The stiffness of skeletal muscle is changed as the fiber orientation of skeletal muscle tissue changed.

Crane Hooks are highly liable components and are always subjected to failure due to accumulation of large amount of stresses which can eventually lead to its failure. To study the stress pattern of crane hook in its loaded condition, a solid model of crane hook is prepared with the help of CMM and CAD software. Real time pattern of stress concentration in 3D model of crane hook is obtained. The stress distribution pattern is verified for its correctness on an acrylic model of crane hook using Diffused light Polariscope set up. By predicting the stress concentration area, the shape of the crane is modified to increase its working life and reduce the failure rates

The failure behaviour of three different configurations of adhesively bonded carbon fibre composite T-joints subjected to pull-out load is investigated. Finite element analysis is carried out on the carbon fibre composite T-joint models. A nonlinear, contact target-based cohesive zone model with appropriate traction separation law is selected to simulate the pullout test condition in FE package ANSYS Ò. The FE analysis results are in close agreement with available experimental results.
