Beam-column connection in Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame is one of the most critical parts of the structure which has important role in seismic performance of these buildings. When a beam-column ...

Abstract: Solving the forward kinematics of parallel robots efficiently is important for real-time applications. However, it remains a difficult problem due to its high nonlinearity. This paper ...

When I first started working with FEA, one question that always confused me was: “What exactly is the difference between an implicit and explicit analysis?” This article is my attempt to simplify that ...

Abstract: A hybrid electromagnetics (EM)-circuit simulation method employing the discontinuous Galerkin finite element time domain (DGFETD) method is developed to model single lumped port networks ...

Power flow (PF) analysis aims to calculate the complex voltage, i.e., the voltage magnitude and phase angle, of all buses in power systems for given loads, generations, and network topologies. The ...

Reservoir numerical simulation is an important tool and method for the reasonable and efficient development of shale reservoirs. Accurate description of three-dimensional fractures in shale reservoir ...
