Three Dimensional Finite Element

A short explanation of the finite element method as a powerful tool for mathematical modeling is provided, and an application using constitutive modeling of the behavior of ligaments is introduced. Few possible explanations of the role of water in ligament function are extracted from two dimensional finite element models of a classical ligament. The modeling is extended to a three dimensional finite element model for the human anterior cruciate ligament. Simulation of ligament force in pitching motion of basketball player is studied in this paper.

Most of the failures in the sliding systems occur due to the high thermal stresses, which generated at the interface between the contacting surfaces due to sliding between parts, such as friction clutches and brakes. In this paper, the thermal behaviour of a single-disc clutch is investigated. The surface temperatures of the friction clutch disc will be increased during repeated engagements, in some cases, will lead to premature failure of the clutch disc. In order to avoid this kind of failure, it the surface temperature should be calculated with high accuracy to know the maximum working temperature of the friction system. In this work, the temperature distributions are computed during four repeated engagements at regular intervals (5 s) for the same energy dissipation. Three-dimensional finite element models are used to simulate the typical friction clutch disc.
