Laser Welding Induced Alignment Distortion (WIAD) during pigtailing of pump lasers has been numerically modeled and studied experimentally. The results demonstrate that the WIAD can be minimized by properly controlling the laser beam energy delivery. A 3D finite element model has been developed for effectively predicting the WIAD.

A 3D finite element model for charged hydrated soft tissue containing charged/uncharged solutes was developed based on the multi-phasic mechano-electrochemical mixture theory [1–2]. This model was applied to analyze the mechanical, chemical and electrical signals within the human intervertebral disc under mechanical loading. The effects of tissue composition and material property on the physical signals and the transport of fluid, ions and nutrients were investigated. This study is important for understanding disc biomechanics, disc nutrition and disc mechanobiology.

This paper outlines the methods used to develop a full 3D Finite Element Model (FEM) capable of accurately predicting the superplastic forming (SPF) process of a complex multi-sheet structure. The geometry studied is a three-sheet pack consisting of an inner core sheet diffusion bonded in particular locations to two outer sheets to create a hollow internal structure when inflated. The pressure cycle implemented in the model is also used on the AFRC’s 200T press to produce parts which are compared to the model results. Comparison of 3D scans of the parts with the predicted process from the analysis reveals favorable results.

Three dimension finite element analysis and full-scale testing are carried out on a newly-built self-anchored suspension bridge. The 3D finite element model of the bridge is generated using a commercially available finite element package. The bridge is modeled under service loads, and the model results are compared to the results of field testing of the structure. Detailed experimental procedure is presented including the data acquisition system, testing truck, and the load distribution. Measured and calculated displacements are in reasonable concordance. And residual deformations meet the specification of the codes, no cracking opening.

This paper mainly introduces how to use the software of Marc to calculate the displacement and stress of the sluice. The finite element model which concludes the sluice, piles and foundation was structured for calculation and analysis using the contact analysis function provided by the program. the displacement and stress of the massive structure was worked out to estimate its whole stability and evaluate workability state of the sluice under different structures. The example shows that the results of 3D finite element analysis can be used to accurately reflect the state of the buildings overall strength and displacement. The integral floor structure of contrary arch floor sluice is better than the separated floor structure to adapt to the foundation uneven settlement, but the separated floor structure of contrary arch floor sluice makes stress form more reasonable.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.
