The Ferry Ro-Ro 5000GT has three levels of car deck that are connected by internal ramps. Two issues that have to be paid attention during the operation of the internal ramp there are the strength capacity and the design fatigue life of the internal ramp structure. The purpose of the research is to determine the strength and fatigue life of the internal ramp construction. The method used the Finite Element Method using a static load by load case of point load at top girder and between girders. Results of the research detected the maximum stress value is in the load case of the point load (three sedan car) at between of the girder is 52.143 MPa with the fatigue life is 44.47 years with the load cycle is 7300000 cycle while the minimum stress value detected at the load case of the point load (two sedan cars) at top girder is 34.199 MPa with the fatigue life is 195.92 years with the load cycle is 50000000 cycle. For the safety factor, ramp construction 6.08 ~ 10.38. The safety factor value above is still in safe condition because the value is SF > 1.

Ro - Ro Ferry is equipped with a connecting door between the port and the ship. The ramp door experiences load during loading and discharging of the rolling cargo. This repetitive load may cause fatigue failure. The structure of the ramp door should withstand this load. Therefore, The ramp door should be properly designed to ensure the structural integrity of the ramp door. The purpose of this research is to analyze the maximum stress and the Fatigue life of the bow ramp door. The method used is the finite element method. The given loads are several types of vehicles that are commonly transported by the ship. The given load case is the point load working at the girder plate and between the girder plate. Based on the simulation results with the given point load, the maximum stress is identified located between the girder for the large truck case with 397.02 MPa, while the minimum stress located at the girder for sedan car with 43.93 MPa. As for the fatigue life of the bow ramp door construction. it is 1.17 ~ 398.64 years, and the load cycle is 5.35 x 104 ~ 9.05 x 106 cycle.

Cold expansion technology is an extended method used in aeronautics to increase fatigue life of holes and hence extending inspection intervals. During the cold expansion process, a mechanical mandrel is forced to pass along the hole generating compressive residual hoop stresses. The most widely accepted geometry for this mandrel is the tapered one and simpler options like balls have generally been rejected based on the non-conforming residual hoop stresses derived from their use. In this investigation a novelty process using multiple balls with incremental interference, instead of a single one, was simulated. Experimental tests were performed to validate the finite element method (FEM) models and residual hoop stresses from multiple balls simulation were compared with one ball and tapered mandrel simulations. Results showed that the use of three incremental balls significantly reduced the magnitude of non-conforming residual hoop stresses and the extension of these detrimental zone.

We proposed a method to estimate a distribution of fatigue life of solid state drives (SSDs) due to thermal cycling excitation by using finite element method and Monte Carlo simulation. In the developed finite element model, we utilized the Anand model to represent the viscoplastic behavior of the solder balls, and we also utilized the Prony series to represent the viscoelastic behavior of the polymer material in underfill. We determined a fatigue life of the SSD by using the Morrow’s energy-based fatigue model. Finally, we determined a distribution of fatigue life considering the manufacturing tolerance of the design variables and the variation of material properties in the Monte Carlo simulation. Finite element analysis shows that the outermost solder ball at the corner of dynamic random access memory was the most vulnerable component under the thermal cycling excitation. We also show that temperature profile and diameter of solder ball affect dominantly the fatigue life of the SSD.

In view of the deficiency of traditional saturated soil theory analyzing seepage and stability of slope under rainfall infiltration, based on the saturated-unsaturated flow theory, considering the mechanical behavior of slope which strongly coupled with flow behavior, the hydraulic-mechanical coupled finite element method on the case of rainfall induced instability in deposit body in Front of gushui Dam are used. The safety factor is calculated based on stress field obtained from the finite element method, with modified unsaturated Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion. The influences of rainfall duration and rainfall intensity to stability of deposit body are analyzed; the difference between calculated safety factor based on unsaturated flow theory and saturated flow theory is discussed.
