This work describes the implementation of the Extended Finite Element Method (a partition of unity finite element method) for the study of fatigue failure of adhesive bonded joints when subjected to variable loading. The ...

The present project has the objective to model and simulate a special linear motor known as a Berdut linear motor. The motor’s governing equations are derived from Maxwell's equation and Newton's law of motion. These ...

Throughout this work, bird-strike events are studied using three approaches in LSDYNA: Lagrangian, Arbitrary Lagrange Eulerian (ALE), and Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). A simple one-dimensional beam centered impact ...

This work focuses in the analysis of mixed-mode crack propagation and fatigue of two dimensional rotating blades using the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM). A horizontal plate model simulates a UH-60 helicopter rotor ...

Through this work we predicted the unexpected failures of lake-ice under the effect of moving loads at critical velocity using finite element analysis. The main motivation was to solve the unexpected failure of the lake-ice ...

The purpose of this research is to verify that the translational movement of a microbubble in a complex three-dimensional geometry subjected to a standing acoustic field, can be predicted with the acoustic pressure gradient ...
