In this paper, we first review the impact of the powerful finite element method (FEM) in structural engineering, and then address the shortcomings of FEM as a tool for riskbased decision making and incomplete-data-based failure analysis. To illustrate the main shortcoming of FEM, i.e., the computational results are point estimates based on “deterministic” models with equations containing mean v...

the main objective of this article is evaluation of the simplified models which have been developed for analysis and design of liquid storage tanks. the empirical formulas of these models for predicting maximum sloshing wave height (mswh) are obtained from mass spring models (msm). a finite element modeling (fem) tool is used for investigating the behavior the some selected liquid storage tanks...

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to give my most sincere thanks to my advisor Professor Punam K. and Ryan Amelon for their help on my research.

A new method of migration using the finite element method (FEM) and the finite difference method (FDM) is jointly used in the spatial domain. It has been applied to solve a time relay 2D wave equation. By using the semi-discretization technique of FEM in the spatial domain, the origin problem can be written as a coupled system of lower dimensions partial differential equations (PDEs) that conti...

Transition metal fluorides (such as FeF3 or CoF2) promise significantly higher theoretical capacities (>571 mAh g(-1)) than the cathode materials currently used in Li-ion batteries. However, their practical application faces major challenges that include poor electrochemical reversibility induced by the repeated bond-breaking and formation and the accompanied volume changes and the difficulty o...

The paper proposed the practical metal cutting process using FEM to simulate the traditional cutting process, the simulation and the analysis of the results are based on the support of DEFORM3D finite element software, and the characteristic between Galerkin Algorithm and FEM analysis is also analyzed. Then the paper processed the modeling procedure for FEM using Lagrange and Euler algorithm, t...

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...
