Flange is the key part of the large vacuum container and its stiffness property affects the sealing effect and the stability of the container. Large flange welding process will have a greater impact on its structural strength. In view of the traditional way of forming large vacuum container flange has problems that processing and manufacturing are difficult, more material consumption, and poor stiffness, a new type of flange structure was support. The new design has hollow structure and the welding process of cover flange was simulated through the finite element method. After that, the stress and the deformation were analyzed and then the proper welding scheme was optimized.

Analytical models are developed for calculating temperatures, stresses and distortions resulting from the welding process. The models are implemented in finite element formulations and applied to a longitudinal butt weld. Nonuniform temperature transients are shown to result in the characteristic transverse bending distortions. Residual stresses are greatest in the weld metal and heat-affected zones, while the accumulated plastic strain is maximum at the interface of these two zones on the underside of the weldment.

We have developed a piezoelectric braided cord consisting of a conducting fiber yarn core, piezoelectric poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) fiber yarn and a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) middle sheath, and a conducting fiber outer shield (piezoelectric PLLA braided cord). Actually, we made various types of piezoelectric PLLA braided cords using Japanese traditional braiding method called as Kumihimo-gumi in Japanese. Furthermore, by optimization based on the calculation results for each type of piezoelectric PLLA Kumihimo-gumi obtained by the finite element method (FEM), we were able to develop a new type of piezoelectric PLLA braided cord with a sensing function for complex motion (piezoelectric PLLA Kumihimo-gumi). Finally, we developed a new wearable sensor for a selfie stick which is a popular smartphone accessory, fabricated from a piezoelectric PLLA Kumihimo-gumi.

This paper investigates the mechanical properties of a new type of hollow sphere structure. For this new type, the sphere shell is perforated by several holes in order to open up the inner sphere volume and surface. The mechanical behaviour of perforated sphere structures under large deformations and strains in a primitive cubic arrangement is numerically evaluated by using the finite element method for different hole diameters and different joining techniques.

The finite element method was used to study tangential roller method impact on the stability of circular saw blade. Using 30 ° cyclic symmetric model is analyzed. The results show that the tension of the saw blade is not the same, and tensioning effect is different, when the tangential roller pressure is not same. At the same time, after tangential roller, the face run out of saw blade is small, which show that the smoothness of tangential roller is better.

The influence of structural strength on the lining moment of tunnel should be properly evaluated in order to meet the engineering demand in loess area. It is essential to analyze and evaluate the lining moment of tunnel by means of the finite element method under the condition of the different local weakening of structural strength in loess. Firstly, some researches on the structural strength of loess tunnel are reviewed. Then, some different cases of the local weakening of structural strength in loess are analyzed in this paper. Numerical results not only indicate that the lining moment of tunnel tends to change obviously with the different local weakening of the structural strength, but also reveal that the weakening location of structural strength has important effect on the distribution and redistribution of the lining moment of tunnel.

This paper describes a finite element structural analysis model and determines analysis methods appropriate for determining the stability of the mast of a crane. This analysis model allows various analysis approaches to be applied to the conditions affecting the construction of a large gantry crane in order to ensure the stability of the mast of the crane. The finite element method is used as a way to construct an analytical model that can help ensure the stability of the mast in two stages. The model is used in a two-stage analytical process that takes into account the conditions of the model. In this way, the model can be used to judge the stability of the mast. By allowing variation in the analysis approach used for the crane mast, the analysis model may be changed if the conditions of the one-girder gantry crane require. Designers may apply this method for the active analysis of the stability of a crane mast.

In the paper, the influence of friction on temperature distribution in the friction spot stir welding process of titanium grade 2 is analysed. It is assumed that the friction coefficient may be a function of temperature or the relative speed of the contact areas. The finite element method is used in the numerical calculations. Temperature distributions and temperature versus time for the analysed friction coefficients are presented. The results also show that applying a proper frictional model is very essential for the sake of heat generation during friction stir welding.

This paper presents the results of a study on a joint slope deformation affecting the western slope of the GuangYang highway (YangQuan, China). Fieldwork identified the ongoing deformational process and assisted in defining its mechanisms, evolution and controlling factors. Here we discuss how to use limit equilibrium methods to calculate the behavior of slopes and to use the finite element analysis to evaluate the stability, displacements of slopes and soil-slope stabilization interaction. The finite element method with shear strength reduction (SSR) technique is explained in Phase2D. This method is effective for the prediction of the stability of slope. Based on numerical comparisons between the limit equilibrium methods and finite element method, it is suggested that the finite element method with SSR technique is a reliable and maybe unique approach to evaluate the slope stability. The paper also took into account effectiveness of the large rain and seismic load. The results of the numerical analysis are consistent with the observed slope surface evidence.

Optimal fixture involves fixture layout and clamping force determination. It is critical to ensure the machining accuracy of workpiece. In this paper, the clamping process is analyzed with the consideration of cutting forces and frictions using the finite element method. Then the fixture layout and clamping force are optimized by minimizing the workpiece deformation via a Genetic Algorithm (GA). Subsequently, linear programming method is used to estimate the stability of workpiece. It is shown through an example that the proposed method is proved to be efficient. The optimization result is not only far superior to the experiential one, but also the total optimization time can be reduced significantly.
