Thermo-mechanical analysis ( Heat transfer due to radiation and convection)

Submitted by manishkr on

Hi,
I know you place tremendous value on your time so I’ll be brief.
I am trying to do a thermo-mechanical analysis of a closed region (H=75cm). In this region, at the bottom, the Temperature is around 700 degree. A structural beam is placed at the height of 25 cm from the bottom surface in closed region.
I want to simulate the heat transfer from the bottom surface to beam due to convection (because air is there as a medium in closed region) and radiation.

Highly motivated applicants should contact me to state their interest. In parallel, an application to the EPFL doctoral school in mechanics (http://phd.epfl.ch/edme) must be filed.

 

B-Spline and NURBS

Submitted by Ahmad Yavari on

Hi Dears

I have a question about B-Spline or NURBS. Assume that we have a X(u)=sig(Ri,p(u)).Xi that Xi are the control points and Ri,p are the rational basis functions. When I choose a parametric variable like ui according to control point by interpolation I can find the X(ui), now the question is this that can I find the parametric variable according to having an spatial X(u)??? It means that can I find the parametric variable that have resulted a spatial X(u) that I have it???
thanks for your attention.
