Strut And Tie

This paper presents a synthesis of the numerical analyses regarding the method of modelling the coupling beams of structural walls. The directions of the struts and ties are established according to the results obtained after a linear-elastic finite element analysis. The results obtained after modelling using the Strut and Tie Method, with the struts and ties oriented along the diagonals of the coupling beam, coincide with the results obtained by applying the theory provided by EC8, which proves the viability of the method. This is also confirmed by the results obtained after a non-linear analysis was carried out in the LUSAS finite element environment.

Hyperelastic Models

Line profile is an important consideration in printing functional devices particularly in printing very fine line for electronic applications. Since laser machining provides the opportunity to apply extreme fine lines with different profiles where unachievable mechanically. Laser ablated printing plate are costly to produce, hence it is appropriate to investigate this within a computational framework beforehand. Therefore several designs will be investigated with different geometry as the variables using both linear elastic and non linear hyperelastic models. The results exhibits that finite element analysis serves appropriately as an exploration tool where it worked well with experimental results.

Notched Specimens

The aim of this paper is the application of two methods for notch fatigue life assessment, methods which are based on finite element analysis: the theory of critical distances and the volumetric method. Firstly, un-notched and notched specimens (for three different geometries) were tested in tension under constant-amplitude loading. The use of theory of critical distances (TCD) to predict the notch fatigue life involves the determination of the material characteristic length L based on experimental results obtained for the un-notched and one type of notched specimens. For the others notched geometries, based on linear-elastic finite element analysis, the fatigue strength is predicted using the TCD. In order to apply the volumetric method, elastic-plastic stress field around notches are considered and notch strength reduction factor are determined. Finally, the predictions of the two methods were compared with experimental fatigue data for notched specimens.

Fatigue Life Analysis

This study is focused on predicting the fatigue life expectancy of Girth gear-pinion assembly used in cement industries. Gear design and modeling was carried out using a CAD package and analysis was done using finite element analysis software, ANSYS. AISI 4135-low alloy steel material properties are considered and linear elastic finite element analysis and fatigue life analysis were carried out. The variable amplitude load is applied to simulate the real time loading of the gear-pinion assembly. Rainflow cycle counting algorithm and Minars linear damage rule is employed to predict the fatigue life. The critical stress and the corresponding deformation are discussed in the results. Finally the life expectancy of the girth gear and pinion assembly is estimated which would be useful for the periodical maintenance of the gear assembly.

Timber Beams

This study focuses on the flexural behavior of timber beams externally reinforced using carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP). Linear and non-linear finite element analysis were proposed and validated by experimental tests carried out on 44 timber beams to inversely determine the material properties of the timber and the CFRP. All the beams have the same geometrical properties and were loaded under four points bending. In this paper the general commercial software ANSYS was used, and three- and two-dimensional numerical models were evaluated for their ability to describe the behavior of the solid timber beams. The linear elastic orthotropic material model was assumed for the timber beams in the linear range and the 3D nonlinear rate-independent generalized anisotropic Hill potential model was assumed to describe the nonlinear behavior of the material. As for the CFRP, a linear elastic orthotropic material model was introduced for the fibers and a linear elastic isotropic model for the epoxy resin. No mechanical model was introduced to describe the interaction between the timber and the CFRP since failure occurred in the tensile zone of the wood. Simulated and measured load-mid-span deflection responses were compared and the material properties for timber-CFRP were numerically determined.
