The article describes a practice of using software system based on the finite element method for calculating shell foundations. It considers the peculiarities of the folded foundation interaction with subsoil mathematical modeling . It is found that during modeling, special attention should be paid to a purpose of the system initial parameters, to a choice of finite elements type, and to an optimal model of subsoil. Mathematical modeling of the folded foundation interaction with subsoil is performed under conditions of a plane problem. The foundation operation under various conditions of interaction with subsoil and with different stiffness parameters of the foundation is analyzed. Correlation between stiffness of a foundation structure and resulting equivalent stresses in subsoil under different conditions of interaction is determined. It is concluded that the obtained results represent a benchmark for subsequent calculations and modeling the interaction between a foundation and subsoil under a volumetric stressed condition.

The paper presents modeling and calculations of multi-bolted connections at the assembly stage on an example of the engine cylinder head-block connection. The physical model of the connection was introduced as a combination of three subsystems: the set of bolts, the joined element and the contact layer between the joined element and the rigid support. The finite element method (FEM) was used for the modeling. Bolts were replaced with hybrid elements. The joined element was modeled with spatial finite elements. The Winkler model of the contact layer has been taken into consideration. The truth of the theorem has been examined, according to which non-linearity of the contact layer has a negligible impact on the final values of the bolt forces in the case of sequential preloading of the multi-bolted connection. The results of the calculations of a selected multi-bolted connection have been compared with the experimental results.

General Method

This paper presents a general method for calculating the pressure distribution and the deformations in machine joints. This method assumes that the components of the joint are connected through finite elements which are defined as a function of the surface finish, material and pressure at the apparent area of contact. The system so established is solved in an iterative manner using the finite-element method, obtaining, as a final result, the pressure distribution at the contacting surfaces of the components and the deformations of the surrounding body. To prove the validity and precision of the theoretical formulation, several examples of joints are considered where the correlation between the calculated and measured deflections is shown to be good.

The Finite Difference Method

The finite-element method (FEM) with mass lumping is an efficient scheme for modeling seismic wave propagation in the subsurface, especially in the presence of sharp velocity contrasts and rough topography. A number of numerical simulations for triangles are presented to illustrate the strength of the method. A comparison to the finite-difference method shows that the added complexity of the FEM is amply compensated by its superior accuracy, making the FEM the more efficient approach.

Boom Crane

During cargo loading and unloading, the vessels’ lifting gear, even if anchored or moored, is affected by the pitch and roll movements, in addition to the usual stresses, a similar shore crane is subjected to. This paper aims at presenting an analysis of the lifting operations of a boom crane pertaining to a self-propelled barge. The analysis starts with the meshing with triangle elements, the stresses and the embedding using the finite elements method. The crane and the pertaining boom were modeled using CAD design, NX 10.0 from Siemens. The lifting equipment of the ships boom crane may be subject to dangerous defects occurring during the loading and unloading process. Subsequently, the research emphasizes the stresses occurred in the piston rod and in the eye of the lifting equipment, using the finite element method (FEM). After the stress analysis, several fatigue matters are studied: fatigue safety factor, fatigue life, strength safety factor and crack. The damaging or breaking of the eye or of the piston rod from the lifting equipment of the ships boom crane is leading to the blocking of the cylinder with the result of unfavorable events, such as deformation of the boom crane, damaging the loads and even the danger of sinking the barge. The results of this analysis provide ship-owner and maintenance engineers a useful tool to take appropriate decision during inspection of the lifting gear of the ship, prior commencement of the loading and unloading operations.

In this paper the methods of mechanical testing of metal and the possibility of their implementation, using mathematical modeling by the finite element method in Deform software package, are considered. As the studied parameters, both the strength indicators (yield strength, tensile strength, Brinel micro-hardness), and the plasticity indicator (the number of kinks before the crack is formed), were studied. The values obtained in the simulation have a very high convergence with the real data.
