In this paper, the construction treatment technology for the transition section connecting road and culvert founded on the high salt saturated fine sand is carried out, in which an actual project of a new local railway from XieTieshan to North Hobson in China is the background. Meanwhile,the field monitoring and finite element analysis of the settlement law of the transition section are carried out under different load conditions. The results are of referential significance to the settlement law and design of roadbed-culvert transitional section in high salinity regions.

In this paper, the procedure for the strength evaluation of the piping system installed on liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers is discussed. A procedure that accounts for the ship’s wave load and hull motion acceleration (as well as the deformation due to the thermal expansion and contraction experienced by the hull during seafaring operations) is presented. The load due to the temperature and self-weight of the piping installed on the deck is also considered. Various operating and load conditions of the LNG piping system are analyzed. Stress analysis is performed by combining various conditions of sustained, occasional, and expansion loads. Stress is assessed using finite element analysis based on beam elements that represent the behavior of the piping. The attributes of the piping system components (such as valves, expansion joints, and supports) are represented in the finite element model while CAESAR-II, a commercial software is used for finite element analysis. Component modeling, load assignment, and load combinations are presented to evaluate pipe stresses under various load conditions. An evaluation model is selected for the piping arrangement of LNG and the evaluated stress is compared with the allowable stress defined by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).

The inverted umbrella aerator is the key equipment of biological wastewater treatment technology, which have the effects of oxygenation, mixing and plug-flow. the design and optimization of the mixing impeller is most important to the efficiency of oxygenation.In this paper, the solid modeling and finite element analysis and optimal design of aerator blades was made based on the study of the oxygenation mechanism.Firstly, the working process of the blades have been studied through solid modeling, mesh generation and finite element analysis process, and the stress-strain finite element analysis was offered based on Nastran, which identified the weak links in the leaves. And more, the optimize and improve designs for the production was made,which set the foundation for the manufacture of the blades.

This paper presents an investigation into the losses and thermal characteristics of induction motors operated from pulse width-modulated (PWM) voltage supply in comparison to that operated from sinusoidal voltage supply. It was concluded that due to the abundant harmonics in the PWM waveforms, significant losses are induced in the motor by the inverter supply. The temperature ascends correspondingly. Experiments were conducted with no load and with load conditions. The losses and thermal characteristics were calculated using finite element analysis (FEA) and validated by the experiments.

Finite element analysis of LNG prestressed storage tank which was under various load conditions was carried out. The calculation results show that the low temperature load and prestress force are the control load which affect the storage tank stress. Further,some recommendations on the configuration of the prestressed reinforcement have been made so as to provide the basis for the design optimization of prestressed LNG tanks.

This article explores the application of finite element analysis (FEA) in studying the evolution of animals, including dinosaurs. Scientists have applied the method to determine how dinosaurs originally looked and functioned, and how they and other animals changed and evolved through the years. FEA is a useful tool to reconstruct the mechanical behavior of the muscle and skeletal system in zoological and paleontological studies because it is non-invasive and reconstructs stress at multiple sites and depths throughout the skeleton. It can be used to study extinct animals by way of their fossilized remains and can deal with complex geometries and load conditions. FEA is now routinely used to interpret skeletal forms for function in both medical and biological applications. The scientists believe that FEA will hopefully allow to see the effect of eating hard foods, such as the belemnites with their bullet-shaped guards. FEA allows a far more intricate, accurate, and precise picture of the bone to be used in studies.
