Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Reduced Finite Element Model for Analyzing the Transverse Shear Stiffness of Truss-Like Core Sandwich BeamSuphattharachai Chomphan, Manit LeekitwattanaProblem statement: In structural analysis using finite element software, a number of finite element equations affect the speed of calculation time. A reduced finite element model should be used for analyzing structural responses to reduce the calculation time. Approach: This study presents the analysis of transverse shear stiffness of truss-like core sandwich beam using the reduced finite element model based … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 4 Aug 2011 · 6,589 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeat-Modeling of Microwave Assisted Epoxidation of Palm Acid OilN. Saifuddin, L. Wei Zhan, K. Xin NingProblem statement: While microwave chemistry could well be the most convenient, rapid and energy-saving way to initiate a chemical reaction, the issues of thermal versus microwave specific effect remain unaddressed. Approach: A three-dimensional Finite Element Model (FEM) was developed to predict temperature profile during the enzymatic epoxidation of palm acid oil using microwave heating. Three-dimensional partial differential equations are formulated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Cycle Duration and Phasing on Thermomechanical Fatigue of Dog-Bone Specimens Made form SteelAchegaf Zineb, Khamlichi Abdellatif, Francisco Mata CabreraProblem statement: Lifetime of standard dog-bone specimens made form steel as affected by phasing between thermal cycles and strains cycles and by cycle duration in thermomechanical fatigue is assessed under various conditions of loading. Approach: The methodology used was based on finite element post-processing analysis by specialized fatigue software package that takes into account coupling of damage from three primary … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2010 · 7,697 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Connection Simulation Using Dynamic Nodal Numbering AlgorithmAlongkorn Lamom, Thaksin Thepchatri, Wanchai RivepiboonProblem statement: The traditional dynamic nodal numbering algorithm was proposed for generating code number to support truss and frame simulation using only one element type, frame element; it facilitates the software development process. The traditional algorithm, however, supports simulation of only two types of connection: Hinged connection and rigid connection. In many cases, the problems consist of mix-connection and hybrid … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,199 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Two Interacting Localized Defects on the Critical Load for Thin Cylindrical Shells Under Axial CompressionAbdellatif Khamlichi, Jalal El Bahaoui, Larbi El Bakkali et al.Problem statement: Many modern structures are made from thin shells. Design of these elements depends to a large extent on their buckling behavior which is hugely affected by the initial geometric imperfections. Approach: For axially compressed isotropic circular cylindrical shells, axisymmetric localized geometric imperfections were found to reduce severely the buckling strength. Among various axisymmetric shapes of localized defects that … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,065 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeuristic Algorithm in Optimal Discrete Structural DesignsAlongkorn Lamom, Thaksin Thepchatri, Wanchai RivepiboonThis study proposes a Heuristic Algorithm for Material Size Selection (HAMSS). It is developed to handle discrete structural optimization problems. The proposed algorithm (HAMSS), Simulated Annealing Algorithm (SA) and the conventional design algorithm obtained from a structural steel design software are studied with three selected examples. The HAMSS, in fact, is the adaptation from the traditional SA. Although the SA … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,345 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Tumor Existence in the Virtual Soft Tissue by Using Tactile Tumor DetectorSayyed Mohsen Hosseini, Siamak Najarian, Samira Motaghinasab et al.We proposed a method to investigate the effects of the tumor existence that appear on the surface of the tissue. Finite element analysis provided properties such as the shape, depth, and location of the tumor which are important parameters for physicians to distinguish the correct condition of the patients. Several different cases were created and solved by the ANSYS software … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMagnetic and Thermal Analysis of Current Transformer in Normal and Abnormal ConditionsM. B.B. Sharifian, M. Farrokhifar, R. Esmaeilzadeh et al.Calculation of Current Transformers (CTs) magnetic and thermal properties are very complex due to the complexity of their construction, different properties of their materials and non-linearity of core B-H curve. Finite Element Methods (FEMs) are very capable and reliable methods for these problems solution, such as Ansys software. In this study Ansys software is applied in analysis of an 800-400/5-5 … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,037 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigations on the Grasping Contact Analysis of Biological Tissues With Applications in Minimally Invasive SurgeryAli Bonakdar, Javad Dargahi, Rama BhatAnalytical and finite element methods are employed to determine the contact pressure on the surface of a tissue being grasped by an endoscopic grasper, in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). Normally, an endoscopic grasper is corrugated (teeth-like) in order to grasp slippery tissues. It is highly important to avoid damage to the tissues while grasping and manipulation during endoscopic surgery. Therefore, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,905 accessesView PDFCite
