A 3D finite element model of bolt composite joint has been established to determine the stress distribution on the contact surface. The effects of clamping torque and friction on the contact stress and interlaminar normal stress are considered. From the analysis results, contact stress is bared mainly by the 0° layer. The distribution and magnitude of contact stress are conducted by friction. The effect of clamping torque on interlaminar normal stress is very strong. A 3D damage user subroutine is added to the FEM to simulate the damage of joint. By the means of damage simulation, the initiation and progression direction of three types damage are predicted. Matrix cracking and fiber-matrix shear occur at first, and fiber buckling is founded subsequently. The matrix cracking and fiber-matrix debonding initiate at circumferential angle 45°and 135°, and fiber buckling initiate at the 0° layer on the bearing plane. The friction and bolt clamping torque can restrain damage initiation and development.

This paper investigates the operation of an automotive poly-rib serpentine belt system. A three-dimensional dynamic finite element model, consisting of a driver pulley, a driven pulley, and a complete five-rib V-ribbed belt, was created. Belt construction accounts for three different elastomeric compounds and a single layer of reinforcing cords. Rubber was considered incompressible hyperelastic material, and cord was considered linear elastic material. The material model accounting for thermal strains and temperature-dependent properties of the rubber solids was implemented in ABAQUS∕EXPLICIT code for the simulation. A tangential shear angle and an axial shear angle were defined to quantify shear deformations. The shear angles were found to be closely related to velocity variation along contact arc and the imbalanced contact stress distribution on different sides of the same rib and on different ribs. The temperature effect on shear deformation, tension and velocity variation, and contact stress distribution was investigated and shown in comparison to the results for the same system operating at room temperature.

In most bolted connections, the unknown interface pressure distribution and the extent of the contact region are essential parameters in any stress analysis. Concerning these parameters, experimental and numerical studies of a model of an isolated single-bolt region show the following. The contact region between the flanges depends almost exclusively on the ratio of the flange thickness to the diameter of the surface region of each flange over which the bolt prestressing force is distributed; the contact zone is virtually independent of both the level of prestressing force and of the size of the bolt hole; and the contact stress distribution for a typical range of parameters is very closely approximated by a truncated conical distribution. The studies also delineate the regions of the flanges around each bolt where the stress state is strongly three-dimensional and regions where simple plate theory is applicable. The relationships established between the contact stress distribution and the various geometric parameters are presented in a form immediately applicable by designers.

In this study the main causes of the failure of a GE-F9 second stage turbine blade were investigated. The stress distribution of the blade which has 6 cooling vents in three modes (with full cooling, closure of half of the cooling channels, and without cooling) was studied. A three dimensional model of the blade was built and the fluid flow on the blade was studied using the FVM method. The stress distribution due to centrifugal forces applied to the blade, temperature gradients and aerodynamic forces on the blade surface was calculated by the finite element model. The results show that the highest temperature gradient and as a result the highest stress value occurs for the semi-cooling state at the areas near the blade root and this status is true for the full cooling mode for the regions far from the root. However, the field observations showed that the failure occurred for the blade with the semi-cooling state (due to closure of some of the channels) at areas far from the root. It is discussed that the main factor of the failure is not the stress values being maximum because in the state of full cooling mode (the state with the maximum stress values) the temperature of the blade is the lowest state and as a result the material properties of the blade show a better resistance to phenomena like hot corrosion and creep.

