An experimental study on material characterization of SMC (Sheet Molding Compounds) compression molded parts was carried out by 3-point bending tests and creep tests. And computer simulation of optimum condition of SMC design was carried out by finite element analysis. The thicknesses of SMC specimen were 6.5, 7, 7.5 and 8mm and the angles of inclination were 0°, 2.5°, 5°, 7.5° and 10°. After static load test, the stress of SMC was different at the each condition. The influence of angles of inclination was important. The maximum stress occurred at 0°. But the more angle of inclination was big, the more maximum stress was small. The decrement was big at the range of 0° to 2.5°. The influence of thicknesses also was important. The more thickness was large, the more maximum stress was small.

In order to study the basic mechanical property of cast-in-place stiffening-ribbed-hollow-pipe reinforced concrete girderless floor, and similarities and differences of the structural performance compared with traditional floor, we carried out the destructive stage loading test on the short-term load test of floor model with four clamped edges supported in large scale, and conducted the long-term static load test. Also, the thesis conducted finite element analysis in virtue of ANSYS software for solid slab floor, stiffening-ribbed-hollow-pipe floor and tubular floor. The experiment indicates that the developing process of cracks, distribution and failure mode in stiffening-ribbed-hollow-pipe floor are similar to that of solid girderless floor, and that this kind of floor has higher bearing capacity and better plastic deformation capacity. The finite element analysis manifests that, compared with solid slab floor, the deadweight of stiffening-ribbed-hollow-pipe floor decreases on greater level while deformation increases little, and that compared with tubular floor, this floor has higher rigidity. So stiffening-ribbed-hollow-pipe reinforced concrete girderless floor is particularly suitable for long-span and large-bay building structure.

Abstract In order to realize the directional and controllable splitting of splitting grouting, the field grouting test was carried out. Using a new grouting pipe designed, the splitting direction and size of the branch vein are effectively controlled through the control of grouting pressure and grouting amount. In order to explore the bearing characteristics of split grouting pile and provide necessary parameters for the design of split grouting pile composite foundation in engineering practice, the field static load test and indoor geotechnical test of split grouting pile are designed, and the ultimate bearing capacity of single pile and necessary soil parameters are obtained. In order to make up for the limitations of field static load test, the three-dimensional finite element model of pile, soil and branch vein of split grouting pile is established by using the finite element analysis software ABAQUS. The finite element analysis results are compared with the measured values of field test, and the variation laws of pile shaft axial force, stress and displacement of branch vein at different depths, pile side friction, etc. are further explored, Through these changes, the interaction and load transfer mechanism between pile and soil are analyzed, which provides a reference for optimal design.

The study obtains a methodology for the bionic design of the tower for wind turbines. To verify the rationality of the biological selection, the Analytic Hierarchy Procedure (AHP) is applied to calculate the similarity between the bamboo and the tower. Creatively, a bionic bamboo tower (BBT) is presented, which is equipped with four reinforcement ribs and five flanges. Further, finite element analysis is employed to comparatively investigate the performance of the BBT and the original tower (OT) in the static and dynamic. Through the investigation, it is suggested that the maximum deformation and maximum stress can be reduced by 5.93 and 13.75% of the BBT. Moreover, this approach results in 3% and 1.1% increase respectively in the First two natural frequencies and overall stability.

The elastic thermal stresses in a welded transition between two pipes of the same size but different alloys are explored. A stress-free temperature is postulated and the stress due to a uniform change in temperature is characterized by the maximum stress intensity in the weld. A simple expression for predicting this maximum stress intensity is developed based on the results of finite element analysis.

Abstract This study was carried out in two stages. In the first step, a numerical study was performed to verify the previous experimental study. In accordance with the previous experimental study data, single lap joints models were created using the ANSYS finite element analysis program. Then, nonlinear stress and failure analyses were performed by applying the failure loads obtained in the experimental study. The maximum stress theory was used to find finite element failure loads of the single lap joints models. As a result of the finite element analysis, an approximate 80 % agreement was found between experimental and numerical results. In the second step of the study, in order to increase the bond strength, different overlap end geometry models were produced and peel and shear stresses in the adhesive layer were compared according to the reference model. As a result of the analyses, significant strength increases were calculated according to the reference model. The strength increase in model 3 and model 5 was found to be 80 % and 67 %, respectively, relative to the reference model.

Millions in the world suffering diabetes mellitus depends on insulin therapy to control their blood glucose level daily. However, the painful daily injections they need to take could lead to other complications if it is not done correctly. To date, it is suggested by many researchers and medical doctors that the needles should be inserted at any angles of 90º or 45º. Nevertheless, this recommendation has not been supported by clinical or biomechanical evaluation. Hence, this study evaluates the needle insertion for insulin therapy to find the favourable angles in order to reduce injury and pain onto the skin. Finite element analysis was done by  simulating the injection of three-dimensional (3D) needle model into a 3D skin model. The insertions were simulated at two different angles, which are 45ºand 90º with two different lengths of needles; 4 mm and 6 mm. This study concluded the favourable angle for 4 mm needle to be 90º while 6 mm needle was best to be inserted at 45º as these angles exerted the least maximum stress and strain onto the skin.
