The study of electromagnetism in electrical machines is critical, especially in the field of
design, investment and optimal performance. To achieve this, there are many ways in which
varying degrees of accuracy . The main aim of this piece of resea
rch is to study electromagnetic
fields distribution in 3ph-induction machines using computational numerical methods and proper
software, because these fields form the basic principle in machine 's work. It has been used the
finite element method aided computer to solve magnetic equations (Maxwell equations).
The simulation of magnetic field in induction machine performed by ANSYS-software. The
paper shows technique for finding the electromagnetic fields distribution in all parts inside 3phinduction
machine to get optimal design.
Braced frames and steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) have both been shown
to be useful in the seismic retrofit of buildings. While both
these systems have merit, no guidance exists to determine which of the
two approaches is preferable in terms of pr
oviding maximum
displacement ductility and energy dissipation per cycle for a given
strength. This paper describes and compares results from numerical
evaluation using FEM, in which the nonlinearity of materials and the
nonlinear effects of the large displacement was included for tow frames.
The results of numerical study was identical to the experimental tests,
then a barometric study was achieved by changing the thickness of infill
plate then the area of the cross sections of braces, after that the width of
the frame was modified.
The result shown that using steel infill plate is preferable when the
dimension of bay is three times the height, while using braces is more
adequate for frames in which the dimension of bay is less than three times
the height.
This research study aims at investigating the potential benefits of using the reinforcement
to improve the bearing capacity and reduce the settlement of strip footing on clay. To
implement this objective, many numerical 2D-analyses by finite elemen
t method / Plaxis
program were performed to study the behavior of reinforced soil foundation. And then we
carry out a parametric study of the most effective parameter on bearing capacity. The
results showed that the inclusion of reinforcement can significantly improve the bearing
capacity and reduce the footing settlement. The strain developed along the reinforcement is
directly related to the settlement. The results also showed that the inclusion of
reinforcement can redistribute the applied load to a wider area, thus minimizing stress
concentration and achieving a more uniform stress distribution. The redistribution of
stresses below the reinforced zone can result in reducing the settlement of the underlying
weak clayey soil.
In present investigation attempt has been made to study the bearing capacity and settlement
characteristics of footings subjected to central vertical load and resting on layered soil with
the help of model tests and with the application of finite e
lement method (FEM) to
calculate bearing capacity of a strip footing on one-layer and two-layer soil (Sand and
Clay). To investigate the effect of various parameters on soil bearing Capacity a
commercial finite element software, PLAXIS, has been used. Soil profile contains two soil
types including sand and clay. Soil behavior is represented by the elasto-plastic Mohrcoulomb
(MC) -model. For a one-layer case, the bearing capacity also is calculated which
has a good agreement with theoretical equations. For a layered soil, soft-over strong soil,
parametric study was carried out. It is concluded that the bearing capacity of footing
decreases as the height of clayey soil increases whilst the displacement under footing
increases. There is a critical depth where the stronger bottom layer does not affect ultimate
bearing capacity and failure mechanism of footing.
