Three-dimensional finite element analysis is used to explore the influence of several lesion characteristics upon mechanical stress distributions in segmentally necrotic human femoral heads. Variables studied parametrically included apparent modulus deficits within the lesion proper, as well as the depth, width, and location of the infarcted head regions. The detailed patterns of stress redistribution were complex and were found to be a strong function of the specific lesion characteristics. The salient phenomenon, however, was one of preferential load uptake by the stiffer bone surrounding the lesion. Since computed stress reductions within the infarctions were usually much smaller than experimentally observed strength reductions, the data suggest a strong tendency for an elevated incidence of trabecular fatigue fractures in the affected regions.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate a recently developed analytical model [1] which determines the interlaminar stress distributions around a circular hole in symmetric composite laminates under in-plane tensile loading. For this purpose, a three-dimensional finite element analysis is performed and the stress distributions for symmetric cross-ply laminates are presented This work is relevant to the prediction of delamination onset load and location around the discontinuity.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.
