In terms of flat and groove rolling conditions,stress field and strain field are studied. The simulation results show that the rigid-viscoplastic model can accuratelydescribe the semi-solid metal rolling process. Semi-solid slurry has the characteristics of low flow stress and goodfluidity. During groove rolling, distribution of stress and strain on the cross-section of deformation zone is moreuniform than that during flat rolling. The results of simulation are in good agreement with the experiment data, andshow that semi-solid material fits for groove rolling.展开更多

Through analyzing the scaling functions of BSWI in one dimension, the basic formula for 2D FEM of BSWI is deduced. The 2D FEM of 7 nodes and 10 nodes are constructed based on the basic formula. Using these proposed elements, the multiscale numerical model for foundation subjected to harmonic periodic load, the foundation model excited by external and internal dynamic load are studied. The results show the pro- posed finite elements have higher precision than the tradi- tional elements with 4 nodes. The proposed finite elements can describe the propagation of stress waves well whenever the foundation model excited by extemal or intemal dynamic load. The proposed finite elements can be also used to con- nect the multi-scale elements. And the proposed finite elements also have high precision to make multi-scale analysis for structure.展开更多

In particular, the biomechanical behaviour of the bone structure after complete osseointegration depends on the load transferred to the bone by each fixture. In this study, a finite-element analysis of two models was performed. Models of an all-on-four configuration and a six-implant configuration were compared in a worst-case scenario. A new V parameter is presented to aid the quantitative and comparative analysis of the all-on-four and six-implant configurations. The influence of orthotropy was also investigated, and a geometric change in the all-on-four configuration is presented.展开更多

Since it has become an important safety objective for nuclear reactors, it is therefore needed to model and evaluate relevant phenomena of IVR strategy in assessing safety of nuclear power reactors. One of the relevant phenomena during accident progression in the oxidic pool is non-uniform high heat generation occurring at large scale. Consequently, direct experimental studies at these scales are not possible. The role computer codes and models are therefore important in order to transpose experimental results to reactor safety applications. In this paper, the state-of-the-art ANSYS FLUENT CFD code is used to simulate Non-uniform heat generation in the lower plenum by the application of Cartridge heating under severe accident conditions to derive the basic accident scenario. However, very few studies have been performed to simulate non-uniform decay heat generation by Cartridge heaters in a pool corresponding lower plenum of power reactor. The current investigation focuses on non-uniform heating in the fluid domain by Cartridge heaters, which has been done using ANSYS FLUENT CFD code by K-epsilon model. The computed results are based on qualitative assessment in the form of temperature and velocity contour and quantitative assessment in terms of temperature and heat flux distribution to assess the impact of heating method on natural convective fluid flow and heat transfer.展开更多

This study analyses the stress induced on an HDD pipeline system using the ANSYS Version 18, mechanical APDL finite element (FE) software. The pipeline used as the case study was a gas transmission pipeline installed in south-west Nigeria. A macro-file for ANSYS Version 18, mechanical APDL used to model the pipeline was developed. The results showed that the maximum and minimum stresses induced on the HDD pipeline were at the top and bottom of the pipe, respectively;while the stresses on the sides were uniform (≈888 kg/cm2) all through the pipeline, irrespective of element number. The maximum stress occurred at the curvature point with the highest entry angle (10°), resulting in a maximum deflection at this point. The model stress validation performed by comparing results with theoretical solutions, both with respect to radius of curvature and internal pressure, showed percentage difference (errors) less than 10%. The cross sectional area validation showed a percentage difference of 0.059%.展开更多
