Currently, fiber-reinforced magnesium phosphate cement-based nanocomposites are being used in various projects. The unique physical properties of this material allow it to bear the load together with the material in the inherent structure, and it will be better used in the field of bridge structure repair and reinforcement. The purpose of this article is to study the application of fiber-reinforced magnesium phosphate cement-based nanocomposites in the field of bridge structure repair and reinforcement. Through the use of finite element analysis software and various stress sensor materials, the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced magnesium phosphate cement-based nanocomposites are used to analyze the mechanical properties of damaged bridges in our area after reinforcement treatment and establish a control group (using magnesium phosphate cement-based nanocomposite materials) for comparative experiments. The reinforcement effect of the bridge repair structure under different ballast conditions is studied. Studies have shown that fiber-reinforced magnesium phosphate cement-based nanocomposites can provide excellent reinforcement for damaged bridge structures. Compared to the control group, the strength and stiffness of the repaired structure were significantly improved, the strength increased by 15.7%, and the stiffness increased by 12%. The carrying capacity has also been improved compared to the previous one, from the original 120 t to 150 t.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to confirm that the stiffness of fused filament fabrication (FFF) three-dimensionally (3D) printed fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (FRP) materials can be predicted using classical laminate theory (CLT), and to subsequently use the model to demonstrate its potential to improve the mechanical properties of FFF 3D printed parts intended for load-bearing applications. Design/methodology/approach The porosity and the fiber orientation in specimens printed with carbon fiber reinforced filament were calculated from micro-computed tomography (µCT) images. The infill portion of the sample was modeled using CLT, while the perimeter contour portion was modeled with a rule of mixtures (ROM) approach. Findings The µCT scan images showed that a low porosity of 0.7 ± 0.1% was achieved, and the fibers were highly oriented in the filament extrusion direction. CLT and ROM were effective analytical models to predict the elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio of FFF 3D printed FRP laminates. Research limitations/implications In this study, the CLT model was only used to predict the properties of flat plates. Once the in-plane properties are known, however, they can be used in a finite element analysis to predict the behavior of plate and shell structures. Practical implications By controlling the raster orientation, the mechanical properties of a FFF part can be optimized for the intended application. Originality/value Before this study, CLT had not been validated for FFF 3D printed FRPs. CLT can be used to help designers tailor the raster pattern of each layer for specific stiffness requirements.

In this paper, iron ladle stress and deformation has been accurately calculated using finite element analysis software ANSYS based on 260t iron ladle in standing, lifting, tipping working conditions. Distribution of stress field was obtained. The stiffness and strength of the iron ladle has been evaluated. The results show that the iron ladle in the standing, lifting and tipping working conditions, structural deformation is small, the strength and stiffness meet the requirements. This research extends the working life of 260t iron ladle. It provides theoretical basis for producing and using of the iron ladle and further optimal designing.

There are many instances where creating finite element analysis (FEA) requires extensive time and effort. Such instances include finite element analysis of tree branches with complex geometries and varying mechanical properties. In this paper, we discuss the development of Immediate-TREE, a program and its associated Guided User Interface (GUI) that provides researchers a fast and efficient finite elemental analysis of tree branches. This process was discussed in which finite element analysis were automated with the use of computer generated Python files. Immediate-TREE uses tree branch’s data (geometry, mechanical properties and etc.) provided through experiment and generates Python files, which were then run in finite element analysis software (Abaqus) to complete the analysis. Immediate-TREE is approximately 240 times faster than creating the model directly in the FEA software (Abaqus). The process used to develop Immediate-TREE can be applied to other finite element analysis of biological systems such as bone and tooth.

Railways provide a long and continuous journey for passengers and goods at an affordable cost. The rails and rail joints should be of high quality to ensure a safer transportation of people and goods. The tracks (rail) are made of alloys of iron and are fastened to other rails using fasteners. Nowadays, these fasteners are replaced with welded joints because of rising maintenance issues. Thermite welding is a globally adopted process for welding the rails. This article aims to best utilise the Aluminium composites for the welding of rails. The composites were prepared using stir casting route and a wear test was done on the casted samples to test their durability. Also, some of the mechanical properties of the composite material were found. The rail and track models were made and imported into ANSYS Finite Element Analysis software. The predicted results show that aluminium composites have considerable strength when compared to any other composite material.

Residual stress affect the lifetime of weldments directly. Temperature Generated from the welding process is the major reason that influences the microstructure and mechanical properties of the metal weldments. Therefore it is necessary to simulate the temperature field for optimizing the structure of weldments. In this work the three-dimension finite element analysis software SYSWELS was used to simulate T-type tube, and carried on a detailed analysis of temperature field and residual stress in cool process of weld.
