Evaluation of Rotation Transmission Performance for Diaphragm Coupling by Finite Element Analysis

Evaluation of Fracture Parameters by Coupling the Edge-Based Smoothed Finite Element Method and the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method

This paper presents a technique to evaluate the fracture parameters by combining the edge based smoothed finite element method (ESFEM) and the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM). A semi-analytical solution is sought in the region close to the vicinity of the crack tip using the SBFEM, whilst, the ESFEM is used for the rest of the domain. As both methods satisfy the partition of unity...

Performance evaluation of modified bentlegPlow using finite element approach

ABSTRACT-This paper aims to develop a new design of a bentleg (BL) plow and to determine its performance as compared to the conventional one using finite element approach. The difference between the modified and conventional BL plows is the direction of angle between the projection of cutting blade on horizontal plane normal to plow shank and the line perpendicular to the plow shank in the same...

Evaluation of Laser-Lok microgrooves on the stress distribution of crestal bone by Finite Element Analysis

Finite-element analysis of stress in the canine diaphragm.

Stress in the diaphragm, transdiaphragmatic pressure, and diaphragm shape are interrelated by a balance of forces. Using precise in vivo measurements of diaphragm shape and transdiaphragmatic pressure distribution in combination with finite-element analysis (ANSYS), we determined the direction and magnitude of stress in the passive diaphragm at relaxation volume. Lead spheres sutured along musc...

The Performance of an Hexahedron C* Element in Finite Element Analysis

The performance of an 8-noded hexahedron C1* element in elasticity is investigated. Three translational displacements and their derivatives as strain in each direction are considered as degrees of freedom (d.o.f.’s) at each node. The geometric mapping is enforced using a C0 element with no derivative as nodal d.o.f.’s . The stiffness matrix of the element is also computed using a transformation...
