The methods of direct perturbation for finite element models of thin-walled engineering constructions for sensitivity analysis of their strength, stiffness and dynamic characteristics to the change in their thickness are proposed. The approach for prediction of distribution for natural frequencies migration as result of change in their thickness are presented. The applicability of the linearized models to determine displacements, stresses and natural frequencies slightly thinned design compared to the nominal (original) are shown. The examples of test problems are given.

In this paper, a new procedure is proposed to study the deformation errors for spiral milling process of blade, which can be simplified as a stepwise beam based on the geometry and clamping characteristics. Kirchhoff beam theory is adopted to analyze the bending and torsion deformation. The relationship between machining deformation errors and the workpiece’s geometric dimension are also established based on the simplified model. Corresponding algorithms are realized by MATLAB codes. Experiment test shows that the results predicted by the proposed model are in well agreement with measured ones.

Connection is an important element in structural steelwork construction. Eurocode does not provide adequate design information for mechanical properties prediction of top-seat flange cleat connection, especially for thin-walled cold-formed steel structures. Adopting hot-rolled design with neglecting thin-walled behaviour could lead to unsafe or uneconomic design. This research aims to provide accurate mechanical properties prediction for bolted top-seat flange cleat connection in cold-formed steel structures. The scope of work focuses on the effect of various thickness of the flange cleat to the rotational stiffness and strength behaviour of a beam-to-column connection. Experimentally verified and validated finite element modelling technique is applied in the parametric investigation. Two categories of flange cleat thickness, ranged from 2 mm to 40 mm are studied. From the developed numerical models, it is observed that Eurocode has overestimated the initial rotational stiffness prediction, calculated with component method. The over-estimation would influence the overall stiffness of structures and force distribution within the components. As a conclusion, a set of newly proposed accurate predictions for initial rotational stiffness and strength of cold-formed steel top-seat flange cleat connection, with the influence of the thickness of flange cleat is presented.

The paper presents the results of numerical tests of impact and energy absorption capacity of thin-walled columns, subjected to axial impact loading, made of aluminum alloy, and having a square cross-section and spherical indentations on their lateral surfaces. The numerical models were validated using an experiment that was conducted on the Instron CEAST 9350 High Energy System drop hammer. Material properties of the applied aluminum alloy were determined on the basis of a static tension test. The crushing behavior of the columns and some crashworthiness indicators were investigated. On the basis of the results of the conducted analyses, conclusions were drawn about the most beneficial design/constructional variants in terms of achieved crashworthiness parameters.

This study investigated the axial compressive performance of six thin-walled concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) square column specimens with steel bar stiffeners and two non-stiffened specimens at constant temperatures of 20 °C, 100 °C, 200 °C, 400 °C, 600 °C and 800 °C. The mechanical properties of the specimens at different temperatures were analyzed in terms of the ultimate bearing capacity, failure mode, and load–displacement curve. The experiment results show that at high temperature, even though the mechanical properties of the specimens declined, leading to a decrease of the ultimate bearing capacity, the ductility and deformation capacity of the specimens improved inversely. Based on finite element software ABAQUS, numerical models were developed to calculate both temperature and mechanical fields, the results of which were in good agreement with experimental results. Then, the stress mechanism of eight specimens was analyzed using established numerical models. The analysis results show that with the increase of temperature, the longitudinal stress gradient of the concrete in the specimen column increases while the stress value decreases. The lateral restraint of the stiffeners is capable of restraining the steel outer buckling and enhancing the restraint effect on the concrete.

A method for predicting the stability of thin-walled workpiece milling process is described. The proposed approach takes into account the dynamic characteristics of workpiece changing with tool positions. A dedicated thin-walled workpiece representative of a typical industrial application is designed and modeled by finite element method (FEM). The workpiece frequency response function (FRF) depending on tool positions is obtained. A specific 3D stability chart (SC) for different spindle speeds and different tool positions is then elaborated by scanning the dynamic properties of workpiece along the machined direction throughout the machining process. The dynamic optimization of cutting parameters for increasing the chatter free material removal rate and surface finish is presented through considering the chatter vibration and forced vibration. The investigations are compared and verified by high speed milling experiments with flexible workpiece.

Nondestructive methods, to calculate the buckling load of imperfection sensitive thin-walled structures, such as large-scale aerospace structures, are one of the most important techniques for the evaluation of new structures and validation of numerical models. The vibration correlation technique (VCT) allows determining the buckling load for several types of structures without reaching the instability point, but this technique is still under development for thin-walled plates and shells. This paper presents and discusses an experimental verification of a novel approach using vibration correlation technique for the prediction of realistic buckling loads of unstiffened cylindrical shells loaded under axial compression. Four different test structures were manufactured and loaded up to buckling: two composite laminated cylindrical shells and two stainless steel cylinders. In order to characterize a relationship with the applied load, the first natural frequency of vibration and mode shape is measured during testing using a 3D laser scanner. The proposed vibration correlation technique allows one to predict the experimental buckling load with a very good approximation without actually reaching the instability point. Additional experimental tests and numerical models are currently under development to further validate the proposed approach for composite and metallic conical structures.

Vibration analysis is one method of machining process monitoring. The vibration obtained in machining is often nonlinear and of a nonstationary nature. Therefore, an appropriate signal analysis is needed for signal processing and feature extraction. In this research, vibrations obtained in the milling of thin-walled workpieces were analyzed using the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT). The features obtained by the HHT served as machining-state indicators for machining process monitoring. Experimental results showed the effectiveness of the HHT method for detecting chatter and tool damage.

In this paper a system for the automatic determination of the material removal rate during laser milling process is presented. “Laser milling” can be defined as an engraving process with a strictly controlled penetration depth. In industrial applications, when a new material have to be machined or a change in the system set-up occur the user has to perform a time-consuming experimental campaign in order to determine the correlation between the material removal rate and the process parameters. In these cases the numerical models present some limits due to the elevated calculation time requested to simulate the laser milling of industrial features. In the proposed system, based on a regression model approach, the empirical coefficients, that provide the material removal rate, are automatically generated by a specific software according to the different materials that have to be processed. A description of the automated method and the results obtained in engraving TiAl6V4 and Inconel 718 superalloy with a fiber laser are presented. The system can be adapted to every combination of material/laser source.
