In this work, the effect of adherend shape on the tensile strength of adhesively bonded single lap aluminum structures joint was numerically studied using three dimensional finite element models. Six joint models were investigated. In this paper, a static finite element analysis was performed in A...

This paper investigates the relationship between mechanical behaviors and shape of corrugated fiberboard by means of buckling analysis, which is done by FEM (Finite Element Method). Firstly, after analyzing the structure of corrugated fiberboard a single-wall corrugated fiberboard model was built. The buckling load was measured in the ideal condition by linear buckling analysis (eigenvalue buck...

This paper presents the advances done in the field of simulation and design applied to MEMS. It will be discussed some techniques to link different finite element softwares, especially COMSOL and ANSYS, in order to profit from all the advantages offered by each finite element code. Then, an explication is done on how we piloted ABAQUS using a Matlab routine. In a third and very important sectio...

A common cause of human disability is related to the fracture of bones, complex structural materials whose properties vary with time. An analytical study (using ANSYS, a commercial finite element package) of bones under fracture conditions is presented, focusing on the frequency variation versus depth of crack, as well as on the evolution of strength in the fracture area.

Glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) profiles are finding increasing applications in civil engineering structures, owing to the several advantages they offer over traditional materials. However, due to the combustible nature of their polymer matrix, there are well-founded concerns about their behaviour at elevated temperature and under exposure to fire. These concerns are hindering the widespr...

PURPOSE To establish a three-dimensional finite element model for orthodontic anchorage micro-implant,and to analyze the influence of different titled angles on the biomechanical characteristics of orthodontic anchorage implant-bone interface. METHODS ANSYS(Analysis System)finite element analysis software was used to perform the finite element modeling of the micro-implant with 7 different ti...

Hydrogen gas has been widely recognized as an environmentally clean and renewable energy fuel, and it provides a way to reduce greenhouse gas and air pollution emission. A great deal of effort has been made to develop new techniques in the field of hydrogen energy, including hydrogen production, storage, and infrastructure. Recently a metallic gasket, which is made of type 316L stainless steel,...

Dr. Hani Aziz Ameen* Received on :17/8/2009 Accepted on:7/1/2010 Abstract Shaft misalignment is considered as one of the common repeated problems in most rotating machineries , which leads to generate vibrations and extra dynamic loads on transmitting gears teeth, also leads to nonuniformity in distribution of applied load along the meshing tooth face by being concentrated on one side of tooth ...
