This paper presents a comparative study of FEA with the Zick’s method of analysis for a two saddles-supported horizontal cylindrical tank. Zick’s method is an analytical method commonly used in horizontal vessel support design. We used two methods to calculate local stresses in selected areas with the findings that the results of these two methods produced very agreement. These results are used to verify the FEA for this application. We then used FEA to get more detailed information about stress distribution, which cannot be obtained using the Zick’s method. FEA was further used to study the buckling behavior of the object and to determine some critical parameters of the object, e.g., the vacuum ring weld size with consideration of both external and internal loads.

The material mismatch at the attachment of tendon to bone is amongst the most severe for any tensile connection in nature. This is related to the large difference between the stiffness of tendon and bone, whose moduli of elasticity vary by two orders of magnitude. Predictably, such an abrupt change in the stiffness realized over a very narrow insertion site results in high local stresses. One of the implications of the stress distribution is a potential for stress singularities at the junction of the insertion to the bone.

The competencies of four greenness assessment tools were tested. AGREE is the best greenness tool while NEMI is the poorest one. AGREE, GAPI, and ESA are reliable greenness tools.

Beryllium (Be) is susceptible to introduce stress because it is a brittle metal with a high elastic modular. The compact tension (CT) specimens of beryllium were designed to determinate stress and fracture behaviors. Stress distribution near notch in CT beryllium was measured by the combination of an X-ray stress analysis and a custom-designed load device. The results show that local stresses near notch tip are much higher than those on other area. Thus, stress concentration lead the CT specimens fracture along the notch direction. Residual stresses due to machining are remained. A finite element ( FE ) calculation on the same loaded geometry was made, and the result is agreement with the measured stress distribution near notch.

Golden Star Resources Limited conducts Bulk Leach Extractable Gold (BLEG) and Fire Assay methods on samples from its exploration program. Additionally, for mining control and as part of the sampling and analytical protocol, residues of samples whose assay values are greater than 10 g/t are subjected to fire assay to determine the quantity of gold. However, there is gold retained in the tails or residue after leaching and to verify the suitability and efficiency of the analytical method, drill samples (RC and DD) with control samples were analysed using BLEG method based on the accelerated cyanide leach extraction and Fire Assay method on the tails.Percentages of the prepared samples were subjected to BLEG orientation study to investigate the leachability and efficiency of the BLEG method on the ore samples. Fire Assay analysis was also carried out on the selected tailing samples to find out the assay reproducibility of the samples. The analytical analyses carried out on the samples revealed that the ore samples were leachable with gold recovery levels ranging between 96% and 100% when there is total pulverization of samples to make BLEG method possible and that this procedure is also cheaper than the conventional Fire Assay.
