This paper gives a bibliographical review of the methods which are applied for the analysis of Beam to column bolted end plate connection from the theoretical as well as practical points of view. The bibliography at the end of the paper contains 84 references of papers and conference proceedings on the subject that were published between 1914 and 2011. These are classified in the following cate...

The concept of a medical robot constructed by parallel mechanisms for chest compressions in rescuing a patient is proposed in this paper. In light of the requirements of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from medical aspects, a new translational parallel manipulator employing the architecture of DELTA parallel robot is designed, which utilizes an architectural optimization methodology for suc...

The brakes must be strong enough to stop the vehicle within a minimum distance in an emergency. The driver must have proper control over the vehicle during emergency braking and vehicle must not skid. The brakes must have good antedate characteristics their effectiveness should not decrease with prolonged application and thus it demand that the cooling of the brakes should be very efficient. Fo...

Multilayer thin-film PZT diaphragm has been designed and modeled. Commercial Finite element software, ANSYS was implemented to model the diaphragm. This multi-layer diaphragm can be used as both sensor and actuator. A simplified model is introduced to reduce the CPU time. Dynamic characteristics of the multilayer diaphragm have been investigated. The important parameters of the multilayer PZT d...

This paper deals with modelling of the orthogonal machining process using tools with different geometries. The finite element method (FEM) is used for a simulation based on the Lagrangian formulation including ANSYS/LS-DYNA software. The constitutive Johnson – Cook material model regarding strain, strain rate and temperature to predict material plasticity and chip separation is used. Chip morph...

In the present paper, some finite element softwares about interaction of dam and reservoir during earthquake in time domain are discussed. Impedance option is used as boundary condition of absorbent of reservoir and wave. For each software, time history analysis of pressure and displacement are done and finally suitable elements for dam structure and reservoir fluid are introduced comparing the...

This paper demonstrates the application of a numerical methodology for a full-scale aircraft impact crashworthiness investigation. We studied the impact of an aircraft wing with a tree using LS-DYNA and ANSYS CFX. In particular, a detailed finite element model of the wing structure was represented as a box structure containing skin, spars and ribs, and fuel was represented as a distributed mass...
