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.

Element Analysis

In the research for sustainable construction, cross-laminated timber (CLT) has gained popularity and become a widely used engineered timber product. However, there are few numerical studies of the structural behaviour of CLT. Among other issues, the orthotropic properties of CLT complicate finite element analysis (FEA). This paper presents a finite element model (FEM) to predict the structural behaviour of CLT beams subjected to sustained flexural loading. This numerical model includes a material model based on the orthotropic material properties of different timber species. Furthermore, the orientation and the properties of each layer are considered. Most of the previous studies simulate CLT beams as a homogeneous material. However, in this work the CLT beam is modelled as a composite material made up of five layers with different orientations and properties. Bonded contacts are used to define the interaction between layers. In addition, nonlinearities, such as large displacement, are used to simulate the behaviour of CLT beams. The model provides the load-displacement relationship and stress concentration. Tsai-Wu failure criteria is used in the simulation to predict the failure modes of the CLT beams studied.

The Finite Element Model

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.

Modeling Process

In this paper, in order to understand fully the development of failure mechanism, bearing capacity and seismic performance of the steel H-beams and composite concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) column joints strengthened by outside strengthening ring, in the space zone the effects of changing the axial compression ratio is investigated. A 3D joint finite element model is built up by finite element software ABAQUS, the elastic-plastic finite element analysis is carried through numerical modeling process. The analysis results showed that low axial compression ratio has a little influence on the bearing capacity; with the increase of axial pressure the bearing capacity will decrease in a high axial compression ratio, moreover the failure pattern of joint changes from beam end to column end. The ductility of the specimens is decreased by raising axial compression ratio.

Important Design

The strength of unidirectional composites is often lower in compression than in tension, making compressive strength an especially important design criterion. The compressive strength is sensitive to the presence of notches and stress gradients. Finite element analysis was used to determine the strain gradient at a shallow circular notch in one edge of a 0 degree carbon/epoxy composite specimen, and to predict failure due to a localized buckling instability. The specimen was first analyzed with a "global" model of the full specimen, and displacements along a curve near the notch were stored and used as boundary conditions for a more detailed "submodel" in the immediate vicinity of the notch. At the onset of instability, a displaced plot of the finite element model shows oscillations in the transverse direction along the arc of the notch, just off the centerline, which is essentially at the same location where failure initiated in the test specimens. Results are compared with experimental values for failure stress and notch strain concentration for a range of loading rates and test temperatures.

The aim of present study was investigate the buckling pressure of moderately thick-walled filament-wound carbon–epoxy stiffened composite pressure vessel subjected to external hydrostatic pressure through finite element analysis and compare the result with un-stiffened filament wound carbon/epoxy composite pressure vessel used in under water vehicle applications. The winding angles were [±30/90] FW, [±45/90] FW and [±60/90] FW. ANSYS 14.0 APDL, a commercial finite element software package successfully predicted the buckling pressure of filament-wound composite pressure vessel with a deviation much higher than the results of un-stiffened filament wound composite cylinder .All the finite element analysis shows that the composite pressure vessel with winding pattern [±60/90] FW has the higher value of critical buckling pressure. Major failure modes in both the analysis were dominated by the helical winding angles.

Axially heavy-loaded screw pairs are widely used in rolling mill press systems and other heavy equipment. During the working process, the nut is pressed at both ends, which causes equivalent stress at the thread roots in a U-shaped distribution along the height. Thread roots at the ends tend to suffer fracture failure when the equivalent stress is too great. In this article, the finite element software ANSYS is used to establish a 3D model of screw pairs and analyse bearing characteristics. A new structure based on the results of finite element analysis, which improves U-shaped stress distribution, is proposed for the axially uniform-loaded nut, with a different strain–displacement relationship between the nut matrix and the thread teeth. Such a relationship can greatly reduce peak stress at the thread roots of the nut on both ends. Experiments are conducted on the nut using the electrometric method. Results are compared with the finite element results to directly verify the reliability of the finite element model of ordinary screw pairs and indirectly verify the reliability of the structural model of new screw pairs.
