A 3D finite element model for charged hydrated soft tissue containing charged/uncharged solutes was developed based on the multi-phasic mechano-electrochemical mixture theory [1–2]. This model was applied to analyze the mechanical, chemical and electrical signals within the human intervertebral disc under mechanical loading. The effects of tissue composition and material property on the physical signals and the transport of fluid, ions and nutrients were investigated. This study is important for understanding disc biomechanics, disc nutrition and disc mechanobiology.

Premixed abrasive water jet abrasive tank has always been under static load in the course of their work, belonging to the pressure vessel. In view of the importance of the pressure vessel safety issues, the traditional design was conservative, and the shell is relatively thick and heavy. This paper uses simulation (finite element analysis module in solidworks)to do finite element analysis of the abrasive tank. In guarantee under the condition of its strength, reducing the shell weight of abrasive tank as much as possible can help to achieve the purpose of lightweight design and saving energy, reducing cost and price.

Today, manufacturing methods are classified into two groups as conventional and non- conventional manufacturing methods. While turning, milling, and drilling are among the conventional manufacturing methods, processes such as laser, plasma, electro erosion, ultrasonic machining and water jet machining are among non-conventional, namely modern manufacturing methods. The cutting tool does not used in modern manufacturing methods. This situation is an advantage. There are some uncertainties on the machining performance of abrasive types, apart from the superior properties of the method. In this study, the effect of different abrasive types on machining performance in abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) was investigated by using computer aided finite element analysis.
