Crack-tip stress evaluation requires special treatments in the frame of classical elasticity theory for characterizing fatigue crack growth behavior. In previous studies, modified finite element methods have been used to remedy infinite stresses predicted by the classical elasticity theory at the...

Arce-Borkent, Alvaro R., Richards, Tait, Senthilkumaran, Vigneshvar, Beier, Nicholas F., Zhou, Le, Moore, John A., Knudsen, K. Steven, Hussein, Amina E., Lipsett, Michael G.
High-resolution imaging of deformation processes in materials under load requires controllable and stable loading conditions and the ability to vary sample orientation relative to the imaging source. A novel tensile testing apparatus has been designed, developed, and characterized for...

A Simulation Study For Distributed Load Measurement Of A Cylindrical Rolling Element Bearing
Download2022-06-01
Wang, Xin, Liang, Xihui, Wu, Nan
In this paper, a relationship between a load applied on the inner ring and strains measured on the outer ring of a bearing is studied. A linear relationship is confirmed under different loading conditions. Finite element analysis of a cylindrical rolling element bearing with 11 rollers is...

Stabillity Assessment of Osseointegrated Transfemoral Bone-Implant Systems using Finite Element Modal Analysis
Download2022-06-01
Mohamed, Mostafa, Raboud, Don, Hebert, Jacqueline S., Westover, Lindsey
The dynamic response of osseointegrated implant systems can be used to evaluate the condition of the bone-implant interface (BII) and implant stability. The primary objective of this work is to develop a simplified dynamic 1D finite element (FE) model of the OPL transfemoral amputation (TFA)...

Kehoe, P., Gibb, K., Hurley, J., Chan, A., Green, J., Langlois, R., Greenwood, K., Aubertin, C., Ibey, A., Redpath, S.
Neonatal infants in need of advanced care, often require transportation via road ambulance to neonatal intensive care units. The ambulance exposes these vulnerable infants to potentially harmful noise and vibration. To better understand the levels of vibration, this paper maps the magnitude of...

Vibration Characteristics of a Ring Under General Boundary Conditions using Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko Theories
Download2022-06-01
Javad, Abedinilaksar Mohmmad, Jianming, Yang
Ring vibration analysis is more challenging than straight beams analysis. In straight beams, the structural deformations depend on rotational and translational displacements; however, in rings, in addition to these, they also depend on the coupled tangential displacement caused by the curvature...
