The interaction of slope and pile was considered design load in terms of slope thrust,and the finite difference method was derived to calculate inner-force and displacement of bridge pile foundation in rock slope under complex load condition. The result of example shows that the distribution model of slope thrust has certain impact on displacement and inner-force of bridge pile foundation. The maximum displacement growth rate reaches 54% and the maximum moment and shear growth rates reach only 15% and 20%,respectively,but the trends of inner-force and displacement of bridge pile foundation are basically the same as those of the conventional pile foundation in the flat ground. When the piles bear the same level lateral thrust,the distribution shapes of slope thrust have different influence on inner-force of pile foundation,especially the rectangle distribution,and the triangle thrust has the smallest displacement and inner-force of pile foundation.展开更多

Based on the design of a new tooth profile for the sprocket, a cold semi-precision forging process and a kinematically admissible velocity field for filling the die cavity were proposed. Using the UB method, the velocity fields of the sprocket billet in the forming process were divided theoretically and calculated. The process of forging a multi-row sprocket was simulated using the FEM package Deform-3D V6.1 to obtain the distributions of the velocity field and the effective stress field in filling the die cavity. Similar to the simulated results, the experiment on cold forging a 5052 aluminum alloy sprocket was successfully performed. By comparing the calculated （UB method）, experimental and simulated load-stroke curves, the calculated and simulated results were basically in accordance with the experimental results. The study provides a theoretical foundation for the development of the precision forging of multi-row sprockets.展开更多

Owing to its distinctive advantages, the NEM is used widely in many problems of computational mechanics. Utilizing the NEM, this paper deals with numerical limit analysis of structures made up of perfectly rigid-plastic material. According to kinematic the- orem of plastic limit analysis, a mathematical programming natural element formulation is established for determining the upper bound multiplier of plane problems, and a direct iteration algorithm is proposed accordingly to solve it. In this algorithm, the plastic incompressibility condition is handled by two different treatments, and the nonlinearity and nons- moothness of the goal function are overcome by distinguishing the rigid zones from the plastic zones at each iteration. The procedure implementation of iterative process is quite simple and effective because each iteration is equivalent to solving an associated elastic problem. The obtained limit load multiplier is proved to monotonically converge to the upper bound of true solution. Several benchmark examples are investigated to validate the significant performance of the NEM in the application field of limit analysis.展开更多
