Three Dimensional Finite Element

In this research, a CFT column connection with vertical plates is proposed, and studied through a finite element model. For this purpose, three-dimensional finite element models are constructed by a general purpose finite element code, ABAQUS. Comparing the results of the models indicated the effectiveness of the proposed vertical plate scheme in reducing story drift, increasing the shear strength of the panel zone.

The Brain

Despite young children being a high-risk population for sustaining concussive injuries in sport, few studies have investigated head impact biomechanics from sporting impacts using physical models and finite element models of the brain. Physical reconstructions are often used in concussive research, using the recorded kinematics to load finite element models of the brain to obtain better information of real-life head injuries. For children, scaling adult models is a common method used to study the youth population. However, this method does not capture age-dependent material properties or the unique geometry of the developing brain. To address these deficiencies, a novel three-dimensional finite element model of a 6-year-old child was developed and compared to a scaled adult model, for use with physical reconstructions. With the lack of intracranial validation data for the youth population, adult cadaveric data for brain motion was used for comparison. The new brain model showed unique responses in motion and strain compared to the scaled adult model. Using the normalized integral square error method, the new model was classified to have ‘fair’ to ‘excellent’ biofidelity. The new model is proposed as more appropriate for conducting concussion and brain injury research in young children near 6 years of age.

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.

Three Dimensional Finite Element

A short explanation of the finite element method as a powerful tool for mathematical modeling is provided, and an application using constitutive modeling of the behavior of ligaments is introduced. Few possible explanations of the role of water in ligament function are extracted from two dimensional finite element models of a classical ligament. The modeling is extended to a three dimensional finite element model for the human anterior cruciate ligament. Simulation of ligament force in pitching motion of basketball player is studied in this paper.
