Numerical control (NC, for short) forming machine is kind of digital forming equipment, which is based on the development of manufacturing technology without pattern, and can get mold by processing module directly, and its mechanical structure is mainly composed of the main structure, moving system, tool system and other components. The main structure is not only the foundation and framework of the entire machine, but also the most important component bearing pressure. The moving system is the most critical part of forming machine to achieve its fundamental function. Therefore, the design and development of the main structure and moving system have directly impact on the performance and service life of the forming machine, which is an important factor to reflect the level of the overall design. In this paper, structural static analysis of the main structure and moving system was made through finite element numerical simulation, the more reasonable scheme was optimized, by which the safety and reliability of forming machine was ensured. The research results can provide the necessary technical support for the structural design of NC forming machine.

This study is concerned with a design process for a foldable container structure using a finite element analysis. A foldable container structure consists of frames, panels and hinge systems. The main structure of a foldable container carries all the loads while a hinge system is designed to provide its foldability. In this work, finite element structural analyses for the main foldable container structure are carried out based on the ISO standard regulation, whose results are then taken for the design of a hinge system. The finite element analysis with two types of hinge systems are also performed. It is found out that the main structure of a standard 20ft container could be used for the foldable container with the same capacity if the corner edge in the side assembly is strengthened. It is also concluded that the hinge systems proposed in this work could be successfully used in a foldable 20ft container.

Press brake air bending, a process of obtaining products by sheet metal forming, can be considered at first sight a simple geometric problem. However the accuracy of the obtained geometries involves the combination of multiple parameters directly associated with the tools and the processing parameters, as well as with the sheet metal materials and dimensions. The main topic herein presented deals with the capability of predicting the punch displacement process parameter that enables the product to be accurately shaped to a desired bending angle, in press brake air bending. In our approach, it is considered separately the forming process and the elastic recovery (i.e. the springback effect). Current solutions in press brake numerical control (computer numerical control) are normally configured by analytical models developed from geometrical analysis and including correcting factors. In our approach, it is proposed to combine the use of a learning tool, artificial neural networks, with a simulation and data generation tool (finite element analysis). This combination enables modeling the complex nonlinear behavior of the forming process and springback effect, including the validation of results obtained. A developed model taking into account different process parameters and tool geometries allow extending the range of applications with practical interest in industry. The final solution is compatible with its incorporation in a computer numerical control press brake controller. It was concluded that, using this methodology, it is possible to predict efficient and accurate final geometries after bending, being also a step forward to a “first time right” solution. In addition, the developed models, methodologies and obtained results were validated by comparison with experimental tests.

Microcomputer finite element analysis of reinforced concrete slab systems can now be routinely performed to produce realistic numerical simulation of three-dimensional structural behaviour. However, an efficient use of this approach requires an automated integration of design and analysis procedures. Guidelines for proper finite element modelling of slab systems are first presented along with simple post-processing algorithms to perform automatically the design or verifications from the analytical results. Numerical applications on simple slab systems subjected to uniform and concentrated loads are then used to illustrate the relative performance between finite element analyses and the equivalent frame method. Key words: microcomputer, reinforced concrete slab, finite element method, structural design.

This paper discusses the unfolding form of the folding wing and its application to special UAV. The main investigations involve aspects such as unfolding process of the special UAV’s folding wing, contour structure of the complete unfolding, the choice of composite materials for the folding wing and its overall performance parameters. Modeling and dynamics analysis are made for all-composite wing through finite element analysis and calculating software. The unfolding process is also simulated. The result shows that the wing’s first-order frequency is low, second-order frequency and third-order frequency are close at different sweep angles. The wings are apt to happen flutter coupling in flutter analysis. With the continued folding of the wing, the wing’s natural frequency decreases significantly at different orders. The conclusions can provide effective basis for the study of wing rotational rate, unfolding time and impact action.

Pilot test of complex thermal fluid recovery technology was conducted in NB35-2 heavy oil field. Wellhead uplift was detected among some oil wells, and development of offshore thermal recovery technology could be restricted by the serious safety problems behind. This paper is based on the specific operating conditions of one oil well in the trial block, and the simulation calculation of casing elongation and wellhead uplift are conducted by using finite element analysis. The total casing elongation calculated is 4.2 cm, which is consistent with the field test results. According to the research, we concluded that the wellhead uplift is caused by upper casing elongation. 88% of the total elongation happens in the air and seawater sections. Elongation is lesser in strata and the casing string below 360 m can be considered as anchored.

It is very important for connection of between beam and column, connection safety and reliability is premise to guarantee the normal work of the whole structure. Node often bears complex stress which includes compression, bending and shear, so the study of the mechanical properties and ascertained behavior of mechanical, failure mechanism of between beam and column is very important. This paper use finite element analysis software to analyze the node of between SRC column and RC beam which exist in high-rise buildings but relatively few researches at present. Analyzed cracking load-displacement relation and studied on relation of concrete shear strain-section steel wing shear strain and crack load of joint core with different axial compression ratio, According to data of finite element analysis, this paper bring forward formula of crack resistance capacity of SRC column-RC beam joint core, At last compare theory value calculated with formula with test data, there being less error, it indicate the formula is reliable.
