Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.

Three-dimensional finite element model of a cracked bolted joint has been developed in the non-linear finite element code MSC.Marc and attempts were made to validate it by comparing results with those of experiments and other finite element. Issues in modeling the contact between the joint parts, which affect the accuracy and efficiency of the model, were presented. Experimental measurements of load transfer were compared with results from finite element analysis. The results show that three-dimensional finite element model of cracked bolted joint can produce results in close agreement with experiment. Three-dimensional effects such as bolt titling, seconding and through-thickness variations in stress and strain are well represented by such models. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was also used to study the effects of hole mod and crack on the load transfer behaviour of single lap bolted joints. The results show that hole mode has big effect on load transfer of cracked bolted joint. In the whole progress of crack growth, the load transfer through bolt 1 decrease, and almost all of the load duduction of bolt 1 transfer into blot 2 rather than into bolt 3.

Abstract Background: Clinical studies have found that manipulations have a good clinical effect on sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain without specific causes. However, the specific mechanisms of manipulations are still unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of three common manipulations on the pressures and displacements of SIJ, and the strains of the surrounding ligaments. Methods: A three-dimensional finite element model of the pelvis-femur was developed. The manipulation of hip and knee flexion (MHKF), the manipulation of oblique pulling (MOP), and the manipulation of lower limb hyperextension (MLLH) were simulated. The pressures and displacements of SIJs, and the strains of the surrounding ligaments were analyzed under the three manipulations. Results: The MOP produced the greatest pressure on the left SIJ, at 6.6 MPa, while the MHKF could produce the lowest pressure on the right SIJ, at 1.5 MPa. The displacements of SIJs were all less than 1mm in the three manipulations. The three manipulations could cause different degrees of the strains of ligaments around the SIJs, and the MOP could produce the largest strain of ligaments. Conclusion: The three manipulations all produced small displacements of SIJs, while they caused different degrees of ligament strains, which might be the reason for relieving the SIJ pain. The MOP may be a more effective manual therapy. Key words: Manipulation, Sacroiliac joint, Displacement, Ligament strain, Finite element analysis.

Three-dimensional finite element model of a bolted joint has been developed in the non-linear finite element code MSC.Marc and attempts were made to validate it by comparing results with those of experiments and other finite element. Issues in modeling the contact between the joint parts, which affect the accuracy and efficiency of the model, were presented. Experimental measurements of surface strains and load transfer ratio(LTR) were compared with results from finite element analysis. The results show that three-dimensional finite element model of bolted joint can produce results in close agreement with experiment. Three-dimensional effects such as bolt titling, seconding and through-thickness variations in stress and strain are well represented by such models. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was also used to study the effects of different parameters on the mechanical behaviour of single lap bolted joints. The results show that straight hole, small bolt diameter, and big hole pitch are selected first for bolted joint if other conditions allowed, and effect of bolt material on LTR of joint is small for small load. Interference and pre-stress should be strictly controlled for bolted joints in order to attain the best fatigue capability of lap joint.

The three-dimensional finite element analysis was performed to determine an optimum die design and the corresponding sheet-blank shape for stamping a part of motorcycle oil tank. To save the computation time, an equivalent drawbead model was adopted to replace the actual drawbead shape in the finite element simulations. The forming limit diagram constructed from stretching tests was also used in conjunction with the finite element results to predict the occurrence of fracture. The optimum die design and the corresponding sheet-blank shape obtained from the finite element analysis was validated by the achievement of defect-free production panels. The advantage of using the finite element analysis for the stamping die design was thereby confirmed.

Abstract Background: ACDF is the main treatment of cervical disease. Adjacent Segment Degeneration (ASD) is the main complication of long-term follow-up of ACDF. we conduct a detailed study of ACDF by means of three-dimensional finite element analysis and find the effect of screw placement and location on the occurrence of ASD.Methods: The cervical computed tomography (CT) data (layer thickness of 0.625 mm) for a 30-year-old healthy male volunteer was collected. All the data were combined to create a C2-7 3D finite element model using Abaqus software. Based on the data and the actual surgical maneuver, a screw positioning model was established, in order to observe the cervical range of motion (ROM) with different positions of screw, as well as the pressure change of the adjacent segment intervertebral disc.Results: The proposed finite element model of cervical spine was effective, and ROM on all directions of C4-C6 segments changed after ACDF surgery. Under the same torque settings, compared with the control group, C2/3 segment rotational ROM increased; C2/3, C3/4 segments lateral flexion ROM also increased. Regarding the influence of screw positioning, it has limited influence on the ROM and The intervertebral disc pressure (IDP), and compared with different horizontal positions, different vertical positions imposed greater influence on the ROM and IDP. Conclusions: For ACDF surgery, positioning the screw at the anterior inferior part of the cervical vertebral body could provide more natural cervical ROM and the least IDP, while maintaining high biomechanical stability, and is more in line with human biomechanical requirements.

In this paper, the four-point shear (FPS) specimen is studied for different combinations of crack depth (a/W) and specimen thickness (t/W) to width ratios. Extensive 3D finite element analysis (FEA) has been carried out, and comprehensive solutions of fracture parameters produced. From the results of the finite element analysis, the size of the plastic zone is studied at various points through-thickness. Through these analyses, the effects of considering finite-thickness specimens are illustrated.

In the present work, the finite element analysis was employed to study the distribution and level of thermal residual stress generated in matrix reinforced with SO2 nanoparticles. Using Cohesive Element as the bonding of the interface between fiber and matrix, three–dimensional finite element models of periodic cells were established. The results of the models with and without nanoparticles were compared. The residual thermal stressdue to the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficients between matrix and fibers, especially theshear stress in the interface, decreased with nanoparticles, which could explain the reinforcing mechanism of nanoparticles. Our numerical study can be of great significance in designing new composites with high performance

A three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis model is presented to study mixed-mode interfacial delamination for a pull-off test consisting of a thin film strip debonded from a glass substrate. Since the strain energy release rates of all three modes (Mode I, Mode II, and Mode III) and the mode mixities vary along the width of the debond front, prediction of the in-situ shape of the debond front remains an interesting and challenging topic. A cohesive zone model is incorporated into the three-dimensional finite element model to predict the interfacial crack propagation profile for the film deformation regime ranging from bending plate to stretching membrane. This three-dimensional finite element model is found to provide additional insights for interfacial delamination for the pull-off test.
