  • 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 MATLAB, 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. In the pre-processor of 3D FEM package, a new 3D mesh generating algorithm can make information on 3D Delaunay tetrahedral mesh elements for analyses of 3D FEM problems. The solver of the 3D FEM package offers three methods for solving the linear algebraic matrix equation, i.e., Gauss-Jordan elimination solver, Band solver, and Skyline solver. The post-processor visualizes the results for 3D FEM problems such as the deformed position and the stress. 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.

  • Steel bridges, which have been damaged by load and corrosion, need repair or strengthening. In general, before the repair welding procedure, cutting procedure carry out. Therefore, the investigating of the behavior of stress generated by cutting is so important for safety of structure. Residual stress produced by gas cutting was analyzed using 2D and 3D thermal elasto-plastic FEM. According to the results, the magnitude of temperature was analyzed by 2D-FEM is smaller than that was analyzed using the 3D-FEM program at the start and end edge of flange. And the magnitude and distribution of residual stress of perpendicular to the cutting line was analyzed by the 2D-FEM program was similar to that was analyzed by the 3B-FEM program. Therefore, it is possible to predict of cutting stress by 2D and 3D FEM.

  • The Stonecutters Bridge (SCB) in Hong Kong is the third-longest cable-stayed bridge in the world with a main span stretching 1,018 m between two 298 m high single-leg tapering composite towers. A Wind and Structural Health Monitoring System (WASHMS) is being implemented on SCB by the Highways Department of The Hong Kong SAR Government, and the SCB-WASHMS is composed of more than 1,300 sensors in 15 types. In order to establish a linkage between structural health monitoring and maintenance management, a Structural Health Rating System (SHRS) with relevant rating tools and indices is devised. On the basis of a 3D space frame finite element model (FEM) of SCB and model updating, this paper presents the development of an SHR-oriented 3D multi-scale FEM for the purpose of load-resistance analysis and damage evaluation in structural element level, including modeling, refinement and validation of the multi-scale FEM. The refined 3D structural segments at deck and towers are established in critical segment positions corresponding to maximum cable forces. The components in the critical segment region are modeled as a full 3D FEM and fitted into the 3D space frame FEM. The boundary conditions between beam and shell elements are performed conforming to equivalent stiffness, effective mass and compatibility of deformation. The 3D multi-scale FEM is verified by the in-situ measured dynamic characteristics and static response. A good agreement between the FEM and measurement results indicates that the 3D multi-scale FEM is precise and efficient for WASHMS and SHRS of SCB. In addition, stress distribution and concentration of the critical segments in the 3D multi-scale FEM under temperature loads, static wind loads and equivalent seismic loads are investigated. Stress concentration elements under equivalent seismic loads exist in the anchor zone in steel/concrete beam and the anchor plate edge in steel anchor box of the towers.

  • In the quasi-3D finite element(FE) anlysis, the overall characteristics of axial flux permanent magnet(AFPM) motor could be composed of each computation region. However, A drawback of quasi-3D FEM is not to consider the end effect on the stack end. To address this problem, an improved quasi-3D FE analysis which considers the end effect of the AFPM motor was proposed. From results the 3D FE analysis, the validity of the proposed method is verified.

  • Compared to 3D FEM, 2D FEM can be analyzed by simplifying the model and conditions. However, with respect to coil conditions, in many cases, direction of coils(upward, downward, entrance, exit, etc.) are sequentially configured and set up the FEM analysis conditions. This paper shows simplification of coil conditions and reduction of analysis time by applying the equivalent winding method composed of one FEM coil even if it has multiple slots, and shows consistency of results by applying it to a winding type magnetic gear.

  • In this paper, eddy current compensation method of 2D finite element method(FEM) is studied compared with 3D FEM. The result of eddy current loss of permeant magnet is different from 3D FEM result because current loop of the inside of permanent magnet can not expressed by 2D FEM. In order to reduce the error between 2D and 3D FEM, permanent magnet conductivity is compensated considering current loop of magnet shape according to length and width.

  • In this paper, composite laminate pull-through resistance was analyzed using the FEM method and compared with test results. 2D and 3D simplified FEM models, a nonlinear analysis, and a progressive failure analysis utilizing three composite laminate failure theories Maximum Stress, Maximum Strain, and Tsai-Wu were used to predict the FEM results with the test results. The load and boundary conditions of the test were applied to the FEM to simulate the test. A composite laminate pull-through test (ASTM D7332 Proc. B) was designed with a special fixture to collect more precise data. The test results were compared with the FEM analysis results.
