In this paper, the authors propose a set of analyses on the deployment of coronary stents by using a nonlinear finite element method. The goal is to propose a convergence test able to select the appropriate mesh dimension and a methodology to perform the simplification of structures composed of cyclically repeated units to reduce the number of degrees of freedom and the analysis run time. A systematic study, based on the analysis of seven meshes for each model, was performed, gradually reducing the element dimension. In addition, geometric models were simplified considering symmetries; adequate boundary conditions were applied and verified based on the results obtained from the analysis of the whole model.

The software ABAQUS is used to perform the finite element simulation of a group of reinforced concrete beam tests. The load-displacement skeleton curves of the beams are obtained after the completion of the simulation. Test results and simulation results are compared, results showed that the finite element simulation can be more accurately simulate the test situation. Then, the software ABAQUS is also used to simulate different types of reinforced concrete frame beams, and access to load-displacement skeleton curves and moment – rotation curves of the beams. Reference to the advanced performance-based design method, the curve classified according to different factors. The performance parameters of beams are obtained from the curves. Performance parameters can provide quantitative reference index for performance evaluation of beam.

For the difficulty of calculating the size of the Pre-Manufactured hole of flanging, the formula was derived by using the theory of equal line length and the theory of equal area. And the formula was verified by finite element simulation. Due to theoretical formula has certain error, the optimal design method based on interpolation was put forward and optimization design the size of the Pre-Manufactured hole of flanging. Engineering example shows that this optimization design method is accuracy and convergence speed, and it can quickly calculate the the size of the Pre-Manufactured hole of flanging.

Chassis strength and durability of local buses has been successively developed as many large automobiles due to reason for safe passenger transportation. This paper describes design method and strength analysis of chassis structure for double deck bus. C-beam and L-beam are created and assembled as for chassis frame structure by using CAD software. Finite element simulation is employed to evaluate total deformation and strength of designed bus chassis structure according to reliable safety factor from engineering design principle. Loading condition for simulation includes fully applied bending forces that are defined as heavy weight exerted on member joints. Finite element simulation result reveals that the fracture stress is not over than yield stress of the material. Safety factor is 2.16, which is the acceptable value under defined safety standard from department of land transport.
