This paper mainly introduces how to use the software of Marc to calculate the displacement and stress of the sluice. The finite element model which concludes the sluice, piles and foundation was structured for calculation and analysis using the contact analysis function provided by the program. the displacement and stress of the massive structure was worked out to estimate its whole stability and evaluate workability state of the sluice under different structures. The example shows that the results of 3D finite element analysis can be used to accurately reflect the state of the buildings overall strength and displacement. The integral floor structure of contrary arch floor sluice is better than the separated floor structure to adapt to the foundation uneven settlement, but the separated floor structure of contrary arch floor sluice makes stress form more reasonable.

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.

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.

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.

The aim of this study was to compare the reduced stresses according to Huber’s hypothesis and the displacement pattern in the region of the facial skeleton using a tooth- or bone-borne appliance in surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME). In the current literature, the lack of updated reports about biomechanical effects in bone-borne appliances used in SARME is noticeable. Finite element analysis (FEA) was used for this study. Six facial skeleton models were created, five with various variants of osteotomy and one without osteotomy. Two different appliances for maxillary expansion were used for each model. The three-dimensional (3D) model of the facial skeleton was created on the basis of spiral computed tomography (CT) scans of a 32-year-old patient with maxillary constriction. The finite element model was built using ANSYS 15.0 software, in which the computations were carried out. Stress distributions and displacement values along the 3D axes were found for each osteotomy variant with the expansion of the tooth- and the bone-borne devices at a level of 0.5 mm. The investigation showed that in the case of a full osteotomy of the maxilla, as described by Bell and Epker in 1976, the method of fixing the appliance for maxillary expansion had no impact on the distribution of the reduced stresses according to Huber’s hypothesis in the facial skeleton. In the case of the bone-borne appliance, the load on the teeth, which may lead to periodontal and orthodontic complications, was eliminated. In the case of a full osteotomy of the maxilla, displacements in the buccolingual direction for all the variables of the bone-borne appliance were slightly bigger than for the tooth-borne appliance.

In order to study the static and dynamical characteristics of the crankshaft, ANSYS software was used to carry out the corresponding calculations. The entity model of the crankshaft was established by UG software firstly, and then was imported into ANSYS software for meshing, and then the finite element model of the crankshaft was constructed. The crankshaft satisfied the requirement of stiffness and strength through static analysis. The top six natural frequencies and corresponding shapes were acquired through modal analysis, and the every order critical rotating speed of the crankshaft was calculated. The fatigue life of the crank was calculated by fatigue module of ANSYS software finally. These results offered the theoretical guidance for designing, manufacturing and repairing the crankshaft.

Abstract A finite element analysis (FEA) model of the interaction of a nut and bolt was used to investigate the effects of sliding, friction, and yielding in a bolted connection. The finite element model was developed as a two-dimensional, axisymmetric system, which allowed the study of axial and radial loading and displacements. This model did not permit evaluation of hoop or torsional effects such as tightening or the helical thread form. Results presented in this paper include the distribution of load between consecutive threads, the relative sliding along thread faces, and the stress distribution and regions of yielding in the model. Finally, a comparison to previous, linear analysis work and to published experimental data is made to conclude the paper.

According to the cutting theory of involute tooth profile, established an exact three-dimensional parametric model by UG. Used ABAQUS to crate finite element model for gear meshing. After simulated the meshing process, discussed the periodicity of the tooth surface contact stress. Based on the result of finite element analysis, made a comparison of the maximum contact stress between finite element solution and Hertz theoretical solution, analyzed the contact stress distribution on tooth width, and researched the effect of friction factor on contact stress. All that provided some theoretical basis for gear contact strength design.

A 3D finite element model for charged hydrated soft tissue containing charged/uncharged solutes was developed based on the multi-phasic mechano-electrochemical mixture theory [1–2]. This model was applied to analyze the mechanical, chemical and electrical signals within the human intervertebral disc under mechanical loading. The effects of tissue composition and material property on the physical signals and the transport of fluid, ions and nutrients were investigated. This study is important for understanding disc biomechanics, disc nutrition and disc mechanobiology.
