Deflection and stress of different cross section forms and its value are compared by finite element analysis of timberwork design model under the impact loading. The result indicates that decreasing the size of cross section or changing the section shape can effectively avoid the model too heavy and conservative design. In the case of horizontal loads applied on first floor, strengthening the column of first floor obviously reduces the deflection of model and improves the lateral stiffness. Keeping the column size of the first floor and choosing I-section significantly reduce the overall weight on condition of meeting the bearing capacity and stability, it also make the material higher utilization.

The untwist of rotating blades in turbomachines treated so far in the literatare simply as a pure elasticity problem is generalized and formulated rigorously as a problem of aeroelasticity by variational principles (VPs) and generalized VP (GVP). It takes into account not only the centrifugal force, but also the aeroelastic interaction between blades and the flow as well as the elastic distortion of the cross section shape of blades, assuming the material to be linearly elastic but nonisotropic. Thus, a new rigorous theoretical basis for the finite element analysis of blade untwist in turbomachine design is provided.

Based on the finite element analysis software ANSYS/LS-DYNA, this paper numerically analyzed the dynamic performance of MTCCCs with different cross sections under blast load, followed by the study and comparison on the differences of the detonation wave propagation and failure modes between the columns in circular cross section and square cross section. The results show: The blast resistant performance of the circular component is more superior than the square component for its better aerodynamic shape that can greatly reduce the impact of the detonation wave on the column; The main difference of the failure modes between the circular and square cross-sectional components under blast load lies in the different failure mode of the outer steel tube. The simulation results in this paper can provide some references for the blast resisting design of MTCCCs.

This document mainly studies the cross-section shape of the box-type telescopic boom. First, the basic structure of the telescopic boom was analyzed, and then, the finite element analysis of the quadrilateral and hexagonal telescopic booms were conducted based on ABAQUS with the same section height, width, thickness, as well as the same constraints and loads condition. The stress-strain diagram was obtained. Comparing to the quadrilateral boom, the hexagonal telescopic boom loads higher, weights lighter, and performs better.

Abstract Advances in tire construction have led to major increases in tire life over the past twenty years, mainly by increasing the lateral stiffness and thus reducing slip during cornering. However, this general increase in tire life has tended to highlight the problem of uneven wear. In the present paper, three new experimental techniques are described which have been developed to study treadwear distributions. These techniques are evaluated and their results compared with a finite element analysis. Taken together, they indicate some of the causes of uneven wear and may be used to identify tire design and service features which contribute to uneven wear.

In this study, detailed finite element analysis was conducted to examine the seismic performance of square and circular hollow steel braces under axial cyclic loading. Finite element models of braces were constructed using ABAQUS finite element analysis (FEA) software and validated with experimental results from previous papers to expand the specimen’s matrix. The influences of cross-section shape, slenderness ratio, and width/diameter-to-thickness ratio on hysteretic behavior and compressive-tensile strength degradation were studied. Simulation results of parametric studies show that both square and circular hollow braces have a better cyclic performance with smaller slenderness and width/diameter-to-thickness ratios, and their compressive-tensile resistances ratio significantly decreases from cycle to cycle after the occurrence of the global buckling of braces.

Put the finite element analysis of line tower coupling modeling to the collapse of a 110 kV line straight-line tower, study the effect of strong wind on transmission tower and wire. The results show that under the action of strong wind, the material specification selected by the part of the rods on the type of tower is lower, cross section is smaller, the principal material of tower will be instable and flexional under the compression, resulting in tower collapsed.

A method of carrying out a combined axial walking and lateral buckling assessment for a flexible flowline has been developed using finite element analysis. The method overcomes limitations of screening assessments which could be inconclusive when applied either to a flexible flowline on an undulating seabed with transverse gradients or to one that buckles during hydrotest. Flexible flowlines that were to be surface-laid on a seabed with longitudinal undulations and transverse gradients were assessed using the method. The flexible flowlines were simulated in their as-laid state, and the simulation incorporated hydrotest pressure and the pressure & temperature gradients and transients associated with multiple start-ups. The objective was to quantify the axial walking and lateral slip tendency of the flexible flowlines and the impact that walking might have on the connected end structures. The lateral buckle locations predicted by finite element analysis were compared to a post-hydrotest survey and the radius of curvature from analysis was compared to the minimum bend radius of the flexible.
