The objective of this study is to determine the probability of injury of human crack vertebra condition subjected to compressive loading. The model had been used in this study was reconstructed from image processing and develop using SolidWorks software. The three dimensional finite element model of lumbar vertebra was organized using Ansys software. In this work, all the model components were ...

Contemporary computing packages handle a wide variety of stress analysis types, but are yet to provide an optimal way to handle certain load cases and geometries. Blades in gas turbine propulsion systems, for instance, undergo repetitive thermal and mechanical load cycles of varied shape and phasing. Complexly-shaped airfoils create non-uniform stress paths that exacerbate the problem of FEA so...

The main objective of this research work is to find the natural frequency and mode shape of truck transmission housing. Truck transmission housing or gearbox transmission casing is subjected to vibration induced by the excitation forces transmitted to the casing through bearings. So it is required to find the natural frequency for the accurate prediction of housing life and prevent it from frac...

ANSYS-CFX is an effective and multipurpose software which can be used for simulation the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions at all levels of complexity. This software can be used for numerical solution of two and three dimensional flows, compressible and incompressible flows, viscous and non-viscous flows, laminar and turbulent flows, Newtonian and non-Newtonian flows, porous media, s...

In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to investigate the progressive collapse damage of prismatic thin walled metal columns with different regular cross sections, under the action of axial quasi-static and impact loads. The present work mainly focuses on implementation of some important factors which have been neglected in other studies. These factors include the effect of reducing impact...

Abstract Based on ANSYS finite element analysis software, a method of extracting stiffness matrix four-point contact ball bearing was proposed. The model established, the stress and strain under different loads were calculated, relationship between load analyzed, global matrices turntable with steel aluminum as inner ring materials are extracted compared, causes large changes in analyzed.

This paper presents a technique to predict the severity and the location of the damage in beam-like composite laminates by using modal parameters as input for an artificial neural network. A laminated cantilever beam is modelled using ANSYS 5.6© finite element software. Normal mode dynamic analyses have been performed for the first three natural modes of intact and damaged beams to find the mod...

in this paper, full scale load test of a horizontally curved steel box-girder bridge is carried out in order to detect structural defects, which reportedly result in unwanted vibrations in nearby buildings. the bridge is tested under the passage of six heavy vehicles at different speeds, so as to determine its static and dynamic responses. a total number of one hundred and two (102) sensors are...
