The finite element method has here been used to determine stress concentration factors due to axial loading applied to axisymmetric, external projections on hollow tubes. A range of tube and projection dimensions have been covered by the investigation. There is good agreement between the present results and previously published data. The results are presented in a manner which allows stress concentration factors to be quickly determined, for any shape within the range covered by the investigation.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the stress concentration in stress fields around crossbores for closed-end thick-walled square blocks and cylindrical shells using the finite element method. These stress concentration factors are presented and discussed as a function of the ratio of crossbore radius to the cylinder internal radius (HR/Ri=0.01 to 0.7) for a range of wall ratios (Y=1.5 to 5). Charts and simple expressions are provided for ease of use.

This paper investigates the behaviour of square hollow section (SHS) T-joints under static axial tension for the determination of stress concentration factors (SCFs) at the hot spot locations. Five empty and corresponding concrete-filled SHS-SHS T-joint connections were tested experimentally and numerically. The experimental investigation was carried out by attaching strain gauges onto the SHS-SHS T-joint specimens. The numerical study was then conducted by developing three-dimensional finite element (FE) T-joint models using ABAQUS finite element analysis software for capturing the distribution of the SCFs at the hot spot locations. The results showed that there is a good agreement between the experimental and numerical SCFs. A series of formulae for the prediction of SCF in concrete-filled SHS T-joints under tension were proposed, and good agreement was achieved between the maximum SCFs in SHS T-joints calculated from FE T-joint models and those from the predicted formulae.

Results on the plastic collapse behaviour of an axisymmetric rotating shell, obtained by Limit Analysis and the Finite Element Method, are in good agreement with experimental data. The Finite Element Method, though computationally rather costly, permits, however, a more complete analysis of elasto-plastic behaviour. For the present case, the Limit Analysis has the advantage of greater computational simplicity and leads to a quite satisfactory forecast of collapse speed from the engineering point of view.

Focus on stress concentration and high stress area, four improvements were put forward through analyzed a hydraulic excavator's boom with the finite element method under the bucket digging condition. Compared the stress distribution graph, the results show that these schemes can improve the stress concentration phenomenon and the high stress distribution areas. The practices demonstrated the effectiveness to reduce the invalidation rate of hydraulic excavator's boom.

There is a large number of underground tunnels of various shapes located in seismic zones that need to be protected from seismic impacts. The paper considers the effect of harmonic surface waves on a cylindrical inclusion of various shapes located in a viscoelastic half-plane. The main purpose of the study is to determine the stress-strain state of the obstacle when exposed to harmonic waves. The problem is solved by the finite element method. It was found that the maximum stress concentration is allowed at long waves, and the stress concentration with increasing depth and wavelength approaches the static value of stress. The reliability of the obtained research results is confirmed by good agreement with theoretical and experimental results obtained by other authors.

The electrical effects can be written by two magnitudes the field and the electrostatic potential, for the determination of the distribution of the field and the electric potential along the leakage distance of the polluted insulator, the comsol multiphysics software based on the finite element method will be used. The objective of this paper is the modeling electric field and potential distribution in Two Dimensions by the Finite Element Method on a model of insulator simulating the 1512L outdoor insulator used by the Algerian company of electricity and gas (SONELGAZ). This model is under different conductivity, applied voltage, position of clean layer and width of clean layer. The computer simulations are carried out by using the COMSOL multiphysics software. This paper describes how Comsol Multiphysics have been used for modeling of the insulator using electrostatic 2D simulations in the AC/DC module. Numerical results showed a good agreement.
