Drive Axle Housing

In actual engineering, the drive axle of vehicles is often enlarged to prevent it from being damaged. However, the enlargement will increase the weight of the vehicle, pushing up fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. This common practice is obviously detrimental to the environment and sustainable development. To meet the stiffness and strength requirements on the drive axle housing of Steyr heavy trucks, this paper carries out finite-element analysis on the stiffness and strength of the axile housing under different working conditions, in the light of its actual stress features. According to the production process of drive axle housing in truck, the authors reviewed the development of the materials for high-strength axle housing, which could be properly formed through hot stamping, cold stamping, and mechanical expansion, and briefly introduced the structural features of drive axle housing. Then, a drive axle model was established in the three-dimensional (3D) drawing software Pro/ENGINEER, and converted into a finite-element model in Pro/Mechanica by calling the meshing command. On this basis, the static load of axle housing was analyzed under four working conditions: maximum vertical force, maximum traction, maximum braking force, and maximum lateral force. Finite-element analysis was performed on the meshed model to obtain the displacement and stress cloud maps of the axle housing under each working condition. The results show that the drive axle housing satisfy the requirements on strength, stiffness, and deformation. To sum up, this research improves the design efficiency and quality of products through finite-element analysis on the stiffness and strength of drive axle housing.

The chapter discusses the simulation of thermal operating conditions and the optimization of the design of solar photovoltaic thermal modules. As a realization of the developed method, two photovoltaic thermal modules with one-sided solar cells with one-sided heat removal and two-sided solar cells with two-sided heat removal are presented. The components of the developed models of solar modules must be optimized on the basis of the required indicators of the thermal mode of operation of the modules. For this task, a method has been developed for visualizing thermal processes using the Ansys system of finite element analysis, which has been used to research thermal modes of operation and to optimize the design of the modules created. With the help of the developed method, the temperature fields of the module components, coolant velocity and its flow lines in the developed models of a planar photovoltaic thermal roofing panel and a concentrator photovoltaic thermal two-sided module are visualized.

The Finite Element Analysis

One of the problems in installing cableway is the estimation of the tension. The mechanical model of coastal shore-to-ship transmission cableway was analyzed with catenary algorithm, compared with the finite element analysis of ANSYS software. The result shows that the tension and its changing amplitude are both gradually decreasing with the increase of the deflection. And, if the deflection is determined, the tension is decreasing with the increase of cableway’s span. These analysis results and conclusions can give the basis to safe installation of the cableway.

Bolted connections are largely employed in various types of engineering structures to transfer loads from one member to another. In particular, the off-shore industry has made extensive use of these connections, predominantly at the sub-sea level. In spite of their advantages, bolted joints are critical regions and may become sources of structural weakness due to large stress concentrations. Under severe operating conditions, micro-cracks can develop in the bolt, creating regions of elevated stress which may significantly reduce the integrity of the connection and ultimately lead to failure. This paper presents the three-dimensional finite element analysis of a steel locked bolt assembly aimed to assess the effect of micro-cracks on the structural integrity of the assembly using the commercial finite element package ANSYS. Non-linear contact between the bolt and nut threads is considered, where frictional sliding between components is allowed. A bi-linear isotropic hardening model is used to account for non-linear material behavior. The assembly is loaded by applying a pre-load of fifty percent of the yield stress of the material, according to the API-6A Norm. Two geometric models are investigated: a healthy locked bolt assembly with no initial cracks; and a damaged model, where a circular crack is introduced at the root of the bolt threads. The effect of the crack size is studied by modeling the crack with three different radius sizes. The J-Integral fracture mechanics methodology was used to study the stress concentrations in the damaged model.

Universal Spindle

For the problem of balance bearing of universal spindle in rolling mill being prone to damage, the paper established mechanical model and finite element model of universal spindle. The paper has analyzed that the shear and bending moment in the middle of the shaft is the largest. The fillet near shoulder of balance bearing of the spindle is dangerous part. In order to reduce principal stress of universal spindle caused by moment, the paper improved balance mode of the spindle. The equilibrant was applied from in one place of shaft to put in two places. After optimizing, equivalent stress of the spindle is slight smaller than before under the same loading condition, which illustrates that the strength of the spindle is appropriately improved. Although the effect is not obvious, this has played a guiding role for the optimization of balance mode of universal spindle.
