In this paper we calculated and compared the arc driving force of two spiral-tyre vacuum interrupter electrode models which have 3petals and 4petals respectively by means of commercial finite element method software Maxwell 3D. As a result we can find that the more petals the electrode has, the stronger arc driving force was generated. This simulation method can contribute to optimization of spiral-type electrode designs in a view of arc driving force.

The design of segmental bridges, a structure that typically employs precast prestressed concrete elements and the balanced cantilever construction method for the deck, may demand a highly complex structural analysis for increased precision of the results. This work presents a comprehensive numerical analysis of a 3D finite element model using the software ANSYS, version 21.2, to simulate the constructive deck stages of the New Guaiba Bridge, a structure located in Porto Alegre city, southern Brazil. The materials concrete and steel were considered viscoelastic. The concrete used a Generalized Kelvin model, with subroutines written in FORTRAN and added to the main model through the customization tool UPF (User Programmable Features). The steel prestressing tendons used a Generalized Maxwell model available in ANSYS. The balanced cantilever constructive steps of a span of the New Guaiba Bridge were then numerically simulated to follow the actual constructive sequence of the bridge. A comparison between the results obtained with the numerical model and the actual vertical displacement data monitored during the bridge's construction was carried out, showing a good correlation.

The current article deals with the dynamic stability, and structural improvement of vibrating electrically curved screen on the viscoelastic substrate. By considering optimum value for radius curvature of the electrically curved screen, the structure improvement of the system occurs. For modeling the electrically system, the Maxwell's' equation is developed. Hertz contact model in employed to obtain contact forces between impactor and structure. Moreover, variational methods and nonlinear von Kármán model are used to derive boundary conditions (BCs) and nonlinear governing equations of the vibrating electrically curved screen. Galerkin and Multiple scales solution approach are coupled to solve the nonlinear set of governing equations of the vibrating electrically curved screen. Along with the analytical solution, 3D finite element simulation via ABAQUS package is provided with the aid of a FE package for simulating the current system's response. The results are categorized in 3 different sections. First, effects of geometrical and material parameters on the vibrational performance and stability of the curves panel. Second, physical properties of the impactor are taken in to account and their effect on the absorbed energy and velocity profile of the impactor are presented. Finally, effect of the radius and initial velocity on the mode shapes of the current structure is demonstrated.

As a highly conductive and transparent electrode, the optical transmittances of ITO/Ag/ITO were simulated and compared with the experimental results. The simulations are based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method in solving linear Maxwell equations. In our simulations, the computation domain is set in the XZ-plane with 3D dimension, and a plane wave with variable wavelengths ranging from 250 nm to 850 nm is incident in the z-direction at normal incidence to the ITO/Ag/ITO film surrounded by free-air space. As the results through both simulations and experiments, it was shown that the thickness combinations by the ITO layers of about 40 nm and the Ag layer of about 10 nm could be most suitable conditions as a high conductive transparent electrode having the transmittance similar to that of a single ITO layer.

선형유도전동기와 같은 속도기전력을 포함하는 운동자계 문제를 Galerkin 법을 이용하는 FEM으로 해석할 경우, Peclet Number의 값에 따라 해가 오실레이션 할 수 있으므로 해의 안정성이 떨어지게 되며, 더불어서 2차측 Back-Iron에서 자속이 외부와 쇄교하지 못하고 내부에서 맴도는 자속 맴돌이 현상이 발생하게 된다. 이 경우, 일반적으로 Up-Wind 기법을 이용하여 자속의 맴돌이 현상을 해결하게 되는데, 범용 S/W Tool(Maxwell 2D)의 경우 Up-Wind 기법을 적용하기가 힘들다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Peclet Number 값에 따른 선형유도전동기의 2차측 Back-Iron에서 발생하는 자속의 맴돌이 현상을 살펴보고, 자속의 맴돌이 현상이 선형유도전동기의 동특성에 어떠한 영향을 끼치는지를 분석하였다.

A 2-D model of fluid flow, mass transport and electrochemistry is analysed to examine the effect of current density at the current collector depending on active layer thickness of catlyst in polymer elecrolyte fuel cells. The finite element method is used to solve the continuity, potential and Maxwell-Stefan equations in the flow channel and gas diffusion electrode regions. For the material behavior of electrode reactions in the active catalyst layers, the agglomerate model is implemented to solve the diffusion-reaction problem. The calculated model results are described and compared with the different thickness of active catalyst layers. The significance of the results is discussed in the viewpoint of the current collecting capabilities as well as mass transportation phenomena, which is inferred that the mass transport of reactants dictates the efficiency of the electrode in the present analysis.

In this paper, we calculated the axial magnetic field at mid-gap plane between upper and lower electrode in vacuum interrupter by means of commercial finite element method Maxwell 3D and compared on the basis of "effective area" criterion. The models used in this paper are coil type(axial magnetic field) vacuum interrupter electrodes which have different numbers of coil segment. We used Dr. Schulmann's experimental equation which indicates minimum critical value of axial magnetic field to diffuse arc.

In the high-speed EMU, the modularized traction converter produces the significant harmonic currents caused from the switching behavior of a power converter. These harmonic currents bring the interference among the traction equipment. One way to minimize the interference is to design the secondary windings of a power transformer decoupled magnetically as possible. This paper presents a magnetic field analysis on a winding disposition to clarify an impact on magnetic decoupling between secondary windings, under a limited height of a train. Two winding dispositions for a single-phase shell-type transformer are constructed and simulated by a three-dimensional finite elements method (FEM) model. Two different winding dispositions are constructed and simulated by three-dimensional FEM model using Maxwell3D.

In this paper we analyzes only 2 poles of the stepping motor, which has 10 magnetic poles made up of NdFeB material, using periodic boundary condition. We clarify transient response and static torque charateristics using Maxwell 3D and Matlab Simulink.

An electromagnetic actuator has been designed and fabricated for Probe-based data storage applications. The actuator consists of permanent magnets(SmCo) housing and a media Platform which is connected to the Si frame by four couples of Si leaf springs. In order to generate electromagnetic force, Cu coils were electroplated under the media platform. The magnetic field distribution was calculated with 3D Finite Element Method of Maxwell 3D program. The field strength felt by Cu coils was estimated to be about 0.33T when the distance between the media platform and permanent magnets is $200\mu\textrm{m}$. The static and dynamic motions of the actuator were analyzed by FEM method with ANSYS 5.3. The measured displacements of the actuator were about $\pm$$92\mu\textrm{m}$ for input current of $\pm$40㎃ and the resonance frequency was 100Hz. The proposed electromagnetic actuator can be utilized for media driver of probe-based data storage system.
