In this paper, the behavior of composite stub columns under different loading conditions is studied using the finite element method. The accuracy of the theoretical method is validated by comparing with the experimental results. The behavior of specimen under different loading conditions is analyzed. Then, based on the finite element method, the comparison of mechanical behavior under three typical loading conditions is studied. The results show that the difference on bearing capacity will become larger with the increase of steel area to concrete area ratio. For the core concrete loaded specimen with lower steel area-to-concrete area ratio, whose bearing capacity is the lowest, but its ductility is very good. With the increase of the steel yield strength, the bearing capacity will increase evidently for specimen loaded simultaneously. While for the specimen with only core concrete loaded, the steel yield strength has little influence except increase of ductility.

AbstractThe actual load-bearing capacity of elements of a building system can be calculated by dynamic parameters, in particular by resonant frequency and compliance. The prerequisites for solving such a problem by the finite element method (FEM) are presented in the article. First, modern vibration tests demonstrate high accuracy in determination of these parameters, which reflects reliability of the diagnosis. Secondly, most modern computational complexes do not include a functional for calculating the load-bearing capacity of an element according to the input values of resonance frequencies. Thirdly, FEM is the basis for development of software tools for automating the computation process. The article presents the method for calculating flexural stiffness and moment of inertia of a beam construction system by its own frequencies. The method includes calculation algorithm realizing the finite element method.

As a parameter important ballistic, the research about polygonal and grooved barrels’ behavior has not been widely carried out. The pressures, velocities, stresses, deformations, and strains generated by the firing of 9 mm × 19 mm ammunition in weapons with polygonal barrels are analyzed numerically and experimentally, compared with those generated in pistols with grooved barrels. The Finite Element Method with equal boundary and loading conditions was used in both types of guns, specifying the actual materials of the projectile and the barrels. Subsequently, experimental tests were carried out on various weapons with 9 mm ammunitions of 115, 122, and 124 gr. The results show that the 9 mm bullet fired in a polygonal barrel undergoes a maximum deformation towards its exterior of 0.178 mm and interior of 0.158 mm, with stress up to 295.85 MPa. Compared with 0.025 mm maximum external deformation and 0.112 mm internal deformation of 9 mm projectiles fired in a grooved barrel, with stress up to 269.79 MPa. The deformation in the polygonal barrel is in a greater area, but the rifling impression left is less deep, making its identification more difficult. Although there are differences in the stresses and strains obtained, similar velocity and pressure parameters are achieved in the two types of barrels. This has application in the development and standardization of new kinds of barrels and weapons.

Bearings are critical components for the transmission of motion in machines. Automotive components, especially bearings, will wear out over a certain period of time because they are constantly subjected to high levels of stress and friction. Studies have proven that coatings can extend the lifespan of bearings. Hence, it is necessary to conduct studies on coatings for bearings, particularly the mechanical and wear properties of the coating material. This detailed study focused on the mechanical properties of single-coatings of TiN and TiAIN using the finite element method (FEM). The mechanical properties that can be obtained from nano-indentation experiments are confined to just the Young’s modulus and hardness. Therefore, nanoindentation simulations were conducted together with the finite element method to obtain more comprehensive mechanical properties such as the yield strength and Poisson’s ratio. In addition, various coating materials could be examined by means of these nanoindentation simulations, as well the effects of those parameters that could not be controlled experimentally, such as the geometry of the indenter and the bonding between the coating and the substrate. The simulations were carried out using the ANSYS Mechanical APDL software. The mechanical properties such as the Young’s modulus, yield strength, Poisson’s ratio and tangent modulus were 370 GPa, 19 GPa, 0.21 and 10 GPa, respectively for the TiAlN coating and 460 GPa, 14 GPa, 0.25 and 8 GPa, respectively for the TiN coating. The difference between the mechanical properties obtained from the simulations and experiments was less than 5 %.

The finite element method is used to compute the ultimate bearing capacity of a fictitious strip footing resting on the surface of c-φ weightless soils and a real strip footing buried in the c-φ soils with weight. In order to compare the numerical solutions with analytical solutions, the mainly existing analytical methods are briefly introduced and analyzed. To ensure the precision, most of analytical solutions are obtained by the corresponding formulas rather than table look-up. The first example shows that for c-φ weightless soil, the ABAQUS finite element solution is almost identical to the Prandtls closed solutions. Up to date, though no closed analytical solution is obtained for strip footings buried in c-φ soils with weight, the numerical approximate solutions obtained by the finite element method should be the closest to the real solutions. Apparently, the slip surface disclosed by the finite element method looks like Meyerhofs slip surface, but there are still some differences between the two. For example, the former having an upwarping curve may be another log spiral line, which begins from the water level of footing base to ground surface rather than a straight line like the latter. And the latter is more contractive than the former. Just because these reasons, Meyerhofs ultimate bearing capacity is lower than that of the numerical solution. Comparison between analytical and numerical solutions indicates that they have relatively large gaps. Therefore, finite element method can be a feasible and reliable method for computations of ultimate bearing capacity of practical strip footings.

This paper presents the modelling of the effects due to load conditions on the cervical section defined between C3 and C5 after a cervical plate implant is used to transfer the compression loads from C3 to C5 as C4 is considered to be damaged as a result of a medical condition. For this study, three different scenarios which describe the common motion condition of the head-neck system are modelled. The first one refers to the effect of the head weight over the considered section. In the second case the average patient weight is supported by C3 and C5 vertebrae. The last case simulates extreme loading conditions as vertebrae lesions occur when these are compressed beyond its failure limit; the ultimate stress to compression load failure value is applied to C3. The stability and mechanical behaviour of cervical plates under compression loading conditions is evaluated using the Finite Element Method (FEM). Cervical plates are useful to restore stability of the spine by improving the inter-vertebral fusion, particularly when the cervical body has been damaged. The results show that the stresses on the plate and fixation screws, for the three cases, are within the elastic range. Conversely, it has to be considered that cortical and trabecular bone densities vary from one patient to another due to a number of factors, which can influence the fixation conditions of the screws. In the case of this analysis, healthy bone conditions were considered and the obtained results show that the risk of the integrity of the screwimplant- vertebrae system is not compromised.

