Clarifying Fatigue Assessments in Structural Engineering

Fatigue assessments are never an easy task, but they are not impossible. FE results on one side give a bunch of information that might confuse and on the other pose questions on both the notch sensitivity and dimensional coefficients. In Chapter 10 of the book “Computational Structural Engineering” the reader is guided through all those […]

Bolt Analysis

In Chapter 17 of the book “Computational Structural Engineering” a very deep analysis of a “simple” bolted connection is presented: influence of preload and friction are discussed and failure is simulated. Finally, a comparison between the implicit and explicit approaches (which are discussed in Chapter 14) is also presented.https://www.cgcae.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Boltfailure.mp4

O-Ring Deformation: Nonlinear Axisymmetric Analysis

Here is one case where axisymmetric elements can give great results in very short times, even when dealing with hyperelastic materials! In this case an O-Ring is stretched into its position (this phase is not reported here, but maybe in a future post it will) and then the outer tube is pushed to assemble the […]
