A method is presented to allow the computer analysis of rolling bearings with reduced numbers of balls or rollers with no loss of accuracy. There are three advantages with the ability to model the bearings with less than the actual numbers of balls or rollers: (1) The method allows for the analysis of bearings which have more balls or rollers than allowed by the dimensioning of the computer software; (2) The method allows for the selection of a model number of nodes or rolling elements which are equally spaced and correspond to the number of nodes of a finite element analysis of the bearing rings and mounting structure; and (3) The method can reduce the computer printout for the bearing analysis.

Finite Element analysis is used to determine and to minimise the stress concentrations which arise in a “Smart” material system due to the embedded optical fibre sensors. The FE results show that with careful selection of the coating stiffness and thickness the stress concentrations caused by the fibre inclusion in the host material can be reduced.

Based on the thermo elasticity theory, the stress of femur prosthesis system was analyzed using finite element method. An evaluation for the selection of prosthetic material was presented after discussing the thermo physical property of material which had an effect on the stress of femur prosthesis system. The results indicate that the interface failure is the primary failure form of the femoral prosthesis system and the interface failure is accelerated for the reason of the thermal effect. So the prosthesis with low coefficient of thermal expansion should be selected which can moderate the interface failure in the certain degree.

AbstractA selection method to support adaptive reuse of parametric finite element analysis (FEA) models is introduced in this paper. Adaptive reuse of engineering artifacts such as FEA models is common in product design, but difficult to automate because of the need to integrate new information. The proposed method factors reusability into selection by evaluating models based on comparative estimates of effort involved in adapting them for reuse to model a query problem. The method is developed for FEA models of component-based designs. FEA modeling of electronic chip packages is used to illustrate the method's usefulness. We conclude with a discussion on the method's advantages and limitations and highlight important issues for further research.

Automotive valve springs occupy substantial space in the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine. In this paper, the design and analyses of a flat spring concept, known as flexure bearing are presented. Further, design approach, characteristics and parametric characterizations of a single-piece flexure bearing concept are outlined. Finite element analysis was used in examining the flexure bearing strength for different designs, materials and thicknesses. The results show that the maximum stress values are independent of the material types when the number of arm is three and above. The strain values are limited to less than 1% for all materials when the thickness is more than 1mm.  The results have provided characteristics for future selection of the flexure bearing in relation to the intended axial displacement.

In the process of cutting, often the selection of cutting parameters is done considering empirical methods. This approach is more expensive and does not usually lead to the best solutions. Numerical methods for simulating the chip formation have been under development over the last thirty years. The aim of the present research is to compare models based on rheological properties of metals with 2D Finite Element Models of chip formation process.

Abstract Introduction Dental implants are common treatment modality for tooth loss which leads to unaesthetic appearance and may also cause deterioration of mastication and speech. The aim of implant therapy in dentistry is to restore tissue contour, function, comfort, aesthetic, and speech. Dental implant role is to transfer the mechanical force created during chewing to the supporting osseous tissues within the mandible and maxilla. The importance of biomechanical factors such as the bone-implant interface, implant thread design, the length and diameter of implants, type of loading, the quality and quantity of surrounding bone have been strained by various authors. The selection of implant thread design plays an important role in the outcome of the treatment. This study was done to evaluate the influence of different thread designs on stress distribution of osseointegrated implant using three-dimensional (3D) finite-element analysis. Materials and Methods Three implants with different thread designs, namely V-thread, buttress, and reverse buttress thread designs were considered and dimensions were standardized. The site considered was the mandibular molar region with cortical and cancellous bone assuming to be isotropic and homogeneous. The implant modeling was done with the ANSYS 18.1 software. Axial load (100N) and buccolingual load (50N) were applied. The stresses were calculated as Von Mises stress criterion. Results Minimum von mises Stress concentration was seen for tapered implant body with reverse buttress thread design under axial load 100N and tapered implant body with V-thread under buccolingual load of 50N at cortical bone which signifies bone preservation. Stress levels were observed maximum at implant and minimum at the cancellous bone. Conclusion Hence, within the limitations of this study the results obtained can be applied clinically for appropriate selection of implant thread design for a predictable success of implant therapy.
