AIM The present study seeks to increase the life term of fully cemented total hip replacements by minimizing the stress values within the cement mantle. METHODS Three-dimensional (3D) finite element analyses have been carried out to investigate the effects of varying cement thickness on the von-Mises stress of a cement mantle. The magnitude and location of maximum von-Mises stress within the ...

Tube hydroforming (THF) process is used to produce the complex components from the initial cylindrical tubes. In this paper, T- shape component was formed using a tube hydroforming machine and the residual stresses of hydroformed tube was determined by hole drilling method. Subsequently, the thickness distribution and residual stresses of final tube were investigated using experimental and fini...

Homogenization or density-based topology optimization methods work by distributing a fixed amount of material to the most effective areas of the design domain so as to create an optimal structural configuration that meets the minimum compliance criteria. These topology optimization methods generally cannot control the maximum stress levels of the structure; therefore, the smoothened optimum str...

A numerical study on the dynamic responses of irregular fibers under axial tension is presented in this article. The irregularity was represented by a sinusoidal shape profile along the fiber axis. The finite element method was used in the simulations and the maximum first principal stress due to the dynamic pulling has been examined. Our numerical results indicate that the first principal stre...

deep rolling is a kind of mechanical surface treatments that can improve surface quality, dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of the parts. compressive residual stresses generated by the process reduce the tensile stresses during loading into the workpiece. the distribution of residual stress induced by deep rolling can be influenced by rolling parameters; such as overlap of the roll...
