In order to investigate the bearing behavior of composite beam with different web openings. Six composite beams were analyzed by using the finite element program ANSYS and the shape of openings was different. The results show that the shape of opening has a significant influence on the bearing capacity and deformation capacity of composite beams with web openings. Because stress concentration is relatively small, the force performance of circular web opening is more reasonable and has the largest bearing capacity and deformation capacity.

A total of 11 L-shaped multi-cell concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns were fabricated and researched in axial compression test. The key factors of width-to-thickness ratio D/ t of steel plates in column limb and prism compressive strength of concrete fck were investigated to obtain influence on failure mode, bearing capacity, and ductility of the specimens. The test results show that the constraint effect for concrete provided by multi-cell steel tube cannot be ignored. The ductility decreases with the increase of width-to-thickness ratio D/ t of steel plates in column limb. The bearing capacity increases and the ductility decreases with the increase in prism compressive strength of concrete fck. A finite element program to calculate concentric load–displacement curves of L-shaped multi-cell concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns was proposed and verified by the test results. A parametric analysis with the finite element program was carried out to study the influence of the steel ratio α, steel yield strength fy, prism compressive strength of concrete fck, and width-to-thickness ratio D/ t of steel plates in column limb on the stiffness, bearing capacity and ductility. Furthermore, the design method of bearing capacity was determined based on mainstream concrete-filled steel tubular codes.

This article considers the calculation of load-bearing capacity of flange-plate joints with bolts along two sides of rectangular hollow sections (RHS) under axial tension. It provides a review and comparison of various calculation methodologies for establishing the load-bearing capacity of RHS flange-plate joints, such as suggested in EN 1993-1-8:2005 and STR 2.05.08:2005 as well as those proposed in different countries and by other authors. Common design principles and derived results for load-bearing capacity of flange-plate joints have been analysed and compared. Following the numerical modelling, which has been done using ANSYS Workbench finite element program, the derived results for load-bearing capacity have been compared with analytical load-bearing capacity results for flange-plate joints of the same structure. The analysis has focused on one type of flange-plate joints with bolts – both preloaded and non-preloaded – along two opposite sides of the tube, with the flange thickness of 15 mm and 25 mm.

Tube-plate joint is a frequently-used joint type in steel-tube tower, but the theoretical analysis and experimental investigation on tube-plate joint are absent both at home and abroad. In this paper, the ANSYS finite element program was used to simulate the bearing capacity and deformation condition of tube-plate joint with 1/2-stiffening ring. Eight calculation models were designed, and the width-thickness ratio was changed by changing the width or thickness of stiffening ring. The results indicate that the influence of different width-thickness ratio on tube-plate joint bearing capability is significant. By increasing the width or increasing the thickness of stiffening rings to improve the bearing capacity of the joint is a very effective way.

It is very crucial to analyze the flexural bearing capacity of the steel-high strength concrete composite beams, but the combination on the flange of steel beam and their bearing capacity is limited with certain inevitability,in addition, in the negative bending regions of continuous composite beams, with the constant increase of load, the process of the whole structure will cause damages in the negative moment region. In order to avoid this kind of damages, we must use general finite element program ANSYS to analyze thebearing capacity of the steel and high strength concrete composite beams. Besides further studying the influence factors of bearing capacity, and ensuring the safety of our engineering performance can be in favor of the engineering structure.

By considering the four secondary moment functions ,which are developed according to virtual plastic stress distribution at the perforated section of continuous composite beam. reinforced opening proved to be necessary and reliable .Several reinforcing methods are reserched. mechanical properties are compared with FE results in different reinforced continuous composite beam.The result indicates that the bending and vertical shear capacity of continuous composite beam with web opening can be effectively enhanced to a certain extent. In addition,stiffness and local stability at web opening area are also increase. Effective reinforcing method is presented and can be used in engineering practice.

Substructure modeling using pipe-in-pipe (PiP) elements in a finite element program allows representation of dynamic interaction between riser components. This modeling technique is especially useful when it comes to the design of a complex riser system in deepwater applications. In this paper, the ABAQUS finite element program was used to illustrate the substructure models and the results for dynamic analysis of a classic Spar top tension riser (TTR) system in the Gulf of Mexico subjected to a given Hurricane Rita sea state. Nonlinear contacts between the buoyancy can and compliant guides are represented by two different substructure models: compliant guide surface model with friction and frictionless compliant guide spring model. The effects of centerwell hydrodynamic forces were considered. ABAQUS dynamic results were compared between the PiP substructure model and a conventional structure model treating the buoyancy can and the riser inside as a composite beam. The PiP guide friction surface model with centerwell hydrodynamics theoretically is the most representative model for riser analysis. However, the PiP guide spring model is more computationally efficient. It generates comparable guide loads but produces lower riser fatigue damage than the PiP guide friction surface model. The composite beam model leads to guide loads comparable to the PiP model, but cannot be used to determine the spacer loads between the buoyancy can and riser. The composite model also could underestimate riser stresses and riser fatigue damage within the buoyancy can region. The riser guide loads and riser damages from the calculation models without centerwell hydrodynamics are generally higher than those by the same calculation models with such consideration. It was concluded the PiP guide spring model can be used for riser design in lieu of the PiP guide surface model. The additional fatigue damage contribution from axial tension variation due to guide surface friction could be accounted for by adding a damage factor to the total fatigue damage along the riser.

ABSTRACT The fracture field of coal and rock mass is the main channel for gas migration and accumulation. Exploring the evolution law of fracture field of coal and rock mass under the condition of drilling and slitting construction has important theoretical significance for guiding efficient gas drainage. The generation and evolution process of coal and rock fissures is also the development and accumulation process of its damage. Therefore, based on damage mechanics and finite element theory, the mathematical model is established. The damage variable of coal mass is defined by effective strain, the elastoplastic damage constitutive equation is established and the secondary development of finite element program is completed by FORTRAN language. Using this program, the numerical simulation of drilling and slitting construction of the 15-14120 mining face of Pingdingshan No. 8 Mine is carried out, and the effects of different single borehole diameters, different kerf widths and different kerf heights on the distribution area of surrounding coal fracture field and the degree of damage are studied quantitatively. These provide a theoretical basis for the reasonable determination of the slitting and drilling arrangement parameters at the engineering site.
