Based on the second development at the ANSYS computing platform, finite element model of a Tower-Line Coupling system was established. The computational fluid dynamics module (CFX) was used for the numerical simulation of the aerodynamic characteristics of iced conductor. On the basis of the Kaimal spectrum, fast Fourier transform was introduced to prepare the wind speed simulation program WVFS with spatial correlation into consideration, thus generating aerodynamic coefficients of iced conductor at different wind attack angles as well as wind speed time series at tower-line nodes. According to the finite element model of continuous multi-conductors and the aerodynamic force- wind attack angle curve, the explicit integration is applied for numerical solution of galloping of iced conductor.

In this paper, the bionic membrane structure is introduced to improve the aerodynamic performance of nano rotor at the low Reynolds number. The aerodynamic characteristics of nano rotor made of hyperelastic material as membrane blades are studied. Firstly, based on the hyperelastic constitutive model, a finite element model of the rotor is established and compared with the results of the modal test to verify the accuracy of the model. Then the computational fluid dynamics model of membrane nano rotor is established which combined with the finite element model. The aerodynamic characteristics of the membrane rotor under hovering conditions are studied using fluid–structure interaction method. It is found that the calculation results matched well with the experiment results. The design of the structural parameters such as the membrane proportion, shape, and position of the membrane rotor is optimized. The influence of each parameter on the aerodynamic performance of the rotor is obtained. Under certain structural conditions, the performance can be effectively improved, which provides a new idea for the design of the nano rotor.

In this paper, 3-DOF finite element model for galloping has been built on the basis of form-finding analysis. Fitting formula about aerodynamic parameters has been obtained by wind tunnel test. With the combination of finite element model and aerodynamic parameter, a simulation model of single bundle on 3-span was built. And the response of ice-coating transmission line was calculated with different span, initial attack angle, wind speed, suspension insulator length and initial tension. With the comparison of the calculated results, span, initial attack angle, wind speed and initial tension have direct effect on galloping amplitude, order of the galloping, load on suspension insulator and tension on the midpoint of span. On the contrary, suspension insulator length doesnt have obvious effect on galloping.

This paper aims to validate a proposed finite element model to be adopted in predicting displacement and soil stresses of a piled-raft foundation. The proposed model adopts the solid element to simulate the raft, piles, and soil mass. An explicit integration scheme has been used to simulate nonlinear static aspects of the piled-raft foundation and to avoid the computational difficulties associated with the implicit finite element analysis. The validation process is based on comparing the results of the proposed finite element model with those of a scaled-down experimental work achieved by other researchers. Centrifuge apparatus has been used in the experimental work to generate the required stresses to simulate the actual geostatic stress on the site. Comparing between numerical and experimental results indicate that the proposed finite element model is accurate and adequate and it can be used in future work to simulate more complicated practical problems of piled-raft foundations. After its validation, this model was used to investigate the effectiveness of using piled with a raft foundation that subjected to eccentric loading. In this parametric study, the value of eccentricity  was taken equal to , , and . The numerical results indicated that there is a significant decrease in the bearing capacity for unpiled raft foundation compared to the piled raft foundation for the same eccentricity of the applied load.

The general expression of Lagrange nonlinear cable element is established firstly by using virtual work principle. On the basis of the theory, the specific expression of a two-node cable element having rotational degree of freedom is derived and the non-linear finite element model of multi-span transmission line for galloping analysis was established. In addition, the aerodynamic coefficient of iced conductor under different wind attack angle was obtained through computational fluid dynamics method. Based on the finite element model and aerodynamic characteristics of the iced conductor, the Runge-Kutta method was applied to carried out non-linear numerical simulation of iced conductor galloping and the Matlab program was compiled. The galloping of the multi-span transmission line crossing Hanjiang River was analyzed. The results indicate that the presented method can simulate the galloping process effectively and it can provide the basic references for further research of preventing galloping.

Powder forming involves fabrication of a preform by conventional press-and-sinter processing, followed by various forming processes, citing as examples, rolling, compaction, forging, extrusion, among others, of the porous preform into a final shape through substantial densification. This work makes a finite element analysis for porous metals. The finite element model was applied to simulating the case of compaction of nanocristalline copper under uniaxial compression conditions in order investigate the densification behavior. The model was simulated using explicit integration method as applied to the evolution variation of the relative density and the dislocation density of the compact. Finite element analysis program used was Abaqus. Finite element calculations were compared with literature data. The agreements between finite element model and literature results for densification of nanocristalline copper were good.
