Flight Loads Prediction of High Aspect Ratio Wing Aircraft Using Multibody Dynamics by Michele Castellani, Jonathan E. Cooper, Yves Lemmens

“…These results are then compared to those obtained with the standard linear aeroelastic approach provided by the Finite Element Solver Nastran. Nonlinear effects come into play mainly because of the need of taking into account the large deflections of the wing for flight loads computation and of considering the aerodynamic forces as follower forces.…”

Numerical Simulation of the Stability of a Cutting Slope and Study on Its Reinforcement Scheme by Song Chen, Zhao Yang, Wenpeng Zhang, Liufang Li, Yibo Zheng, Ying Yuan

“…In this paper, taking the left side slope of ZK100 + 860∼+975 cutting of the Huizhou-Qingyuan section of the Shantou-Zhanjiang Expressway as an example, based on the strength reduction method (SRM), the stability of the slope under different conditions (natural conditions, unsupported excavation conditions, rainstorm conditions, and reinforcement conditions) is analyzed by using finite element software. The results show that the slope was almost stable before excavation, and the safety factor of slope stability decreases due to excavation, so it is in an unstable state. …”

Study on constraint of mixed mode crack and failure assessment diagram of pressure-bearing structure by MIAO Xinting, LIU Guoxu, ZHANG Jinbo, PENG Jian, BIE Fengfeng

“…The crack tip constraint and failure assessment diagram （FAD） in both plate specimen and pipe structure were studied to find out the compatibility and correlation of between the sample and piple.Based on the finite element method, constraints at crack tip of central cracked plate （CCP） specimen and cracked pressure pipe were obtained.It was found that crack tip constraint of CCP specimen under uniaxial loading is better matched with thick-walled pipeline under axial tensile loading, while CCP specimen under biaxial loading is better matched with thin-walled pipeline under internal pressure.In addition, the failure assessment diagram of CCP specimen and pipeline were obtained.It was found that FAD of CCP specimen is less related with thickness, when the thickness of pipe is within the range of thick wall or thin wall; was also pointed out that stress parallel to the crack direction increases the failure assessment curve （FAC） of the structure. …”
