Abnormal grain growth in alumina was investigated during sinter-HIP process for better understanding of pressure effect on microstructural development. Abnormal grain growth of monolithic alumina was observed near surface region rather than interior region of specimen. Finite element analysis was used to estimate the pressure distribution developed in the specimen. Pressure distribution analysis was in good agreement with grain size distributjion in the specimen. The results of finite element analysis provided that abnormal grain growth monolithic alumina was resulted from the inhomogeneous pressure distribution in the specimen. MgO addition in alumina was effective for the suppression of abnormal grain growth in alumina under inhomogeneous pressure distribution during sinter-HIP process.

The Finite Element Method is applied to the determination of the deformed bulge profile and strain distribution during upset forming of cylindrical billets. From the results of simulation, the bulging along the z-axis becomes more severe with increasing eight reduction, and with increasing friction at the die-material interface. The present method can be used for the simple prediction of the deformed shape and strain distribution in upset forging of cylindrical billets with dissimilar fictional conditions at the die-material interfaces.

A useful finite element method to determine the stiffness of assembled member by stud bolt was introduced in this paper. Since threads on clamped members and stud bolts may produce different stress distribution, brief theories and equations based on bolt and nut may produce less conservative results or, this case. A finite element model using non-linear gap element was indtroduced to find out the basic feature of stress distribution caused by threads on both stud and member.

The finite element program is presented for the analysis of the moment distribution in continuous slabs of simply supported girders. The program includes the material nonlinearity of the continuous and steel reinforcements of the RC slabs, but assumes that the PC beam and cross beam behave linearly. In modeling the PC slabs and girders, the four node degenerated shell element formulated based on the assumed strain interpolation and the 3D beam element are used, respectively. Using the program, the influence of the existence of the cross bean, the filling of open joints on the continuous at supports, and perfect continuation of precast girder elements are examined.

From the viewpoint of linear fracture mechanics, the crack propagation behavior of two different structures having the same K-a relationship could be considered identical. In this study the stress distribution in an infinitely wide cracked plate with the same K-a relationship as in a real structure is defined as the equivalent stress distribution. Fatigue life of a real structural element can be predicted by applying the equivalent stress distribution to a simple structural element, and performing a fatigue crack propagation analysis. The K-a relationship for a structural member can be estimated by a finite element method or a simplified prediction method. The validity to obtain effective crack driving stresses by using the equivalent stress-distribution is examined.

The study is concerned with the two-dimensional thermo-viscoplastic finite element analysis for radial forging as an incremental forging process. The deformation and temperature distribution of the workpiece during radial forging are studied. The analysis of deformation and the analysis of heat transfer are carried out for simple upsetting of cylinder by decoupling the above two analyses. A method of treatment for heat transfer through the contact region between the die and the workpiece is suggested, in which remeshing of the die elements is not necessary. Radial forging of a mild steel cylinder at the elevated temperature is subjected to the decoupled finite element analysis as well as to the experiment. The computed results in deformation, load and temperature distribution are found to be in good agreement with the experimental observations. As an example of viscoplastic decoupled analysis of hot radial forging, forging of a square section into a circular section is treated. The stresses, strains, strain rates and temperature distribution are computed by superposing material properties as the workpiece is rotated and forged incrementally. It was been thus shown that proposed method of analysis can be effectively applied to the hot radial forging processes.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of changing various parameters of the bone-borne rapid palatal expander (RPE) using the finite element method (FEM). Methods: In eight experimental groups, we investigated the effect of the number, position, and length of miniscrews; positional changes of the expander; and changes in the hook length on maxillary expansion. In finite element analysis, we compared the magnitude and distribution of stress, and the displacement changes following expansion of the bone-borne RPE. Results: When we compared the number and position of miniscrews, placing miniscrews in the anterior and posterior sides was advantageous for maxillary expansion in terms of stress distribution and displacement changes. Miniscrew length did not significantly affect stress distribution and displacement changes. Furthermore, anteroposterior displacement of the expander did not significantly affect transverse maxillary expansion but had various effects on vertical changes of the maxilla. The maxilla rotated clockwise when the miniscrews were placed in the anterior region. The hook length of the expander did not show consistent results in terms of changes in stress distribution and magnitude or in displacement changes. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that changes in the location and length of the miniscrews and displacement of the bone-borne RPE could affect the pattern of the maxillary expansion, depending on the combination of these factors.

In this paper reconstructing the internal resistivity and relative permittivity distribution is discussed. The iterative reconstruction method based on Finite Element method and Newton method were used to reconstruct both of resistivity ind permittivity distribution. The Finite Element model of impedance distribution is built in complex field of resistivity and capacitive medium. The reconstruction results based on computer simulated data and experimental data are presented.

This paper subdivided the interior solid into triangular shape of equal size to calculate the temperature distribution around the square heat source of it, and compared calculated values with measured ones. The result obtained are as follows. 1) It was found that we can calculate the temperature distribution around the square heat source of interior solid by the variational method of the finite element method as the calculated values were almost accord with the measured ones. 2) The temperature distributed were higher when the distances between heat source were farther and lower when those nearer. 3) Vertical surface temperature distribution is remarkably efficient by thermal conductivities.
