The elasto-plastic finite element method (FEM) is applied to investigate the effect of contacting forms of steel mosaic block on the stress distribution in the aluminum single lap joint. The results obtained show that the stress in the joint was changed evidently. A couple of compress longitudinal peak stress and a negative peel stress occur in the mid-bondline of the joint so that the load bearing...
The applications of finite element method (FEM) to the analysis of bridge structures are introduced, and an analysis procedure for complex-shaped bridges based on FEM is proposed. The example bridge is a steel arch bridge with a total span of 201.96 m, which is going to be built in China. In order to study the spatial stress distribution of this bridge, a series of FEM analyses are conducted according...
Finite element method and analytic method are used to safety evaluation of a penstock laid on downstream surface of dam and its expansion pipe on the following issues: (i) Concrete cracking zone, maximum crack width and stress in liner and bars are calculated and analyzed with allowable value; (ii) Relative displacement at both sides of the joint between dam and power station, and stress of expansion...
