm...
