Flexible rubber joint is an important connecting pipe fitting in ship and chemical industry. However, the problems existing in its application, especially the stress distribution for each component of rubber joint structure, were lack of theoretical analysis. Therefore the finite element model of rubber joint was established according to its structure in this study. With the help of software, the stress characteristics of rubber joint under the axial tension and periodic dynamic load were analysed with the standard maximum internal pressure load and flanges bolt pretension together. The calculation results showed that the order of maximum stress in rubber joint components from big to small was: reinforcement ring, cord layer and rubber skeleton. In order to reduce the stress value at the weak area in the rubber components, the angles of the cord were studied and found that when the cord angle were 60°/-60°for 1,3,5/2,4,6 layer respectively, the maximum stress value for the reinforcement ring and cord fabrics were reduced obviously. After the life computation by the software, it was confirmed that the cord angle arrangement 60°/-60°for cord layers could significantly improve the service life of the rubber joint.

The aim of this paper is to design and fabricate a star die and a cylindrical die to produce a star shape by redrawing the cylindrical shape and comparing it to the conventional method of producing a star cup drawn from the circular blank sheet using experimental (EXP) and finite element simulation (FES). The redrawing and drawing process was done to produce a star cup with the dimension of (41.5 × 34.69mm), and (30 mm). The finite element model is performed via mechanical APDL ANSYS18.0 to modulate the redrawing and drawing operation. The results of finite element analysis were compared with the experimental results and it is found that the maximum punch force (39.12KN) recorded with the production of a star shape drawn from the circular blank sheet when comparing the punch force (32.33 KN) recorded when redrawing the cylindrical shape into a star shape. This is due to the exposure of the cup produced drawn from the blank to the highest tensile stress. The highest value of the effective stress (709MPa) and effective strain (0.751) recorded with the star shape drawn from a circular blank sheet. The maximum value of lamination (8.707%) is recorded at the cup curling (the concave area) with the first method compared to the maximum value of lamination (5.822%) recorded at the cup curling (the concave area) with the second method because of this exposure to the highest concentration of stresses. The best distribution of thickness, strains, and stresses when producing a star shape by

To research the load upper bracket of Francis hydroelectric unit, then established the finite-element model, and analyzed the structure stress of 7 operating condition points with the ANSYS software. By the strain rosette test, acquired the data of stress-strain in the area of stress concentration of the upper bracket. The inaccuracy was considered below 5% by analyzing the contradistinction between the finite-element analysis and the test, and match the engineering precision and the test was reliable. The finite-element method could be used to judge the stress of the upper bracket, and it could provide reference for the Structural optimization and improvement too.

In this paper, the bionic membrane structure is introduced to improve the aerodynamic performance of nano rotor at the low Reynolds number. The aerodynamic characteristics of nano rotor made of hyperelastic material as membrane blades are studied. Firstly, based on the hyperelastic constitutive model, a finite element model of the rotor is established and compared with the results of the modal test to verify the accuracy of the model. Then the computational fluid dynamics model of membrane nano rotor is established which combined with the finite element model. The aerodynamic characteristics of the membrane rotor under hovering conditions are studied using fluid–structure interaction method. It is found that the calculation results matched well with the experiment results. The design of the structural parameters such as the membrane proportion, shape, and position of the membrane rotor is optimized. The influence of each parameter on the aerodynamic performance of the rotor is obtained. Under certain structural conditions, the performance can be effectively improved, which provides a new idea for the design of the nano rotor.

The natural frequencies of circular saws limit the operating speeds of the saws. Current industry methods of increasing natural frequency include pretensioning, where plastic deformation is induced into the saw. To better model the saw, the finite element model is compared to current software for steel saws; C-SAW, a software program that calculates frequencies for stiffened circular saws. Using C-SAW and the finite element method the results are compared and the finite element method is validated for steel saws.

Thermal drainage consolidation method is a new technology of soft foundation treatment, which involves the coupling of thermo-hydro-mechanical field, and the action mechanism is complex. In this paper, taking the model test of thermal drainage consolidation as the prototype, the finite element model of thermal drainage consolidation is established by using Abaqus software, then, the numerical results are obtained and are compared with the results of model test, and the reliability of the numerical model is verified. The results show that when the applied load is constant, the higher the temperature is, the faster the consolidation speed of soil is, but with the increase of temperature, the consolidation effect of the same temperature difference will gradually weaken. In addition, the thermal drainage consolidation method can achieve the best treatment effect when the temperature of the soil reaches 60 ℃.

In order to study the static and dynamical characteristics of the crankshaft, ANSYS software was used to carry out the corresponding calculations. The entity model of the crankshaft was established by UG software firstly, and then was imported into ANSYS software for meshing, and then the finite element model of the crankshaft was constructed. The crankshaft satisfied the requirement of stiffness and strength through static analysis. The top six natural frequencies and corresponding shapes were acquired through modal analysis, and the every order critical rotating speed of the crankshaft was calculated. The fatigue life of the crank was calculated by fatigue module of ANSYS software finally. These results offered the theoretical guidance for designing, manufacturing and repairing the crankshaft.

Abstract A finite element analysis (FEA) model of the interaction of a nut and bolt was used to investigate the effects of sliding, friction, and yielding in a bolted connection. The finite element model was developed as a two-dimensional, axisymmetric system, which allowed the study of axial and radial loading and displacements. This model did not permit evaluation of hoop or torsional effects such as tightening or the helical thread form. Results presented in this paper include the distribution of load between consecutive threads, the relative sliding along thread faces, and the stress distribution and regions of yielding in the model. Finally, a comparison to previous, linear analysis work and to published experimental data is made to conclude the paper.
