Full contact analysis of wire rope strand subjected to varying loads based on semi-analytical method

Contact fracture of full-ceramic crowns subjected to occlusal loads.

The mechanisms contributing to failure of full dental ceramic crowns under occlusal loads were studied using a unique optical approach. Model specimens comprising triple-layered crowns (veneer, core and substrate) were developed with both flat and curved occlusal surfaces and then subjected to simulated quasi-static occlusal loading using a spherical indenter. Deformation within the specimens d...

Modeling of multi-strand wire ropes subjected to axial tension and torsion loads

A new model characterizing the response of a multi-strand wire rope subjected to axial tension and axial torque is presented in this paper. Apart frommost of previous approaches which deal with a straight wire strand, the present model fully considers the double-helix structure in multi-strand configuration. To be further, a new method to compute local deformation parameters (two curvatures and...

On The Semi-Analytical Solution Of Beams Subjected To Distributed Loads

Dynamic Response Analysis of Fractionally Damped Beams Subjected to External Loads using Homotopy Analysis Method

This paper examines the solution of a damped beam equation whose damping characteristics are well-defined by the fractional derivative (FD). Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) is applied for calculating the dynamic response (DR). Unit step and unit impulse functions are deliberated for this analysis. Acquired results are illustrated to show the movement of the beam under various sets of parameters ...

Evaluation of Piled Raft Behavior based on the Taguchi Method subjected to Combination of Vertical and Horizontal Loads

The results of an ongoing FEM parametric study are presented regarding the dependence of the resulting piled raft behavior under lateral load and combination of loads on pile diameter, pile length, arrangement of piles and raft thickness. Taguchi method with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed to calculate the contribution ratio of these factors on the lateral displacement of piled raft. ...
