Failure of a Concrete Beam Using Coupled Damage–Plasticity
Failure of reinforced concrete structures involves advanced material behavior and interaction between materials. This example demonstrates how to model various stages of the failure of a reinforced concrete beam. The material model includes a coupled damage-plasticity model for the ... Read More
Three Cases for a 1D Photonic Crystal
In this model, an eigenfrequency analysis is performed to give a bandgap analysis of a 1D multilayer photonic crystal extending to infinity in +/- y direction. We perform the bandgap analysis for three different cases of material properties, as discussed in Chapter 4 of Ref. 1. Case ... Read More
Ion Energy Distribution Function in a Capacitively Coupled Plasma Reactor
This model computes the ion energy distribution function (IEDF) for a commercial capacitively coupled plasma reactor. The results show good agreement with experimental data. Read More
Electric Field Between Concentric Cylinders
This introduction model creates a simple model of the electrostatics problem with two concentric cylinders of infinite length, which is commonly found in textbooks. Since there is an analytical solution to this problem, the model can be used to compare theory with numerical results from ... Read More
Stress analysis of an IGBT module under the Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST) condition
The Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST) is a testing technique to precipitate failure of electronic devices under elevated temperature and high humidity environment. This model demonstrates the structural analysis of a plastic encapsulated IGBT module under the HAST testing condition. ... Read More
Radiation Effects in a PIN Diode
This tutorial performs steady-state and transient analysis of the response of a PIN diode to constant and pulsed radiation, respectively. The effect of radiation is modeled as spatially uniform generation of electron-hole pairs within the device. At high dose rates the separation of the ... Read More
Modeling Groundwater Contamination
A simple model for groundwater contamination portrays a well that is bored into an aquifer. The aquifer consists of a partially saturated layer and a fully saturated layer. The model investigates how much of the contaminant ends up in the well after a contaminant is introduced in the ... Read More
Stress in Cooling Pipeline Network
This example demonstrates how to model coupled flow, heat transfer, and structural deformation and stress in a pipeline network. Gravity loads from the pipe and fluid are also taken into account. Read More
Comparison of Formulations for RF Heating
This model compares the results of five different formulations and approaches to solving an RF heating problem consisting of a coaxial cable inserted into a sample of lossy dielectric material. Results show that the different formulations agree over a wide frequency band. To learn more ... Read More
Tilted Pad Thrust Bearing
Tilted pad thrust bearings are used in rotating machineries with high thrust loading. The thrust load is transferred from a sliding part to a stationary part through hydrodynamic oil films. The tilted pad thrust bearing consists of a series of flat surfaces sliding over stationary tilted ... Read More