Penelitian numerik sebelumnya mengenai segmen Bata Keraton telah diperoleh kekuatan pikul segmen Bata Keraton adalah lebih kurang 1 ton/m2. Pada penelitian lain uji laboratorium dengan merangkai segmen Bata Keraton menjadi Balok Keraton diperoleh kekuatan pikul untuk bentang 2.0 meter berkisar antara 105-200 Kg dan bentang 3.0 meter berkisar antara 60-170 Kg. Penelitian menggunakan cara uji laboratorium membutuhkan material uji, struktur yang diuji dengan ukuran sebenarnya, sumber daya manusia untuk merakit dari bentuk segmen Bata Keraton tersebut menjadi bentuk Balok Keraton dengan besi tulangan serta membuat adukan spesi untuk merangkai Balok Keraton. Alternatif lain untuk mengetahui kapasitas pikul pada Balok Keraton adalah dengan melakukan analisa numerik menggunakan metode elemen hingga menggunakan perangkat lunak Autodesk Inventor Professional 2017. Pemodelan Balok Keraton untuk analisis numerik dibuat sama dengan kondisi Balok Keraton pada saat diuji di laboratorium dengan bentang 2 meter dan 3 meter. Pola pembebanan pada analisis numerik  dilakukan sama seperti pada uji laboratorium. Tujuan analisis numerik dengan metode elemen hingga ini adalah untuk mengetahui kapasitas pikul Balok Keraton dan membandingkan hasilnya dengan uji laboratorium. Hasil analisis pada penelitian ini diperoleh kapasitas pikul untuk Balok Keraton dengan bentang 2 meter menggunakan tulangan 8 mm dan 10 mm berkisar 80-110 Kg untuk 1 beban di tengah bentang dan untuk 2 beban berkisar 55-80 Kg/ perbeban, sedangkan untuk bentang 3 meter menggunakan tulangan 8 mm dan 10 mm diperoleh untuk 1 beban berkisar 65-85 Kg dan 2 beban berkisar 45-65 Kg/ perbeban. Hasil analisis numerik memberikan hasil kapasitas pikul beban lebih kecil 51-81 % dari pengujian di laboratorium. Previous numerical research on the Keraton Brick segment has obtained the strength of the Keraton Brick segment bearing weight is approximately 1 ton / m2. In another study the laboratory test by stringing the Bata Keraton segment into the Keraton Beam obtained the strength of the pikul for a span of 2.0 meters ranging from 105-200 kg and span of 3.0 meters ranging from 60-170 kg. Research using laboratory testing methods requires test materials, structures that are tested with actual size, human resources to assemble from the shape of the Keraton Bata segment into a Keraton Beam with reinforcing iron and make a specific mixture to assemble the Keraton Beams. Another alternative to determine the bearing capacity of the Keraton Beams is by conducting numerical analysis using the finite element method using Autodesk Inventor Professional 2017. The Keraton Beam Modeling for numerical analysis is made the same as the condition of the Keraton Beams when tested in a laboratory with a span of 2 meters and 3 meters . The pattern of loading in numerical analysis is done the same as in laboratory tests. The purpose of numerical analysis with finite element method is to determine the bearing capacity of the Keraton Beams and compare the results with laboratory tests. The results of the analysis in this study obtained bearing capacity for the KeratonBeams with a span of 2 meters using reinforcement 8 mm and 10 mm ranging from 80-110 kg for 1 load in the middle span and for 2 loads ranging from 55 to 80 kg / load, while for a span of 3 meters using 8 mm and 10 mm reinforcement obtained for 1 load ranging from 65 to 85 kg and 2 loads ranging from 45 to 65 kg / load. The results of numerical analysis give the result of a smaller load bearing capacity of 51-81% than in laboratory testing.

On the basis of modern numerical implementations of the finite element method the article presents the justification of the adequacy of the method of solving the problems of structures straining in their contact interaction with the elastic-plastic nonlinear soil medium. Compatible calculations of structures and nonlinear bases, which are described by modern mechanical and soil models within one problem is a significant technical problem. The solution of the assigned tasks is possible only within the framework of numerical methods, the most common of which is the finite element method (FEM). The construction of the computational finite element model raises many complex questions that require additional detailed study. In addition, the compliance with the state building norms and regulations is an important factor for further practical use. The use of numerical methods in the calculation of machines and structures, taking into account their interaction with the elastic-plastic medium is largely determined by the complexity or even impossibility of analytical calculation due to the complexity of structural schemes, heterogeneity of material features, uneven soil layers, implementation of step-by-step work execution technologies and so on. The combination of the latest achievements in the field of structural mechanics and soil mechanics is a promising direction for the development of effective approaches to building discrete models of space systems “structure-nonlinear base” for solving applied problems. The use of the developed method allows to significantly specify the structures stress state interacting with the soil base, and to significantly specify the impact on the calculated level of the base bearing capacity. Only the simultaneous consideration of the nonlinear resistance of the soil base together with the plasticity and the structure destruction in the numerical simulation of the foundation-shell load provided good agreement with the natural experiment data as to the type of the boundary state and the bearing capacity level.
