The research conducts the numerical analysis of the fatigue performance of precracked concrete beams strengthened with prestressed CFRP, establishing the static analysis model (SM) and fatigue analysis model (FM) respectively, examining the change of the static loading and fatigue performance before and after CFRP strengthens precracked concrete beams in the different prestressed situations, and analyzing the relevant fatigue performance parameters through comparing FEM analysis with experimental results. The research results demonstrate that the method of strengthening concrete beams with prestressed CFRP can improve the static loading and fatigue performance; the increased rate of fatigue performance of precracked concrete beams is parallel to the CFRP prestress; the fatigue life of precracked concrete beams increases with the raising of the CFRP prestress; FEM analysis is in close agreement with experiment results; the fatigue properties of precracked concrete beams strengthened with prestressed CFRP can be analyzed effectively by the finite element method.

Directivity Characteristics

We propose a model to give us a method to investigate the characteristic three-dimensional directivity in an arbitrarily configured flexible electret-based loudspeaker. In recent years, novel electret loudspeakers have attracted much interest due to their being lightweight, paper thin, and possessing excellent mid- to high-frequency responses. Increasing or decreasing the directivity of an electret loudspeaker makes it excellent for adoption to many applications, especially for directing sound to a particular area or specific audio location. Herein, we detail a novel electret loudspeaker that possesses various directivities and is based on various structures of spacers instead of having to use multichannel amplifiers and a complicated digital control system. In order to study the directivity of an electret loudspeaker based on an array structure which can be adopted for various applications, the horizontal and vertical polar directivity characteristics as a function of frequency were simulated by a finite-element analysis model. To validate the finite-element analysis model, the beam pattern of the electret loudspeaker was measured in an anechoic room. Both the simulated and experimental results are detailed in this article to validate the various assertions related to the directivity of electret cell-based smart speakers.

The main objective of this research is to establish a connection between orthodontic mini-implant design, pull-out force and primary stability by comparing two commercial mini-implants or temporary anchorage devices, Tomas®-pin and Perfect Anchor. Mini-implant geometric analysis and quantification of bone characteristics are performed, whereupon experimental in vitro pull-out test is conducted. With the use of the CATIA (Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application) CAD (Computer Aided Design)/CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing)/CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) system, 3D (Three-dimensional) geometric models of mini-implants and bone segments are created. Afterwards, those same models are imported into Abaqus software, where finite element models are generated with a special focus on material properties, boundary conditions and interactions. FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis is used to simulate the pull-out test. Then, the results of the structural analysis are compared with the experimental results. The FEM analysis results contain information about maximum stresses on implant–bone system caused due to the pull-out force. It is determined that the core diameter of a screw thread and conicity are the main factors of the mini-implant design that have a direct impact on primary stability. Additionally, stresses generated on the Tomas®-pin model are lower than stresses on Perfect Anchor, even though Tomas®-pin endures greater pull-out forces, the implant system with implemented Tomas®-pin still represents a more stressed system due to the uniform distribution of stresses with bigger values.

As an effective way of passive damping, isolation technology has been widely used in all types of building structures. Currently, for its theoretical analysis, it usually follows the rigid foundation assumption and ignores soil-structure interaction, which results in calculation results distortion in conducting seismic response analysis. In this paper, three-dimensional finite element method is used to establish finite element analysis model of large chassis single-tower base isolation structure which considers and do not consider soil-structure interaction. The calculation results show that: after considering soil-structure interaction, the dynamic characteristics of the isolation structure, and seismic response are subject to varying degrees of impact.

AbstractWith modern-day technical advances, high sagittal oblique osteotomy (HSOO) of the mandible was recently described as an alternative to bilateral sagittal split osteotomy for the correction of mandibular skeletal deformities. However, neither in vitro nor numerical biomechanical assessments have evaluated the performance of fixation methods in HSOO. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical characteristics and stress distribution in bone and osteosynthesis fixations when using different designs and placing configurations, in order to determine a favourable plating method. We established two finite element models of HSOO with advancement (T1) and set-back (T2) movements of the mandible. Six different configurations of fixation of the ramus, progressively loaded by a constant force, were assessed for each model. The von Mises stress distribution in fixations and in bone, and bony segment displacement, were analysed. The lowest mechanical stresses and minimal gradient of displacement between the proximal and distal bony segments were detected in the combined one-third anterior- and posterior-positioned double mini-plate T1 and T2 models. This suggests that the appropriate method to correct mandibular deformities in HSOO surgery is with use of double mini-plates positioned in the anterior one-third and posterior one-third between the bony segments of the ramus.

Brake friction lining material is the critical element of a braking system, since it provides friction resistance to the rotating drum for controlling automobiles. The present study involves wear analysis of newly developed eco-friendly non-asbestos friction lining material for automotive drum brake applications using experimental study, finite-element analysis, and microstructural investigations. Theoretical interpretation of braking force at different automobile speeds was derived using fundamentals. Specimen drum brake liner with eco-friendly material compositions was produced using an industrial hot compression molding process at one of the manufacturer. The surface wear of the liner was measured using an effective and accurate method. Furthermore, a finite-element analysis model was developed considering actual operating conditions and various components of the drum brake system. The model was elaborated for various result outcomes, including Von-Mises stresses and total deformation of components of the drum brake, and further used to estimate the surface wear of the friction lining material in terms of transverse directional deformation. Finally, microstructural analysis of the friction lining material was carried out using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. From the results, it is seen that the developed friction lining material is wear resistant. The finite-element analysis model can be effectively utilized to study the tribological characteristics of friction lining materials.

Abstract A finite element analysis model was developed to predict flexural behavior of thick composites with uniform, graded and localized fiber waviness. In the analyses, material and geometrical nonlinearties due to fiber waviness were incorporated into the model utilizing energy density and an incremental method. In the model, two kinds of geometrical nonlinearity were considered, one due to reorientation of fibers and the other due to difference of curvatures from one finite element to another during deformation. The finite element analyses utilize the iterative mapping method to incorporate these geometrical nonlinear factors. The model was used to predict not only the flexural behavior of a flat thick composite plate but also of a thick composite plate with initial curvature. Flat composite specimens with various degrees of fiber waviness were fabricated and four-point flexural tests were conducted. The predicted nonlinear behavior by the current model was compared with results from the thin slice model [7] and experiments. Good agreement was observed among them.
