This paper realizes an underwater spiral wave sound source by using three omni-directional spherical transducers with three different phases. The pressure distribution of the sound field for a phased array is derived using the superposition theory of sound field. The generation of spiral wave field is presented, the relationship between the performance of phased array sound field and the array parameters is analyzed, and also verified by the finite element method (FEM). A spiral wave sound source with three spherical piezoelectric ceramic transducers is then designed and fabricated based on FEM simulation, and the performance of the sound source is analyzed. Measurements are made in a reverberation pool, and the result shows that the fabricated spiral wave sound source is capable of producing a spiral sound wave. Under a frequency of 3.5 kHz, the phase directivity has a fluctuation of ±21°, and the amplitude directivity range is 4.3 dB, which verifies the realization of the spiral wave sound source.

Abstract This article examines numerically the flexibility influence of support beams in static response and dynamic properties of a symmetric plate formed by massive slabs of reinforced concrete in elastic linear regime, using the Finite Element Method. In the static response the variation of bending mo-ments and displacements are evaluated, which depend on the relationship between the flexibility of the slab and the beam. The evaluation of dynamic properties is held in undamped free vibration, through which the vibration modes and the values of the natural frequencies is obtained, which are compared with the limits of the Brazilian standard code for design of concrete structures. Results show that the response may show great variation due to the change in the relationship between bending stiffness of the slabs and the beams.

Element Method

The finite element method has become established as a powerful tool for the solution of many problems of continuum mechanics where its physical interpretation, by analogy with discrete problems of structural analysis permits the user to exercise a considerable degree of insight and judgement in its use. Further it is now a recognized mathematical procedure of approximation which embraces many older methodologies (such as the finite difference method) as a subclass. In the field of geological studies its impact is fairly recent and only a limited application has been made to date. The techniques used here have been limited to those established over a decade ago in the parallel fields and recent developments and possibilities barely touched upon. In this paper the author therefore attempts to ( a ) outline some of the general mathematical and practical aspects of the method with illustrations from various fields which are relevant to geological problems, ( b ) survey accomplishments already made in geology and geotechnical fields, and ( c ) suggest some possible new extensions of application.

The Relationship

The effect of tenon length and tenon width on withdrawal load capacity of mortise and tenon (M-T) joint was studied based on the finite element method (FEM), and the relationship of withdrawal load capacity relating to tenon length and tenon width was regressed using response surface method. The results showed that the tenon length and tenon width had remarkable effects on withdrawal load capacity of M-T joint T-shaped sample. The effect of tenon length on withdrawal load capacity was greater than tenon width. The regression equation used to predict the withdrawal load capacity was capable of optimizing the tenon sizes of M-T joint with R-square of 0.926. Using FEM can get more knowledge of M-T joint visually, and reduce the costs of materials and time of experiments.

Nowadays, the compound fine-blanking forming process is one of the most important processes to produce complicate multifunctional parts without subsequent machining. However, the big die-roll occurs in the sharp area is a common problem in this process. In this paper, the method with negative punch-die clearance was proposed to solve this problem by comparing three feasible plans. In addition, the influence on the process with different value of the negative punch-die clearance was studied by the finite element method (FEM). The results of this study verified that the process with suitable value of the negative punch-die clearance can result in significant decrease of the die-roll size. The relationship between the material flow near the region of die-roll and the punch-die clearance was also clarified.

The paper presents stress analysis of an ankle prosthesis and the prediction of the cracks appearance that may occur using the finite element method. The first test was performed using as material for the ankle prosthesis simulation, aluminium alloy 6061, and in the second test were use titanium as the simulation material. Von Mises�s basic concept, failure theory, is also analysed, using Autodesk Inventor simulation software, in an attempt to give a perspective on the material from which the ankle prosthesis must be made. In conclusions were presented results for stress, endurance, and safety factors for simulated prosthesis.
