Axially heavy-loaded screw pairs are widely used in rolling mill press systems and other heavy equipment. During the working process, the nut is pressed at both ends, which causes equivalent stress at the thread roots in a U-shaped distribution along the height. Thread roots at the ends tend to suffer fracture failure when the equivalent stress is too great. In this article, the finite element software ANSYS is used to establish a 3D model of screw pairs and analyse bearing characteristics. A new structure based on the results of finite element analysis, which improves U-shaped stress distribution, is proposed for the axially uniform-loaded nut, with a different strain–displacement relationship between the nut matrix and the thread teeth. Such a relationship can greatly reduce peak stress at the thread roots of the nut on both ends. Experiments are conducted on the nut using the electrometric method. Results are compared with the finite element results to directly verify the reliability of the finite element model of ordinary screw pairs and indirectly verify the reliability of the structural model of new screw pairs.

In this article the finite element software was used to analyse the values for compressive strength of X-cor sandwich. During the analysis, the failure criteria and materials stiffness degradation rules of failure mechanisms were proposed. The failure processes and failure modes were also clarified. In the finite element model we used the distributions of failure elements to simulate the failure processes. Meanwhile the failure mechanisms of X-cor sandwich were explained. The finite element analysis indicates that the resin regions of Z-pin tips fail firstly and the Z-pins fail secondly. The dominant failure mode is the Z-pin elastic buckling and the propagation paths of failure elements are dispersive. Through contrast the finite element values and test results are consistent well and the error range is -7.6%~9.5%. Therefore the failure criteria and stiffness degradation rules are reasonable and the model can be used to predict the compressive strength of X-cor sandwich.

The Finite Element Model

The CAD software was used to establish 3D model of frame of dump truck, and the finite element model was established through Hyper Mesh. The stress distributions of the frame in vertical accelerating, turning, twisting and climbing conditions were computed through finite element software when the dump truck was loaded 80t. The result is consistent with the actual situation of the frame, which proved that the approach of finite element analysis is feasible. And we proposed the improved method of the frame according to finite element results.

Modeling Process

In this paper, in order to understand fully the development of failure mechanism, bearing capacity and seismic performance of the steel H-beams and composite concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) column joints strengthened by outside strengthening ring, in the space zone the effects of changing the axial compression ratio is investigated. A 3D joint finite element model is built up by finite element software ABAQUS, the elastic-plastic finite element analysis is carried through numerical modeling process. The analysis results showed that low axial compression ratio has a little influence on the bearing capacity; with the increase of axial pressure the bearing capacity will decrease in a high axial compression ratio, moreover the failure pattern of joint changes from beam end to column end. The ductility of the specimens is decreased by raising axial compression ratio.

The All-on-4 design was used successfully for restoring edentulous mandible. This design avoids anatomic cripples such as inferior alveolar nerve by tilting posterior implants. Moreover, tilting posterior implants of All-on-4 design had a mechanical preference than the conventional design. On the other hand, the anterior implants are parallel at the lateral incisor region. Several researches showed favorable results for tilting posterior implants. However, research did not study the influence of the anterior implant position or orientation on the mechanical aspects of this design. This study analyzes the influence of varying anterior implant position and orientation of the All-on-4 design using nonlinear contact 3D finite-element analysis. Three copied 3-dimensional models of the All-on-4 design were classified according to anterior implant position and orientation. The frictional contact between fixtures and bone was the contact type in this finite element analysis. Finally, von Mises stress and strain at implant and bone levels were recorded and analyzed using finite element software. Stress concentrations were detected mainly around the posterior implant at the loaded side. Values of the maximum equivalent stress and strain were around tilted implants of design III followed by design II, then design I. Changing the position or orientation of the anterior implants in All-on-4 design influences stress-strain distribution of the whole design.

Strain clamp is an important connection device in guy tower. If the quality of the compression splicing position is unsatisfied, strain clamp tends to be damaged which may lead to the final collapse of a guy tower as well as huge economic lost. In this paper, stress distribution on the compressible tube and guy cable is analyzed by FEM, and a large equivalent stress of guy cable is applied to the compression splicing position. During this process, a finite element model of strain clamp is established for guy cables at compression splicing position, problems of elastic-plastic and contracting are studied and the whole compressing process of compressible position is simulated. The guy cable cracks easily at the position of compressible tube’s port, the inner part of the compressible tube has a larger equivalent stress than outside.

Universal Spindle

For the problem of balance bearing of universal spindle in rolling mill being prone to damage, the paper established mechanical model and finite element model of universal spindle. The paper has analyzed that the shear and bending moment in the middle of the shaft is the largest. The fillet near shoulder of balance bearing of the spindle is dangerous part. In order to reduce principal stress of universal spindle caused by moment, the paper improved balance mode of the spindle. The equilibrant was applied from in one place of shaft to put in two places. After optimizing, equivalent stress of the spindle is slight smaller than before under the same loading condition, which illustrates that the strength of the spindle is appropriately improved. Although the effect is not obvious, this has played a guiding role for the optimization of balance mode of universal spindle.
