3D FEM modeling based on 3D CAD data has been performed to evaluate the efficiency of CP system in a real operating nuclear power plant. The results of it successfully produced sophisticated profiles of electrolytic potential and current distributions in the soil of an interested area. This technology is expected to be a breakthrough for detection technology of damages on buried pipes when it comes into combining with a brand of area potential earth current (APEC) and ground penetrated radar (GPR) technologies. 2D current distribution and 2D current vectors on the earth surface from the APEC survey will be used as boundary conditions with exact 3D geometry data resulting in visualization of locations and extents of corrosion damages on the buried pipes in nuclear power plants.

This paper presents characteristic analysis of claw-pole type generator. The analysis is performed using 2D equivalent model by 2D FEM. 3D FEM is used to check whether 2D equivalent model reflects the magnetic characteristics of the actual machine. Initially, 2D equivalent model of the claw-pole type generator is designed only by 3D geometry. Using 2D equivalent model, back emf characteristics are estimated and compared to measurements. The analysis results agree with measurements well and take less time comparing to 3D FEM.

This paper presents three boundary techniques which are useful for FEM analysis of composite laminates: 1) a rotational symmetric boundary technique . 2) a quasi three-dimensional boundary technique and 3) a contact boundary technique. The use of the rotational symmetric boundary technique is possible for a smaller FEM model. With the use of the quasi three-dimensional boundary tecnique. quasi three dimensional analysis of composite laminates can be performed on the conventional 3-D FEM program These techniques can readily be adopted to FEM programs.

This paper analyzed the characteristics of the claw pole PM stewing motor by using 3D FEM. As the magnetization occurs along the z-axis of the motor, it is necessary to apply 3D FEM for analysis of the claw pole PM stewing motor. Considering the computation time, reducing the number of the analysis model is effective method of the methods of the reducing analysis time. By using the "Design Of Experiments(DOE)", efficient analysis was able to be done. To see the effects of the design factors, the 3D FEM is applied only to the selected models. As the design factors, the teeth selected models, the number of turns and the permanent magnet overhang was selected.

This paper deals with 3 Dimensional(3D) analysis of magnetic flux density of High Temperature Superconducting(HTS) motor using 3D Equivalent Magnetic Circuit Network (EMCN). When the Finite Element Method (FEM) is applied to an analysis of 3D models, it takes much time to the pre-process work required for 3D modeling and to solve the differential equation. Compare with 3D FEM, the result of 3D EMCN by using the magnetic resistance and magnetomotive force is exact and rapid. The accuracy of 3D EMCN is verified by comparing the 3D EMCN analysis with that of 3D FEM in HTS motor.

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) has some advantages such as low cost, high torque density etc. However SRM has inevitably high torque ripple due to the double salient structure. To apply SRM to industrial field, we have to minimize torque ripple, which is the weak-Point of SRM. This paper presents optimal design process of SRM using numerical method such as 2D finite element method (FEM) and 3D equivalent magnetic circuit network method (EMCNM). The electrical and geometrical design parameters have been adopted as 2D design variables. The overhang structure of rotor has been also adopted as 3D design variable. From this work, we can obtain the optimal design, which minimize the torque ripple and maximize energy conversion loop.

Disk type single phase switched reluctance motor which is a simple robust construction, simple control circuit and low manufacturing cost, has a characteristics of axial and radial flux machines. However, because this DSPSRM has a complicated magnetic circuit, it is difficult to analyze the design characteristics.. In this study, the calculation of design parameter based on the conventional design theory of electric machine and the characteristics analysis by computer simulation was performed. As the DSPSRM has the characteristics of both AFM and RFM, it is difficult to analyze its characteristics by the 2D FEM. 3D FEM was applied in the analysis of energy distribution and approximated calculation of torque characteristics with rotor positions. With analysis results, prototype of DSPSRM is manufactured.

AB100 & CB100 are general products in the steel beam of the section shape. They are applied for construction, welding and shipbuilding structures. But currently roll damages are generated in the intermediate & finish mills during producing AB 100, CB100. The goal of this project is to conduct rolling & roll stress analysis using the 3D FEM program and to research the things which roll diameter affects roll stress. By the analysis results, it is determined that the recording roll stress where the roll diameter will be big comes to be small, and it is recognized that roll damage occurrences of finish rolling mills can be high by roll stress analysis results.

Wrist braces are being used for patients with wrist trauma. Recently, many studies have been conducted to manufacture custom wrist braces using 3D printing technology. Such 3D printing customized orthosis has the advantage of reflecting various factors such as reflecting different shapes for each individual and securing breathability. In this paper, the stress on the orthosis by the number and position of Velcro bands that should be considered when manufacturing a 3D printing custom wrist brace was analyzed. For customized orthosis, 3D modeling of the bone and skin regions was performed using an automatic design software (Reconeasy 3D, Seeann Solution) based on CT images. Based on the 3D skin area, a wrist orthosis design was applied to suit each treatment purpose. And, for the elasticity of the brace, a wrist brace was manufactured with an FDM-type 3D printer using TPU material. To evaluate the effectiveness according to the number and position of the Velcro band of the custom 3D printed wrist brace, the stress distribution of the brace was analyzed by the finite element method (FEM). Through the finite element analysis of the wrist orthosis performed in this study, the stress distribution of the orthosis was confirmed, and the number and position of the orthosis production and Velcro bands could be confirmed. These experimental results will help provide quality treatment to patients.
