AbstractAdopting the DEFORM software for the finite element analysis, this study simulated steady-state plastic deformation of the sheet at the roll-gap during asymmetrical sheet rolling. Using FEM code DEFORM, the effects of roll speed ratio, roll radius ratio, friction factor ratio upon the curvature of the rolled product and rolling force were systematically discussed. With a view to verifying the validity of the study simulated, a series of experiments on asymmetrical cold sheet rolling using Aluminum sheet as specimen are carried out. The comparisons between numerical and experimental results show good agreement. Therefore, this numerical model using DEFORM software can offer useful knowledge for designing the pass-schedule of asymmetrical sheet rolling.

A novel truing and dressing method, namely fiber laser assisted truing and dressing diamond wheel, is proposed to overcome the shortcomings associated with conventional mechanical dressing methods, ELID and ECD methods. A series of experiments have been conducted to prove that it achieves both high truing efficiency and good dressing quality. The finite element analysis of temperature distribution in fiber laser assisted truing and dressing diamond wheel using ANSYS is performed by author. Temperature field simulation helps to select optimized parameters under certain conditions.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the deformation mechanism of voids and stress-strain distributions around internal voids inside the sheet during sheet rolling processes. The plastic deformation and flow pattern of sheets during sheet rolling were simulated by the finite element method. The influences of various rolling conditions, such as the thickness reduction, the dimension of the internal void, friction factor, cross-sectional area of the void, etc., on the dimension of the void at the exit are discussed. The critical thickness reductions, over which the void would close completely, were also investigated. Furthermore, experiments on sheet rolling with an internal void inside the sheet were conducted. Theoretical predictions of the dimension of voids after rolling were compared with experimental results and relatively good agreement between them was found. Clearly, these analytical results can provide useful knowledge for designing the pass-schedule of sheet rolling processes for eliminating internal voids.

The concept for die-geometry design is shown to suppress void growth in multi-pass drawing. First, the void index to evaluate the void fraction in multi-pass drawing was newly proposed based on the well-known equation to predict the fracture limit in cold working. Using finite element analysis, the influence of die geometries on the void index was investigated and it was clarified that the extra-low-angle die is effective whatever reduction in area is adopted. Moreover, dies were designed to have the effect of suppressing void with the minimum die length. A series of experiments was then carried out that successfully verified the numerical results.

Electrolytic tough pitch copper is commonly used in electric and electronic applications while fine copper wires are widely used in electronic conductors. A multi-pass wiredrawing process was designed for the manufacturing of fine pure copper wire, from 0.50 mm to 0.10 mm in diameter. The analytical model and the finite element analysis (FEA) were performed to validate the pass schedule design. The initial wire was mechanically characterized, and the pass schedule design was stablished by the analytical method according to the specific criteria. The sequence of wiredrawing passes was modeled in the finite element method (FEM) software in order to analyze and validate the designed pass schedule. The combination of these methods allowed designing and validating the wiredrawing pass schedule to implement it in a real process with guaranteed results. This work contributes in showing a combined methodology for the design and virtual validation of the pass schedule in the case of multistage wiredrawing of ETP copper fine wires.

Abstract The finite element method, which is a numerical discretization technique for obtaining approximate solutions to complex physical problems, is accepted in many industries as the primary tool for structural analysis. Computer graphics is an essential ingredient of the finite element analysis process. The use of interactive graphics techniques for analysis of tires is discussed in this presentation. The features and capabilities of the program used for pre- and post-processing for finite element analysis at GenCorp are included.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.

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.

We propose a model to give us a method to investigate the characteristic three-dimensional directivity in an arbitrarily configured flexible electret-based loudspeaker. In recent years, novel electret loudspeakers have attracted much interest due to their being lightweight, paper thin, and possessing excellent mid- to high-frequency responses. Increasing or decreasing the directivity of an electret loudspeaker makes it excellent for adoption to many applications, especially for directing sound to a particular area or specific audio location. Herein, we detail a novel electret loudspeaker that possesses various directivities and is based on various structures of spacers instead of having to use multichannel amplifiers and a complicated digital control system. In order to study the directivity of an electret loudspeaker based on an array structure which can be adopted for various applications, the horizontal and vertical polar directivity characteristics as a function of frequency were simulated by a finite-element analysis model. To validate the finite-element analysis model, the beam pattern of the electret loudspeaker was measured in an anechoic room. Both the simulated and experimental results are detailed in this article to validate the various assertions related to the directivity of electret cell-based smart speakers.
