Abstract In order to effectively guide the selection of scaffold in designing the cantilever scaffold, comprehensive analyses of three typical scaffold supporting systems (including fully cantilever, bottom-supporting cantilever and pull-up cantilever) are carried out. The calculation formulas of the internal force for the three scaffold supporting systems are proposed based on the theoretical analysis, which are effectively verified by the finite element method (FEM). In addition, the force mechanism and benefits of the three scaffold supporting systems are compared and analyzed combined with actual engineering. The results indicate that there is high calculating accuracy for the proposed internal force and deflection calculation formulas about the scaffold supporting systems. According to the distribution uniformity of the internal force and controlling of the deformation of the main girder, the bottom-supporting cantilever system is undoubtedly the best choice. While the pull-up cantilever supporting system is the best choice when considering the aspects of cost, construction period and social benefits, which ought to be popularized in engineering practice.

Both the scientific experience and the engineering practice indicate that the decision making processes in the course of solving complex designing problems require an analysis of a great number of different construction variants. These types of decision-making processes are time consuming and do not always result in the selection of an optimal solution. That is why the methods of numerical optimization are applied in a wide range of technical sciences to assist in the selection of the best solution. The first step in solving the problem by using the Finite element method is to determine the type of chair earmarked for modeling, and to determine the dimensions of the chair elements.

Modern engineering practice requires advanced numerical modeling because, among other things, it reduces the costs associated with prototyping or predicting the occurrence of potentially dangerous situations during operation in certain defined conditions. Different methods have so far been used to implement the real structure into the numerical version. The most popular have been variations of the finite element method (FEM). The aim of this Special Issue has been to familiarize the reader with the latest applications of the FEM for the modeling and analysis of diverse mechanical problems. Authors are encouraged to provide a concise description of the specific application or a potential application of the Special Issue.

In order to ensure the prestress establishment of large-span suspendome, research on the measure-control methods for large-span suspendome during prestress construction process is performed, by summarizing the existing measure and test methods. According to engineering practice at present, the paper classifies the measure-control content of large-span suspendome during prestress construction period into two parts: internal force of cable-strut and deformation of steel structure. Taking practical project of a gymnasium as an example, the axial forces of hoop cables, radial steel tie rods and struts are measured, and also the verticality of struts. The test results are analyzed, and compared with the calculated value. The results show that, the internal forces of cable-strut and verticality of struts can both meet the design requirement, by mechanical analyzing and precise monitoring of the whole prestress construction process. The conclusion is that, before the prestress construction of large-span suspendome, construction mechanics analysis must be carried out in details to determine the control content and its target value, right measure-control methods are chosen, and then the effective establishment of prestress can be achieved.

Base on the traditional assumption, beam-to-column minor axis connections are usually considered either as perfectly rigid or as nominally pinned. In fact, many researches show that beam-to-column minor axis connections are often semi-rigid, and their performance greatly effects the internal force, displacement, and ultimate bearing capacity of the steel frames, which cannot be neglected. Welded joint, one type of beam-to-column minor axis connections, which is widely used in the engineering practice is researched. The finite element method was used to analysis the relationship between the parameter variation and the rotational initial stiffness of the connections. The results can be used as a reference to the designs of steel frames.

In order to calculate the interaction between complicated foundation and sluice plate conveniently, an effective method was proposed to solve this problem in the paper. This method regarded the sluice plate and foundation as two substructures, which are connected with chain-bars. The unit displacement of the sluice plate and the settlement of the foundation surface are calculated by the analytical method and the finite element method, respectively. And the counter-force of the foundation is calculated by the mixed method. At the same time, the displacement and internal force are calculated by the principle of superposition. All the results reflect the interaction effect between the sluice plate and foundation fairly good.

This paper firstly introduces the principle and characteristic of traditional extrusion tapping of internal thread, elaborates the material flow law during tapping process. Then puts forward a novel process of vibration-assisted extrusion tapping of internal thread, explains the effect mechanism of vibration during extrusion tapping of internal thread. Finally, with the finite element method (FEM), the simplified model of extrusion tapping are built, and the simulation of thread forming process of traditional extrusion tapping of internal thread are conducted, furthermore, the characteristic and influencing law of different vibration parameters (include vibration frequency, amplitude and direction) of vibration-assisted extrusion tapping of internal thread are studied, and some practical results are obtained. The simulation results show that applying vibration to extrusion tapping of internal thread can reduce tapping torque and improve thread forming quality, the reasonable selection of vibration parameters are very crucial to this novel process.

Using matrix displacement method and the finite element method to calculate the internal force of the same frame, and then comparing the results. Meanwhile, due to the theory that SM Solver can calculate the exact solution of rigid frame structure forces, we use it to support our experiment. Finally, we succeed in calculating and proving that Matrix displacement method and the finite element method have the same result in solving the rigid frame structure forces.
