In order to study the stress distribution of dual-frequency vibrating screen and ensure the screen box has sufficient strength and longevity, a finite element model of dual-frequency vibrating screen was built, and the stress, modes and fatigue life of the screen box were analyzed. The results indicate that, the stress concentration appears at the contacting parts between the crossbeam and the stiffener of motor seat, the crossbeam, L-type stiffening plate, baffle of material added and screen box. The middle of crossbeam and the L-type stiffening plate are weaker parts of fatigue, they are easily fatigue failure under high frequency vibration.

The finite element model of the combined vibrating screen was established by using ANSYS. Modal characteristic analysis and static analysis on the whole unit of screen box were done, and natural frequencies and modal shapes in the top 15 orders were obtained, distribution regularities of stress and deformation of each part of the screen box under the static load were revealed, providing the necessary basis for the improvement design and research on screen box.

One of the major challenges faced in fatigue assessment today is determining the stress concentration factor ‘SCF’ associated with the dents, which are used with appropriate SN curves to determine the fatigue life. This historically has been determined empirically or by using finite element analysis. This paper presents finite element analysis on a parametric range of industry pipes (both offshore and onshore) to extract SCF data used for fatigue assessment. The parametric dataset focuses on the effects of pipe geometry, dent geometry, material properties and pressure cycling on the prediction of the fatigue life. This parametric dataset will eventually be used to develop an algorithm for fatigue prediction using an artificial neural network. Two types of indenters (Dome and Bar) are used to simulate circumferential and longitudinal dents. Four different dent depths ranging from 2% d/D to 10% d/D are also simulated to investigate the effect of dent geometry. Four different pipe grades (X42, X65, X80 and X100) are analyzed to investigate the effect of pipe materials on dent fatigue. Similarly, eight pipes with different diameter to thickness ratio D/t ranging from 18–96 are analyzed to investigate the effect of pipe geometry. Stresses are computed at both 50% SMYS and 72% SMYS to investigate the effect of pressure variation. The results from this study indicate that longitudinal dents have higher stress concentrations compared to circumferential dents of similar dent depth. Results also indicate that the re-round dent depth (i.e. dent depth after pressurization) increases with increasing D/t and increasing dent depth. Similarly, the pipe material has a major effect on the fatigue life. Pipes with higher material strength have higher stress concentration compared to pipes with lower strength of similar dent depth. The stress concentration factors SCF associated with the dents are then computed.

Applying the method of finite element analysis, the finite element model of sub-frame of an automobile was built. With the aid of MSC software, longitudinal force operating mode which was pre-verified to be the most critical mode, was chosen for the static strength analysis and fatigue life simulation analysis of the sub-frame. Then the stress and fatigue life nephograms of the sub-frame were gotten. Comparison between finite element analysis and experiment result indicated that the finite element model can practically and properly reflect the real stress distribution of the sub-frame. Finally, based on this finite element model, some structure optimizations were done. After structure optimizations, the stress level was obviously improved. This method of FEA simulation together with experimental verification, significantly reduces the development cycle of new products, and is of important value in product design and quality improvement.

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.

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.
