This paper presents a new method which combined multi-body dynamics theory and finite element technology to calculate transient stress of the crankshaft of the large-scale reciprocating compressor. On the basis of multi-body dynamics theory, the kinematical simulation of the crankshaft, the connecting rod, the piston and other components were performed, and thus to get the vibration modal of the crankshaft. So we can judge whether the crankshafts torsional resonance will happen, as well as get the real loads on the crankshaft when it worked. Then the transient stress of the crankshaft can be calculated using finite element technology. Comparing to traditional stress calculating methods, this new method not only considers the variable inertia which caused by reciprocating masss movement, but also can calculate the integrated vibration stress of crankshaft in three directions, including torsion, lateral and axial. Therefore, this method can describe dynamic characteristics of the crankshaft more accurately and more entirely.

The geometric error is the important aspect of affecting the process accuracy of NC machine. In order to improve the machining accuracy, the article gives a new method to compute the cutter path by making use of the error model of MAKINO based on multi-body theory. By comparing the errors which is not divided with the errors that is divided, the study shows that dividing the errors into different regions is an effective method that can improve the accuracy of machine tools. Combing the new method and the error compensation based on multi-body theory, the error partition can be easily used in the compensation of machine tools by modifying the G code.

In view of the problems of large stress and severe bearing heating in double-drum winch at present, this paper adopted a new method to enhance bearing capacity for double-drum winch by adding anti-pressure wheels between two drums. Finite element methods were used to analyze the strength of 4000kN-traction double-drum winches with anti-pressure wheels and without anti-pressure wheels respectively. The results of the analysis revealed that the stress of the cylinder bearing decreased from 264MPa to 167MPa. The new method by adding anti-pressure wheels had remarkably improved the endurance of the bearing. Therefore, the design method can be widely used in large-traction double-drum winch.

The present article introduces a new method to solve the radiative transfer equation (RTE). First, a finite element discretization of the solid angle dependence is derived, wherein the coefficients of the finite element approximation are functions of the spatial coordinates. The angular basis functions are defined according to finite element principles on subdivisions of the octahedron. In a second step, these spatially dependent coefficients are discretized by spatial finite elements. This approach is very attractive, since it provides a concise derivation for approximations of the angular dependence with an arbitrary number of angular nodes. In addition, the usage of high-order angular basis functions is straightforward. In the current paper the governing equations are first derived independently of the actual angular approximation. Then, the design principles for the angular mesh are discussed and the parameterization of the piecewise angular basis functions is derived. In the following, the method is applied to two-dimensional test cases which are commonly used for the validation of approximation methods of the RTE. The results reveal that the proposed method is a promising alternative to the well-established practices like the Discrete Ordinates Method (DOM) and provides highly accurate approximations. A test case known to exhibit the ray effect in the DOM verifies the ability of the new method to avoid ray effects.

Finite element model of track in frog zone is built by vehicle-turnout system dynamics. Considering variation of rail section and elastic support, bending deformation of turnout sleeper, spacer block and sharing pad effects, the track integral rigidity distribution in longitudinal direction is calculated in the model. Vehicle-turnout rigid-flexible coupling model is built by finite element method (FEM), multi-body system (MBS) dynamics and Hertz contact theory. With the regularity solution that different stiffness is applied for rubber pad under sharing pad of different turnout sleeper zone, analysis the variation of vertical acceleration of bogie and wheelset, rail vertical displacement and wheel-rail interaction force, this paper proves that setting reasonable rubber pad stiffness is an efficient method to solve rigidity irregularity problem.

Zahnstange-Ritzel-Antriebe werden vorwiegend in großen Werkzeugmaschinen eingesetzt. Um die hohen Genauigkeitsanforderungen moderner Produktionsanlagen zu erreichen, werden diese Antriebe elektrisch verspannt. Die Verspannung ist konstant. Dieser Beitrag beschreibt eine neuartige Methode, die sogenannte adaptive Verspannung. Ziel ist es, den Energiebedarf und die Belastung des Antriebssystems durch Anpassung der Verspannung während des Betriebs zu reduzieren, ohne die Genauigkeit zu beeinflussen.   Rack-and-pinion-drives are mostly used in large machine tools. To achieve the high accuracy specifications of modern production facilities, these drives are electrically preloaded. The preload is constant. This article describes a new method of so-called adaptive preloading. The aim is to reduce energy demand and wear of the drive system by adjusting the preload during operation without affecting the accuracy.
