In recent years, a new low nickel content stainless steel (EN 1.4162) commonly referred as ‘lean duplex stainless steel’ has been developed, which has over two times the tensile strength of the more familiar austenitic stainless steel but at approximately half the cost. This paper presents the finite element analysis of concrete filled lean duplex stainless steel columns subjected to concentric axial compression. To predict the performance of this form of concrete filled composite columns, a finite element model was developed and finite element analyses were conducted. The finite element model was validated through comparisons of the results obtained from the experimental study. A parametric study was conducted to examine the effect of various parameters such as section size, wall thickness, infill concrete strength, etc. on the overall behaviour and compressive resistance of this form of composite columns. Through both experimental and numerical studies, the merits of using lean duplex stainless steel hollow sections in concrete filled composite columns are highlighted. In addition, a new formula based on the Eurocode 4 is proposed to predict the cross-section capacity of the concrete filled lean duplex stainless steel composite columns subjected to axial compression.

The block shear equations specified in the current AISC specification for structural steel buildings and North American cold-formed steel design specifications are based on research results of carbon steel bolted connections. These equations were found to be inapplicable for the welded connections in the literature. This issue is primarily associated with the use of the incorrect assumption on block shear failure mechanism. The present paper examines the accuracy of various block shear equations available in the design specifications and in the literature. The paper also examines the shear hardening capacity and the level of tensile stress over the critical net area with the results of finite element analysis, in which the fracture simulation is considered. It shows that the block shear capacities of lean duplex stainless steel welded connections can be predicted accurately using tensile stress equal to 1.25Fu, as proposed in the literature.

Strain Data

A project has been conducted to verify a finite element analysis procedure for studying the nonlinear behavior of 90°, stainless steel, 4 inch schedule 10, butt welding elbows. Two displacement controlled monotonic in-plane tests were conducted, one closing and one opening, and the loads, displacements, and strains at several locations were recorded. Stacked 90° tee rosette gages were used in both tests because of their ability to measure strain over a small area. ANSYS shell element 181 was used in the FEA reconciliations. The FEA models incorporated detailed geometric measurements of the specimens, including the welds, and material stress-strain data obtained from the attached straight piping. Initially, a mesh consisting of sixteen elements arrayed in 8 rings was used to analyze the elbow. The load-displacement correlation was quite good using this mesh, but the strain reconciliation was not. Analysis of the FEA results indicated that the axial and hoop strain gradients across the mid-section of the elbow were very high. In order to generate better strain correlations, the elbow mesh was refined in the mid-section of the elbow to include 48 elements per ring and an additional six rings, effectively increasing the element density by nine times. Using the refined mesh produced much better correlations with the strain data.

Abstract: In this work the 3D model of the camshaft was done using Autodesk Inventor version 2021 with the literature data and finite element analysis is performed by applying restrictions and loads conditions, first by the absence of the torque and then by applying the torque. Three materials were analyzed in both situations: Cast Iron, Stainless Steel AISI 202 and Steel Alloy. Following the comparative study for the three materials, it can be specified the importance of the material for the construction of the camshaft.

The Finite Element Analysis

SummaryThe use of acrylic connecting bars in external fixators has become widespread in veterinary orthopaedics. One of the main advantages of an acrylic connecting bar is the ability to contour it into a curved shape. This allows the surgeon to place the transcortical pins according to safety and convenience considerations, without being bound by the requirement of the standard stainless steel connecting bar, that all transcortical pins be in the same plane.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stiffness of unilateral and bilateral medium-sized external fixator frames with different curvatures of acrylic connecting bars. Finite element analysis was used to model the various frames and obtain their stiffness under four types of load: Axial compression, four-point medio-lateral bending, fourpoint antero-posterior bending and torsion. The analysis also provided the maximal pin stresses occurring in each frame for each loading condition.Based on the results of this study, curvatures of acrylic connecting bars of up to a maximal angular difference between pins of 25° will result in very similar stiffness and maximal pin stresses to those of the equivalent, uniplanar stainless steel system. In both unilateral and bilateral systems the stiffness decreases slightly as angulation increases for axial compression and medio-lateral bending, increases slightly for torsion and increases substantially for antero-posterior bending.External fixator systems with curved acrylic connecting bars are commonly used in veterinary orthopaedics. This paper evaluates the biomechanical performance of such systems by applying the finite element analysis method. It shows that external fixators with curved acrylic connecting bars exhibit stiffness and maximal pin stresses which are similar to those of the standard stainless steel system.
