Modeling pressure distribution in FEM

AI Thread Summary
To model pressure distribution in a rolling process using FEM, first determine the pressure distribution as a function of the longitudinal and lateral directions. Next, integrate the pressure over the area where it is applied to convert it into equivalent nodal forces. This approach is essential for accurately simulating the effects of pressure in the model. Additional resources or links on FEM and pressure distribution can provide further guidance. Understanding these steps is crucial for effective modeling in this context.

Hi guys.
I want to model the pressure distribution in rolling process and convert the pressure distribution into equivalent nodal forces. How do I do it. Please guys it's urgent. Any links would also help.
Thanks

A good starting point is to find the pressure distribution as a function of longitudinal and lateral (x and y) directions. Then integrate over the region the pressure is applied, then go on from there...
 
Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
