Design of a Knowledge Based System to Convert Airframe Geometric Models to Structural Models
Airframe manufactures who use CAD tools to design airframes and finite element analysis software to analyze them, still generate the finite element models using semi-manual methods. Although...
Knowledge Engineering in Object and Space Modeling
This paper gives a description of Topology-1, which attempts to provide a tool for object and space modeling through the use of knowledge engineering techniques. It elaborates the system...
Measurement of Vertical Ground Vibrations
This paper examines the use of surface and embedded mountings, to which transducers are attached for the measurement of free field vertical ground vibrations. Upper limits to the frequency...
Routing Comparisons in Natural and Geometric Channels
A method of establishing composite geometric cross section shapes hydraulically similar to natural cross sections with flood plains is proposed. The method is based on the nondimensionalized...
Some Recent Advances in Automatic Mesh Generation
The establishment of automated finite element modeling procedures must begin with the development of automatic mesh generators capable of producing a valid finite element mesh for any...
Modern Methods for Automatic FE Mesh Generation
An overview of the various Finite Element mesh generation techniques is presented. Since most automatic FE Mesh Generation techniques read in geometry of the object and create meshes on...
A Mesh Generator for the Modeling of Rock Discontinuities
The need to characterize a rock mass by collecting field data is receiving more and more emphasis as larger, more ambitious underground structures are being built. Yet there is a need...
