The current Chinese design specification of steel arch structure lacks full of bearing performance when checking its in-plane stability under asymmetric load. In order to overcome this disadvantage, the nonlinear finite element method was used for the ultimate load analysis of parabolic steel arch structure under full-span and half-span loads with different combination ratio. The calculated results show that ultimate load based on the specification is close to that based on the finite element analysis of model with geometrical defects; but is quite different from that based on the finite element analysis of perfect model; when half-span load accounts for a large proportion, the ultimate load based on the finite element analysis of geometrical defect model is higher than that based on the finite element analysis of perfect model.

The mechanism withstands 220t high temperature molten steel. In case of damage, molten steel pours. There will be major security incidents. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate carrying capacity of the mechanism. However, the part of components of the mechanism is made up of a crisscross of steel plate. This is used to withstand the bending and stretching. If we rely on traditional mechanical analysis, a large number of simplifying must be adopted, and accuracy of the calculation can be reduced. Therefore, this paper uses the COSMOSWorks Plug-in of SolidWorks software to carry out finite element calculation of whole machine for the mechanism. It avoids these shortcomings mentioned above. And this makes bearing capacity calculation to be more close to the actual circumstances. And the results show that: (1) the maximum stress of parts in the mechanism is only 52.8Mpa and much less than permissible stresses of its materials. As a result, the mechanism has sufficient bearing capacity. (2) The maximum displacement of whole machine is 2.637 mm. And the displacement will cause dip angle when lifting molten steel and it is less than its allowable stiffness. Therefore, the deformation is to meet requirements for the mechanism. In conclusion, the finite element analysis of the whole machine avoids complex force analysis and simplification of structure. The calculation has high accuracy. It is one of effective methods in the design of intensity and stiffness of complex structures.

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 purpose of this study was to determinate , using the Finite Element Analysis Method, the mechanical stress in a solid body , temporary molar restored with the self-curing GC material. The originality of our study consisted in using an accurate structural model and applying a concentrated force and a uniformly distributed pressure. Molar structure was meshed in a Solid Type 45 and the output data were obtained using the ANSYS software. The practical predictions can be made about the behavior of different restorations materials.

Directivity Characteristics

We propose a model to give us a method to investigate the characteristic three-dimensional directivity in an arbitrarily configured flexible electret-based loudspeaker. In recent years, novel electret loudspeakers have attracted much interest due to their being lightweight, paper thin, and possessing excellent mid- to high-frequency responses. Increasing or decreasing the directivity of an electret loudspeaker makes it excellent for adoption to many applications, especially for directing sound to a particular area or specific audio location. Herein, we detail a novel electret loudspeaker that possesses various directivities and is based on various structures of spacers instead of having to use multichannel amplifiers and a complicated digital control system. In order to study the directivity of an electret loudspeaker based on an array structure which can be adopted for various applications, the horizontal and vertical polar directivity characteristics as a function of frequency were simulated by a finite-element analysis model. To validate the finite-element analysis model, the beam pattern of the electret loudspeaker was measured in an anechoic room. Both the simulated and experimental results are detailed in this article to validate the various assertions related to the directivity of electret cell-based smart speakers.
