The finite element analysis of PCP involves three nonlinear of geometry, material and contact, and the load of PCP is diversity, leading to it difficult to establish the finite element model and calculate by finite method. This article takes GLB120-27 as an example, to establish 3D solid model of PCP by using SolidWorks; to determine M-R model constant of stator rubber by using the data of uniaxial tensile test: to separate the seal band from the stator chamber by using Boolean operation and set up contact pairs, to achieve the correct simulation of stator chamber fluid pressure; to correctly simulate the interference fit between stator and rotor through setting correlation parameters; to establish 3D finite element analysis model and verify the correctness by using the experiment data of hydraulic characteristics of PCP.

Three-dimensional finite element model of a bolted joint has been developed in the non-linear finite element code MSC.Marc and attempts were made to validate it by comparing results with those of experiments and other finite element. Issues in modeling the contact between the joint parts, which affect the accuracy and efficiency of the model, were presented. Experimental measurements of surface strains and load transfer ratio(LTR) were compared with results from finite element analysis. The results show that three-dimensional finite element model of bolted joint can produce results in close agreement with experiment. Three-dimensional effects such as bolt titling, seconding and through-thickness variations in stress and strain are well represented by such models. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was also used to study the effects of different parameters on the mechanical behaviour of single lap bolted joints. The results show that straight hole, small bolt diameter, and big hole pitch are selected first for bolted joint if other conditions allowed, and effect of bolt material on LTR of joint is small for small load. Interference and pre-stress should be strictly controlled for bolted joints in order to attain the best fatigue capability of lap joint.

Through the observation of photomicrographs of resin regions around Z-pin ends, the basic hypothesis of the elliptic configuration of resin regions in the X-cor sandwich were proposed. The parametric equations for describing the microscopic structures of resin regions were given. Then the geometric analysis model of X-cor sandwich was established. The finite element software ANSYS was used to establish the finite element model of the shear modulus and the shear modulus was calculated. The error range of finite element analysis is between ±10%. So the rationality of finite element model is verified and the finite element model can be used to forecast the shear modulus.

Abstract Background: ACDF is the main treatment of cervical disease. Adjacent Segment Degeneration (ASD) is the main complication of long-term follow-up of ACDF. we conduct a detailed study of ACDF by means of three-dimensional finite element analysis and find the effect of screw placement and location on the occurrence of ASD.Methods: The cervical computed tomography (CT) data (layer thickness of 0.625 mm) for a 30-year-old healthy male volunteer was collected. All the data were combined to create a C2-7 3D finite element model using Abaqus software. Based on the data and the actual surgical maneuver, a screw positioning model was established, in order to observe the cervical range of motion (ROM) with different positions of screw, as well as the pressure change of the adjacent segment intervertebral disc.Results: The proposed finite element model of cervical spine was effective, and ROM on all directions of C4-C6 segments changed after ACDF surgery. Under the same torque settings, compared with the control group, C2/3 segment rotational ROM increased; C2/3, C3/4 segments lateral flexion ROM also increased. Regarding the influence of screw positioning, it has limited influence on the ROM and The intervertebral disc pressure (IDP), and compared with different horizontal positions, different vertical positions imposed greater influence on the ROM and IDP. Conclusions: For ACDF surgery, positioning the screw at the anterior inferior part of the cervical vertebral body could provide more natural cervical ROM and the least IDP, while maintaining high biomechanical stability, and is more in line with human biomechanical requirements.

A three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis model is presented to study mixed-mode interfacial delamination for a pull-off test consisting of a thin film strip debonded from a glass substrate. Since the strain energy release rates of all three modes (Mode I, Mode II, and Mode III) and the mode mixities vary along the width of the debond front, prediction of the in-situ shape of the debond front remains an interesting and challenging topic. A cohesive zone model is incorporated into the three-dimensional finite element model to predict the interfacial crack propagation profile for the film deformation regime ranging from bending plate to stretching membrane. This three-dimensional finite element model is found to provide additional insights for interfacial delamination for the pull-off test.

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.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.

We propose a model to give us a method to investigate the characteristic three-dimensional directivity in an arbitrarily configured flexible electret-based loudspeaker. In recent years, novel electret loudspeakers have attracted much interest due to their being lightweight, paper thin, and possessing excellent mid- to high-frequency responses. Increasing or decreasing the directivity of an electret loudspeaker makes it excellent for adoption to many applications, especially for directing sound to a particular area or specific audio location. Herein, we detail a novel electret loudspeaker that possesses various directivities and is based on various structures of spacers instead of having to use multichannel amplifiers and a complicated digital control system. In order to study the directivity of an electret loudspeaker based on an array structure which can be adopted for various applications, the horizontal and vertical polar directivity characteristics as a function of frequency were simulated by a finite-element analysis model. To validate the finite-element analysis model, the beam pattern of the electret loudspeaker was measured in an anechoic room. Both the simulated and experimental results are detailed in this article to validate the various assertions related to the directivity of electret cell-based smart speakers.

The aim of this study was to compare the reduced stresses according to Huber’s hypothesis and the displacement pattern in the region of the facial skeleton using a tooth- or bone-borne appliance in surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME). In the current literature, the lack of updated reports about biomechanical effects in bone-borne appliances used in SARME is noticeable. Finite element analysis (FEA) was used for this study. Six facial skeleton models were created, five with various variants of osteotomy and one without osteotomy. Two different appliances for maxillary expansion were used for each model. The three-dimensional (3D) model of the facial skeleton was created on the basis of spiral computed tomography (CT) scans of a 32-year-old patient with maxillary constriction. The finite element model was built using ANSYS 15.0 software, in which the computations were carried out. Stress distributions and displacement values along the 3D axes were found for each osteotomy variant with the expansion of the tooth- and the bone-borne devices at a level of 0.5 mm. The investigation showed that in the case of a full osteotomy of the maxilla, as described by Bell and Epker in 1976, the method of fixing the appliance for maxillary expansion had no impact on the distribution of the reduced stresses according to Huber’s hypothesis in the facial skeleton. In the case of the bone-borne appliance, the load on the teeth, which may lead to periodontal and orthodontic complications, was eliminated. In the case of a full osteotomy of the maxilla, displacements in the buccolingual direction for all the variables of the bone-borne appliance were slightly bigger than for the tooth-borne appliance.
