An optimization problem involving the thermal deflections of two parallel circular disks is examined. Error bounds are developed for both the finite-element solution and the optimization problem. The relationship between the errors is illustrated in a single bound.

Results of a numerical analysis completed in conjunction with the analytical development of a previous work are presented. The problem is an optimization study involving the thermal deflections of two parallel circular disks. The capability of choosing a mesh refinement to arbitrarily reduce approximation errors is illustrated and numerical convergence of the optimization process is demonstrated.

Nowadays, the compound fine-blanking forming process is one of the most important processes to produce complicate multifunctional parts without subsequent machining. However, the big die-roll occurs in the sharp area is a common problem in this process. In this paper, the method with negative punch-die clearance was proposed to solve this problem by comparing three feasible plans. In addition, the influence on the process with different value of the negative punch-die clearance was studied by the finite element method (FEM). The results of this study verified that the process with suitable value of the negative punch-die clearance can result in significant decrease of the die-roll size. The relationship between the material flow near the region of die-roll and the punch-die clearance was also clarified.

In this study, the predictive model of friction coefficient using cylindrical compression was constructed through combining the finite element method and neutral networks. Namely, the related data of the materials characters, cylinder compression bulging, and how they were associated with friction coefficient was obtained by the finite element method. Based on those analysis data, the relationship model, reflecting the relationship among the materials characters such as strength coefficient and strain-hardening exponent, the compression bulging such as reduction height, expanding in upper ending, expanding in bottom ending, maximum expanding in outside diameter and the friction coefficient in workpiece/die interface, was constructed. Finally, the cross verification between finite element analysis, prediction by neutral network model and the experiments of cylindrical compression testing and ring compression testing are repeatedly checked to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the constructed model. Results of the current study indicate that their errors are extremely limited, and the developed predictive system is reliable and feasible.

Extended finite element method (or XFEM) locally enriches the finite element solution using a priori known analytical solution. XFEM has been used extensively in fracture mechanics to compute stress concentration at crack tips. It is a mesh independent method that allows crack to be represented as an equation instead of using the mesh to approximate it. When this approach is used along with Implicit Boundary Finite Element Method (IBFEM) to apply boundary conditions, a fully mesh independent approach for studying crack tip stresses can be implemented. An efficient scheme for blending the enriched solution structure with the underlying finite element solution is presented. A ramped step function is introduced for modeling discontinuity or a crack within an element. Exact analytical solution is used as enrichment at the crack tip element to obtain the stress intensity factor (SIF) directly without any post processing or contour integral computation. Several examples are used to study the convergence and accuracy of the solution.

The paper presents a dynamic computational model and field test for analyzing the relationship between the rail natural frequencies and the longitudinal temperature stress by means of the finite element method. The essay use the infinite Timoshenko beam as the plane model to simulate continuous welded rail track structure and the rail model by means of the finite element method in order to its unit as a division of space elastomer. The test uses vertical incentive and horizontal incentive to encourage continuous welded rail track structure to get the rail natural frequencies. The measured data and the result of finite element analysis are compared, finds the results are consistent. The paper not only investigates the relationship between the rail’s dynamic characteristics and the longitudinal stress, but also provides a feasible method for test longitudinal stress of continuous welded rail track.

An elastoplastic analysis of hydrostatic extrusion is made using the finite element method. The effect of frictional coefficient on the spread of plastic zone, the pressure-displacement curve, and the stress and the strain distributions are studied for the non-steady state in plane-strain and axisymmetric extrusions. Comparisons of results between the finite element solution and slip-line solution and between plane-strain and axisymmetric extrusions are presented. Tensile stresses on the surface of the extruded part behind the die are found to exist. It is also found that the die pressure is high near the die entry and exit and that the surface of the billet in front of the die entry tends to contract.
