This paper focuses on the loss estimation for the multiphase induction machine (IM) operating under fault-tolerant conditions through the field–circuit coupling finite element method (FEM). Both one-phase and two-phase open-circuit faults of a seven-phase IM are researched, and different spatial positions of the fault phases are taken into consideration. The magnitudes and phase angles of the residual phase’s current are deduced based on the principle of equal magnitude of the residual phase currents and unchanged fundamental magnetic motive force (MMF). The magnetic fields’ coupling between the fundamental and harmonic planes is analyzed. Then, the time-stepping electromagnetic fields calculation of the seven-phase IM are carried out under the commercial software Simplorer–Maxwell environment. The transient and steady performance for both the health and fault conditions are obtained based on the rotor field-oriented control (RFOC) strategy. The Joule loss and iron loss are calculated for the torque step and slope responses. The seven-phase motor driving platform is established to verify the numerical calculation results. The proposed method is effective for predicting the loss and designing a reasonable operating range for multiphase IM operating under fault-tolerant conditions considering the thermal balance.

To investigate the influence of control and structure parameters on the starting performance of a switched reluctance motor, a 12/8 pole switched reluctance motor is analyzed in this paper. The novel field-circuit coupled finite element method of switched reluctance motor is proposed in the paper. The influence of the controller on the switched reluctance motor is considered. The influence of rotor initial position angle, starting mode, starting current, and structure parameters on the starting performance of the switched reluctance motor is studied using the field-circuit coupled finite element method. The starting performance of the switched reluctance motor is obtained under the different control and structure parameters. The alternating starting mode of single- and two-phase winding can improve the starting torque of switched reluctance motor (SRM). As the stator pole arc coefficient increases, the starting torque of SRM increases. The appropriate reduction of the air gap length can improve the starting torque of SRM. Experimental results of the prototype are compared with the calculation results, which verifies the reliability of the calculation method and accuracy of the calculation results.

the article presents the principles and algorithms of the finite element method in solving geotechnical prob-lems taking into account seismic impacts for determining the stress-strain state of structures and slope stabil-ity, implemented in the Midas GTS NX software package. GTS NX allows you to perform calculations of various types of geotechnical problems and solve complex geotechnical problems in a single software envi-ronment. GTS NX covers the entire range of engineering and geotechnical projects, including calculations of the "base-structure" system, deep pits with various mounting options, tunnels of complex shape, consolida-tion and filtration calculations, as well as calculations for dynamic actions and stability calculations. At the same time, all types of calculations in GTS NX can be performed both in 2D and in 3D. The author does not claim to be the author of the finite element method, but he cannot do without pointing out the basic equa-tions, as this affects the definition of the boundaries of use, the formulation of algorithms for constructing calculation schemes and the analysis of calculation results.

The sequence of application of the mixed method for calculating internal forces in statically indeterminate frames with elements of increased rigidity is given. The main system is chosen for the frame with one kinematic and one force unknown. The canonical equations of the mixed method are written, taking into account their meaning. Completed the construction of the final diagram of the bending moments and all the necessary calculations and checks. When calculating integrals, Vereshchagin's rule is applied. The solution of the problem is checked by performing the calculation using the computer program STAB12.EXE; the results of the calculations are numerically verified using the finite element method. An example of the formation of the initial data for the STAB12.EXE program and the subsequent processing of the calculation results, the rules for comparing the numerical results and the results obtained in the calculation of the frame by the mixed method are given.

Pipeline on-bottom stability is one of the sophisticated problems in subsea pipeline design procedure. Due to the uncertainty of the pipe-soil interaction and environment loads, including wave, current, or earthquake, etc., it is classified as the typical nonlinear problem. The Finite Element Method is introduced into pipeline engineering several years ago. More and more special engineering software such as AGA, PONDUS are available in market. However, when doing a project, some abnormal data was found when compared the DnV calculation results and AGA. In order to know the behavior of pipeline on seabed under wave and current load, finite element method – ABAQUS is introduced to do this analysis. The ABAQUS/explicit is used to simulate 600s pipeline dynamic response. The pipeline is supposed to be exposed on seabed and the selected seabed model is large enough to avoid the edge effect. ABAQUS calculation results are compared with the requirements in DnV rules to verify the validity of finite element model.

Aimed at deflection fracturing by oriented perforation, a two-dimensional, non-steady and two-phase Finite Element Method (FEM) is established. Taking a battery of wells in the inverted nine-spot rhombus pattern as object of study, it is reported that law of different crack initiation angle (CIA) affecting deflection fracturing. In the respect of daily oil production and cumulative oil production, the dual fracture with different CIA is more than straight fracture. So it is feasible to use deflection fracturing of oriented perforation to increase the production of the special low permeability oilfield. In contrast to dual fractures with different fracturing initiation angles, we can see that the wider CIA, the higher cumulative oil production. So we can draw such a conclusion that when deflection fracturing is implemented, angle should be increased if the working condition is permitted so as to increase the production of oil well.
