Temperatures of engine head and liner depend on many factors such as spray and combustion process, coolant passage flow and engine related structures. To estimate the temperature distribution of engine structure, multi-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes have been mainly adopted. In this case, it is of great importance to obtain the realistic wall temperature distribution of entire engine structure. In the present work, a CFD-FEM coupling methodology was presented to address this demand. This approach was applied to a real large-size marine diesel engine. CFD combustion and coolant flow simulations were coupled to FEM temperature analysis. Wall heat flux and wall temperature data were interfaced between combustion simulation and solid component temperature analysis via translator by a commercial CFD package named FIRE by AVL. Heat transfer coefficient and surface temperature data were exchanged and mapped between coolant flow simulation and FEM temperature analysis. Results indicate that there exists the optimum cell thickness near combustion chamber wall to reasonably predict the wall heat flux during combustion period. The present study also shows that the effect of cell refining on predicting in-cylinder pressure during combustion is negligible. Hence, the basic guidance on obtaining the wall heat flux needed for the reasonable CFD-FEM coupling analysis has been established. It is expected that this coupling methodology is a robust tool for practical engine design and can be applied to further assessment of the temperature distribution of other engine components.

Finite element method (FEM) is an effective quantitative method to solve complex engineering problems. The basic idea of FEM for a complex problem is to be able to find a solution by reducing the problem made simple. If mathematical tools are inadequate to obtain precise result, even approximate result, FEM is the only method that can be used for structural analyses. In FEM, the domain is divided into a large number of simple, small and interconnected sub-regions called finite elements. FEM has been used commonly for linear and nonlinear analyses of different types of structures to give us accurate results of plane stress and plane strain problems in civil engineering area. In this paper, FEM is used to investigate stress analysis of a shear wall which is subjected to concentrated loads and fundamental principles of stress analysis of the shear wall are presented by using matrix displacement method in this paper. This study is consisting of two parts. In the first part, the shear wall is discretized with constant strain triangular finite elements and stiffness matrix and load vector which is attained from external effects are calculated for each of finite elements using matrix displacement method. As to second part of the study, finite element analysis of the shear wall is made by ANSYS software program. Results obtained in the second part are presented with tables and graphics, also results of each part is compared with each other, so the performance of the matrix displacement method is demonstrated. The solutions obtained by using the proposed method show excellent agreements with the results of ANSYS. The results show that this method is effective and preferable for the stress analysis of shell structures. Further studies should be carried out to be able to prove the efficiency of the matrix displacement method on the solution of plane stress problems using different types of structures.

This paper presents a shape optimization algorithm of electromagnetic devices using the design sensitivity analysis with FEM. The design sensitivity and adjoint variable formulas are derived for the 3D FEM with edge element. This algorithm is applied to 3D electro-magnet pole shape optimization problem to make a uniform flux density at the target region.

This paper deals with the analysis of bearing current in H-bridge seven level multilevel inverter fed induction motor. In the previous researches utilized electromagnetic equations to derive the parasitic capacitance or measured capacitance parameters, but we used FEM to derive parasitic capacitances and defined the equivalent circuit parameters in our strategy. Then we compared suggested method with conventional method in 60 [Hz] no load condition.

It is necessary for development of drawing product with press to have suitable material selection & all process design and the problem during press process has been cleared from judgement of experience & trial and error. Recently we can estimate press process result from computer aided design & FEM. But we can get more reliable result when we can put more precise process variants during FEM. In case of using a drawbead that is used for the material inflow, it is considered for us to put material property, other analysis condition & friction figure when material is passing through the drawbead for better FEM. From our study, we have drawn an analogy bead connection depth, friction figure & drawing and restraining load according to kinds of lubrication from experiment & FEM for the drawbead. We applied above result to the drawing experiment & FEM and confirmed the validity. We could notice the relation between friction figure & drawing load and the friction figure variation according to kinds of lubrication. It is expected to draw more precise analogy that can be used for real process due to more precise process variants application to FEM.

Finite element equations by using fast Fourier transformation were formulated for studying temperatures resulting from frictional heating in sliding systems. The equations include the effect of velocity of moving components. The program developed by using FFT-FEM that combines Fourier transform techniques and the finite element method, was applied to the sliding bearing system. Numerical prediction obtained by FFT-FEM was in an excellent agreement of experimental temperature measurements.
