This paper presents both theoretical and experimental study of particle motion in a typical interdigitated electrode array. Both finite element method and numerical simulation were performed to predict the movement of particles. The simulation results indicated that the particle motion and separation behaviors strongly depend on the combined contributions of a number of parameters, such as the frequency of the electric field, applied voltage, dielectric properties of the particles and the surrounding medium.

Azimuthal electromagnetic wave logging-while-drilling (LWD) technology can detect weak electromagnetic wave signal and realize real-time resistivity imaging. It has great values to reduce drilling cost and increase drilling rate. In this paper, self-adaptive hp finite element method (FEM) has been used to study the azimuthal resistivity LWD responses in different conditions. Numerical simulation results show that amplitude attenuation and phase shift of directional electromagnetic wave signals are closely related to induced magnetic field and azimuthal angle. The peak value and polarity of geological guidance signals can be used to distinguish reservoir interface and achieve real-time geosteering drilling. Numerical simulation results also show the accuracy of the self-adaptive hp FEM and provide physical interpretation of peak value and polarity of the geological guidance signals.

By the use of finite element method, this paper predicts the effects of the shapes of reinforcements with different ductility (Co) on the effective elastic response for WC-Co cemented carbide. This paper conducts a comparative study on the material properties obtained through theoretical model, numerical simulation and experimental observations. Simulation results indicate that the finite element method is more sophisticated than the theoretical prediction.

A numerical model for dispersion of hydrogen in hydrogen powered automobiles was established basing on finite element method with species transport and reaction module of FLUENT. And corresponding numerical simulations were done in order to analysis the dispersion of hydrogen due to leakage from different position of the storage cylinder on the automobiles. Also, the distribution of the hazard region due to hydrogen dispersion was obtained. The simulation results show that the baffle above the cylinder can accumulate the hydrogen. Therefore, the high concentration region of hydrogen exists near the baffle. The study can provide reference for hydrogen sensor placement and safety design of hydrogen powered automobiles.

The tensile model of foams is built using UG software and the tensile deformation processes of microcellular polypropylene foams with different cell sizes are simulated using finite element method (FEM). The effect of cell size on mechanical property is evaluated based on the microstructure of the foams. The cells with small and uniform size are in a state of plane stress, which improved effectively mechanical property of the foams. Whereas the cells with large and nonuniform size are in a state of plane strain, which leads to low mechanical property. The simulation results coincide well with experimental results.

The models of the multi-bundled conductors are constructed by finite element method in this paper. The numerical results are given by using the 4th order Runge-Kutta method considering aerodynamic parameter of sub-conductor. The simulation results are obtained on galloping of quad bundle conductors with the different span. Thus some effective numerical results of quad twin bundle conductor can provide a useful reference for anti-galloping design.

Geostatic stress field procedure is the first and the most important step for the numerical simulation of geotechnical engineering, which greatly influences the simulation results. Traditional methods often fail when the model is complex. In this paper, based on finite element method (FEM) software ABAQUS, failure reasons of four commonly used methods for the geostatic stress field are studied. According to the analysis results, a new set of methods, which can provide reasonable displacement and stress field results under complex conditions, is proposed. The proposed methods follow the principle that the stress of different materials should be obtained separately to avoid stress distortion. Then, the accuracy and applicability of the proposed method are verified through a comparison study and a specific application. This study provides a theoretical basis for the method of geostatic stress field procedure under complex condition and can serve as a reference for relevant studies.

The spiral mark is one of the quality defects on the tube surface in cone-type rotary pericing process. In this paper, the numerical simulation study was carried out for cone-type rotary piercing process using rigid-plastic finite element method. From the simulation results, the axial load applied on piercing plug and mandrel bar were then obtained. Taking the elastic deformation of mandrel bar into consideration, the variation of plug location under axial load during pericing process and the non-homogeneous wall thickness were investigated. The formation mechanism of the spiral mark on the tube surface can be found in the obtained results.
