Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleParameter Calibration of Soil in the Poyang Lake Region Based on Discrete Element MethodBaoyu Zhu, Jun’an Liu, Xiongfei Chen et al.In order to obtain the soil parameters of Poyang Lake Region before direct seeding, the soil properties of Duchang County, Poyang County and Xinjian District recollected and the discrete element method model is established. The angle of repose of paddy soil is 53.00° tested by the lateral wall collapse method. Eleven parameters are used to establish EDEM simulation model with … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2020 · 6,377 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsParameter Measurement and Calibration in Discrete Element Simulation of Broken Sweet Potato SeedlingsGuizhi Mu, Xieteng Qi, Wangzhi Zhang et al.Given the lack of accurate parameter values in discrete element simulation of sweet potato seedling mechanized recovery, a direct measurement and virtual calibration method was used to study the Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulation parameters of broken sweet potato stems and leaves. The intrinsic parameters, collision recovery coefficient and static friction coefficient of broken seedlings were acquired by physical experiments. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 8 Jun 2021 · 6,369 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Co-Rotational 3-Node Shell ElementGil Rama, Dragan Marinkovic, Manfred ZehnGeometric nonlinear FE-analysis of thin-walled shell structures, using a co-rotational formulation and the Cell Smoothed Discrete Shear Gap triangular shell element (CS-DSG3) is presented in this study. The CS-DSG3 element formulation uses the Mindlin-Reissner kinematic hypothesis to include transverse shear effects. In order to avoid locking effects Discrete Shear Gap (DSG) method is applied. In addition, cell based smoothing technique … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2016 · 8,295 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFINITE VOLUME METHOD OF MODELLING TRANSIENT GROUNDWATER FLOWN. Muyinda, G. Kakuba, J. M. MangoIn the field of computational fluid dynamics, the finite volume method is dominant over other numerical techniques like the finite difference and finite element methods because the underlying physical quantities are conserved at the discrete level. In the present study, the finite volume method is used to solve an isotropic transient groundwater flow model to obtain hydraulic heads and flow … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 15 Feb 2014 · 7,108 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Analysis of Frictional Contact Problem During the Process of Metal WorkingNicolae PopThe quasistatic contact problem with dry friction, contributes to the achievement of a numerical model for the simultaneity of different kinds of viscoplastic, incompressible materials forming. Starting from a variational formulation of the problem, which extends the static case, a perturbed Lagrangean, discrete formulation within the framework of finite element method is obtained. On the contact boundary we have used … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,293 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessAll words, across the recordBending Stress and Deflection Analysis of Meshing Spur Gear Tooth during the Single Tooth Contact with Finite Element Method and Determination of the Bending StiffnessAntonios D. Tsolakis, Konstantinos G. Raptis, Maria D. MargaritouPurpose of this study is the study of loading and contact problems encountered at rotating machine elements and especially at tooth gears. Tooth gears are some of the most commonly used mechanical components for rotary motion and power transmission. This fact proves the necessity for improved reliability and enhanced service life, which requires precise and clear knowledge of the stress … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2017 · 7,642 accessesView PDF Cite
