When strong exercise on human being body, respectively, under knees 30°, 60°,90°, using PRO/E5.0 software to establish the transverse patella fracture and anti-shearing force patella claws 3D models, then the two structure models were assembled and imported into ABAQUS10.1 software to establish the finite element model of patellar fracture fixed within patella claw, and analyzed the mechanical performance in perforce finite element model. Under the same boundary conditions, the maximum displacement and deformation of each components were different at every flexion angle. Compared with anti-shearing force patella claw and AO tensile force girdle, the patella claw with stronger resistance to tension and anti-shearing force was more stable. Deformation and displacement of patella claw in accordance with biomechanical research result that is needed by clinical. Its stability will satisfy clinical requirements for functional exercise.

Torsional Analysis

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) beam finite element model was developed to investigate the torsional stiffness of a twisted steel-reinforced cord-rubber belt structure. The present 3D beam element takes into account the coupled extension, bending, and twisting deformations characteristic of the complex behavior of cord-rubber composite structures. The extension-twisting coupling due to the twisted nature of the cords was also considered in the finite element model. The results of torsional stiffness obtained from the finite element analysis for twisted cords and the two-ply steel cord-rubber belt structure are compared to the experimental data and other alternate solutions available in the literature. The effects of cord orientation, anisotropy, and rubber core surrounding the twisted cords on the torsional stiffness properties are presented and discussed.

The Relationship

This paper shows the finite element simulation of a representative specimen from the firewall section in the AEROMARMI ESTELA M1 aircraft. This specimen is manufactured in glass and carbon / epoxy laminates. The specimen is subjected to a load which direction and magnitude are determined by a previous dynamic loads study [10], taking into account the maximum load factor allowed by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) for utilitarian aircrafts [11]. A representative specimen is manufactured with the same features of the firewall. Meanwhile a fix is built in order to introduce the load directions on the representative specimen. The relationship between load and displacement is plotted for this representative specimen, whence the maximum displacement at the specific load is obtained, afterwards it is compared with the finite element model, which is modified in its laminate thicknesses in order to decrease the deviation error; subsequently this features could be applied to perform the whole firewall analysis in a future model [10].

The paper presents results for finite element analysis of full-sized girth-welded specimens of line pipe and compares these results with the behavior exhibited by test specimens subjected to constant axial force, internal pressure and monotonically increasing curvatures. Recommendations for the ‘best’ type of analytical finite element model are given. Comparisons between the behavior predicted analytically and the observed behavior of the experimental test specimens are made. The mechanism of wrinkling is explained and the evolution of the deformed configurations for different wrinkling modes is examined. It is concluded that the analytical tools now available are sufficiently reliable to predict the behavior of pipe in a manner that was not previously possible and that this should create a new era for the design and assessment of pipelines if the technology is properly exploited by industry.

Abstract Today, gear designs with asymmetric tooth profiles offer essential solutions in reducing tooth root stresses of gears. Although numerical, analytical, and experimental studies are carried out to calculate the bending stresses in gears with asymmetric tooth profiles a standard or a simplified equation or empirical statement has not been encountered in the literature. In this study, a novel bending stress calculation procedure for gears with asymmetric tooth profiles is developed using both the DIN3990 standard and the finite element method. The bending stresses of gears with symmetrical profile were determined by the developed finite element model and was verified by comparing the results with the DIN 3990 standard. Using the verified finite element model, by changing the drive side pressure angle between 20° and 30° and the number of teeth between 18 and 100, 66 different cases were examined and the bending stresses in gears with asymmetric profile were determined. As a result of the analysis, a new asymmetric factor was derived. By adding the obtained asymmetric factor to the DIN 3390 formula, a new equation has been derived to be used in tooth bending stresses of gears with asymmetric profile. Thanks to this equation, designers will be able to calculate tooth bending stresses with high precision in gears with asymmetric tooth profile without the need for finite element analysis.

The Finite-Element Analysis (FEA) is a prediction methodology that facilitates product designers produced the part design with manufacturing focused. With the similar advantages, manufacturing engineers are capable of build the first actual car model from the new production Draw Die. This approach has eliminated the requirement to manufacture the prototype model from soft tool parts and soft tool press die. However, the prediction accuracy of FEA is a major topic of research work in automotive sector's practitioners and academia as current accuracy level is anticipated at 60%. The objective of works is to assess the prediction accuracy on deformation results from mass production stamped parts. The Finite-element model is developed from the CAD data of the production tools. Subsequently, finite-element model for production tools is discretized with shell elements to avoid computation errors in the simulation process. The sheet blank material with 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm thickness is discredited by shell (2D modeling) and solid elements (3D modeling) respectively. The input parameters for the simulation model for both elements are attained from the actual setup at Press Machine and Production Tool. The analysis of deformation and plastic strain are performed for various setup parameters. Finally, the deformation characteristic such as Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) and thinning are compared for all simulated models.

Based on the tandem sealing structure at the end of the shaft,a finite element model of rubber O-rings has been established and the sealing performance of rubber O-ring has been analyzed. There is an un-uniform compression among these O-rings which lead to the sealing failure. Under different friction factors, several groups of the rubber O-rings have been analyzed, finding that the friction factor is the reason of un-uniform compression. The effect of different average compression rate has been investigated, which has been integrated in the sealing criteria for the tandem O-rings, providing a reference for the optimization of tandem sealing structure at the end of the shaft. According to the sealing criteria for a single O-ring, the sealing criteria for the tandem O-rings is built.
