The bearing performance of composite foundation improved by flexible piles was influenced by changes of cushion’s modulus, the modulus ratio between soil on bottom of pile and soil surrounded pile, which was analyzed by the finite element method. Results showed that: 1.For single pile, by increasing of cushion’s modulus, the bearing performance nearby the top of flexible pile increased apparently, and the common tendency of settlement of pile and soil surrounded piles was affected negatively. For multi-piles, the increasing of cushion’s modulus resulted in the increasing of bearing performance and the common tendency of settlement of piles and soil surrounded piles was affected positively. 2.The change of modulus ratio between soil surrounded piles and soil on bottom of piles resulted positively in the change of frictional resistance and end-bearing performance nearby the bottom of single pile and reduced the settlement of composite foundation. But the multi-pile borne absolutely all loading due to the increasing of modulus ratio, and both of piles and soil surrounded piles had the same tendency of settlement.

This paper is concerned with the numerical analysis of the mathematical model for a semiconductor device with the use of the Boltzmann equation. A mixed initial-boundary value problem for nonstationary Boltzmann-Poisson system in the case of one spatial variable is considered. A numerical algorithm for solving this problem is constructed and justified. The algorithm is based on an iterative process and the finite element method. A numerical example is presented.

A numerical analysis over influence of kinetic energy projectile sabot structure on the armour depth penetration is presented in the paper. The analysis has identified an influence of sabot different materials into projectile combat performance, and some areas of sabot structure where its shape can be optimised. The finite element method in Solidworks Simulation environment was used in analysis. Due to it the dynamical loads of the sabot at the time of firing could be investi-gated. The influence of sabot different materials and projectile geometry modifications on the strength of penetrator sabot joining was studied. A pattern of dynamical loads for the penetrator sabot joining was simulated and visualised. For selected options of the structure the calculations were performed over the terminal ballistics. It allowed an identification of potential development trends for this brand of ammunition.

Backfill Material

 The failure mechanism of backfill material for retaining wall was studied by performing a numerical analysis using the finite element method. Kaolin is used as backfill material and retaining wall is constructed by Polymer Concrete. The laboratory data of an instrumented cantilever retaining wall are reexamined to confirm an experimental working hypothesis. The obtained laboratory data are the backfill settlement and horizontal displacement of the wall. The observed response demonstrates the backfill settlement and displacement of the retaining wall from the start to completion of loading. In conclusion, numerical modelling results based on computer programming by ABAQUS confirms the experimental results of the physical modelling.

The finite element modeling is established for reinforced concrete(RC) beam reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) using the serial/parallel mixing theory. The mixture algorithm of serial/parallel rule is studied based on the finite element method. The results obtained from the finite element simulation are compared with the experimental data. The comparisons are made for load-deflection curves at mid-span. The numerical analysis results agree well with the experimental results. Numerical results indicate that the proposed procedure is validity.

With a certain actual lime-soil pile composite foundation project for background, the Finite Element Method (FEM) model of composite foundation was carried out by using the Drucker-Prager theory and ANSYS FEM procedure. By imitating the status of composite foundation under the construction load and analyzing the factors such as stress, settlement, stress ratio between pile and soil, carrying capacity of composite foundation with lime-soil pile has been gained. The conclusions offer some beneficial references to design and construction of actual projects.
