Excavator is mostly used for mining and construction. This heavy equipment, widely known as a backhoe, is a digging machine commonly used for dredging the mining materials, digging and leveling the soil, dredging the river, removing the road and demolition. Excavator has bucket teeth, component that frequently undergoes a change. The replacement of bucket teeth is performed due to its low usage time and many failure experiences such as wear, bend, crack and facture during the use. To prevent the occurrence of the failures, a structural analysis on bucket teeth is necessarily conducted. The analysis was conducted to find the stress distribution on bucket teeth from the rake angle effect during the excavation. The analysis was performed using finite element method by static loading and two-dimensional modeling to determine digging and resistive force in bucket teeth. Based on the analysis, it was obtained the stress distribution and maximum value of von misses occurring in the bucket teeth from the rake angle effect. The maximum stress, obtained from the analysis results, was then compared to the allowable stress of the bucket teeth material. The results showed that the materials used were in safe limits and had small potential for experiencing failure as well.

We present the analyses of dynamics behaviors on a stroller wheel by three dimensional finite element method. The vibration of the wheel system causes by two different type barriers on the road as an experiment design to mimic the real road conditions. In addition to experiment analysis, we use two different packages to numerically simulate the wheel system dynamics activities. Some of the simulation results have good agreement with the experimental data in this research. Other interesting data will be measured and analyzed by us for future study and we will investigate them by using adaptive finite element method for increasing the precision of the computation results.

The design of the Gravity retaining wall (GRW) is a trial and error process. Prevailing conditions of backfill are used to determine the profile of GRW, which proceeds with the selection of provisional dimensions. The optimum section is having factors of safety of stability higher than the allowable values and stresses in the cross-section smaller than permissible. The cross-section is designed to fulfill conditions of stability, subjected to very low stresses. The strength of the material, which is provided in the cross-section remains unutilized. A computer program is developed to find stresses at various locations on the cross-section of GRW using the Finite Element Method (FEM). A discontinuity in the form of a rectangular cavity is introduced in the cross-section of GRW to optimize it. The rectangular cavity is introduced in the cross-section of GRW at different locations. An attempt is made in this paper to find the stress distribution in the gravity retaining wall cross-section and to study the effect of the rectangular cavity on the stress distribution. Two cases representing different locations are considered to study the effect of the cavity. The location of the cavity is distinguished by the parameter w, the effects of cases with varied was 0.2305 (Case-I) and 0.1385 (Case-II) are observed. The cavity, which is provided not only makes the wall structurally efficient but also economically feasible.

Finite element method has been used in the present work to study the stress distribution in an elbow with end constraints subjected to in-plane moment and pressure. Elbows of short radius (R/r) with varying pipe factors and bend angles have been considered. Present numerical results show for all elbow angles that follower pipe factors (thin pipes) the internal pressure reduces the flexibility factor by a larger amount than for elbows having larger pipe factors. These results are in line with the conclusions published earlier.
