Abstract This article investigates the surface texture transfer mechanisms in lubricated skin pass rolling of metal strips with three-dimensional rough surfaces of both regular patterns and random surface asperity distributions. Two important steps have been completed. The first is the successful establishment of an efficient numerical method for predicting the 3D texture transfer. It was identified that the new method can be used reliably with the key complex factors coupled in skin pass rolling, such as the effects of lubricant and surface roughness. The second is the exploration of the texture transfer mechanisms with the aid of this new method. In addition, the effects of hydrodynamic pressure on the texture transfer efficiency were comprehensively investigated by a dynamic explicit finite element analysis. It was found that lubrication plays a critical role in determining the surface texture transfer. The texture transfer ratio decreases with increasing the lubricant viscosity. A larger pressure coefficient brings about a lower texture transfer ratio, but a larger reduction ratio leads to a greater texture transfer.

Permanent magnet linear motors can cause thrust fluctuation due to cogging and end effects, which will affect the operation stability of the linear motor. In order to solve this problem, a new method of eliminating alveolar force by using phase-shifting and displacement is proposed in this paper. Taking the cylindrical permanent magnet linear motor as an example, the traditional cylindrical permanent magnet linear motor is divided into two unit-motors, and established finite element analysis model of cylindrical permanent magnet linear motor. It is different from other traditional methods, the thrust fluctuation was reduced by both phase-shifting and displacement simultaneously in this paper, and through simulation analysis, it is determined that the thrust fluctuation suppression effect was the best when the cogging distance was shifted by half. Furthermore, a comparative simulation was made on whether the magnetic insulating material was used. The simulation results show that: The method proposed in this paper can effectively suppress the thrust fluctuation of the cylindrical permanent magnet linear motor. And it can be applied to other similar motor designs. Compared with the traditional method of suppressing thrust fluctuation, the mechanical structure and the technological process of suppressing thrust fluctuation used in this method are simpler.

This study aims to enhance the compressive properties of sandwich composites containing extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam core and glass or carbon face materials by using carbon/vinyl ester and glass/vinyl ester composite Z-pins. The composite pins were inserted into foam cores at two different densities (15 and 30 mm). Compression test results showed that compressive strength, modulus and loads of the sandwich composites significantly increased after using composite Z-pins. Sandwich composites with 15 mm pin densities exhibited higher compressive properties than that of 30 mm pin densities. The pin type played a critical role whilst carbon pin reinforced sandwich composites had higher compressive properties compared to glass pin reinforced sandwich composites. Finite element analysis (FE) using Abaqus software has been established in this study to verify the experimental results. Experimental and numerical results based on the capabilities of the sandwich composites to capture the mechanical behaviour and the damage failure modes were conducted and showed a good agreement between them.

Abstract: In the case of an accident, inflatable restraints system plays a critical role in ensuring the safety of vehicle occupants. Frontal airbags have saved 44,869 lives, according to research conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).Finite element analysis is extremely important in the research and development of airbags in order to ensure optimum protection for occupant. In this work, we simulate a head impact test with a deploying airbag and investigate the airbag's parameters. The airbag's performance is directly influenced by the parameters of the cushion such as vent area and fabric elasticity. The FEM model is analysed to investigate the influence of airbag parameter, and the findings are utilised to determine an optimal value that may be employed in the construction of better occupant safety systems. Keywords: airbag, finite element method, occupant safety, frontal airbag, vent size, fabric elasticity, head injury criteria

Significant efforts are being devoted to the creation of replacement tissue for repair of defects in articular surfaces. Some success has been realized; yet, the normal zonal characterstics of articular cartilage throughout its thickness and normal material properties have not been reproduced in vitro in scaffolds nor in vivo in repairing defects. The fate of such transplanted scaffolds in vivo may be doomed mechanically from the outset if material properties of sufficient quality are not developed. The superficial tangential zone (STZ) has been shown to play a critical role in supporting axial loads and retaining fluids (Glazer and Putz, 2002, Torzilli, et al, 1983, Torzilli, 1993). Previous models have demonstrated excessive axial deformation of repair cartilage without the STZ (Smith, et al 2001, Wayne, et al, 1991) Additionally, modeling the STZ of normal cartilage as transversely isotropic has yielded better agreement with indentation experimental results than isotropic models (Korhonen, et al, 2002, Mow, et al, 2000, Cohen, et al, 1993). This study uses finite element analysis to model the STZ with a preferred direction parallel to the articulating surface, thereby simulating a “split-line” direction. The in-plane directions are modeled normal to the “split-line” direction and the articulating surface. Normal and repairing defects are modeled with the importance of the STZ emphasized.

Fatigue life prediction of solder joints is one of the most important areas of research in the development of reliable electronic packages. Recent trends in electronic package development indicate a shift toward smaller solder joints and larger package sizes, and temperature changes under field conditions are also becoming greater. Since reliability design of solder joints has become severer, the estimation of the crack propagation is becoming important like the estimation of the crack initiation. In the present study, a new method of estimating the crack propagation, which is based on finite element analysis without geometrical crack model, was examined, in order to ensure suitability for practical use in electronic package design. On the basis of a damage model assumed for Sn-37Pb solder, the new method called ‘damage path simulation’ was verified for solder joints in QFP (Quad Flat Package). In the case of solder joints of the gull-wing type, fatigue cracks are commonly initiated from the upper surface of the solder fillet, and propagated in the vicinity of the interface with the outer lead. It was clear that the extension of the damage path showed good agreement with the behavior of crack propagation observed in the actual thermal cycle tests. Damage path extension from a pointed end of outer lead is also simulated simultaneously with that from the upper surface of the solder fillet, and both damage paths were finally combined at a gap between outer lead and printed circuit board. The advantage of the present method is especially evident when the fatigue cracks were initiated from two or more regions. From the results of this study, it was concluded that the estimation of the crack propagation in solder joints based on the present method is satisfactory for engineering purposes.

The present paper investigates the potential application of Strain Induced Boundary Migration mechanism on the two different types of surface textures developed after α-γ-α phase transformation annealing, one with preferred cube and Goss orientation at the surface and the other with random surface texture without preferred orientations. It has been demonstrated that these surface texture components grow in across the thickness of the sheet after an appropriate combinations of a critical amount of rolling reductions and an annealing treatment at the recrystallisation temperature.
