The probe-type and substrate-type ultrasonic micro/nano manipulation systems have proven to be two kinds of powerful tools for manipulating micro/nanoscale materials. Numerical simulations of acoustofluidic fields in these two kinds of systems can not only be used to explain and analyze the physical mechanisms of experimental phenomena, but also provide guidelines for optimization of device parameters and working conditions. However, in-depth quantitative study and analysis of acoustofluidic fields in the two ultrasonic micro/nano manipulation systems have scarcely been reported. In this paper, based on the finite element method (FEM), we numerically investigated the two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric acoustofluidic fields in the probe-type and substrate-type ultrasonic micro/nano manipulation systems by the perturbation method (PM) and Reynolds stress method (RSM), respectively. Through comparing the simulation results computed by the two methods and the experimental verifications, the feasibility and reasonability of the two methods in simulating the acoustofluidic fields in these two ultrasonic micro/nano manipulation systems have been validated. Moreover, the effects of device parameters and working conditions on the acoustofluidic fields are clarified by the simulation results and qualitatively verified by the experiments.

The work employs the finite element method to model the finger touch on the flexible ultra-thin touch panel for analyzing the touch signal. The touch signal generates the ghost points when the fingers multi-touch on the flexible ultra-thin touch panel. The simulation of minimizing the top layer (over cover) thickness based on the model is conducted in order to eliminate the ghost points. The simulation results show the over cover thickness should be larger than 107 μm to eliminate the ghost points. Further, we propose the method to solve the ghost points and minimize the over cover thickness. The simulation results conducted in this proposed method show that the over cover thickness can be reduced further to 65 μm.

ABSTRACT: This work presents the dynamic response of a lock subjected to the horizontal S0E component of the El Centro earthquake for empty and completely filled water chamber cases, by coupled fluid-structure analysis. Initially, the lock was studied by approximation, considering it similar to the case of a double piston coupled to a two-dimensional acoustic cavity (tank), representing a simplified analytical model of the fluid-structure problem. This analytical formulation can be compared with numerical results, in order to qualify the responses of the ultimate problem to be investigated. In all the analyses performed, modeling and numerical simulations were done using the finite element method (FEM), supported by the commercial software ANSYS.

Modern engineering practice requires advanced numerical modeling because, among other things, it reduces the costs associated with prototyping or predicting the occurrence of potentially dangerous situations during operation in certain defined conditions. Different methods have so far been used to implement the real structure into the numerical version. The most popular have been variations of the finite element method (FEM). The aim of this Special Issue has been to familiarize the reader with the latest applications of the FEM for the modeling and analysis of diverse mechanical problems. Authors are encouraged to provide a concise description of the specific application or a potential application of the Special Issue.

This paper is devoted to the dynamic modeling of micropolar gyroelastic beams and explores some of the modeling and analysis issues related to them. The simplified micropolar beam torsion and bending theories are used to derive the governing dynamic equations of micropolar gyroelastic beams from Hamilton’s principle. Then these equations are solved numerically by utilizing the finite element method and are used to study the spectral and modal behaviour of micropolar gyroelastic beams.

Abstract Based on hierarchic shape functions and an effective convergence procedure, the p-version and h-p adaptive analysis capabilities were incorporated into a finite element software system, called COSMOS/M. The range of the polynomial orders can be varied from 1 to 10 for two dimensional linear elastic analysis. In the h-p adaptive analysis process, a refined mesh are first achieved via adaptive h-refinement. The p-refinement is then added on to the h-version designed mesh by uniformly increasing the degree of the polynomials. Some numerical results computed by COSMOS/M are presented to illustrate the performance of these p and h-p analysis capabilities.

Pressure resistant performance of Measure While Drilling (MWD) microchip tracer to withstand the harsh downhole environment is one of the key issues of normal working. Therefore, it is an effective way to analyze pressure resistant performance of the tracer in the design phase. Compressive strength of the tracer was studied based on finite element method. Considering downhole complexity and working conditions during the processing of tracer roundness, material non-uniformity and other factors. In this study, researchers took sub-proportion failure criterion to determine the failure of tracer. Simulation results of two structures, with pin and without pin, show that both structures met the requirement of downhole compressive strength, and the structure with pin was better than the structure without pin. This study provides basis for downhole application of microchip tracers.
