Focus on stress concentration and high stress area, four improvements were put forward through analyzed a hydraulic excavator's boom with the finite element method under the bucket digging condition. Compared the stress distribution graph, the results show that these schemes can improve the stress concentration phenomenon and the high stress distribution areas. The practices demonstrated the effectiveness to reduce the invalidation rate of hydraulic excavator's boom.

Loosening of cemented hip prostheses has been reported on occasion. Although a few laboratory experiments have replicated clinical failure modes, the methods appear to be very complicated and time consuming. In this analysis, the Finite Element Method was utilized to evaluate the stress distribution in a cement layer. Two distinct hip implant designs with and without grooves in the anterior/posterior surfaces were investigated. The results indicate that the features of the multiple grooves in these cemented hip implants may improve the rotational stability and reduce the cement stress at the implant-cement interface.

In order to improve the riveting precision, the finite element method and topological optimization design based on the variable density method were employed to design the pedestal of horizontal rocket rivet fixture. Topological optimization model was set up based on static analysis of the original designed pedestal under various typical load cases. Topological optimization results of various load cases were compared with original pedestal. The result showed deficiencies of the original pedestal, and a new model was built based on topological optimization results. The analysis of topological model was carried out by applying the finite element method. The results show that the stiffness of pedestal was remarkably improved; the stress distribution was more homogenized and the displacement of the guide rail was decreased after optimization. This method could also provide reference and guidance for designing other complicated structures.

Abstract An analysis is presented of the stress field in and around inclusions of various shapes. Results were obtained by the finite element method. Inclusions were located within elementary cells located at the centre of the specimen next to the crack front. The influence of an in-plane constraint on the stress distribution was tested.
