The finite element model of a 0201 V-shaped, U-shaped, and UV-shaped single corrugated board corrugated boxes are established. The stress distribution and strain of the three types of waveform corrugated box to withstand the pressure of the top surface stacking are calculated. Three kinds of corrugated board compression are analyzed. Analysis of the structure shows that the V-shaped corrugated board has good rigidity, U-type corrugated box has good cushioning properties, and the range during which the UV type is a better choice. This is consistent with the experimental results, prove the validity of the finite element analysis, and provide data basis for optimization design of the shape of the corrugated board corrugated waveform.

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.

The concrete-filed square steel tube with inner I-shaped CFRP profiles short columns under bi-axial eccentric load were investigated by the finite element analysis software ABAQUS. The working mechanism of the composite columns which is under bi-axial eccentric load are investigated by using the stress distribution diagram of steel tube concrete and the I-shaped CFRP profiles. In this paper, the main parameters; eccentric ratio, steel ratio, steel yield strength, concrete compressive strength and CFRP distribution rate of the specimens were investigated to know the mechanical behavior of them. The interaction between the steel tube and the concrete interface at different characteristic points of the composite columns were analyzed. The results showed that the ultimate bearing capacity of the concrete-filed square steel tube with inner I-shaped CFRP profiles short columns under bi-axial eccentric load decrease with the increase of eccentric ratio, the ultimate bearing capacity of the composite columns increase with the increase of steel ratio, steel yield strength, concrete compressive strength and CFRP distribution rate. The contact pressure between the steel tube and the concrete decreased from the corner zone to the flat zone, and the contact pressure decreased from the mid-height cross section to other sections.

Today, the offshore oil and gas and wind power industry is a heavily regulated segment, and current standards have established restrictions which yield a very limited weather window for submarine cable installations due to experience with cable failure in bad weather. There are two main limiting factors in current practice during cable installation of an S-lay configuration: the design criterion for the minimum allowable radius of curvature in the touch down point and the avoidance of axial compression in the touch down zone. Accurate assessment of the cable integrity during offshore installation has drawn great attention and is related to the existing available analysis and design tools. The main purpose of this paper is to develop and propose a quick and easy custom-made analysis tool, which is able to export similar results as sophisticated finite element analysis software. The developed tool utilizes analytical equations of a catenary-type submarine structure extended to account for varying cross-sections with different weights and/or stiffnesses, as is the real practice. A comparative study is presented in this paper to evaluate the significance for the modeling of the “out of water” cable segment required for accurate safety factor quantification during a laying operation. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed tool are proven through a validation study comparing the results and the computational effort and time with commercial finite element analysis software. The analysis error in the case of not modeling the “out of water” cable part is significant, especially in shallow water areas, which proves the importance of using the proposed analysis tool.

In this article the finite element software was used to analyse the values for compressive strength of X-cor sandwich. During the analysis, the failure criteria and materials stiffness degradation rules of failure mechanisms were proposed. The failure processes and failure modes were also clarified. In the finite element model we used the distributions of failure elements to simulate the failure processes. Meanwhile the failure mechanisms of X-cor sandwich were explained. The finite element analysis indicates that the resin regions of Z-pin tips fail firstly and the Z-pins fail secondly. The dominant failure mode is the Z-pin elastic buckling and the propagation paths of failure elements are dispersive. Through contrast the finite element values and test results are consistent well and the error range is -7.6%~9.5%. Therefore the failure criteria and stiffness degradation rules are reasonable and the model can be used to predict the compressive strength of X-cor sandwich.

The choice of corrugated medium, flute size, combining adhesive, and linerboards can be varied to design a corrugated board with specific properties. In this paper, the nonlinear finite element analysis of the fluted corrugated sheet in the corrugated cardboard based on software SolidWorks2008 was investigated. The model of corrugated board with three or more flutes is reliable for stress and displacement measurement to eliminate the influence of the number of flutes in models. According to the static pressure test, with the increase of flute heightHor arc radius of flute, the maximum stress in the models decreased and the maximum displacement increased. However the maximum stress and maximum displacement in the models increase nonlinearly in the static pressure test with the increase of the flute angleθ. According to the drop test, with the increase of flute heightH, the maximum stress of goods on the upper board in the drop test decreased. The maximum stress of the model in the drop test decreases firstly and then increases with the increase of flute angle, and the optimal flute angleθcould be 60° for corrugated board. All the conclusions are consistent with experimental data or product standards.

The strength of unidirectional composites is often lower in compression than in tension, making compressive strength an especially important design criterion. The compressive strength is sensitive to the presence of notches and stress gradients. Finite element analysis was used to determine the strain gradient at a shallow circular notch in one edge of a 0 degree carbon/epoxy composite specimen, and to predict failure due to a localized buckling instability. The specimen was first analyzed with a "global" model of the full specimen, and displacements along a curve near the notch were stored and used as boundary conditions for a more detailed "submodel" in the immediate vicinity of the notch. At the onset of instability, a displaced plot of the finite element model shows oscillations in the transverse direction along the arc of the notch, just off the centerline, which is essentially at the same location where failure initiated in the test specimens. Results are compared with experimental values for failure stress and notch strain concentration for a range of loading rates and test temperatures.

The inlet and outlet of the aqueduct and the inverted siphon, standing a gradual transition linked to the channel, make water gradually change along the cross section of the gradual transition, to improve the water flow pattern. This paper aims to research the deformation of the gradual transition under the water load in static water conditions, to make ANSYS finite element analysis to the engineering gradual transition for preventing deformation, and finally to optimize the overall style design on the basis of its analysis. The developed techniques have been successfully used in designing the gradual transition of a practical aqueduct project. The results of this study on the gradual transition have strong theoretical and practical significance.
