This chapter shows, through the example of the addition of a plate and shell element to freeware FEM-object, an object-oriented (C++) finite element program, how object-oriented approaches, as opposed to procedural approaches, make finite element codes more compact, more modular, and versatile but mainly more easily expandable, in order to improve the continuity and the compatibility between software of research and industrial software. The fundamental traits of object-oriented programming are first briefly reviewed, and it is shown how such an approach simplifies the coding process. Then, the isotropic shell and orthotropic plate formulations used are given and the discretized equations developed. Finally, the necessary additions to the FEM-object code are reviewed. Numerical examples using the newly created plate membrane plate element are shown.

Recently internal and external prestressing enjoys a booming in the bridge construction, but the existing structural analysis programs of bridge can’t meet the requirements of analyzing the internal and external prestressing comprehensively. This paper will simulate internal and external prestressing effects by the finite element method; come up with some programming methods based on the object-oriented thought; and put forward the design and implementation methods of internal and external prestressing effect class by abstracting them to the corresponding class and elaborating the main features of each class, including the instantiation object and the typical method, to realizing the internal and external prestressing effects calculating. All of these will provide some references to the development of structural analysis program of bridge.

ABSTRACT The fracture field of coal and rock mass is the main channel for gas migration and accumulation. Exploring the evolution law of fracture field of coal and rock mass under the condition of drilling and slitting construction has important theoretical significance for guiding efficient gas drainage. The generation and evolution process of coal and rock fissures is also the development and accumulation process of its damage. Therefore, based on damage mechanics and finite element theory, the mathematical model is established. The damage variable of coal mass is defined by effective strain, the elastoplastic damage constitutive equation is established and the secondary development of finite element program is completed by FORTRAN language. Using this program, the numerical simulation of drilling and slitting construction of the 15-14120 mining face of Pingdingshan No. 8 Mine is carried out, and the effects of different single borehole diameters, different kerf widths and different kerf heights on the distribution area of surrounding coal fracture field and the degree of damage are studied quantitatively. These provide a theoretical basis for the reasonable determination of the slitting and drilling arrangement parameters at the engineering site.

Owing to the lack of a good theory method to obtain the accurate equivalent elastic constants of hexagon honeycomb sandwich structure’s core, the paper analyzed mechanics performance of honeycomb sandwich structure’s core and deduced equivalent elastic constants of hexagon honeycomb sandwich structure’s core considering the wall plate expansion deformation’s effect of hexagonal cell. And also a typical satellite sandwich structure was chose as an application to analyze. The commercial finite element program ANSYS was employed to evaluate the mechanics property of hexagon honeycomb core. Numerical simulation analysis and theoretical calculation results show the formulas of equivalent elastic constants is correct and also research results of the paper provide theory basis for satellite cellular sandwich structure optimization design.
