The fatigue crack opening behavior is analyzed using finite element method. Because extremely fine mesh subdivision is required when using constant stress constant strain triangular element, this study uses conventional two dimensional eight node isoparametric elements. Since plasitc zone size is similar to crack propagating length per each load cycle because of relatively large element size, a new analysis model that a crack propagates every two load cycle is suggested. the opening load and crack opening displacement can be obtained accurately by this method.

Is this study it is proposed a method which is able to compute preciously using time-difference method to the air-gap magnetic field in electric machines take into account of eddy current induced. The air-gap magnetic field has slot harmonics which are due to the structure of machines and the shape of slot harmonics varies with the related positions of slots when the rotor moves. Accordingly, considering the influence of slot-harmonics, we coupled macro-air-gap element with first-order triangular elements in domain and used direct-convergence method for magnetic saturation.

The planar anisotropic FEM analysis for predicting the earing profiles and draw-in amounts in the deep-drawing processes is introduced. An implicit, incremental, updated Lagrangian formulation with a rigid-viscoplastic constitutive equation is employed. Contact and friction are considered through the mesh-based unit vectors and the normal contact pressure. the consistent full set of governing relations, comprising equilibrium and geometric constraint equations, is appropriately linearized. Barlat's strain-rate potential is employed, whose in-plane anisotropic properties are taken into account with anisotropic coefficients and potential parameter. The linear triangular membrane elements are used for depicting the formed sheet. with the numerical simulations of deep drawing processes of flat-top cylindrical cup for the 2090-T3 aluminum effects on the earing behavior are examined. Earing predictions made for the 2090-T3 aluminum alloy sheet show good agreement with experiments, although some discrepancies were observed in the directional trend of cup height and thickness strains.

The three-dimensional boundary value problem for the unsteady motion of a ship which is translating and oscillating on the free surface of a deep water formulated. Under the assumption that the forward speed is small and order of $\varepsilon$, all formulations are made up to the first order of $\varepsilon$. For the numerical calculation, the three-dimensional source distribution method is applied, and the triangular elements are used to represent the hull surface. The results for the added mass and the damping coefficient for Series 60, $C_B=0.7$ at Fn=0 and Fn=0.2 shows good agreements with those of Inglis, Chang, and Inglis and Price.

In a finite element analysis of the metal forming processes having large plastic deformation, largely distorted elements are unstable and hence they influence upon the result toward negative way so that adaptive remeshing is required to avoid a failure in the numerical computation. Therefore automatic mesh generation and regeneration is very important to avoid a numerical failure in a finite element analysis. In case of generating quadrilateral mesh, the automation is more difficult than that of triangular mesh because of its geometric complexity. However its demand is very high due to the precision of analysis. Thus, in this study, an automatic quadrilateral mesh generation and regeneration method using grid-based approach is developed. The developed method contains decision of grid size to generate initial mesh inside a two dimensional domain, classification of boundary angles and inner boundary nodes to improve element qualities in case of concave domains, and boundary projection to construct the final mesh.

The available analytical methods of analysis for laterally loaded piles in level ground cannot be directly applied to such piles in sloping ground. With the commercially available software, the simulation of the appropriate field condition is a challenging task, and the results are subjective. Therefore, it becomes essential to understand the process of development of a user-framed numerical formulation, which may be used easily as per the specific site conditions without depending on other indirect methods of analysis as well as on the software. In the present study, a detailed three-dimensional finite element formulation is presented for the analysis of laterally loaded piles in sloping ground developing the 18 node triangular prism elements. An application of the numerical formulation has been illustrated for the pile located at the crest of the slope and for the pile located at some edge distance from the crest. The specific examples show that at any given depth, the displacement and bending moment increase with an increase in slope of the ground, whereas they decrease with increasing edge distance.

This paper presents a more efficient evaluation of alternatives by use of multi-criteria decision making methodlogy under fuzzy intersectional dependence relations. The performance evaluation of most systems such as weapons, enterprise systems etc. are multiple criteria decision making problems. The descriptions and judgements on these systems are usually linguistic and fuzzy. The traditional methods of Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) are mainly used in crisp(non-fuzzy) decision applications with a very unbalanced scale of judgements and rank reversal. To overcome these problems, we will propose a new, general decision making method for evaluation models using fuzzy AHP(FAHP) under fuzzy intersectional dependence relations. The T.M.S alternatives A, B and C will be evaluted by the Fuzzy Analytic Hierachy Process (FAHP) based on entropy weight in this study. We will use symmetric triangular fuzzy numbers to indicate the relative strength of the elements in the hierachy and degree of intersection between criteria. These problems are evaluated by five criteria : tactical criteria, technology criteria, maintenance criteria, economy criteria, advacement criteria.

This research develops a finite element code for the transient dynamic analysis of tapered fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) poles with hollow circular cross-section and flexible joints used in power transmission lines. The FRP poles are modeled by tapered beam elements and their flexible joints by a rotational spring. To solve the time equations of transient dynamic analysis, precise time integration method is utilized. In order to verify the utilized formulations, a typical jointed FRP pole under step, triangular and sine pulses is analyzed by the developed finite element code and also ANSYS commercial finite element software for comparison. Thereafter, the effect of joint flexibility on its dynamic behavior is investigated. It is observed that by increasing the joint stiffness, the amplitude of the pole tip deflection history decreases, and the time of occurrence of the maximum deflection is earlier.

In this paper, the indirect BIEM(boundary integral equation method) is adopted to analyze 3-D eddy currents in cover plate of power transformer. In indirect BIEM, the equivalent magnetic surface charge density and the eqivalent magnanetic surface current density are the unknowns. Using triangular constant elements, the integral equations are discretized into boundary element equations of minimum order. Eddy currents are obtained in terms of euqivalent magnetic surface sources. And the locad overheating can be predicted using the eddy currents distribution in cover plate of power transformer.

This article concerns a ring property which preserves the reversibility of elements at nonzero idempotents. A ring R shall be said to be quasi-reversible if $0{\neq}ab{\in}I(R)$ for a, $b{\in}R$ implies $ba{\in}I(R)$, where I(R) is the set of all idempotents in R. We investigate the quasi-reversibility of 2 by 2 full and upper triangular matrix rings over various kinds of reversible rings, concluding that the quasi-reversibility is a proper generalization of the reversibility. It is shown that the quasi-reversibility does not pass to polynomial rings. The structure of Abelian rings is also observed in relation with reversibility and quasi-reversibility.
