Linearized Model

In this paper, modeling, simulation and experimental validation of a magnetic ball suspension system are presented. Non-linear empirical expressions for inductance and electromagnetic force are determined using experimental data. A simple PID controller and a Gain scheduling PID controller are designed based on the linearized model. The controllers are used in real time levitation and tracking of a steel ball. Numerical simulation is carried out using Simulink. The derived model is verified by comparing the simulation results with experimental results.

Energy Absorbing

A 7.8m/s vertical drop simulate of a full composite fuselage section was conducted with energy-absorbing floor to evaluate the crashworthiness features of the fuselage section and to predict its dynamic response to dummies in future. The 1.52m diameter fuselage section consists of a high strength upper fuselage frame, one stiff structural floor and an energy-absorbing subfloor constructed of Rohacell foam blocks. The experimental data from literature [6] were analyzed and correlated with predictions from an impact simulation developed using the nonlinear explicit transient dynamic computer code MSC.Dytran. The simulated average acceleration did not exceed 13g, by contrast with experimental results, whose relative error is less than 11%. The numerical simulation results agree with experiments well.

Simulation Results

Numerical simulations play a significant role in explosion in a mass of soil due to an underground explosive. Common methods available in hydrocode for fluid-solid coupling process are contact algorithm, Lagrange algorithm, and Arbitrary Lagrange-Euler (ALE) algorithm. A numerical simulation of explosion process with concentrated charge in a mass of soil was carried out by using three methods in this paper. The dynamic response of soil medium, the formation and development law of explosion cavity and the explosion wave propagation law in soil were simulated. Merits and drawbacks of three different methods are analyzed in the aspect of modeling, simulation results and computing cost.

Local Contact

In the paper a model of a local contact of a polymer-based nanocomposite was developed within the method of a movable cellular automaton. The features of mechanical behavior of nanocomposite at the mesoscale level under dry sliding were studied with explicit account for the microprofile of the counterbody surface and the characteristic sizes of nanofiller. Factors that contribute to the conditions for the formation of a stable tribofilm of silica nanoparticles are analyzed. Two other parameters like sample geometry and the value of relative sliding velocity are also examined. It is shown that the thickness of tribofilm depends on stress conditions at the contact, and the friction coefficient decreases with increasing sliding velocity similar to one observed experimentally. To ensure the low friction properties of polymer nanocomposite, particles whose sizes are comparable with the characteristic size of the substrate microprofile are preferred. Results of numerical simulation are in good correlation with available experimental data.

Aluminum Alloy 7075

In this paper, an advanced 3D FE model was established using ABAQUS Explicit to simulate the process of milling aluminum-alloy 7075-T7451. Taking the end edge and the side edge of single flute into consideration, the model simulated the interaction between the spiral flute and wokpiece at full depth of cut. In addition, by defining automatic element deletion criterion and locally refining mesh, this model realized chip separating from workpiece without defining of cutting layer. The simulation results were compared with experimental data to verify the correctness of the simulation model.

Simulation Results

Numerical simulation results are shown to determine the heating in liquids when a solar cooker box type with internal reflector is used to this end. The data evaluated correspond to temperature values from bee honey, olive oil, milk and water when they are heated in the solar cooker. The maximum simulation temperatures reached are 91.8, 91.6, 86.2 and 85.3 °C that correspond to bee honey, olive oil, milk and water respectively. A comparative between simulation and experimental results also are shown. The values presented evidence the influence of the specific heat in each fluid considered. In the numerical simulation were used solar radiation and environment temperature values for February 26, 2006 in Mexico City. The experimental data were acquired using an Eppley piranometer and a Field Point device and were used as initial numerical conditions in the simulation. The processing information acquired was made using the LabView 7.0 software.
