Take a 1000kV Cup-Type tubular steel test tower as research object, and it is the first one of this type used in heavy ice area. Research on the assembly load’s affect to tower structure was made. The process of assembling tower using suspend guyed pole was analyzed with Finite Element Method. Structures overhanging the tower body, such as cross arms and bracket of earth wire, could be assembled in different ways. The different affect to the built structure corresponding to different assembly method was researched. The objective is to make the deformation of the structure minimum. It was indicated that, reinforce the K-joint by cable and the deformation of structure reduced obviously. The reinforce method is simple and efficient, and ensure the cross arm assembling smoothly. It is avail to improve the assemble quality of the whole structure.

Abstract The paper describes the intention of the authors to determine whether it is possible to predict relative belt edge endurance for radial passenger car tires using the finite element method. Three groups of tires with different belt edge configurations were tested on a fleet test in an attempt to validate predictions from the finite element results. A two-dimensional, axisymmetric finite element analysis was first used to determine if the results from such an analysis, with emphasis on the shear deformations between the belts, could be used to predict a relative ranking for belt edge endurance. It is shown that such an analysis can lead to erroneous conclusions. A three-dimensional analysis in which tires are modeled under free rotation and static vertical loading was performed next. This approach resulted in an improvement in the quality of the correlations. The differences in the predicted values of various stress analysis parameters for the three belt edge configurations are studied and their implication on predicting belt edge endurance is discussed.

Abstract The paper considers the failure study of concrete structures loaded by the pressure wave due to detonation of an explosive material. In the paper two numerical methods are used and their efficiency and accuracy are compared. There are the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and the Finite Element Method (FEM). The numerical examples take into account the dynamic behaviour of concrete slab or a structure composed of two concrete slabs subjected to the blast impact coming from one side. The influence of reinforcement in the slab (1, 2 or 3 layers) is also presented and compared with a pure concrete one. The influence of mesh density for FEM and the influence of important parameters in SPH like a smoothing length or a particle distance on the quality of the results are discussed in the paper

The design of the Gravity retaining wall (GRW) is a trial and error process. Prevailing conditions of backfill are used to determine the profile of GRW, which proceeds with the selection of provisional dimensions. The optimum section is having factors of safety of stability higher than the allowable values and stresses in the cross-section smaller than permissible. The cross-section is designed to fulfill conditions of stability, subjected to very low stresses. The strength of the material, which is provided in the cross-section remains unutilized. A computer program is developed to find stresses at various locations on the cross-section of GRW using the Finite Element Method (FEM). A discontinuity in the form of a rectangular cavity is introduced in the cross-section of GRW to optimize it. The rectangular cavity is introduced in the cross-section of GRW at different locations. An attempt is made in this paper to find the stress distribution in the gravity retaining wall cross-section and to study the effect of the rectangular cavity on the stress distribution. Two cases representing different locations are considered to study the effect of the cavity. The location of the cavity is distinguished by the parameter w, the effects of cases with varied was 0.2305 (Case-I) and 0.1385 (Case-II) are observed. The cavity, which is provided not only makes the wall structurally efficient but also economically feasible.

Computational simulation is widely used in companies to perform analysis and improve the quality of products and projects. Most of these analyses are carried out using software that uses the Finite Element Method, which allows to obtain answers to numerous engineering problems. In this study, two examples of application to the study of tunnels of the Finite Element Method using the Geostru Software "GFAS - Geotechnical F.E.M. Analysis System" are proposed. The case of a tunnel excavated inside a granite rock massif was analyzed, first determining the state of stresses in the cavity contour through a theoretical method and comparing these results with those obtained in the software. Then, by means of finite element modeling, the settlements induced by the excavation were determined. Finally, the problem of tunnel excavation in a viscoplastic rock mass is presented and the authors propose a comparison of the analytical and numerical method.

Osteosarcoma, as the most frequent bone tumor cases, can be found in the pelvis bone. Within the pelvis, the ilium is the most common location for osteosarcoma, followed by the acetabulum and then the ischium. Surgery of pelvis is difficult and the reconstruction is complicated mainly due to the geometry complexity and also the weight support function of the pelvis. Endoprosthesis of the ilium is therefore designed to increase the quality of life of the patient. In this study, the iliac implant is designed based on the natural geometry of the ilium, and the size is modified to fit the morphometry of the Eastern Asian. A finite element method (FEM) is proposed as a basic study in material selection. Titanium and its alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) are studied as the potential candidate for the proposed implant while the finite analysis of the bone was also included. As a preliminary study, in this FEM, only the static load is given, each material is assumed to be isotropic and the contacts were considered bonded. FEM in this study is expected to give a better understanding of the stress distribution, and to optimize the selection of materials.

Reconstruction of the Main Cylinder of Carding Machine-Optimization of Dimensions with the Use of the Finite Element MethodThe following paper presents the solution to the problem of searching the best shape - structural form of the bottoms and optimal dimensions of the main cylinder of the carding machine with consideration to the criterion of minimal deflection amplitude. The ANSYS package of the Finite Element Method has been used for the analysis. Polak-Ribery conjugate gradient method has been applied for searching the optimal solution, basing on the parametric model of the cylinder written with the use ofAnsys Parametric Design Language.As a result of the performed analyses, reduction of maximum deflection value at approximately 80% has been obtained. Optimal cylinder dimensions enable application of a new textile technology - microfibre carding and improvement in the quality of traditional carding technology of woollen and wool-like fibres.

ABSTRACTSome analytical formulas are presented for torsional analysis of homogeneous hollow tubes. The cross section is supposed to consist of straight and circular segments. Thicknesses of segments of the cross section can be different. The problem is formulated in terms of Prandtl's stress function. The derived approximate formulas are so simple that computations can be carried out by a simple calculator. Several examples are presented to validate the formulation. The accuracy of formulas is verified by accurate finite element method solutions. It is seen that the error of the formulation is small and the formulas can be used for analysis of thin to moderately thick-walled hollow tubes.

Health, comfort and the job efficiency of the crew of offshore platforms are factors deeply related to the acoustic quality of the places. The acoustic project of platforms include the noise prediction. It is a complex problem, because it involves several noise sources and receptors. Numeric methods such as Boundary Element Method and Finite Element Method are not still fully satisfactory for use in complex acoustic problems. This way, semi-empiric formulas and statistics methods are used in the prediction calculations. This paper describes some aspects of the Petrobras experience, along the years, in the performance of acoustic projects in offshore platforms. Finally, in this work, some important decisions are discussed for improvement of the acoustic quality of those operational units.
