Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis of Antisymmetric Four-Point Shear Specimen

In this paper, the four-point shear (FPS) specimen is studied for different combinations of crack depth (a/W) and specimen thickness (t/W) to width ratios. Extensive 3D finite element analysis (FEA) has been carried out, and comprehensive solutions of fracture parameters produced. From the results of the finite element analysis, the size of the plastic zone is studied at various points through-thickness. Through these analyses, the effects of considering finite-thickness specimens are illustrated.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.

The three-dimensional finite element analysis was performed to determine an optimum die design and the corresponding sheet-blank shape for stamping a part of motorcycle oil tank. To save the computation time, an equivalent drawbead model was adopted to replace the actual drawbead shape in the finite element simulations. The forming limit diagram constructed from stretching tests was also used in conjunction with the finite element results to predict the occurrence of fracture. The optimum die design and the corresponding sheet-blank shape obtained from the finite element analysis was validated by the achievement of defect-free production panels. The advantage of using the finite element analysis for the stamping die design was thereby confirmed.

In the present work, the finite element analysis was employed to study the distribution and level of thermal residual stress generated in matrix reinforced with SO2 nanoparticles. Using Cohesive Element as the bonding of the interface between fiber and matrix, three–dimensional finite element models of periodic cells were established. The results of the models with and without nanoparticles were compared. The residual thermal stressdue to the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficients between matrix and fibers, especially theshear stress in the interface, decreased with nanoparticles, which could explain the reinforcing mechanism of nanoparticles. Our numerical study can be of great significance in designing new composites with high performance
