Abstract. We describe our investigation of a fast 3D finite element method (FEM) for biomedical simulation of a muscle-activated human tongue. Our method uses a linear stiffness-warping scheme to achieve simulation speeds which are within a factor 10 of real-time rates at the expense of a small loss in accuracy. Muscle activations are produced by an arrangement of forces acting along selected e...

The magnetic flux leakage (MFL) method is currently the most commonly used pipeline inspection technique. In this paper, numerical simulation and experimental investigation on defect inspection in pipeline steel using MFL were carried out. In theoretical analysis, typical three-dimensional (3D) defects were accurately modeled and detailed MFL signals in the test surface were calculated by 3D fi...

Today, electron leakage in InP-based separate confinement laser diode has a serious effect on device performance. Control of electron leakage current is the aim of many studies in semiconductor laser industry. In this study, for the first time, a new asymmetric waveguide structure with n-interlayer for a 1.325 μm InP-based laser diode with InGaAsP multi-quantum well is proposed and theoreticall...

This paper advocates a method for real-time physical deformation and arbitrary cutting simulation of heterogeneous objects with multi-material distribution, whose originality centers on the tight coupling of domain-specific finite element method (FEM) 1 and material-distance-aware meshless approach in a CUDA-centric parallel simulation framework. We employ hierarchical hexahedron serving as bas...

In this article, the efforts for integrating alternative FEM codes into a complex simulation application from the area of engineering optimisation are described. The application area, its participating software components, and their interactions are presented. The integration of two different FEM codes is demonstrated based on a dedicated FEM data conversion component. Performance results are s...
