This paper aims to investigate the train-induced ground vibration and appropriate countermeasures using numerical modeling by Abaqus. First, the effect of appropriate boundary modeling in wave propagation studies is addressed by illustrating the application of nonreflecting boundaries in Abaqus using infinite elements. Second, the propagation of waves in the ground was investigated by applying ...

In this paper, a finite element modeling via ABAQUS/Explicit simulation on a novel fabrication miniature composite fuselage structure is presented. The fuselage structure is modeled as a continuum composite layup that consisted of a woven C-glass fiber/epoxy 200 g/m 2 composite laminated [908] with the orthotropic elastic material properties and adhesively bonded butt joint. The adhesively bond...

In the present study two-dimensional finite element analysis has been carried out on cantilever sheet pile wall using ABAQUS/Standard software to effect of different friction angles and its related parameters such as dilation angle, interfacial coefficient between soil-wall earth pressure distribution, deformation. From results obtained, it is found that there a significant decrease in deformat...

The overall goal of my work is to gain insight into how tooth shape relates to its function. As a step towards this, I undertook an independent study project to learn finite element analysis (FEA) this semester, and to lay a foundation for my future Master’s thesis project work. After solving a series of problems on paper, reading through my supervisor’s work, and referring to a range of papers...

Biomechanics testing of the lumbar spine, using cadaveric specimens, has the advantage of using actual tissue, but has several disadvantages including variability between specimens and difficultly acquiring measures such as disc pressure, bone strain, and facet joint contact pressure. A simulation model addresses all of these disadvantages. The objective of this work is to develop a method to s...

This research studies the structural behaviour of bridge deck slabs under static patch loads in steel–concrete composite bridges and investigates compressive membrane action (CMA) in concrete bridge decks slabs,which governs the structural behaviour. A non-linear 3D finite element analysismodels was developed using ABAQUS 6.5 software packages. Experimental data from one-span composite bridge s...

Taking the project of Hefei city plaza tunnel as an example, this paper takes the large-scale finite element calculation software of ABAQUS to set three dimensional calculations models to simulate the construction of underground tunnel, analyzing the displacement and stress dynamic response during the construction process. And the paper also carries out the comparison analysis of the field meas...

Fiber-reinforced polymeric composites are used widely due to their unique properties of light weight, stiffness and high strength weight ratio. During processing and servicing, the composite materials undergoes delamination, and petalling. Computational model was constructed for finite element modeling to reflect material purpose under impact load and relevant material properties were taken. In...
