The article presents a numerical and analytical modeling of the stress-strain state of a metal ring seal of a tubing hanger under installation loads, as well as under the influence of well pressure. An analytical method for calculating strength and tightness within the elastic formulation is proposed. The calculation by the finite element method was carried out in order to take into account plastic deformations, which make it possible to study the influence of the geometry of the contact zone of the sealing ring on the width of the contact pad and the magnitude of the contact pressure. Comparison of the calculation results by the analytical method and the finite element method is carried out. It is shown that the analytical method, as less labor-intensive, can be used at the initial stages of designing this type of equipment.

The finite element method is a numerical method that is used to find solution of mathematical and engineering problems. It basically deals with partial differential equations. It is very complex for civil engineers to study various structures by using analytical method,so they prefer finite element methods over the analytical methods. As it is an approximate solution, therefore several limitationsare associated in the applicationsin civil engineering due to misinterpretationof analyst. Hence, the main aim of the paper is to study the finite element method in details along with the benefits and limitations of using this method in analysis of building components like beams, frames, trusses, slabs etc.

The purpose of the work is to compare two calculation methods using the example of solving the axisymmetric thermoelasticity problem. The calculation of a thick-walled cylindrical three-layer shell on the temperature effect was carried out by the numerical-analytical method and the finite element method implemented in the LIRA-CAD software package. In the calculation, a piecewise linear inhomogeneity of the shell due to its three-layer structure and continuous inhomogeneity caused by the influence of a stationary temperature field is taken into account. The numerical-analytical method of calculation involves the derivation of a resolving differential equation, which is solved by the sweep method, it is possible to take into account the nonlinear nature of the deformation of the material using the method of successive approximations. To solve this problem by the finite element method, a similar computational model of the shell was constructed in the LIRA-CAD software package. The solution of the problem of thermoelasticity for an infinite cylinder (under conditions of a plane deformed state) and for a cylinder of finite length with free ends is given. Comparison of the calculation results is carried out according to the obtained values of ring stresses.

In order to calculate the interaction between complicated foundation and sluice plate conveniently, an effective method was proposed to solve this problem in the paper. This method regarded the sluice plate and foundation as two substructures, which are connected with chain-bars. The unit displacement of the sluice plate and the settlement of the foundation surface are calculated by the analytical method and the finite element method, respectively. And the counter-force of the foundation is calculated by the mixed method. At the same time, the displacement and internal force are calculated by the principle of superposition. All the results reflect the interaction effect between the sluice plate and foundation fairly good.

The calculation of a thick-walled cylindrical shell on the temperature effect was carried out by the numerical-analytical method and the finite element method, implemented in the LIRA-CAD software package. The shell consists of three layers: two layers of heat-resistant concrete and an outer steel layer.

The heat transfer performance of the spent fuel transport cask is inseparably related to the safety of the whole reprocessing system. In this study, we carried out the thermal analysis on the NAC-STC transport cask for AP1000 spent fuel assembly to evaluate the thermal performance of transport cask by the finite element method software ANSYS. A computational dynamics model was developed to study the temperature distribution inside the transport cask and on the surface of the cask. The effectiveness of the numerical calculation is demonstrated by comparing with the theoretical results. The results show that transport cask can reach steady-state during transportation, and the highest temperature in the case is 328?, which is below the maximum safety limit of 400?. Besides, the temperature of the fuel element baskets, sealing ring, photon shielding layer and neutron shielding layer in the cask are all within the safety limit.

The aim of the paper is to present a global analysis of a precast, reinforced building structure. At the design stage, information about structural behaviour of particular elements and the whole structure as well as its response to applied loads are obtained. While solving the problem, the load-bearing elements and the type and deformability of connections have to be defined. The latter is especially significant in the case of precast structure models. Calculations according to the analytical method are going to be verified by the finite element method.
