The finite element method is a numerical method that is used to find solution of mathematical and engineering problems. It basically deals with partial differential equations. It is very complex for civil engineers to study various structures by using analytical method,so they prefer finite element methods over the analytical methods. As it is an approximate solution, therefore several limitationsare associated in the applicationsin civil engineering due to misinterpretationof analyst. Hence, the main aim of the paper is to study the finite element method in details along with the benefits and limitations of using this method in analysis of building components like beams, frames, trusses, slabs etc.

The work investigates the importance of the K-T approach in the modelling of pressure cracked structures. T-stress is the constant in the second term of the Williams expression; it is often negligible, but recent literature has shown that there are cases where T-stress plays the role of opening the crack, also T-stress improves elastic modeling at the point of crack. In this research study, the most important effects of the T-stress are collected and analyzed. A numerical analysis was carried out by the extended finite element method (X-FEM) to analyze T-stress in an arc with external notch under internal pressure. The different stress method (SDM) is employed to calculate T-stress. Moreover, the influence of the geometry of the notch on the biaxiality is also examined. The biaxiality gave us a view on the initiation of the crack. The results are extended with a comparison to previous literature to validate the promising investigations.

AbstractDesigning components is a complex task, which depends on the component function, the raw material, and the production technology. In the case of rotating parts with higher RPM, the creep and orientation are essential material properties. The PLA components made with the material extrusion process are more resistant than VeroWhite (material jetting) and behave similarly to weakly cross-linked elastomers. Also, based on the tensile tests, Young’s modulus shows minimal anisotropy. Multilinear isotropic hardening and modified time hardening models are used to create the finite element model. Based on the measurements, the finite element method simulation was identified. The deformation in the compressor wheel during rotation became definable. It was concluded that the strain of the compressor wheel manufactured with material extrusion technology is not significant.

Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) has become popular for metal sheet forming technology in industry in many advanced countries. In the recent decade, there were lots of related studies that have concentrated on this new technology by Finite Element Method as well as by empirical practice. There have had very rare studies by pure analytical theory and almost all these researches were based on the formula of ISEKI. However, we consider that this formula does not reflect yet the mechanics of destruction of the sheet work piece as well as the behavior of the sheet in reality. The main aim of this paper is to examine ISEKI’s formula and to suggest a new analytical computation of three elements of stresses at any random point on the sheet work piece. The suggested formula is carefully verified by the results of Finite Element Method simulation.

Abstract The study aims to optimise surgical management for mandibular body fractures by application of finite element method (FEM) with verification from polymeric model tests. The study investigates two issues regarding the application of osteosynthesis plates for mandibular body fractures: the effect of miniplate positioning and mandibular body height decrease. Computed tomography (CT) images of cadaveric mandibles with heights of resp. 21, 15, and 10 mm were used to create a FEM-model with a unilateral straight-line fracture, fixated with a standard commercially available 6-hole 2 mm titanium miniplate. Outcomes were compared with a series of mechanical tests with polymeric models fixed in a customized device and loaded with a mechanical test bench. Firstly, the study illustrates that the optimal plate position appears to be the upper border. Secondly, lower mandibular height increases instability and requires a stronger fixation. Thirdly, optimal fracture reduction is essential for gaining stability. In conclusion, FEM and polymeric testing outcomes of unilateral non-comminuted fractures were highly comparable to the current opinions in mandibular fracture treatment. In future, the FEM may be used to predict the treatment of more complex fractures. However, more analysis needs to be conducted to say whether FEM alone is sufficient for fracture analysis.
