A finite-element mechanical model is established aiming at the features of telescopic suspension arm of dirt-removing crane in practice, such as that there exist many compound modes, the range of variation in lifting weight is big, etc. The strength, stiffness and stability of suspension arm is calculated and optimized based on ANSYS (software). The result of conventional design, which is checked and revised, tallies with the measured value relatively and may provide valuable reference for the design of suspension arm, which is to some extent significant to prolonging the fatigue life of cranes.

One of the problems in installing cableway is the estimation of the tension. The mechanical model of coastal shore-to-ship transmission cableway was analyzed with catenary algorithm, compared with the finite element analysis of ANSYS software. The result shows that the tension and its changing amplitude are both gradually decreasing with the increase of the deflection. And, if the deflection is determined, the tension is decreasing with the increase of cableway’s span. These analysis results and conclusions can give the basis to safe installation of the cableway.

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.

Conventional methods of design to be completed ordinary hydraulic transmission gear gearbox design, but for such a non-planet-rule entity, and the deformation of the planet-gear contact stress will have a great impact on the planet gear, it will be very difficult According to conventional design. In this paper, ANSYS software to the situation finite element analysis, the planetary gear to simulate modeling study.

According to the situation that the dual-friction drums on the new type towing machine lack stress analysis when designed, the safety is difficult to test and verify. The pull of wire rope in various positions was derived and calculated, so both compressive stress and tangent friction force generated by the pull of wire rope were calculated. The result made by ANSYS software demonstrates the safety of the left drum which suffers from larger loads, structure improvement measures are put forward for the drum.

Purpose This paper aims to present the fatigue life behaviour of upper arm suspension. The main objectives are to predict the fatigue life of the component and to identify the critical location. In this analysis, three aluminium alloys were used for the suspension, and their fatigue life was compared to select the suitable material for the suspension arm. Design/methodology/approach CAD model was prepared using Solid Works software, and finite element analysis was done using ANSYS 14.0 software by importing the Parasolid file to ANSYS. The model is subjected to loading and boundary conditions; the authors consider a vertical force with constant amplitude applied at the bushing that connected to the tire, the others two bushing that connected to the body of the car are constraint. Tetrahedral elements given enhanced results as compared to other types of elements; therefore, the elements (TET 10) are used. The maximum principal stress was considered in the linear static analysis, and fatigue analysis was done using strain life approach. Findings Life and damage are evaluated and the critical location was considered at node 63,754. From the fatigue analysis, aluminium alloys 7175-T73 (Al 90%-Zn 5.6%-Mg 2.5% -… …) and 2014-T6 (Al 93.5%-Cu 4.4%-Mg 0.5%… …) present a similar behaviour as compared to 6061-T6 (Al 97.9%-Mg 1.0%-Si 0.6%… … .); in this case of study, these lather are considered to be the materials of choice to manufacture the suspension arms; but 7175-T73 aluminium alloys remain the material with a better resistance to fatigue. Originality/value By the finite element analysis method and assistance of ANSYS software, it is able to analyse the different car components from varied aspects such as fatigue, and consequently save time and cost. For further research, the experimental works under controlled laboratory conditions should be done to determine the validation of the result from the software analysis.

Railcar wheels and axles belong to the most critical components in railway vehicles. The service conditions of railway vehicles have been more severe in recent years due to speed-up. Therefore, a more precise evaluation of railcar wheel life and safety has been requested. Wheel/rail contact fatigue and thermal cracks due to braking are two major mechanisms of the railcar wheel failure. One of the main sources influencing on the contact zone failure is residual stress. The residual stress in wheels formed during heat treatment in manufacturing changes in the process of braking. Thus the fatigue life of railcar wheels should be estimated by considering both thermal stress and rolling contact. Also, the effect of residual stress variation due to manufacturing process and braking process should be included in simulating contact fatigue behavior. In this paper, an evaluation procedure for the contact fatigue life of railcar wheels considering the effects of residual stresses due to heat treatment, braking and repeated contact load is proposed. And the cyclic stressstrain history for fatigue analysis is simulated by finite element analysis for the moving contact load.

Background: Treatment of patients with severe tooth wear is complex. Treatments involving more tooth structure removal may be inappropriate for patients who have already lost a significant amount of dental tissue due to erosion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two modified occlusal veneer preparations on the fatigue resistance and stress distribution of bonded occlusal veneers, in comparison to the conventional preparation design. Methods: A total of 54 human mandibular molars were distributed into three equal groups of n=18 teeth each, according to the occlusal veneer preparation design, where group I (conventional design) received Planar occlusal veneer preparation, group II (occlusal veneer with circumferential finish line) and group III (occlusal veneer with intracoronal cavity extension). For the manufacture of all the veneers using machinable zirconium lithium silicate glass ceramic blocks, a computer aided design/manufacturing system was used. A dual cure, adhesive resin cement was used to bond all occlusal veneers to corresponding prepared teeth. After storage in water for one week, step-stress (accelerated life testing was performed for all samples. Finite element analysis was carried out as well to evaluate the distribution of stresses. Results: The highest values (mean±SD) were recorded for group II (890.57±211.53 N) followed by Group I values (883.54±135.91 N), while the lowest values were recorded for Group III (875.57±143.52 N). The difference between groups was statistically non-significant as indicated by ANOVA (P=0.9814>0.05). The stress values were generally found to be low and their distribution differed among groups. Conclusion: Group I and II showed comparable fatigue resistance and more favourable failure behaviour when compared to Group III based on the fractographic and 3D finite element analyses.
