This paper studied the characteristics of the bimorph piezoelectric vibrator for piezoelectric pump. By simulating the working conditions of the vibration in the pump, we constructed a dynamic model and derived the bending vibration equations of the piezoelectric vibrator under different support conditions. Then the analysis of finite element simulation is carried out for the equations, through which the vibration mode of the multi-order modal of the piezoelectric vibrator was acquired, and the relationship between the deformation deflection and peripheral support stiffness of the piezoelectric vibrator was analyzed. Finally, the deformation of the piezoelectric vibrator was tested. It is found that the test results are consistent with the conclusions of the finite element simulation, which provides a theoretical basis for the optimal design of the bimorph piezoelectric vibrator.

Abstract A finite element model was developed to simulate the tire-rim interface. Elastomers were modeled by nonlinear incompressible elements, whereas plies were simulated by cord-rubber composite elements. Gap elements were used to simulate the opening between tire and rim at zero inflation pressure. This opening closed when the inflation pressure was increased gradually. The predicted distribution of contact pressure at the tire-rim interface agreed very well with the available experimental measurements. Several variations of the tire-rim interference fit were analyzed.

Abstract This paper extends the finite element simulation scheme to handle the problem of tires undergoing sliding (skidding) impact into obstructions. Since the inertial characteristics are handled by the algorithm developed, the full range of operating environments can be accommodated. This includes the treatment of impacts with holes and bumps of arbitrary geometry.
