A three dimensional muscle detailed human anklefoot model was created. Starting from computed tomographies all bones and muscles of the foot were reconstructed. The development process, the modelfeatures and the thresholding and smoothing problems are explained. The finite element model developed will be used to study the mechanical performance of each muscle and bone allowing to simulate any pathology, treatment or surgery of the foot.

The finite element model of the concrete mixing truck’s frame is builded by using shell as basic element, and the process of building the finite element model of the balance suspension is introduced in detail. Based on this, frame’s stress on five types of typical operating conditions are calculated by using the finite element analysis software, NASTRAN, and results can show the dangerous position and the maximum stress position on the frame. The analysis result on structural strength can provide the basis for further improving the frame structure.

This paper presents a detailed finite element analysis of a five-layer unbonded flexible riser. The numerical results are compared analytical solutions for various load cases. In the finite element model all layers are modelled separately with contact interfaces placed between each layer. The finite element model includes the main features of the riser geometry with very little simplifying assumptions made. The numerical model was solved using a fully explicit time-integration scheme implemented in a parallel environment on a 16-processor cluster. The very good agreement found from numerical and analytical comparisons validates the use of our numerical model to provide benchmark solutions against which further detailed investigation will be made.

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.

Springback is a common phenomenon in air bending of sheet metal forming, caused by the elastic redistribution of the internal stresses during unloading. It has been recognized that springback is essential for the design of the air bending. Traditionally, the values of springback is obtained for air bending parameters from handbook tables or springback graphs. However, the handbook tables or springback graphs are obtained using experiments and it is a time consuming processes. In this paper, a finite element model has been used to analyze the air bending process. Some experiments are carried out on ST12 materials, and the finite element model is validated comparing with experiments. In the present research the influence of process variables such as punch radius, die radius and die on springback are discussed using finite element analysis. Thus, the presented results of this research provide a basis of design to improve forming quality.

Create 3D entity model of the loader’s frame in Solidworks, assemble the frame and then import in ANSYS to get the finite element model of the frame, and use ANSYS to analysis the frame at 5 Static characteristics of different conditions. The analysis indicates that the design scheme of the frame is feasible, but need to increase the stiffness of the structure in some parts.

Based on the construction features of the steel structures of a type of electrical dust precipitator, a finite element model is established with large-scale finite element analysis software ANSYS, and the structure stress and displacement of the model under all sorts of loads are analyzed with the frontal solution method. The results indicate that analysis is relatively accurate, the finite element model and the analysis method is appropriate. The result can be further used for optimization design of the electrical precipitator steel structures.

A single-axis ultrasonic levitator applied in containerless processing of materials was introduced. It could suspend steel ball with density of 7.9 g/cm3 as well as else material samples easily. The finite element model of singe-axis ultrasonic levitator was developed to study the incident acoustic fields. Three-dimensional distribution of time-averaged potential is focused and the results are successful to confirm some experimental phenomena such as the movement of sample along concave reflector and the deviation of object near the reflector.
