The axisymmetric distortion in girth-welded pipes is studied in this paper. A model is developed based on the fact that only a small part of the pipe near the welding arc undergoes high temperature changes, and thus behaves thermo-elastic-plastically, while the rest of the structure is elastic in nature and may, at most, have some thermo-elastic effects. The model is shown to match Finite Element Method in predicting the overall approximated axisymmetric shrinkage in girth-welded pipes. A qualitative agreement with published analytical and experimental results is achieved as well.

The temperature fields during semi-solid magnesium alloy produced by casting-rolling technology has been simulated by finite element method on the basis of ANSYS. The temperature fields for different conditions were obtained, which is consistent with the experimental results. Results show that there is a high temperature field in the casting and rolling zone. The temperature fluctuates from the center to edge of the strip near the entry of the casting and rolling zone. but The temperature decreases gradually from the center to edge of the strip near the exit of the casting and rolling zone. There are some remarkable effects of the temperature of the casting and rolling, the velocity of the casting and rolling, the gap of two roll, the cooling of the roll and the diameter of the roll on the temperature field, which are in agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract The finite element method has been used widely in tire engineering. Most tire simulations using the finite element method are static analyses, because tires are very complex nonlinear structures. Recently, transient phenomena have been studied with explicit finite element analysis codes. In this paper, the authors demonstrate the feasibility of tire cornering simulation using an explicit finite element code, PAM-SHOCK. First, we propose the cornering simulation using the explicit finite element analysis code. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed simulation, computed cornering forces for a 175SR14 tire are compared with experimental results from an MTS Flat-Trac Tire Test System. The computed cornering forces agree well with experimental results. After that, parametric studies are conducted by using the proposed simulation.


In this paper, SiCp /Al2O3 composites were fabricated through directed metal oxidation process. Experimental results of these composites validated or compared with Finite Element Method (FEM). Finite Element has become one in all the foremost necessary tools offered to an engineer. The finite part methodology is employed to resolve advanced analysis issues. In this paper, Finite Element Method based ANSYS software is used to FEM model to determine mechanical properties of SiC reinforced Al2O3 matrix composite by changing volume fractions of SiC. The comparison of experimental results with Finite element analysis provides detailed information about the results of these comparisons. The FA was competent of predict the information for several scenario quite fine

Some corrections have been made hitherto to explain the great discrepancy between experimental and theoretical values of the magnetoelastic buckling field of a ferromagnetic beam plate. To solve this problem, the finite-element method was applied. A magnetic field and buckling equations of the ferromagnetic beam plate finite in size were solved numerically assuming that the magnetic torque is proportional to the rotation of the plate and by using a disturbed magnetic torque deduced by Moon. Numerical and experimental results agree well with each other within 25 percent.
