Abstract:
Finite element analysis is versatile and used widely in a range of engineering andscientific disciplines. As time passes, the problems that engineers and designers areexpected to solve are becoming more computationally demanding. Often theproblems involve the interplay of two or more processes which are physically andtherefore mathematically coupled. Although parallel computers have been availablefor about twenty years to satisfy this demand, finite element analysis is still largelyexecuted on serial machines. Parallelisation appears to be difficult, even for thespecialist. Parallel machines,

Thus accurate structural analysis is important. The focus in this thesis is an umbilical consisting of 19 copper conductors.

A variety of pathologies exist which increase the likelihood of bone fracture. Present methods for determining the fracture risk of a specific patient are based exclusively on the amount of bone present.

To assess the effect of bone quality on strength, a methodology was developed for the structural analysis of cancellous bone biopsies. Thirty biopsies were selected from a pre-existing biopsy bank, and scanned using a SCANCO µCT-40 at a resolution of 30 microns. Cortica

Collision data for validation of SIMCOL is very difficult to obtain, and model testing is very costly. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) provides a

For each initial shape, the elastic foundation is modeled using two different stiffnesses; one allows a minimum amount of &quot;sinking&quot; into the foundation and the other allows a considerable amount.
