We have developed a piezoelectric braided cord consisting of a conducting fiber yarn core, piezoelectric poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) fiber yarn and a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) middle sheath, and a conducting fiber outer shield (piezoelectric PLLA braided cord). Actually, we made various types of piezoelectric PLLA braided cords using Japanese traditional braiding method called as Kumihimo-gumi in Japanese. Furthermore, by optimization based on the calculation results for each type of piezoelectric PLLA Kumihimo-gumi obtained by the finite element method (FEM), we were able to develop a new type of piezoelectric PLLA braided cord with a sensing function for complex motion (piezoelectric PLLA Kumihimo-gumi). Finally, we developed a new wearable sensor for a selfie stick which is a popular smartphone accessory, fabricated from a piezoelectric PLLA Kumihimo-gumi.

the article presents the principles and algorithms of the finite element method in solving geotechnical prob-lems taking into account seismic impacts for determining the stress-strain state of structures and slope stabil-ity, implemented in the Midas GTS NX software package. GTS NX allows you to perform calculations of various types of geotechnical problems and solve complex geotechnical problems in a single software envi-ronment. GTS NX covers the entire range of engineering and geotechnical projects, including calculations of the "base-structure" system, deep pits with various mounting options, tunnels of complex shape, consolida-tion and filtration calculations, as well as calculations for dynamic actions and stability calculations. At the same time, all types of calculations in GTS NX can be performed both in 2D and in 3D. The author does not claim to be the author of the finite element method, but he cannot do without pointing out the basic equa-tions, as this affects the definition of the boundaries of use, the formulation of algorithms for constructing calculation schemes and the analysis of calculation results.

Element Method

Pipeline on-bottom stability is one of the sophisticated problems in subsea pipeline design procedure. Due to the uncertainty of the pipe-soil interaction and environment loads, including wave, current, or earthquake, etc., it is classified as the typical nonlinear problem. The Finite Element Method is introduced into pipeline engineering several years ago. More and more special engineering software such as AGA, PONDUS are available in market. However, when doing a project, some abnormal data was found when compared the DnV calculation results and AGA. In order to know the behavior of pipeline on seabed under wave and current load, finite element method – ABAQUS is introduced to do this analysis. The ABAQUS/explicit is used to simulate 600s pipeline dynamic response. The pipeline is supposed to be exposed on seabed and the selected seabed model is large enough to avoid the edge effect. ABAQUS calculation results are compared with the requirements in DnV rules to verify the validity of finite element model.

The research paper focuses on internal forces determination in the elements of modular buildings under wind load. It provides a methodology for determining dynamic characteristics of a building and for calculating wind loads. This method is based on the following assumptions: coupling of the modules elements is rigid; coupling of block-modules with foundations is hinged-fixed; connection of blocks to each other is hinged in angular points; the floor disk in its plane is not deformed. On the basis of these assumptions the authors derived approximate and refined equations for determining forces in modules elements under static and pulsation components of wind load. The equation of bending moments determination in the pillar bearing cross-section is obtained by approximation of the graph of moments variation, calculated for the spectrum of the ratio of the pillar stiffness and the floor beam in the range from 1/64 to 64. The paper further introduces the calculation results of forces based on the proposed methodology and on the finite element method. The calculations were done while taking different values of wind load and different number of storeys in a building (from 1 to 4 floors). The obtained results are similar, the error does not exceed 5%.

This paper investigates the mechanical properties of a new type of hollow sphere structure. For this new type, the sphere shell is perforated by several holes in order to open up the inner sphere volume and surface. The mechanical behaviour of perforated sphere structures under large deformations and strains in a primitive cubic arrangement is numerically evaluated by using the finite element method for different hole diameters and different joining techniques.

Flange is the key part of the large vacuum container and its stiffness property affects the sealing effect and the stability of the container. Large flange welding process will have a greater impact on its structural strength. In view of the traditional way of forming large vacuum container flange has problems that processing and manufacturing are difficult, more material consumption, and poor stiffness, a new type of flange structure was support. The new design has hollow structure and the welding process of cover flange was simulated through the finite element method. After that, the stress and the deformation were analyzed and then the proper welding scheme was optimized.

In this study, the structural analysis of the blade assemblies was carried out using the finite element method to determine the influence of design parameters of shroud couplings on the static stresses of turbine rotor blades with zigzag and slant shroud couplings. An angle of inclination of the shroud contact surfaces with respect to the rotor rotation axis was selected as the design parameter. Based on the calculation results, it has been found that irrespective of the type of the shroud coupling, the values of the contact pressure and the stresses in the shroud increase with the angle of inclination of the contact surfaces. Also, for the slant shroud coupling, the stresses increase in the blade airfoil portion with the increase of angle of inclination of the contact surfaces, while for the zigzag shroud coupling the contact stresses decrease with the increase of this angle. It was concluded that the zigzag shroud coupling causes the increase in static stresses when compared to the slant one.

This article presents the results of finite element analyses of the influence of reaction forces on stresses and strains at the contact points of the rollers of prism supports with cylindrical surfaces of the main journals of large-sized crankshafts. The analyses of strains and stresses, as well as the depth of their occurrences, in the case of the shaft journal and support rollers were carried out using Hertz contact theory and the finite element method. These calculation results proved to be highly consistent. Additionally, they provide a basis for stating that, in the case under consideration, permanent deformations do not significantly affect the values of the measured geometrical deviations nor the profile forms of the supported main crankshaft journals.
