Main Components

The first part of this article presents a dynamic analysis of the fan of a generator connected by rigid coupling to a diesel engine. The purpose of this analysis is to correlate the main components of the fan’s frequency response spectrum with the ones of the excitation source, i.e., the diesel engine. The second part describes a finite element analysis of the fan in order to find the best design solution.

Loaded Column

The finite element method was applied in the construction design of the welding column of CNC boring machine for dynamic analysis and modal analysis. The laws of deformation and stress of a loaded column were obtained, and the natural frequency of each step and modes of column were also given according to this method. The results implied that the strength and the stiffness of welding column were met the machining requirements. Machine working frequency far less than inherent frequency, thus resonance is not easy to occur. Through the way, the optimization proposals of structure were given.

Abstract The finite element method has been used widely in tire engineering. Most tire simulations using the finite element method are static analyses, because tires are very complex nonlinear structures. Recently, transient phenomena have been studied with explicit finite element analysis codes. In this paper, the authors demonstrate the feasibility of tire cornering simulation using an explicit finite element code, PAM-SHOCK. First, we propose the cornering simulation using the explicit finite element analysis code. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed simulation, computed cornering forces for a 175SR14 tire are compared with experimental results from an MTS Flat-Trac Tire Test System. The computed cornering forces agree well with experimental results. After that, parametric studies are conducted by using the proposed simulation.

Forging Force

As an important forged part of an automobile, the inner hole of the half-shaft bushing must be formed directly. However, the process requires many steps, and how the forging, or deformation, is spread over the production steps directly affects the die life and forging force required. In this paper, the three steps involved in directly forging a half shaft bushing's inner hole are simulated using the two-dimensional finite element method. Further more, we improve the forging process. From numerical calculation, the improved necessary forging force is found to be only half the original force, and the die life is doubled.

Result Show

The effect of diamond shape on the thermal conductivity of diamond/Cu composites was studied by combine finite element method with the tests. The finite element result show that the thermal conductivity of the hexoctahedron diamond/Cu composites and the square diamond/Cu composites is 819 W/m·K and 1013 W/m·K respectively. And the testing results indicate that the thermal conductivity of the single hexoctahedron diamond/Cu composites and the hexoctahedron mixed with the square diamond/Cu composites is 659W/m·K and 720 W/m·K respectively. The testing results consist with the finite element calculation. Under the same circumstances, more {100} faces can bring in less overall thermal resistance in the composites thus improve the thermal conductivity of the composites. The results show that using square diamond particles helps to improve the thermal conductivity of diamond/Cu composites.
