According to Rahman, Tamin, and Kurdi [5], highest stress point can be identified for components by performing the stress analysis, which is essential for the fatigue life prediction of components. In this research finite element analysis of the grain trailer body is performed. In the static structural analysis performed on the trailer, the static forces created by the trailers body and the cargo are applied on the chassis. The development of the analysis software and its integration into computational
produced by the induced voltage differences between parallel strands in a bar that cause high ohmic losses in high power synchronous generators. In this paper, three different cases are assumed for the armature end winding structure, and a 3-D finite element model is adopted to calculate the effectiveness and resultant losses of these cases. As mentioned later, by the use of an appropriate transposition in slot area, both main and leakage fluxes inside the machine are the same for all transposed strands

bioheat transfer equations makes it difficult to obtain their analytic solutions, numerical methods have been used. The common objective of the studies is to investigate the effects of thermal parameters on temperature distribution in biological tissue and be used as standards to verify the corresponding results of numerical simulation. Up to this date, finite difference, finite element and boundary element methods are used in the numerical studies which investigates temperature distribution in biological
Undoubtedly the most important topics in this research are structural analysis, finite element methods and the basic review on Abaqus software due to the fact that this software is used as a research tool for examining the behaviour of structures. Therefore, it is essential to know about these topics and the relationships between them. An effort is made to review the important structural analysis and finite element method approaches, reports and fundamentals guiding the structural analysis of the CNC
Break Modelling (CADAM) project (Morris,1998), has been set in motion by the European Union to investigate current methods and use in simulating and predicting the effects of dam failures. The obtained results show that shallow water scheme is reasonably suitable for the representation of free surface sharp transient (Wang et al., 2000) and the authors concluded that shallow water methods agree satisfactorily with experimental results (Alcrudo, 1998). Earlier studies were primarily based on analytical
USING FINITE ELEMENT THEORY Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 UKM Bangi Selangor, Malaysia. ABSTRACT The finite element method is capable of simulating the observed rutting of pavements subjected to axle load. Finite element modeling of pavements can be used directly to estimate primary response parameters without resorting to potentially costly field experiments. The objective of this study is to develop a finite element
1. INTRODUCTION Many innovations in aerospace and transportation industries depend on high-performance structural materials. Metal-matrix composites (MMCs) have received considerable attention due to their superior physical, mechanical and thermomechanical properties as compared to those of most conventional materials. MMCs offer a high specific strength, stiffness and wear resistance, that is much higher than that of monolithic materials. They are also capable to survive higher temperature environments
Present research focuses on finite element based fatigue life prediction of lower suspension arm subjected to non-uniform varying loads. Primary objectives of this research work are to predict fatigue life of the lower suspension arm using Strain-life approach and to discover suitable materials for the suspension arm. The CAD model of lower suspension arm is developed using CAD tool - ProE (Wildfire4.0); later it is transferred to Ansys 12.1, where finite element analysis for fatigue life analysis
Review Context Freeform surfaces prevail in contemporary architecture. Over the past two decades there has been a surge in the use of smooth, curved surfaces, which can be attributed to improvements in 3D modelling techniques and advances in finite element analysis. The complex geometries, examples of which can be seen in the Figure ? below, pose challenges in developing a feasible building envelope using conventional building materials such as steel and concrete. This has therefore created a need
