Scalp soft tissue expansion is one of the key medical techniques to generate new skin tissue for correcting various abnormalities and defects of skin in plastic surgery. Therefore, it is very important to work out the appropriate approach to evaluate the increase of expanded scalp area and to predict the shape, size, number, and placement of the expander. A novel method using finite element model is proposed to solve large deformation of scalp expansion in this paper. And the procedure to implement the scalp tissue expansion with finite element method is also described in detail. The three-dimensional simulation results show that the proposed method is effective, and the analysis of simulation experiment shows that the volume and area of the expansion scalp can be accurately calculated and the quantity, location, and size of the expander can also be predicted successfully with the proposed model.

An understanding of flow behavior of polymer melts through a slit die is extremely important for optimizing die design. In this paper numerical simulations have been undertaken for the flow of linear low-density polyethylene through Coat-hanger sheet dies. A new finite element method is proposed to simulate the flow in slit channel using Wagner constitutive model. This is one kind of finite element semi-analytical method by which the velocity distributions in thickness direction is approach by Fourier series. Numerical results of volumetric flow and pressure in coat-hanger dies are given to compare to the three-dimensional simulation using the finite element method. It appears that numerical solutions are as accurate as the complete 3D calculations and the computing time can be saved.

As the main bearing part in a turbine blade, the root carries most of the loads of the whole blade. The improvement of the root structure can be used to enhance the operation reliability of steam turbine. The research on design optimization for double-T root and rim of a turbine blade was conducted by three-dimensional finite element method. Based on the APDL (ANSYS parametric design language), a multi-variable parametric model of the double-T root and rim was established. Twelve characteristic geometrical variables of the root-rim were optimized to minimize the maximum equivalent stress. The optimal structure of the double-T root-rim is obtained through the optimization. Compared with the original structure, the equivalent stress level of the root and rim has a significant reduction. Specifically, the maximum equivalent stress of root and rim reduces by 14.25% and 13.59%, respectively.
