In order to obtain high-quality analytical results of the finite element model, it is essential to construct a three dimensional geometric model. The paper reconstructed an accurate three dimensional geometric model of cervical spine segments (C4-C7). The process of reconstruction included three-dimensional reconstruction, smooth processing, contour generation, grid generation and fitting surface. Moreover, the result of reconstruction was evaluated ultimately. The model was validated to be smooth and reasonable, and could meet the requirements of finite element analysis. The method is not merely applied to reconstruct the geometric model of the cervical spine. It is a way to construct the model of the skeletal system of the human body.

Mechanical behavior and fracture process of weld specimens were analyzed by finite element method. Three-dimensional butt-weld specimen was modeled by two-dimensional approaches. Welding residual stress in the models was obtained by carrying out thermo-mechanical calculation. To take into account straight boundary lines of real weld specimen, the finite element model was constructed by using an iterative method. Cohesive zone method was applied to analyze fatigue behavior of the models.

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.

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.

The spinal cord may be injured through various spinal column injury patterns. However, the relationship between column injury pattern and cord damage is not well understood. This investigation was conducted to develop a detailed, asymmetric three-dimensional finite element model of the C3-C5 cervical spine. The model was validated by comparing the simulation results obtained in this study with experimental published data. Upon validation of the model, the spinal cord was included into the model the simulation were performed. The disc bulge in the model with spinal cord were measured and compared with the results of the model without spinal cord. The results showed that inclusion of the spinal cord reduced the amount of lateral disc bulged. The results of the analysis of the model with spinal cord showed that in compression, the anterior surface of spinal cord sees more displacement, stress and strain that posterior surface and vice versa for flexion/extension.
