Building fires, which may cause failure of buildings, occur frequently in cities all over the world. Composite structural members, such as concrete filled steel tube columns and steel-decked composite floor slabs, are being increasingly used in buildings for their dual advantage of excellent load bearing capacity and fire resistance. Because the heat transfer across a steel-concrete interface is difficult to model using ordinary elements, most existing finite element analysis models ignore the effect of thermal contact resistance. In this paper, several two- and three-dimensional new thermal resistance elements (referred as TRE for brevity), which have been embed in the special purpose finite element software TFIELD coded by authors, are proposed. Two numerical examples are given. Numerical simulating results demonstrate that the proposed thermal resistance elements are extremely effective.

The ultimate load-bearing capacities of axially-loaded steel tube composite column filled with steel reinforced concrete under three-dimensional stress based on the unified strength theory are analyzed in this paper. The influence of thickness-length ratio and scale effect are considered by introducing the reduction factor of equivalent constraints and concrete strength reduction factor, respectively. The nonlinear three-dimensional finite element analysis of the steel tube composite column filled with steel reinforced concrete is performed by the finite element software ANSYS. The numerical and the analytical results are compared with experimental results and good agreement can be observed. A series of numerical simulation technologies is studied and described in detail, such as selecting element type, defining material model of steel and concrete, establishing global finite element model with discrete reinforced bars elements, applying loads to the specimens, and setting solution controls option. The results indicate that ANSYS finite element software may well simulate the behavior of the steel tube composite column filled with steel reinforced concrete under axial compression through reasonably selecting parameters.

In port crane industry, the surface hardening technique is widely used in order to improve the strength of wheel. But the hardening depth is chosen only by according to the experience, and the effect of different hardened depths is not studied theoretically. In this paper, the contact stresses in wheel with different hardening depth have been analyzed by applying three-dimensional finite element model. Based on this model, the ANSYS10.0 finite element software is used. The elastic wheel is used to verify the numerical results with the Hertz’s theory. Three different hardening depths, namely 10mm, 25mm and whole hardened wheel, under three different vertical loads were applied. The effect of hardening depth of a surface hardened wheel is discussed by comparing the contact stresses and contact areas from the numerical results.

New full hall scaffolds with pulley-clip style formwork support system is adopted in the concert hall of Changsha. This paper presents the concept of the complete equivalent initial imperfection according to the characteristics of too many influential factors on the high formwork supporting frame，then makes the complete equivalent initial imperfectione equivalent to assumed equivalent horizontal load in order to ensure the safety of the frame. At the same time, it gets a three-dimensional model by the general finite element software ANSYS 10.0. Based on the results of experiment and finite element analysis, it gets the recommended value of assumed equivalent horizontal load. The study on the high formwork supporting frame with pulley-clip style provides some reference for other similar projects.

Abstract Ratcheting assessment by elastic-plastic stress analysis is presented in ASME VIII-2, paragraph 5.5.7. There are three criteria. The first one is strict in engineering design. It’s hard for most of structures to satisfy it. If the plastic strain in the structure is zero, it means that the material is not fully utilized and maybe the structure is unreasonable. Therefore, the second and third criteria are used much more. The first one and the third one can be observed directly and judged accurately by the finite element analysis results. The second one demands an elastic core in the primary-load-bearing boundary. It could be easily observed when the structure is axisymmetric, but hard to judge in the 3D structure. Okamoto in Committee on Three Dimensional Finite Element Stress Evaluation (C-TDF) has studied two thermal stress ratchet criteria: evaluating variations in the plastic strain increments and evaluating variations in the elastic core region, which can accurately assess ratcheting. Recent years, based on the criteria above, more researches have been performed by engineers not only from C-TDF but from all over the world. In this work, several two-dimensional structures and three-dimensional structures under particular load and displacement boundaries are performed by using finite element software ANSYS, aiming to compare the similarities and differences between the criteria in ASME VIII-2, 5.5.7.2 and those given by C-TDF. The assessment of these structures presented in this work will help engineers understand the realization of the criteria and methods in engineering design, especially how to utilize the results from ANSYS.

The aim of this paper was to find an optimal stiffener configuration of thin-wall tubular panels made by glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite material, which is a low carbon emission, low life cycle cost, and sustainable material. Finite-element analysis (FEA) was used to investigate the flexural and torsional stiffness of various internally stiffened sections of thin-wall GFRP decks. These decks consist of internally stiffened tubular profiles laid side by side and bonded together with epoxy to ensure the panel acts as an assembly. Three-dimensional models of the seven proposed decks were assembled with tubular profiles of different stiffener patterns. First, the non-stiffened tube profile was tested experimentally to validate the parameters used in the subsequent numerical analysis. Then, the finite element software, ANSYS, was used to simulate the flexural and torsional behavior of the decks with different stiffener patterns under bending and torsional loads. The decks with stiffener patterns such as “O” type, “V” type, and “D” type were found to be the most effective in bending. For torsion, there was a distinct tendency for deck panels with closed shaped stiffener patterns to perform better than their counterparts. Overall, the “O” type deck panel was an optimal stiffener configuration.
