An induction motor operated with high voltage source generally generates high current in starting mode and has a long transient time after being started. This large and sustaining starting current causes the end windings of the stator to have excessive electromagnetic force. This force is the source of vibration and has a negative and serious influence on the insulation of end windings. Therefore, designing the end winding part with an appropriate support system is needed. To design the support ring enclosing the end windings, we analyze the distribution of electromagnetic force on the end windings by applying the Biot-Savart's law and the 3D finite element method (FEM), and comparing two simulation methods. Finally, we verify the safety of the support structure of the end winding part using stress analysis, which is analyzed with the electromagnetic forces from the 3D FEM simulation.

An unconstrained tuning fork with a 3-D model has been numerically analyzed by Finite Element Method (FEM) and Boundary Element Method (BEM). The first three natural frequencies were calculated by the FEM modal analysis. Then the change of the modal frequencies was examined with the variation of the tuning fork length and width. (omitted)

In this paper, the construction of secondary reaction plate is analyzed by 3-D Finite Element Method(3-D FEM) to consider the influence of its variation on the transverse edge effect of LIM. The effective 3-D analysis model for considering the transverse edge effect caused by the finite widths of the primary and the secondary is proposed. The simple method measuring the transverse edge effect by using the patterns of currents induced in the secondary reaction plate is also proposed. With this effective analysis method, various models of secondary reaction plate with overhang and cap has been analyzed to consider the relationship between the construction of secondary reaction plate and the transverse edge effect of LIM.

Predicting the mechanical properties of the 3-D scaffold using finite element method (FEM) simulation is important to the practical application of tissue engineering. However, the porous structure of the scaffold complicates computer simulations, and calculating scaffold models at the pore level is time-consuming. In some cases, the demands of the procedure are too high for a computer to run the standard code. To address this problem, the representative volume element (RVE) theory was introduced, but studies on RVE modeling applied to the 3-D scaffold model have not been focused. In this paper, we propose an improved FEM-based RVE modeling strategy to better predict the mechanical properties of the scaffold prior to fabrication. To improve the precision of RVE modeling, we evaluated various RVE models of newly designed 3-D scaffolds using FEM simulation. The scaffolds were then constructed using microstereolithography technology, and their mechanical properties were measured for comparison.

도파관(waveguide)은 전자기파를 원하는 방향으로 안내하는 전송선로로 의료기기, 레이더 시스템, 위성 통신 등 다양한 분야에 활용되고 있다. 이러한 도파관의 설계 및 최적화를 위해서는 전자기 수치해석(CEM: Computational Electromagnetics)이 필수적이다. 수치해석 기법의 하나인 유한요소법(FEM: Finite Element Method)은 도파관과 같은 닫힌 영역 내부의 전자기 문제를 해결하는데 효율적이며 이를 적용하기 위해서는 계산영역을 한정시키기 위한 경계조건이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 계산영역 밖으로 나가는 전자파의 반사를 최소화하기 위한 흡수경계조건(ABC: Absorbing Boundary Condition)과 주 모드 뿐만 아니라 고차 모드까지 흡수할 수 있는 도파관 포트 경계조건(WPBC: Waveguide Port Boundary Condition)을 각각 적용하여 2/D 및 3/D 도파관 구조에 대한 전자기 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 이후, 대표적인 전자파 상용 소프트웨어인 HFSS와의 결과 비교를 통해 해석의 정확성을 검증하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 WPBC를 적용하면 ABC보다 더 작은 해석 영역으로 구조 해석이 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다.

Finite element method (FEM) has been widely used as a useful numerical method that can analyze complex engineering problems in electro-magnetics, mechanics, and others. CEMTool, which is similar to MATLAR, is a command style design and analyzing package for scientific and technological algorithm and a matrix based computation language. In this paper, we present new 3D FEM package in CEMTool environment. In contrast to the existing CEMTool 2D FEM package and MATLAB PDE (Partial Differential Equation) Toolbox, our proposed 3D FEM package can deal with complex 3D models, not a cross-section of 3D models. Consequently, with our new 3D FEM toolbox, we can analyze more diverse engineering Problems which the existing CEMTool 2D FEM package or MATLAB PDE Toolbox can not solve.

This paper presents characteristics analysis of skewed Synchronous Reluctance Motor using equivalent magnetic circuit and compares with the result of Finite Element Method. Torque ripple must be reduced, because it is producing noise and vibration. There is many kinds of method to reduce torque ripple, but generally we apply skewing stator or rotor. The 2D Finite Element Method(FEM) or 3D FEM is used to analyze the motor, since skew influence the average torque in the motor. However, the FEM takes much time in spite of the advanced computer and numerical technique. This paper will analyze characteristics of skewed synchronous reluctance motor using equivalent magnetic circuit.

The primary strength of the enriched finite element method (enriched FEM) is its ability to enhance solution accuracy without mesh refinement. It also allows for the selective determination of cover function degrees based on desired accuracy. Furthermore, there is an adaptive enrichment strategy that applies enriched elements to targeted areas where accuracy may be lacking rather than across the entire domain, demonstrating its powerful use in engineering applications. However, its application to solid and structural problems encounters a linear dependence (LD) issue induced by using polynomial functions as cover functions. Recently, enriched finite elements that address the LD problem in linear analysis have been developed. In light of these advancements, this study is devoted to a robust extension of the enriched FEM to nonlinear analysis. We propose a nonlinear formulation of the enriched FEM, employing 3-node and 4-node 2D solid elements for demonstration. The formulation employs a total Lagrangian approach, allowing for large displacements and rotations. Numerical examples demonstrate that the enriched elements effectively improve solution accuracy and ensure stable convergence in nonlinear analysis. We also present results from adaptive enrichment to highlight its effectiveness.
