Abstract: Automotive, Aerospace, Pipeline industries widely use Bellows. Different types of bellows are used in these industries. The bellows are used for contraction or expansion applications. Repeated variable pressure loading and displacement on Metallic bellows joints results in bellows failure. This paper is a comprehensive modeling and analysis of an axial type exhaust metallic bellow due to varying pressure load and circumferential and radial displacement. All analysis completed using ANSYS software considering variable pressure load and cylindrical displacement as a boundary condition and perused the consequences. Stress distribution in the conditions of Case (i) variable pressure load and Case (ii) displacement are obtained. Keywords: ANSYS, FE Bellows, Finite Element Analysis, Bellow Failures

Abstract Based on the unified theory of tubesheet (TS) design for fixed TS heat exchangers (HEX), floating head and U-tube HEX presented in Part I and Part II, theoretical and numerical comparisons with ASME method are performed in this paper as Part III. Theoretical comparison shows that ASME method can be obtained from the special case of the simplified mechanical model of the unified theory. Numerical Comparison results indicate that predictions given by the unified theory agree well with finite element analysis (FEA), while ASME results are not accurate or not correct. Therefore, it is concluded that the unified theory deals with different types of HEX in equal detail with confidence to predict design stresses.

This paper introduces the development of a tool for modeling and analysis of BTF toolholder-spindle system, based on ANSYS software. The tool is developed in parametric design method. Most parameters are defined automatically except a few parameters requiring users to input, which improves the modeling efficiency greatly. The interface joint of the BTF toolholder-spindle is established by adopting spring-damping model and defined by custom element unit Matrix27. The proposed model reflects the characters of the joint on the properties of BTF toolholder-spindle effectively. A case study is given to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the developed tool.

Based on the unified analytical method of stress analysis for fixed tubesheet (TS) heat exchangers (HEX), floating head and U-tube HEX presented in Part I, numerical comparisons with ASME method are performed in this paper as Part II. Numerical comparison results indicate that predictions given by the unified method agree well with finite element analysis (FEA), while ASME results are not accurate or not correct. Therefore, it is concluded that the unified method deals with thin TS of different types of HEX in equal detail with confidence to predict design stresses.

Natural resource managers need up-to-date information about how people interact with public lands and the meanings these places hold for use in planning and decision-making. This case study explains the use of public participatory Geographic Information System (GIS) to generate and analyze spatial patterns of the uses and values people hold for the Browns Canyon National Monument in Colorado. Participants drew on maps and answered questions at both live community meetings and online sessions to develop a series of maps showing detailed responses to different types of resource uses and landscape values. Results can be disaggregated by interaction types, different meaningful values, respondent characteristics, seasonality, or frequency of visit. The study was a test for the Bureau of Land Management and US Forest Service, who jointly manage the monument as they prepare their land management plan. If the information generated is as helpful throughout the entire planning process as initial responses seem, this protocol could become a component of the Bureau’s planning tool kit.

The purpose of this study was to determinate , using the Finite Element Analysis Method, the mechanical stress in a solid body , temporary molar restored with the self-curing GC material. The originality of our study consisted in using an accurate structural model and applying a concentrated force and a uniformly distributed pressure. Molar structure was meshed in a Solid Type 45 and the output data were obtained using the ANSYS software. The practical predictions can be made about the behavior of different restorations materials.


The effective altruism movement consists of a growing global community of people who organize significant parts of their lives around two key ideas, represented in its name. Altruism: If we use a significant portion of the resources in our possession—whether money, time, or talents—with a view to helping others, we can improve the world considerably. Effectiveness: When we do put such resources to altruistic use, it is crucial to focus on how much good this or that intervention is reasonably expected to do per unit of resource expended (for example, per dollar donated). While global poverty is a widely used case study in introducing and motivating effective altruism, if the ultimate aim is to do the most good one can with the resources expended, it is far from obvious that global poverty alleviation is highest priority cause area. In addition to ranking possible poverty-alleviation interventions against one another, we can also try to rank interventions aimed at very different types of outcome against one another. This includes, for example, interventions focusing on animal welfare or future generations. The scale and organization of the effective altruism movement encourage careful dialogue on questions that have perhaps long been there, throwing them into new and sharper relief, and giving rise to previously unnoticed questions. In the present volume, the first of its kind, a group of internationally recognized philosophers, economists, and political theorists contribute in-depth explorations of issues that arise once one takes seriously the twin ideas of altruistic commitment and effectiveness.

In recent years, the field of clinical psychology has seen a growing movement toward the research and development of transdiagnostic treatments. Transdiagnostic approaches have the potential to address numerous issues related to the development and treatment of mental disorders. Among these are the high rates of comorbidity across disorders, the increasing need for efficient protocols, and the call for treatments that can be more easily disseminated. This chapter provides a review of the current transdiagnostic treatment approaches for the treatment of youth mental disorders. Three different types of transdiagnostic protocols are examined: mechanism-based protocols, common elements treatments, and general treatment models that originated from single-disorder approaches to have broader reach. A case study illuminates how a mechanism-based approach would inform case conceptualization for a client presenting with internalizing and externalizing symptoms and how a transdiagnostic framework translates into practice.
