There were four collapse accidents of fastener-style steel tubular formwork support being investigated in the article. The collapse mechanism was researched. According to the collapse accidents, the finite element model was established. The whole stability analysis was done. The analytical results were the same with the conditions of accidents. The collapse mechanism was verified. According to the collapse mechanism, the security technical measures of high formwork support were put forward.

Abstract A finite element model was developed to simulate the tire-rim interface. Elastomers were modeled by nonlinear incompressible elements, whereas plies were simulated by cord-rubber composite elements. Gap elements were used to simulate the opening between tire and rim at zero inflation pressure. This opening closed when the inflation pressure was increased gradually. The predicted distribution of contact pressure at the tire-rim interface agreed very well with the available experimental measurements. Several variations of the tire-rim interference fit were analyzed.

Abstract This paper extends the finite element simulation scheme to handle the problem of tires undergoing sliding (skidding) impact into obstructions. Since the inertial characteristics are handled by the algorithm developed, the full range of operating environments can be accommodated. This includes the treatment of impacts with holes and bumps of arbitrary geometry.
