Results show that fiber orientation and sample aspect ratio significantly influence the response of scaffolds in shear, and that measured shear strains can be predicted by finite element models.
The forming behaviour of pre-strained IF steel material and TWBs was predicted by finite element analysis (FEA) implementing both the ε-FLD and σ-FLD.
By using the stress-regime dependent creep model and ductility, the CCG rate in a Cr Mo V steel over a wide range of C* has been predicted by finite element analyses.
Due to the lower bond strengths of adhesives and the high stress concentration in the pontic abutment interface, the likelihood of failure in the interface is predicted by finite element analysis.
It has been recognized that the damage development inside lamina considering an effect of a spread tow, which has been never observed in experiments, can be predicted by the finite element analysis based on damage mechanics.
It is shown that the electrical connections that arise within small fatigue cracks, as well as the influence from the narrow opening as tensile loads are applied, can be predicted by a finite element model of the eddy current method.
Also the location of crack initiation and the crack growth direction could be predicted by three dimensional elasto-plastic finite element analyses.
First, the fully coupled structural electrostatic system is described by a three field formulation, in which the structure and passive electrical field is modeled by finite element method, and the deformation of the electrostatic domain is predicted by a finite element formulation of a fictitious elastic structure.
Buckling, material failure and ultimate collapse of the stiffened panels are predicted by nonlinear finite element analysis, which is based on a degenerated three-dimensional laminated composite shell element with updated Lagrangian formulation and first-order shear deformable kinematics.
The mechanical properties were predicted by employing finite element model of material microstructure, so as to design microstructure and prepare new ceramic materials.
