The working principle of ring capacitance sensor is introduced, that is capacitance fringe effect. Finite element model is established through the Hybrid-Trefftz algorithm. Electric field analysis and simulation calculation of different sensor model are done with the finite element software ANSYS, and the optimal structure combination is obtained. And followed the example of optimal structure, the relation of dielectric constant and electric field intensity were given. The result of simulation shows the most direct and the most important two parameters that affect the sensor performance in the design of the ring capacitance sensor are the two electrodes spacing and the length. The dielectric constant of measured medium is smaller, the intensity of electric field intensity is greater. The simulation for subsequent product design has a good theoretical guidance.

When high speed rail run at high altitudes, over-voltage occurred in the process of operating makes the air gap of cable connector breakdown. It is necessary to clear the electric field intensity distribution and its numerical size of cable connector to make an optimization in order to curb this phenomenon. For this reason, 1:1 finite element model is established by the use of ANSYS software, and the simulation results show that the maximum value of the electric field intensity of cable connector can reach 644.05 kV/m. The maximum electric field is reduced with adding an insulating jacket to the head of cable connector. When the thickness of the insulating jacket is respectively 3 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm, 10 mm, the maximum electric field intensity percentage decreased is 10.26%, 11.4%, 16.1%, and 16.7%. So the insulating jacket would be an effective measure to inhibiting the breakdown of the air gap at the cable connector.

In order to realize the application of finite element analysis in structural optimization of micro-arc oxidation electrode, effects of two kinds of electrode mode (one and two cathodes) on thickness and surface morphology of ceramic coatings prepared by micro-arc oxidation on aluminum alloy were researched by experiment. Meanwhile, Ansoft Maxwell finite element software was used to analysis the main influence factor (electric field intensity). We contrasted the analysis conclusion above with the forecast results in experiment. Effect of electric field intensity on thickness and surface morphology of ceramic coatings were explained from micro level, the correctness of the finite element analysis software was verified. The results show that three electrodes mode is better than two electrodes mode, the former can not only make the thickness of ceramic coatings thicker, but also make sure the size and quantity of discharge channel bigger and more, and growth power enough.

Terahertz waves are located in the frequency band between radio waves and light, and they are being considered for various applications as a light source. Generally, the use of light requires focusing; however, when a terahertz wave is irradiated onto a small detector or a small measurement sample, its wavelength, which is much longer than that of visible light, causes problems. The diffraction limit may make it impossible to focus the terahertz light down to the desired range by using common lenses. The Bull’s Eye structure, which is a plasmonic structure, is a promising tool for focusing the terahertz light beyond the diffraction limit and into the sub-wavelength region. By utilizing the surface plasmon propagation, the electric field intensity and transmission coefficient can be enhanced. In this study, we improved the electric field intensity and light focusing in a small region by adapting the solid immersion method (SIM) from our previous study, which had a frequency-tunable nonconcentric Bull’s Eye structure. Through electromagnetic field analysis, the electric field intensity was confirmed to be approximately 20 times higher than that of the case without the SIM, and the transmission measurements confirmed that the transmission through an aperture had a gap of 1/20 that of the wavelength. This fabricated device can be used in imaging and sensing applications because of the close contact between the transmission aperture and the measurement sample.

This paper takes the 2nd HP turbine disc of an aeroengine as research object, construct its finite element model in software-Patran. According to the work environment of 2nd HP turbine disc, the boundary conditions of stress field analysis and temperature field analysis are confirmed. Based on the finite element theory of thermal analysis and structure analysis, we use finite element software-Nastran to analyze centrifugal stress and thermal stress. Numerical calculation method was used to fit the data and finally we got the thermal elastic stress field. According to the computed results, the life assessment points of disc were confirmed. The static strength of 2nd HP turbine disc was tested based on the EGD-3 criterion. All the work established the foundation for subsequent life analysis.

In the current study, the finite element analysis was used to simulate the change in electric field intensity due to the change of needle diameter and length, receiving distance,voltage and the spacing between needles located in a row. The resulting conclusion could be used to guide the design and manufacture of electrospinning machines at industrial scale.

The electric field distribution was the main factor affecting on the current efficiency of electrolysis cell. So, the electric field distribution of magnesium electrolysis cell was studied to improve the current efficiency by two of main finite element softwares, COMSOL and ANSYS.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the changes in the electric field intensity due to the presence of dust on the 63 kV porcelain insulators using finite element method (FEM). The investigating Insulators were drawn in three different models (without dust layer as a basic structure, with uniform dust layer and heterogeneous dust layer) using AutoCAD software and in continue are analyzed with utilization of COMSOL software. Finally the derived values are analyzed and discussed in details. It is shown that the dust layer has an adverse effect on the electric field pattern, and the higher the concentration and volume of dust placed on the surface of insulators, results to an adverse effect on the electric field intensity around the porcelain insulator.
