Abstract The rigid finite element method (RFEM) has been used mainly for modelling systems with beam-like links. This paper deals with modelling of a single set of electrodes consisting of an upper beam with electrodes, which are shells with complicated shapes, and an anvil beam. Discretisation of the whole system, both the beams and the electrodes, is carried out by means of the rigid finite element method. The results of calculations concerned with free vibrations of the plates are compared with those obtained from a commercial package of the finite element method (FEM), while forced vibrations of the set of electrodes are compared with those obtained by means of the hybrid finite element method (HFEM) and experimental measurements obtained on a special test stand.

The rationale for teaching undergraduate electromagnetics partly through the finite element method, is put forward. Properly presented, the finite element method, easily within the ken of the engineering undergraduate, promotes clarity and helps to replace large portions of syllabi devoted to special solution methods, with problems of industrial magnitude and character.

The theory of plates and shells is not adapted to design thickness for the multi-holes plates in engineering. A new method to quickly optimize the thickness based on the finite element method theory was put forward. The method combined the theory of plate with the finite element method to establish a mathematical model and analyzed the influences of load, constraint and complexity on design error. The practices demonstrated that the proposed design method is effective and feasible.

This paper comprises a report on recent developments in the application of the finite element method in the analysis of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (e.h.l.) problems. The basic formulation is effected, using the Galerkin approach and the domain under investigation is discretized using isoparametric elements. The techniques used to locate the inlet and outlet boundaries and those employed during successive iterations are illustrated by application to particular examples.

A new approach is proposed to predict the dynamic behavior of rotor-bearing systems in time domain using the combined methodologies of finite elements and transfer matrices. This approach makes use of the finite element method to model symmetric shafts and then transforms the system properties to transfer matrix mode. The formulation provides flexibility to include both linear and nonlinear system models, often encountered in rotor dynamic applications. Few example rotor cases had been studied and the results were compared with those obtained using finite element method. This establishes that considerable savings in computational effort can be achieved without losing any accuracy.
