The present paper is a review of the past work done in the field of analysis on fracture of various casting components, engine parts and other area of applications using FEM (ANSYS). Failures were observed even after designing the components with maximum stress value well below yield / ultimate stress. Later it was concluded that the failure is because of variation of load with respect to “time...

Timber structural members have been widely adopted and used in construction due to their inherent characteristics. The main objective of this work is assess the performance timber beams with GFRP pultruded beam reinforcement subjected flexure. A finite element model (FEM) using ABAQUS FEM software developed, aiming provide a benchmark modelling procedure. method considers fundamental role conne...

This paper analyzed the asymmetric flat rolling process of square section bars by testing experiments and finite element simulation methods. The impacts rate roll diameter, decrease in altitude, rotational speeds rolls on width cross-section curl radii at leaving point deformation for brass aluminum bar materials were investigated. Furthermore, was simulated using ABAQUS commercial software. A ...

Articular cartilage plays an important role in the function of diarthrodial joints. Computational methods have been used to study the biphasic mechanics of cartilage, and Abaqus has been one of the most widely used commercial software packages for this purpose. A newly developed open-source finite element solver, FEBio, has been developed specifically for biomechanical applications. The aim of ...

Abstract—This paper presents a numerical study for investigating the effectiveness of geocell reinforcement in reducing pressure and settlement over EPS geofoam blocks in road embankments. A 3-D FEM model of soil and geofoam was created in ABAQUS, and geocell was also modeled realistically using membrane elements. The accuracy of the model was tested by comparing its results with previous works...

The blades of wind turbines placed in cold climate regions are exposed to the risk icing phenomena which impact their lifetimes. This paper proposes a numerical model simulate 50 mm ice thickness localized on tip side horizontal turbine blade, and study its mechanical behavior. blade wasmodeled with finite element method (FEM)in ABAQUS software taking into account aerodynamic, centrifugal inert...

Isogeometric analysis (IGA) has been developed for more than a decade. However, the usage of IGA is by far limited mostly within academic community. The lack of automatic or semi-automatic software platform of IGA is one of the main bottlenecks that prevent IGA from wide applications in industry. In this paper, we present a comprehensive IGA software platform that allows IGA to be incorporated ...

Reinforced concrete structures consists of two main components and the behavior of these structures influenced by gender and material properties, in order to investigate the behavior of concrete reinforced beam that most important flexural element in reinforced concrete structures, we chosen High Strength Concrete (HSC) for concrete and GFRP and steel bars for reinforcement. For compare the new...
