The preforms of three-dimensional (3D) braided composites have a monolithic structure that is braided with high-performance fibers using 3D braiding technology. Compared with traditional laminate composites, braided composites are widely favored because of their superior overall performance and mechanical properties. The capability of fabricating various yarn structures with a flexible 3D rotary braiding method, however, has not been systematically investigated, especially for a variable-section braiding structure. In accordance with the principles of braiding technology and the characteristics of a 3D braiding structure, in this study, we examined a braiding technology for the production of 3D variably shaped cross-section fabric, focusing on three key factors: the topology design of tracks, the arrangement of carriers, and the matrix algorithm of the braiding of variably shaped cross sections. We calculated new kind of structural synthesis approach to a 3D braiding track for a variable section based on the carrier arrangement characteristic method and completed the entire braiding scheme of the variable cross section. In addition, this approach represents an important step toward a simplified understanding of the carrier motion and the operator-independent operation of a 3D rotary braiding machine.

In this paper the fabricating technology of three dimensional (3D) integrated braided composite I beam is researched, including: braiding technology of 3D braided I beam preform, the orientation of fiber-tow in the I beam preform, the optimizing of process parameters of resin transfer molding (RTM) for 3D braided composite I beam, and the design of mould for consolidation of composite I beam. The quality of 3D braided composites is good analyzed by ultrasonic A-scan, void content calculation and microscope observation. The research result will provide a good way for designing and fabricating high performance 3D integrated braided composite components with irregular cross section.

In the present work creeping three-dimensional flows of a viscous liquid in a cylindrical tube and a channel of variable cross-section are studied. A qualitative triangulation of the surface of a cylindrical tube, a smoothed and experimental channel of a variable cross section is constructed. The problem is solved numerically using boundary element method in several modifications for a periodic and non-periodic flows. The obtained numerical results are compared with the analytical solution for the Poiseuille flow.

A mathematical model of an oil field drill string which includes the effect of torque has been developed. The drill string can include arbitrary members with known mechanical properties. The solution gives the three-dimensional deflection curve, forces on the borehole wall, the magnitude and direction of the resultant force and slope of the deflection curve at the bit.

Bulge forming is a novel process aimed at common products including T-branches, cross branches and angle branches. But bulging forming has not applied for two-head abnormity-shaped hollow screw rotor reported in literature. Simulation of the bulging forming of two-head abnormity-shaped hollow screw rotor has not been reported. This paper presents a simulation of the bulge forming process of two-head abnormity-shaped hollow screw rotor using a variable cross-section solid bulging mold. Some conditions including the effect of friction, boundary conditions, contact conditions and the space motion, etc are presented. The mathematical model of three-dimensional finite element analysis has been established. The distribution of generalized plastic strain and general metal flow mode in cross section of two abnormity-shaped hollow screw rotor has been analyzed. It is an effective method for the analysis of other defects and the optimization of process parameters further.

In the present work the three-dimensional flow of a viscous liquid described by Stokes equations is studied in a cylindrical tube and a channel of variable cross-section. A qualitative triangulation of the surface of a channel variable cross-section is constructed. The problem is solved numerically using the boundary element method in two modifications. A comparison of the method modifications for a channel of different radius of a neck, as well as for the Poiseuille flow with an analytical solution. It is found out the critical radius of the channel neck at which the vortices arise.

The problem of variable cross-section beam carrying a moving heavy load is investigated. UG software is used to build a three-dimensional model of the beam. The finite difference method and finite element method are used static analysis for the variable cross-section beam carrying a moving heavy load. The static deformation of the beam guide surface is obtained. Comparing the data of the two method, the feasibility of the method is verified. This paper give a guide surface load curve research method of variable cross-section beam carrying a moving heavy load.


The present investigation, though strictly mathematical in character, arose in connection with a suggestion, put forward by Prof. A. Dendy and the present author in another paper communicated to the Society, that the siliceous deposits found on certain sponge spicules occurred at nodes of the spicules, regarded as vibrating rods. These vibrations, being set up and maintained by the impact of currents of water on the spicules, are necessarily of the lateral type. For the detailed examination of such a suggestion, it is necessary to obtain a comprehensive account of the positions of the funda­mental nodes on a free-free bar, as dependent on the law of variation of its cross-section. The present paper contains, in fact, the formal analysis whose results were quoted without proof in the other paper. This analysis is of considerable generality, as will appear, and the particular examples selected for purposes of illustration, together with the manner in which the variable cross-section is dealt with, have been determined by the requirements of the biological application already mentioned. One general problem is in view throughout the work, and it may be stated as follows

In hydroelastic model tests, segmented ship models are usually used to make sure that the model scale and the full size ship satisfy the similarity law of structural natural frequency and distribution of ship bending stiffness. However, springing barely occurs in those tests because the natural frequency of segmented ship models is too high for the regular waves required to be generated in a tank. In order to investigate the springing effect, three sets of backbone of variable cross section are adopted in the test. One set of backbones satisfies the similarity law of natural frequency, and two extra sets of low stiffness backbones are used so that the springing effect can appear and be measured. Experimental results show that the springing occurs when the wave encounter frequency coincides with the first elastic natural frequency of the ship, or with half or one-third of it. A good agreement has also been obtained between the experimental and the numerical results by a three-dimensional (3D) hydroelasticity method. Based on these results, the contribution of the springing responses to the fatigue damage of the ship is estimated and analyzed.
