The purpose of this work is to analyze the heat transfer characteristics of Vascomax®C300 during high-speed sliding. This work extends previous research that is intended to help predict the wear-rate of connecting shoes for a hypersonic rail system at Holloman Air Force Base to prevent critical failure of the system. Solutions were generated using finite element analysis and spectral methods. The frictional heat generated by the pin-on-disk is assumed to flow uniformly and normal to the face of the pin and the pin is assumed to be a perfect cylinder resulting in two-dimensional heat flow. Displacement data obtained from the experiment is used to define the moving boundary. The distribution of temperature resulting from transient finite element analysis is used to justify a one-dimensional model. Spectral methods are then employed to calculate the spatial derivatives improving the approximation of the function which represents the data. It is concluded that a one-dimensional approach with constant heat transfer parameters sufficiently models the high-speed pin-on-disk experiment.

Abstract Because the structural integrity of brake systems and tires can be related to the temperature, this work proposes a transient heat transfer finite element analysis (FEA) model to study the overheating in drum brake systems used in trucks and urban buses. To understand the mechanics of overheating, some constructive variants have been modeled regarding the assemblage: brake, rims, and tires. The model simultaneously studies the thermal energy generated by brakes and tires and how the heat is transferred and dissipated by conduction, convection, and radiation. The simulated FEA data and the experimental temperature profiles measured with thermocouples have been compared giving good correlation.

Current maintenance intervals of mechanical systems are scheduled a priori based on the life of the system, resulting in expensive maintenance scheduling, and often undermining the safety of passengers. Going forward, the actual usage of a vehicle will be used to predict stresses in its structure, and therefore, to define a specific maintenance scheduling. Machine learning (ML) algorithms can be used to map a reduced set of data coming from real-time measurements of a structure into a detailed/high-fidelity finite element analysis (FEA) model of the same system. As a result, the FEA-based ML approach will directly estimate the stress distribution over the entire system during operations, thus improving the ability to define ad-hoc, safe, and efficient maintenance procedures. The paper initially presents a review of the current state-of-the-art of ML methods applied to finite elements. A surrogate finite element approach based on ML algorithms is also proposed to estimate the time-varying response of a one-dimensional beam. Several ML regression models, such as decision trees and artificial neural networks, have been developed, and their performance is compared for direct estimation of the stress distribution over a beam structure. The surrogate finite element models based on ML algorithms are able to estimate the response of the beam accurately, with artificial neural networks providing more accurate results.

This paper presents the magnetostatic field analysis of a coaxial magnetic gear device proposed by Atallah and Howe. The structural configuration and speed reduction ratio of this magnetic gear device are introduced. The 2-dimensional finite-element analysis (2-D FEA), conducted by applying commercial FEA software Ansoft/Maxwell, is performed to evaluate the magnetostatic field distribution, especially for the magnetic flux densities within the outer air-gap. Once the number of steel pole-pieces equals the sum of the pole-pair numbers of the high-speed rotor and the low-speed rotor, the coaxial magnetic gear device possesses higher magnetic flux densities, thereby generating greater transmitted torque.

The Finite Element Analysis

Due to the complexity of hot stamping mechanism, including the coupling of material formability, thermal interaction and metallurgical microstructure, it makes the process design more difficult even with the aid of the finite element analysis. In the present study, the experimental platforms were developed to measure and derive the friction and heat transfer coefficients, respectively. The experiments at various elevated temperatures and contact pressures were conducted and the friction coefficients and heat transfer coefficients were obtained. A finite element model was also established with the experimental data and the material properties of the boron steel calculated from the JMatPro software. The finite element simulations for the hot stamping forming of an automotive door beam, including transportation analysis, hot forming analysis and die quenching analysis were then performed to examine the forming properties of the door beam. The validation of the finite element results by the production part confirms the efficiency and accuracy of the developed experimental platforms and the finite element analysis for the process design of hot stamping.

Wound Composite

A mechanical and optimal analyses procedure is developed to assess the stresses and deformations of Novel Wound Composite Axial-Impeller under loading conditions particular to centrifuge. This procedure is based on an analytical method and Finite Element Analysis (FEA, commercial software ANSYS) results. A low-cost, light-weight, high-performance, composite turbomachinery impeller from differently designed patterns will be evaluated. Such impellers can economically enable refrigeration plants using water as a refrigerant (R718). To create different complex patterns of impellers, MATLAB is used for creating the geometry of impellers, and CAD software UG is used to build three-dimensional impeller models. Available loading conditions are: radial body force due to high speed rotation about the cylindrical axis and fluid forces on each blade. Two-dimensional plane stress and three-dimensional stress finite element analysis are carried out using ANSYS to validate these analytical mechanical equations. The von Mises stress is investigated, and maximum stress and Tsai-Wu failure criteria are applied for composite material failure, and they generally show good agreement.