Abstract Residual Stress distribution and parametric influence of friction are studied for the split sleeve cold expanded holes in Al 2024 T351 alloy, by developing a three-dimensional finite element model of the process. Fastener holes in the alloy are necessary for the manufacturing process, but they create a potential area for stress concentration, which eventually leads to fatigue under cyclic loading. Beneficial compressive residual stress distribution as a result of the split sleeve cold expansion process provides retardation against crack initiation and propagation at the critical zones near hole edges. In this parametric study, the influence of friction between contact surfaces of the split sleeve and mandrel is numerically investigated. Hole reaming process after split sleeve cold expansion is often not discussed. Without this post-processing procedure, split sleeve cold expansion is incomplete in practice, and its purpose of providing better fatigue performance is invalidated. This study presents results and an overview of the significance of friction with the consideration of the postprocessing of split sleeve cold expansion. The numerical results show that with increasing friction coefficient, compressive residual stress reduces significantly at the mandrel entry side, which makes the hole edge more vulnerable to fatigue. The different aspects of finite element modeling approaches are also discussed to present the accuracy of the prediction. Experimental residual stress observation or visual validation is expensive and time-consuming. So better numerical prediction with the transparency of the analysis design can provide critical information on the process.

Abstract In designing bolted joints, it is important to know the contact stress distribution which governs the clamping effect or the sealing performance and to estimate the load factor (the ratio of an increment in axial bolt force to an external load) from bolt design standpoint. The clamping force by bolts and the external bending moment are axi-asymmetrical loads and not many investigations have seen reported which treat axi-asymmetrical. In this paper, the clamping effect, and the load factor for the case of solid round bars with circular flanges, subjected to external bending moments, are analyzed as an axi-asymmetrical problem using the three-dimensional theory of elasticity. Experiments were carried out concerning the contact stress distribution, and the load factor for the external bending moment (a relationship between an increment in axial bolt force, and external bending moment). The analytical results were in fairly good agreement with the experimental ones.

To establish a finite element model that reflects the geometric characteristics of the normal anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), explore the approaches to model knee joint ligaments and analyze the mechanics of the model. A healthy knee joint specimen was subjected to three-dimensional laser scanning, and then a three-dimensional finite element model for the normal ACL was established using three-dimensional finite element software. Based on the model, the loads of the ACL were simulated to analyze the stress-strain relationship and stress distribution of the ACL. Using the ABAQUS software, a three-dimensional finite element model was established. The whole model contained 22,125 nodes and 46,411 units. In terms of geometric similarity and mesh precision, this model was superior to previous finite element models for the ACL. Through the introduction of material properties, boundary conditions, and loads, finite elements were analyzed and computed successfully. The relationship between overall nodal forces and the displacement of the ACL under anterior loads of the tibia was determined. In addition, the nephogram of the ACL stress spatial distribution was obtained. A vivid, three-dimensional model of the knee joint was established rapidly by using reverse engineering technology and laser scanning. The three-dimensional finite element method can be used for the ACL biomechanics research. The method accurately simulated the ACL stress distribution with the tibia under anterior loads, and the computational results were of clinical significance.

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of his study was to evaluate the stress on tooth and alveolar bone caused by orthodontic intrusion forces in a supraerupted upper molar, by using a three-dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM). Methods: A superior maxillary segment was modeled in the software SolidWorks 2010 (SolidWorks Corporation, Waltham, MA, USA) containing: cortical and cancellous bone, supraerupted first molar, periodontal tissue and orthodontic components. A finite element model has simulated intrusion forces of 4N onto a tooth, directed to different mini-screw locations. Three different intrusion mechanics vectors were simulated: anchoring on a buccal mini-implant; anchoring on a palatal mini-implant and the association of both anchorage systems. All analyses were performed considering the minimum principal stress and total deformation. Qualitative analyses exhibited stress distribution by color maps. Quantitative analysis was performed with a specific software for reading and solving numerical equations (ANSYS Workbench 14, Ansys, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, USA). Results: Intrusion forces applied from both sides (buccal and palatal) resulted in a more homogeneous stress distribution; no high peak of stress was detected and it has allowed a vertical resultant movement. Buccal or palatal single-sided forces resulted in concentrated stress zones with higher values and tooth tipping to respective force side. Conclusion: Unilateral forces promoted higher stress in root apex and higher dental tipping. The bilateral forces promoted better distribution without evidence of dental tipping. Bilateral intrusion technique suggested lower probability of root apex resorption.
