As the important airborne equipment of casualty aeromedical evacuation, the structure design of aeromedical evacuations stretcher bracket not only has to meet the mounting interface in the civil aviation aircraft and meet the medical rescue requirements during the casualty evacuation, and also has the good bearing capacity of limit load. A structure design of frame-type aeromedical evacuations stretcher bracket is presented in this paper. Based on the finite element method (FEM), the ultimate bearing capacity of the bracket attachment of this structure is analyzed with nonlinear mechanics, and then the intensity and stiffness under the case combinations of limit load are simulated and analyzed to ensure the good security and reliability of the stretcher bracket during the casualty aeromedical evacuation.

This paper presents the state of the art report on available approaches to predicting the ultimate bearing capacity of two-layered soils. The article discusses three most popular methods, including the classical method, application of the finite element method and artificial neural network. Various approaches based on these three powerful tools are studied and their methodologies are discussed.

The finite element method is used to compute the ultimate bearing capacity of a fictitious strip footing resting on the surface of c-φ weightless soils and a real strip footing buried in the c-φ soils with weight. In order to compare the numerical solutions with analytical solutions, the mainly existing analytical methods are briefly introduced and analyzed. To ensure the precision, most of analytical solutions are obtained by the corresponding formulas rather than table look-up. The first example shows that for c-φ weightless soil, the ABAQUS finite element solution is almost identical to the Prandtls closed solutions. Up to date, though no closed analytical solution is obtained for strip footings buried in c-φ soils with weight, the numerical approximate solutions obtained by the finite element method should be the closest to the real solutions. Apparently, the slip surface disclosed by the finite element method looks like Meyerhofs slip surface, but there are still some differences between the two. For example, the former having an upwarping curve may be another log spiral line, which begins from the water level of footing base to ground surface rather than a straight line like the latter. And the latter is more contractive than the former. Just because these reasons, Meyerhofs ultimate bearing capacity is lower than that of the numerical solution. Comparison between analytical and numerical solutions indicates that they have relatively large gaps. Therefore, finite element method can be a feasible and reliable method for computations of ultimate bearing capacity of practical strip footings.

In this paper,the ultimate bearing capacity of unstifened overlapped CHS K-joints is investigated by using the finite element method with influence of weld and non-weld on joint ultimate capacity under brace different bearing capacity. with angle of chord and brace is increasing ultimate capacity to lowed more and more small,which hidden weld is non-weld by one brace is pulled and other is pressured. ultimate capacity no influence to hidden welded and non-welded by both brace is pulled.

Based on static Melan shakedown theorem, an elastic-plastic finite element method is presented to analyze the shakedown of saturated undrained foundation due to varied combined loadings, and the shakedown loadings under different patterns of loading combination are compared. At the same time, a comparison is given between the shakedown failure envelop under varied combined loading and the failure envelop of ultimate bearing capacity under static equilibrium, and it is found that the shakedown loading under varied combined loading is less than the ultimate bearing capacity under combined loading.

In this paper, the behavior of composite stub columns under different loading conditions is studied using the finite element method. The accuracy of the theoretical method is validated by comparing with the experimental results. The behavior of specimen under different loading conditions is analyzed. Then, based on the finite element method, the comparison of mechanical behavior under three typical loading conditions is studied. The results show that the difference on bearing capacity will become larger with the increase of steel area to concrete area ratio. For the core concrete loaded specimen with lower steel area-to-concrete area ratio, whose bearing capacity is the lowest, but its ductility is very good. With the increase of the steel yield strength, the bearing capacity will increase evidently for specimen loaded simultaneously. While for the specimen with only core concrete loaded, the steel yield strength has little influence except increase of ductility.

AbstractThe actual load-bearing capacity of elements of a building system can be calculated by dynamic parameters, in particular by resonant frequency and compliance. The prerequisites for solving such a problem by the finite element method (FEM) are presented in the article. First, modern vibration tests demonstrate high accuracy in determination of these parameters, which reflects reliability of the diagnosis. Secondly, most modern computational complexes do not include a functional for calculating the load-bearing capacity of an element according to the input values of resonance frequencies. Thirdly, FEM is the basis for development of software tools for automating the computation process. The article presents the method for calculating flexural stiffness and moment of inertia of a beam construction system by its own frequencies. The method includes calculation algorithm realizing the finite element method.
