In this paper, a new finite element model has been introduced with the aim of efficient investigation of residual thermal stresses in fiber-reinforced composites, in which the inhomogeneous interphase is considered. For the inhomogeneous interphase modeling, four different kinds of material properties variation of the interphase (power, reciprocal, cubic and exponential variations) with the radial coordinate have been used. A mono fiber circular unit cell is considered using a finite element (FE) method. Extending the mono fiber model, FE models with different arrays of fibers have been created to investigate the effects of neighboring fibers on the results. In order to assure the convergence of results, a convergence analysis has been carried out for each of the models. To verify the finite element model, the FE results are compared with theoretical results available in the literature. In this paper, three different types of RVE configurations, circular, square and hexagonal are modeled and the effects of each type of fiber packing are studied. Performing an extensive study, the appropriate boundary conditions for RVEs are presented. The boundary conditions presented in this research are proved to be able to model the overall behavior efficiently.

Many neck pain complaints are associated with degenerated discs in cervical spine. Disc degeneration (DD) consists of cascading stages of events with complex changes in disc tissue properties. This results in deterioration of the ability of the disc to perform its function normally. Several biomechanical and biochemical changes occur in the disc with degeneration. Increase in motion segment stiffness and peak stresses in the posterior annulus are some of the gross changes that occur in the disc with degeneration.

In this paper, the finite element model of some car’s body-in-white is established in Hypermesh. The model analysis is executed based on the element model in ANSYS. Through the model analysis the dynamic parameters of the body-in-white are obtained. At the same time,the modal test of a real car body is implemented. The reliability of the finite element model is validated based on the modal test. The results show that the stiffness of the body-in-white is great enough and it can provide optimal design for future designers.
