With the rotor structure ofturbopump, using a one-dimensional finite element method, considering the mass of shaft, gyroscopic effect and influence of shearing deformation,establishedtheone-dimensional rotor dynamics finite element model, calculated its six rank of the critical speed, and compared the gyroscopic effect and mass of shaft to the influence of the critical speed turbopump, and the results show that, considering the mass of shaft there is a slight decrease of critical speed value, and gyroscopic effect on critical speed calculation has a significant effect, therefore, gyroscopic effect must be considered in the design of turbopumps.

The homogeneous solutions of the governing differential equations derived from energy variational method was used as the displacement patterns of finite segment. The stiffness and load matrix are obtained in terms of directed stiffness method and working energy principle. A one dimensional finite element method is presented to calculate the shear lag effects with multi-span continuous curved in engineering for general box girder. In addition, the tests of perspex modeled bridge and numerical calculation of the model tests by proposed method and finite element method are made. The results of model tests and numerical calculation verify perfectly in this paper.

The fundamental resistivity logging problem of a resistivity tool in the presence of both vertical and horizontal boundaries is solved with a hybrid method. The hybrid method combines the mode concept in waveguide theory together with the finite‐element method. In the mathematical formulation, the horizontal boundaries are used to separate the geometry of the problem into different regions. In each region, the waveguide modes are obtained through the solution of an equivalent variational problem. The solutions are calculated by a one‐dimensional finite‐element method. The vertical boundaries are taken into account in these calculations. The orthonormality of modes in each region allows a series representation of the potential in the regions. Boundary conditions at horizontal bed boundaries then couple the modes between different regions and enable the solutions for the potential to be expressed in terms of reflection and transmission matrices of modes. The source excitation determines the amplitudes of the modes. The results of the hybrid method are in excellent agreement with those of the integral transform solution. Numerical results of the apparent resistivity are illustrated as a function of formation properties. The effects of an invaded zone are also examined by considering radial inhomogeneous profiles in the formation. The results of the hybrid method are numerically efficient because it reduces the two‐dimensional finite‐element problem into a one‐dimensional one. It also provides a physical interpretation of the solution in terms of modes.

Gearing is one of the most critical components in mechanical power transmission systems.. This paper explains about the comparison of the geometry of Helical gears for two different modules by modeling and mathematical equations, load distribution at various positions of the contact line and the stress analysis of Helical gears using three-dimensional finite element method. The bending stresses were examined using three-dimensional finite element model.. These stresses of different modules obtained from the finite element analysis were compared and the considerable reduction of weight occurred was found and also the values are compared with the theoretical values. Both results agree very well. This indicates that the finite element method model is accurate.
