Abstract This document analyses the distribution of the electric potential due to two electrodes that excite a membrane. The solution obtained numerically was approximated by means of the finite element method. The qualitative analysis of the results allows to know the intensity of the electric potential along the membrane in such a way that said electrodes that excite the membrane can be strategically located for academic and clinical purposes. Additionally, in a two- dimensional domain that represents the geometry of a membrane, the finite element method was executed, which allowed the behavior of the potential to be analyzed for an electric pulse at any point in the membrane. The above was generated by two electrodes.

The finite-element method (1) (2)∗ is increasingly used in the stress analysis of mechanical-engineering problems. It is the purpose of this paper to described how the finite-element method can be used as an effective tool in the design of rotors. Up to the present time this method has mainly been used in the analysis of two-dimensional problems. However, a special class of three-dimensional problems, namely axi-symmetric rotors, can be treated as a nearly two-dimensional problem. This paper summarizes the development of the finite-element method as applied to the analysis of the axi-symmetric rotor. A computer programme is then briefly described, and the application of the method to the solution of three examples taken from practical engineering experience are presented.

The finite element method (FEM) with a special graded mesh is constructed for the Dirichlet boundary value problem with degeneration of the solution on the entire boundary of the two-dimensional domain. A comparative numerical analysis is performed for the proposed method and the classical finite element method for a set of model problems in symmetric domain. Experimental confirmation of theoretical estimates of accuracy is obtained and conclusions are made.

Abstract The paper describes the intention of the authors to determine whether it is possible to predict relative belt edge endurance for radial passenger car tires using the finite element method. Three groups of tires with different belt edge configurations were tested on a fleet test in an attempt to validate predictions from the finite element results. A two-dimensional, axisymmetric finite element analysis was first used to determine if the results from such an analysis, with emphasis on the shear deformations between the belts, could be used to predict a relative ranking for belt edge endurance. It is shown that such an analysis can lead to erroneous conclusions. A three-dimensional analysis in which tires are modeled under free rotation and static vertical loading was performed next. This approach resulted in an improvement in the quality of the correlations. The differences in the predicted values of various stress analysis parameters for the three belt edge configurations are studied and their implication on predicting belt edge endurance is discussed.

Abstract The finite element method has been used widely in tire engineering. Most tire simulations using the finite element method are static analyses, because tires are very complex nonlinear structures. Recently, transient phenomena have been studied with explicit finite element analysis codes. In this paper, the authors demonstrate the feasibility of tire cornering simulation using an explicit finite element code, PAM-SHOCK. First, we propose the cornering simulation using the explicit finite element analysis code. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed simulation, computed cornering forces for a 175SR14 tire are compared with experimental results from an MTS Flat-Trac Tire Test System. The computed cornering forces agree well with experimental results. After that, parametric studies are conducted by using the proposed simulation.

The natural frequencies of circular saws limit the operating speeds of the saws. Current industry methods of increasing natural frequency include pretensioning, where plastic deformation is induced into the saw. To better model the saw, the finite element model is compared to current software for steel saws; C-SAW, a software program that calculates frequencies for stiffened circular saws. Using C-SAW and the finite element method the results are compared and the finite element method is validated for steel saws.
