Lateral Incisor

This paper uses finite element method (FEM) to simulate the stress distribution and the displacements during the orthodontic process of the mandibular lateral incisor. It provides theoretical guidance for the design of the orthodontic treatment. This study is as follows: (1) Use the software of MIMICS to reconstruct models of the mandible and the dentition by CT scanning images. (2) Use the software of Pro/Engineer (Pro/e) to simplify the model built in Mimics, establish the model of the orthodontic brackets, and assemble the mandible, the dentition and the brackets together. (3) Simulate the process of orthodontic surgery, use the software of ANSYS to study the effect of orthodontic surgery by changing the direction in which external force is applied, and reveal the regularity of displacements and stress distribution of the mandibular lateral incisor caused by local displacements.

Reducing Stress

The Stress Distribution in the Connection of the Spherical Shell and the Opening Nozzle Is Very Complex. Sharp-Angled Transition and Round Transition Are Used Respectively in the Connection in the Light of the Spherical Shell with the Small Opening and the Large One. the Influence of the Two Connecting Forms on Stress Distribution Is Analyzed by Establishing Finite Element Model and Solving it. the Result Shows there Is Obvious Stress Concentration in the Connection. Round Transition Can Reduce the Maximum Stress in Comparison with Sharp-Angled Transition in both Cases of the Small Opening and the Large Opening, Mainly Reducing the Bending Stress and the Peak Stress, but Not the Membrane Stress. the Effect of Round Transition on Reducing Stress Was Not Significant. so Sharp-Angled Transition Should Be Adopted in the Connection when a Finite Element Model Is Built for Simplification in the Future.

Honeycomb Panel

In this article, the object of study is a three–layer honeycomb panel with fixing elements (FE), which are used for transporting the panel, and fixing it to the spacecraft. The goal of the work is to determine experimentally the load carrying capacity of the fixing elements under various types of loading, to determine the load carrying capacity of the honeycomb panel of the spacecraft at fixing points and further comparison of the experimental results with the finite element method results calculated by MSC.Patran / Nastran. A method for conducting static tests of fixing elements of a spacecraft honeycomb panel under an external load is described, a description of computer technology of a finite–element solution to the problem of static strength of a honeycomb panel structure in the MSC.Patran environment is presented, and a finite–element model of a honeycomb panel is designed. An assessment of the strength of a three–layer structure at fixing points was carried out, followed by validation of the finite–element model of a honeycomb panel. On the basis of the validated model, the evaluation of the strength of the honeycomb structure was carried out; based on results obtained, the conclusion has been made about the convergence of the results by the finite element method with the results obtained during the experiment.

The Finite Element Model

Abstract In this study, an additive scaling function based multi-fidelity (ASF-MF) surrogate model is constructed to fast predict fatigue life as well as the stress distribution for the welded single lap joint. The influence of leg length, leg height, the width of the specimen and load in the fatigue test are taken into consideration. In the construction of the MF surrogate model, the finite element model that is calibrated with the experiment is chosen as the high-fidelity (HF) model. While the finite element model that is not calibrated with the experiment is considered as the low-fidelity (LF) model, aiming to capture the trend of the HF model. The Leave-one-out (LOO) verification method is utilized to compare the prediction performance of the ASF-MF surrogate model with that of the single-fidelity Kriging surrogate model. Results show that the ASF-MF surrogate model can better predict the fatigue life as well as the stress distribution.

Tem Method

The compact finite-element model (CFEM) method has been used to model the transient EM (TEM) response of an earth model consisting of a heterogeneous prism in a two-layered, conducting halfspace. The prism can be deformed to simulate any angle of dip and plunge without the effect of 'staircasing'. The present implementation of CFEM (program Samaya) allows for a horizontal-loop transmitter with arbitrarily oriented magnetic dipole receivers which may be on the surface or downhole. Samaya can be run on workstations or on augmented IBM PC-AT's (or clones).The use of Samaya should allow the TEM method to be used to solve a greater range of structural and target identification problems than is possible with existing interpretation aids. Having the ability to predict the TEM response of an expected geology means that surveys can be designed to yield optimum information. The program can also be used to validate hypothesized structural models against field data.The paper concludes with a discussion of the computed downhole TEM response of a dipping target.
