The CAD software was used to establish 3D model of frame of dump truck, and the finite element model was established through Hyper Mesh. The stress distributions of the frame in vertical accelerating, turning, twisting and climbing conditions were computed through finite element software when the dump truck was loaded 80t. The result is consistent with the actual situation of the frame, which proved that the approach of finite element analysis is feasible. And we proposed the improved method of the frame according to finite element results.

Through the analysis of micro-structures of Z-pin ends the basic hypothesis of elliptic configuration of the resin regions around Z-pin ends were proposed. The finite element model of the tensile modulus of X-cor sandwich was established and the finite element software ANSYS was used in the computation. The effects of Z-pin angle, diameter and density on the tensile modulus of X-cor sandwich were analyzed. Via the analysis of finite element model, the influencing trends of parameters of X-cor sandwich on the tensile modulus are achieved and the error range is ±10%. So the rationality of the proposed finite element model is verified and the finite element model can be used to forecast the tensile modulus of X-cor sandwich.

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.

The 3D-model of lift transporter frame was assembled by the parts, whose 3D-models were established under UG. And the finite element model was achieved in ANSYS/ Workbench. Four different analysis conditions were developed and the static properties of the frame in various conditions were analyzed by ANSYS/Workbench. The analysis results indicate that the design of the special frame is feasible.

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.

In order to study the static and dynamical characteristics of the crankshaft, ANSYS software was used to carry out the corresponding calculations. The entity model of the crankshaft was established by UG software firstly, and then was imported into ANSYS software for meshing, and then the finite element model of the crankshaft was constructed. The crankshaft satisfied the requirement of stiffness and strength through static analysis. The top six natural frequencies and corresponding shapes were acquired through modal analysis, and the every order critical rotating speed of the crankshaft was calculated. The fatigue life of the crank was calculated by fatigue module of ANSYS software finally. These results offered the theoretical guidance for designing, manufacturing and repairing the crankshaft.

Abstract A finite element analysis (FEA) model of the interaction of a nut and bolt was used to investigate the effects of sliding, friction, and yielding in a bolted connection. The finite element model was developed as a two-dimensional, axisymmetric system, which allowed the study of axial and radial loading and displacements. This model did not permit evaluation of hoop or torsional effects such as tightening or the helical thread form. Results presented in this paper include the distribution of load between consecutive threads, the relative sliding along thread faces, and the stress distribution and regions of yielding in the model. Finally, a comparison to previous, linear analysis work and to published experimental data is made to conclude the paper.

The finite element model of the concrete mixing truck’s frame is builded by using shell as basic element, and the process of building the finite element model of the balance suspension is introduced in detail. Based on this, frame’s stress on five types of typical operating conditions are calculated by using the finite element analysis software, NASTRAN, and results can show the dangerous position and the maximum stress position on the frame. The analysis result on structural strength can provide the basis for further improving the frame structure.

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.

In this paper, the clamping unit of a two-platen injection molding machine was modeled by Pro/ENGINEER, and was imported to Altair HyperWorks. In HyperMesh module, the finite element model was set up, ANSYS has been used in the finite element analysis of the clamping unit and the deformation and stress results were obtained. Based on the topology optimization of HyperWorks/OptiStruct, recommendations to improve the structure of the clamping mechanism are presented; the results showed that less material was used while its performance was maintained.
