The flow in a centrifugal impeller is analyzed by a quasi-three-dimensional streamline curvature method, by a three-dimensional Euler code, and by a three-dimensional finite element potential flow method. Comparison with Eckardt’s published data for a backswept impeller shows that full three-dimensional methods better predict the loading at the hub and shroud.

Countersunk and snap riveted single lap joints have been examined both experimentally and numerically. A total of 11 specimens were fatigued to failure with failures occurring in either the plate or the rive***r. The failures have been metallurgically examined to determine the cause of failure. The joints have also been analysed using the finite element method. Initially a single lap joint has been modelled as a ‘stepped plate’ and the results for the stress concentration factor found to be in reasonable agreement with published data. However, the stress concentration for this joint occurred at a point away from the point of failure of a riveted joint. A fuller three-dimensional finite element model has been constructed and the stress patterns around the rivet determined. These stress patterns are discussed in relation to the results from the metallurgical examination.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.
