This is a benchmark model for the linearized Euler interface of the Acoustics Module. The model is from the NASA "Fourth Computational Aeroacoustics (CAA) Workshop on Benchmark Problems (2004)". The model results are compared to an analytical solution by Agarwal et al. (AIAA Vol. 42, No. ... Read More
In this example a thin curved membrane is built and solved using the Shell interface. This model is a widely used benchmark model denoted the Scordelis-Lo roof. The computed maximum z-deformation is compared with the value given in Proposed Standard Set of Problems to Test Finite ... Read More
Ultrahigh Molecular Weight (UHMW) Polyethylene is a material commonly employed in knee and hip joint replacements. The “small punch test” is designed to assess mechanical properties using very small samples, such that because of their size they can directly be explanted. This example ... Read More
Model of the sound radiation from a circular duct with uniform flow. The convected acoustic problem is described using the linearized potential flow equations, solved in the frequency domain. The acoustic inlet is treated including higher order modes using the Port boundary condition and ... Read More
Loudspeaker design is a challenging task, where the design objective is to achieve better sound quality without violating manufacturing and operational constraints. The quality of sound depends on many parameters; one of them is the ability to control, damp, and shift the diaphragm ... Read More
This verification model analyzes the acoustics of two coupled rooms using the Acoustic Diffusion Equation interface of the Acoustics Module. The results of the model agree with numerical results that are validated against measurements in a reference paper. Read More
This app demonstrates the following: Using the knob form object Updating the geometry by rotating a knob Provides info if the results are above or below certain critical values Many trucks are equipped with cranes for handling loads and such cranes have a number of hydraulic ... Read More
Bearing clearances should be kept minimum to avoid non-synchronous vibration of a rotor. However, a tight clearance reduces the durability of the bearing. This example illustrates modeling of the vibration induced by nonlinear contact for different radial clearances. It is shown that ... Read More
In this example, the importance of including elastic deformations when analyzing heavily loaded fluid-film bearings is investigated. The structural parts are modeled using the Solid Mechanics interface, while the pressure in the lubricant is determined by the means of the Hydrodynamic ... Read More
The acoustic field in a model of an axially symmetric lined aero-engine duct, based on modal sound transmission, is analyzed. The source is generated by a single mode excitation at a boundary. Sources and nonreflecting conditions are applied using port boundary conditions. The model ... Read More
