In this paper, a three-dimensional model of nonlinear elastic material is proposed. The model is formulated in the framework of Green elasticity, which is based on the specific elastic energy potential. Equivalently, this model can be associated to the deformation theory of plasticity. The constitutive relationship, derived from the assumed specific energy, divides the material’s behavior into two stages: the first one starts with an initial almost linear stress–strain relation which, for higher strain, smoothly turns into the second stage of hardening. The proposed relation mimics the experimentally observed response of ductile metals, aluminum alloys in particular. In contrast to the classic deformation theory of plasticity or the plastic flow theory, the presented model can describe metal compressibility in both stages of behavior. The constitutive relationship is non-reversible expressing stress as a function of strain. Special attention is given to the calibration process, in which a one-dimensional analog of the three-dimensional model is used. Various options of calibration based on uniaxial stress test are extensively discussed. A finite element code is written and verified in order to validate the model. Solutions of selected problems, obtained via ABAQUS, confirm the correctness of the model and its usefulness in numerical simulations, especially for buckling.

This work extends and generalizes a recently developed fluid-structure coupled computational framework to model and simulate fluid-induced failure and fracture. In particular, a novel surface representation approach is proposed to represent a fractured fluid-structure interface in the context of embedded boundary method. This approach is generic in the sense that it is applicable to many different computational fracture models and methods, including the element deletion (ED) technique and the extended finite element method (XFEM). Two three-dimensional model problems are presented to demonstrate the salient features of the computational framework, and to compare the performance of ED and XFEM in the context of fluid-induced failure and fracture.

ABSTRACTObjectives: Non-homogeneous force distribution along the miniplates and the screws is an unsolved question for skeletal anchorage in orthodontics. To overcome this issue, a miniplate structure was designed featuring spikes placed on the surface facing the cortical bone. The aim of this study was to examine and compare the force distribution of the newly designed plate-screw systems with the conventional one.Methods: A model of bone surface with 1.5 mm cortical thickness, along with the two newly designed miniplates and a standard miniplate-screw were simulated on the three-dimensional model. 200 g experimental force was applied to the tip of the miniplates and the consequential effects on the screws and cortical bone was evaluated using three-dimensional finite element method.Results: As a result of this finite element study, remarkably lower stresses were observed on the screws and the cortical bone around the screws with the newly designed miniplate when compared with the conventional one.Conclusion: The newly designed miniplate that has spikes was found effective in reducing the stress on and around the screws and the force was distributed more equivalently.

Supporting Frame

New full hall scaffolds with pulley-clip style formwork support system is adopted in the concert hall of Changsha. This paper presents the concept of the complete equivalent initial imperfection according to the characteristics of too many influential factors on the high formwork supporting frame，then makes the complete equivalent initial imperfectione equivalent to assumed equivalent horizontal load in order to ensure the safety of the frame. At the same time, it gets a three-dimensional model by the general finite element software ANSYS 10.0. Based on the results of experiment and finite element analysis, it gets the recommended value of assumed equivalent horizontal load. The study on the high formwork supporting frame with pulley-clip style provides some reference for other similar projects.

The use of shape memory alloys (SMA) in an increasing number of applications in many ¯elds of engineering, such as biomedical engineering, is leading to a growing interest toward an exhaustive modeling of their macroscopic behavior in order to construct reliable simulation tools for SMA devices. In this paper we review a robust three-dimensional model able to reproduce both pseudo-elastic and shape-memory behaviors and we report numerical studies where it is used for the simulation of SMA-based biomedical devices.

In the present research, three-dimensional models of above-knee prosthesis, consist of socket, four-bar linkage knee, pylon and foot, are developed. These models have to fulfill criteria such as stability, ability to withstand up to 90 kg of bodyweight, ability to flex up to 130 degree, easy for maintenance, simple manufacturing process, affordable and yet reliable. As the first step of development, these models were evaluated using finite element method software to determine whether or not the design has fulfilled strength criteria. The results show that the last iteration of the three dimensional model of the knee prosthesis has satisfied the criteria.

Taking the concrete face cock-fill dam upper reservoir of Tianchi as an example, the stress and deformation characteristics of concrete face rock-fill dam are studied in-depth in this paper. The article builds a fine three-dimensional finite element model of Tianchi upper reservoir by a nonlinear elastic model of the finite element software ADINA. The stress and deformation of the two conditions under completion and storage for the dam are calculated ,which will be analyzed to obtain stress - strain distribution of the dam in two conditions, comparing dam stress and deformation before and after impoundment to get impact of the water pressure on the dam stress and deformation: comparing after impoundment and completion , the dam water level displacement of upstream side from role of horizontal water pressure will increase , the dam upstream offsets to downstream , but the offset is little ; Due to dam is affected by vertical hydrostatic pressure and uplift pressure after impoundment , the dam settlement is slightly less than the completion in storage.
