We used the 50% bead-cell surface contact area and an established finite element model to convert stiffness (Pa/nm) to modulus (Pa) [58] and determined that 1 Pa/nm stiffness is equivalent to 2.5 kPa modulus.
Predicting the vibro-acoustic behaviour of a structure is usually done by using the well established finite element (FE) method and boundary element method.
The established finite element model is shown in Fig. 4.
Modal, harmonic and transient analysis were conducted using a finite element model established in a commercial FEM software.
The postbuckling response is established using a finite element model of a tube assigned an initial axisymmetric imperfection with the calculated wavelength.
Under the constraints of XMAC logging interpretation and mechanical experiments, the spatial distribution of mechanical parameters is obtained by seismic inversion, and 3D heterogeneous geomechanical models are established using a finite element method (FEM).
The effects of material constitutive behavior, tooling design, and friction conditions on metal flow, stress fields, and the tendency for tensile fracture during equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) were established using a finite element modeling (FEM) technique.
The governing equations are established using a double directors finite element shell model which induces a high-order distribution of the displacement field and takes into account the effect of transverse shear deformations.
The sensor is modelled and simulated using a 2D Finite Element Method (FEM) in order to establish the devices sensitivity, resolution and signal-to-noise-ratio.
In this study, the ANSYS software is first used to establish a finite element model of a trough solar collector for modal analysis.
