Numerical modelling of crack growth in a gear tooth root

A computational model for determination of crack growth in a gear tooth root is presented. The simple Paris equation is then used for a further simulation of the fatigue crack growth. The functional relationship between the stress intensity factor and crack length K=f(a), which is needed for determining the required number of loading cycles N for a crack propagation from the initial to the critical length, is obtained using a displacement correlation method in the framework of the FEM-method considering the effect of crack closure.

Design and analysis of an fMRI compatible haptic robot

This paper deals with the manipulability problem of a novel 3 DOF MR compatible haptic mechanism, considering limited space and its visualisation. An appropriate 3D visualisation method has been developed for analysing the manipulability characteristics of a haptic mechanism within an MR environment.

Intelligent decision support for structural design analysis

This paper discusses a framework for intelligent decision support for structural design analysis using a finite element method. The intelligent environment presented is composed of several knowledge-based modules in order to address some major bottlenecks within the analysis-based design improvement process.
