A numerical model was made to establish the casting hardness for the magnesium alloys MCMgAl12Zn1, MCMgAl6Zn1, MCMgAl3Zn1 and MCMgAl9Zn1. Computer simulation of hardness was performed using the finite element method in ANSYS environment, and the hardness values were obtained by experiments based on the Rockwell method. The showed model fulfils the initial criteria, which provides with the basis for the assumption about its utility in establishing the casting hardness of the magnesium alloys MCMgAl12Zn1, MCMgAl6Zn1, MCMgAl3Zn1 and MCMgAl9Zn., using the finite element method within the framework of the ANSYS program. There is the correlation of the computer simulation results with the experimental outcomes. Nowadays the computer simulation is very well known, and it is based on the finite element method, what it makes possible to better comprehend the autonomy between the process parameters and selected optimal solution. The chance of applying faster and faster calculation machines and the formation of much software enables creating the more accurate models and more the adequate ones to reality.

Development of the technologies simulating optical processes in an arbitrary dispersed medium is one of the important directions in the field of optical instrumentation and can provide computer simulation of the processes instead of using expensive equipment in physical experiments. The goal of the study is simulation of scattering of optical radiation by aerosol media using the finite element method to show a practical significance of the results of virtual experiments. We used the following initial conditions of the model: radius of a spherical particle of distilled water is 1 μm, wavelength of the incident optical radiation is 0.6328 μm, air is a medium surrounding the particle. An algorithm for implementation of the model by the finite element method is proposed. A subprogram has been developed which automates a virtual experiment for a group of particles to form their random arrangement in the model and possibility of changing their geometric shape and size within predetermined intervals. Model dependences of the radiation intensity on the scattering angle for single particle and groups of particles are presented. Simulation of the light transmission through a dispersed medium provides development of a given photosensor design and determination of the minimum number of photodetectors when measuring the parameters of the medium under study via analysis of the indicatrix of scattering by a group of particles.

By the use of finite element method, this paper predicts the effects of the shapes of reinforcements with different ductility (Co) on the effective elastic response for WC-Co cemented carbide. This paper conducts a comparative study on the material properties obtained through theoretical model, numerical simulation and experimental observations. Simulation results indicate that the finite element method is more sophisticated than the theoretical prediction.
