Abstract One short review on the preferable concept in Structural Analysis education by use of finite element method (FEM) software is given. It is generally accepted that good “educationally aided” FEM software includes a pre-processor with intuitive graphically user interface that enable simple and efficient geometrical modelling of structural topology, powerful solverprocessor with sophisticated numerical modelling possibilities, post-processor with various types of analysis results presentation, as well as benefit of fast, easy training and satisfaction of use. Hungarian software company “InterCAD” developed FEM software AxsVM® that satisfies mentioned conditions and much more performances in professional and scientific area. Therefore AxisVM® is embedded in a curriculum of subject “FEM Modelling in Structural Analysis” on Department of Civil Engineering and Geodesy, Faculty of Technical Sciences, University in Novi Sad, Serbia.

The paper deals with a construction design and structural analysis of the rack system which will be used for storage of steel tubes of pressure pipeline for fodder mixtures transportation in agricultural company. Structure of the designed equipment is made by the welding of steel parts and consists of the main framework and four pull-out racks on both sides. Racks move by means of human power through a rotating crank. Every individual pull-out racks is able to carries pipes of various dimensions, both length and diameter with total weight up to 3 tons with respect to customer requests. Since it is a prototype’s structure, we have designed main dimensions of it, material and technology for production and performed also structural analyses as the integral part of every engineering design. Structural analyses were conducted by means of numeric procedure known as finite element method. With respect to the used steel profiles shell elements were used for FE model. Analyses were performed for maximal loading cases in order to identify the level of safety in the most exposed locations of the structure.

Element Elimination

An approach for simulation of rock fracturing as a result of engineering blasting is presented in this paper. The approach uses element elimination technique within the framework of finite element method to capture the physics of engineering blasting. The approach does not require pre-placement of fracture paths which is the severe drawback of the other existing methodologies and approaches. Results of plane stress modelling for isotropic brittle rock behaviour are presented in this paper and these results are in good agreement with the existing knowledge base. The authors also review the existing approaches of numerical modelling to compare the efficacy of the element elimination technique. It is anticipated that the further developments with this approach can prove to be good experimental tool to improve engineering blasting operations.
