The aim in this study is to numerically present some characteristic features of the rectangular finite element using the matrix displacement method and to show the utility of this element in plane stress problems compared to the finite element method. The paper consisted of three parts. In the first part, all of the finite element formulation steps from choosing the convenient coordinate system to creating element stiffness matrix are presented respectively. In the second part of the study, a static finite element analysis of the shear wall is also made by ANSYS Mechanical APDL. In the final part, the results (displacements, strains and stresses) obtained from the previous parts are compared with each other by the help of tables and graphics. The results show that this method is effective and preferable for the stress analysis of shell structures. Further studies should be conducted in order to indicate the efficiency of the matrix displacement method for the solution of different types of plane stress problems using different finite elements.

This article is probed into on the issue that the influence of border concealed column toward shear wall stiffness. Charge example indicates finite element that this text set up calculate model is acceptable. It is used the finite element method basic theory to compile finite element analysis procedure with four points rectangles unit to solve this problem. It can calculate the shear wall with concealed column’s displacement under the wind load to check the result it whether can be satisfied the design request. Using this procedure, this article carries on the finite element modeling analysis on a ten-floor building shear wall structure system. The procedure’s result and the software of ANSYS’s result tallies well, and it also be compared with the simplification computation’s result.

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.

Thermomechanical properties of precipitated NiTi shape memory alloys are investigated using the finite element method. The precipitated material microstructure is explored using a representative volume element with embedded Ni4Ti3 precipitates. Features such as precipitate coherency and distribution of Ni within the matrix due to the precipitation process are individually explored and characterized. Changes in the material’s macroscopic thermomechanical response due to this precipitation are determined.

It is shown how the finite-element displacement method of analysis using an elastic analogy may be applied to problems in plane stress where the material is viscoelastic. The method allows material non-homogeneity to be taken into account, as it might need to be in some thermo-viscoelastic problems. Some numerical results are given, based on the Maxwell body, and these are supported by a short-time creep experiment on a sheet of perspex. The distribution of stress is found to change slightly during this period of time.

In most finite-element-analysis codes, accuracy is achieved through the use of the hexahedron hexa-20 elements (a node at each of the 8 corners and 12 edges of a brick element). Unfortunately, without an additional node in the center of each of the element’s 6 faces, nor in the center of the hexa, the hexa-20 elements are not fully quadratic such that its truncation error remains at h(0), the same as the error of a hexa-8 element formulation. To achieve an accuracy with a truncation error of h3(0), we need the fully-quadratic hexa-27 formulation. A competitor of the hexa-27 element in the early days was the so-called serendipity cubic hexa-32 solid elements (see Ahmad, Irons, and Zienkiewicz, Int. J. Numer. Methods in Eng., 2:419-451 (1970) [1]). The hexa-32 elements, unfortunately, also suffer from the same lack of accuracy syndrome as the hexa20’s. In recent work, we have developed methods to test the errors and the rate of convergence in FEA [2,3,4]. In this paper, we propose a new metric for determining the quality of isoparametric elements a priori. Significance of the highly accurate hexa-27 formulation and a comparison of its results with similar solutions using ABAQUS hexa-20 elements, are presented and discussed. Guidelines are proposed for selection of better elements.

A two-dimensional plane stress finite element analysis of porous rooted dental implants was performed. The results of this analysis were compared to results obtained from mechanical tests performed on actual implanted specimens. The appropriate selection of interface material properties was shown to be highly significant.

In order to analyze aseismic behavior of the high reinforced concrete (R.C.) shear wall with frame column in the large thermal power plant, the model structure has been taken test with method of low frequency cyclic repeated load that has 1/15 scaling factor to practical structure. At same time the model has been analyzed by the finite element method which takes the Hognestad concrete constitutive model and ideal elastic-plasticity steel reinforcement constitutive equation. It has been found that the hysteretic curve is relatively full and energy dissipation capacity is better through the experiment. The bearing capacity, deformation and fracture results to the Shear wall of finite element analysis are closely with the test results. In general, the R.C. shear wall with frame column in the large thermal power plant has good aseismic performance. The finite element method can be taken to analyzed the similarity structure.

An elastic-plastic, plane stress, finite element analysis has been performed on edge-notched tension members having elastic stress concentration factors of 2.28 and 3.06. For net section stresses below general yield, experimentally measured notch root strains are within 12 percent of those computed by the finite element method. The current results indicate that finite element analysis generally provides a better estimate of notch strain than either the Neuber or Hardrath-Ohman formulations.

Abstract The paper describes the intention of the authors to determine whether it is possible to predict relative belt edge endurance for radial passenger car tires using the finite element method. Three groups of tires with different belt edge configurations were tested on a fleet test in an attempt to validate predictions from the finite element results. A two-dimensional, axisymmetric finite element analysis was first used to determine if the results from such an analysis, with emphasis on the shear deformations between the belts, could be used to predict a relative ranking for belt edge endurance. It is shown that such an analysis can lead to erroneous conclusions. A three-dimensional analysis in which tires are modeled under free rotation and static vertical loading was performed next. This approach resulted in an improvement in the quality of the correlations. The differences in the predicted values of various stress analysis parameters for the three belt edge configurations are studied and their implication on predicting belt edge endurance is discussed.

Abstract The finite element method has been used widely in tire engineering. Most tire simulations using the finite element method are static analyses, because tires are very complex nonlinear structures. Recently, transient phenomena have been studied with explicit finite element analysis codes. In this paper, the authors demonstrate the feasibility of tire cornering simulation using an explicit finite element code, PAM-SHOCK. First, we propose the cornering simulation using the explicit finite element analysis code. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed simulation, computed cornering forces for a 175SR14 tire are compared with experimental results from an MTS Flat-Trac Tire Test System. The computed cornering forces agree well with experimental results. After that, parametric studies are conducted by using the proposed simulation.
