AbstractThe present paper investigates the static equilibrium of a thin elastic structure with concave sidecut pressed against a flat rigid surface, as an idealization of a ski or snowboard undergoing the conditions of a carved turn. An analytical model is derived to represent the contact behaviour and provide an explanation for concentrated loads occurring at the sidecut extremities. The deformations are prescribed assuming tied contact along the sidecut line and neglecting torsional deformations. The loading conditions leading to this ideal deformed state are then sought, in order to better understand the mechanics of the turn. The results are illustrated with different sidecut geometries and compared with finite element computations for validation purposes. Depending on the function describing the sidecut line, concentrated force and moment are found to take place at the sidecut extremities.

The Finite Element Analysis

Accurate prediction of contact behaviour between machine tools and metals is required for the mechanical design of machinery. In this article, the numerical analysis of the contact behaviour is described by incorporating the subloading-overstress model [6] which is capable of describing the contact behaviour for a wide range of sliding velocity including the increase of coefficient of friction with the increase of sliding velocity. And its validity is verified by the comparison with some test results. First, in order to examine the influence of sliding velocities on the friction properties, the flat-surface friction tests for lubricated interfaces between galvannealed steel sheet and SKD-11 tool steel were performed. As a result, It is observed that the friction smoothly translate to kinetic friction, after exhibiting the peak at the static friction. In addition, it is observed that the higher the sliding velocity, the larger the friction resistance, meaning the positive rate sensitivity. Then the subloading-overstress model is implemented in the finite element analysis program ABAQUS/Standard, and it is used to simulate the flat-surface friction tests. The predictions from the finite element analysis are shown to be in very good agreement with experimental results.

The purpose of this study was to determinate , using the Finite Element Analysis Method, the mechanical stress in a solid body , temporary molar restored with the self-curing GC material. The originality of our study consisted in using an accurate structural model and applying a concentrated force and a uniformly distributed pressure. Molar structure was meshed in a Solid Type 45 and the output data were obtained using the ANSYS software. The practical predictions can be made about the behavior of different restorations materials.

This paper employs static atomistic simulations to investigate the effect of a void on the nanoindentation of Cu(111). The simulations minimize the potential energy of the complete system via finite element formulation to identify the equilibrium configuration of any deformed state. The size and depth of the void are treated as two variable parameters. The numerical results reveal that the void disappears when the indentation depth is sufficiently large. A stress concentration is observed at the internal surface of the void in all simulations cases. The results indicate that the presence of a void has a significant influence on the nanohardness extracted from the nanoindentation tests.

Flexible Disk

A rotating flexible disk separated from a rigid flat surface by a gas film is addressed. The gas film between the disk and the plate is represented by an incompressible Reynolds equation. Inertial effects are included. The disk is treated as a membrane where the tension is found from the plane stress solution for a spinning disk. Two different methods for the axisymmetric solution of this system are developed. The first uses the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The second method is a mixed numerical/perturbation procedure.

The study investigates the pullout strength of self-tapping pedicle screws using analytical, finite element, and experimental methodologies with focus on medical device applications. The stress distribution and failure propagation around implant threads in the synthetic bone during the pullout process, as well as the pullout strength of pedicle screws, are explored. Based on the FEA results, an analytical model for the pullout strength of the pedicle screw is constructed in terms of the synthetic bone material properties, screw size, and implant depth. The characteristics of pullout behavior of self-tapping pedicle screws are discussed. Both the analytical model and finite element results are validated using experimental techniques.

Abstract Co-simulation is a method which makes it possible to study the electric machine and its drive at once, as one system. By taking into account the actual inverter voltage waveforms in a finite element model instead of using only the fundamental, we are able to study the electrical machine's behavior in more realistic scenario. The recent increase in the use of variable speed drives justifies the research on such simulation techniques. In this paper we present the co-simulation of an inverter fed permanent magnet synchronous machine. The modelling method employs an analytical variable speed drive model and a finite element electrical machine model. By linking the analytical variable speed drive model together with a finite element model the complex simulation model enables the investigation of the electrical machine during actual operation. The methods are coupled via the results. This means that output of the finite element model serves as an input to the analytical model, and the output of the analytical model provides the input of the finite element model for a different simulation, thus enabling the finite element simulation of an inverter fed machine. The resulting speed and torque characteristics from the analytical model and the finite element model show a good agreement. The experiences with the co-simulation technique encourage further research and effort to improve the method.
