In this paper, a finite element model of a composite gas cylinder was established by ABAQUS finite element software, with consideration that both heads were helically wound and their wound angle and wound thickness varied with different parallel circle radius. Stress of the composite gas cylinder and PEEQ of its liner under different working conditions after autofrettage treatment were studied, the stress distribution was assessed by the DOT CFFC standard and the effective range of autofrettage treatment was confirmed. This finite element analysis method may be referable to the design and inspection of composite gas cylinders.

Taking the sand grab bucket for example, the motion and force situation of the grab mechanism is analyzed with the software SolidWorks. First 3-D model of the grab mechanism was built, second finite element model of grab was built, finally motion and force analysis was carried out with post-processing module. The instance study shows, finite element analysis method based on SolidWorks Simulation helps to improve the quality and efficiency of product design in practice.The results will provide reference for design of grab bucket in future.

For estimating the fatigue properties of orthotropic deck bridges, a finite element analysis method was provided. In the method, the models of orthotropic decks steel bridge were established by using Midas and Ansys finite element software respectively, the Midas software has tracked two kinds of live load positions that corresponding to maximum and minimum stress of the fatigue checking points, and the most unfavorable loads were loaded to the Ansys model, then the stress ranges of fatigue checking points were obtained and the fatigue properties of the bridge were estimated. The results show that, it is feasible that using the new finite element method to checking the fatigue performance of orthotropic deck steel bridge.

The drivers were hurt seriously by the vehicle steering column in the frontal collision. So a steering column with well energy-absorbing is very useful for the drivers. In this paper, the crashworthiness of a vehicle steering column is investigated by using the explicit dynamics finite element analysis method. Based on the proposed finite element model, the steering column with different material parameters including elastic modulus and yield strength are analyzed. Moreover, the displacement, velocity and energy absorption is discussed. The simulation results show that the crashworthiness of the vehicle steering column is significantly influenced by the yield strength. However, the elastic modulus has little effect on the crashworthiness.

The purpose of this study was to determinate , using the Finite Element Analysis Method, the mechanical stress in a solid body , temporary molar restored with the self-curing GC material. The originality of our study consisted in using an accurate structural model and applying a concentrated force and a uniformly distributed pressure. Molar structure was meshed in a Solid Type 45 and the output data were obtained using the ANSYS software. The practical predictions can be made about the behavior of different restorations materials.

Thanks to its greater flexibility and biocompatibility with human tissue, superelastic NiTi alloys have taken an important part in the market of orthodontic wires. However, wire fractures and superelasticity losses are notified after a few months from being fixed in the teeth. This behavior is due to the hydrogen presence in the oral cavity, which brittles the NiTi arch wire. In this article, a diffusion-mechanical coupled model is presented while considering the hydrogen influences on the NiTi superelasticity. The model is integrated in ABAQUS finite element software via a UMAT subroutine. Additionally, a finite element model of a deflected orthodontic NiTi wire within three teeth brackets is simulated in the presence of hydrogen. The numerical results demonstrate that the force applied to the tooth drops with respect to the increase in the hydrogen amount. This behavior is attributed to the expansion of the NiTi structure after absorbing hydrogen. In addition, it is shown that hydrogen induces a loss of superelasticity. Hence, it attenuates the role of the orthodontic wire on the correction tooth malposition.

In port crane industry, the surface hardening technique is widely used in order to improve the strength of wheel. But the hardening depth is chosen only by according to the experience, and the effect of different hardened depths is not studied theoretically. In this paper, the contact stresses in wheel with different hardening depth have been analyzed by applying three-dimensional finite element model. Based on this model, the ANSYS10.0 finite element software is used. The elastic wheel is used to verify the numerical results with the Hertz’s theory. Three different hardening depths, namely 10mm, 25mm and whole hardened wheel, under three different vertical loads were applied. The effect of hardening depth of a surface hardened wheel is discussed by comparing the contact stresses and contact areas from the numerical results.
