The Finite Element Model

Electronic modules for a guidance system are mounted in a rack with spring clips resisting motion normal to the printed wiring board (PWB) and an aluminum bar with an elastomer pad keeping the module connected to a backplane. The elastomer pad also resists motion normal to the board. The proper boundary conditions for the spring clips, retention bar, and connector are needed in a finite element model in order to evaluate the shock and vibration transmitted to the module’s electrical components. The finite element model of the module was assembled, and an actual module was tested under random vibration and a 1g sine sweep. The printed wiring board elastic modulus was artificially set higher in the FEM than a measured value to account for the stiffening effect of board components which were omitted from the model. By also choosing the proper boundary conditions to represent the spring clips, retention bars, and backplane connection, the finite element model was able to match the first and second mode frequencies from the hardware test results.

The Finite Element Model

A printed wiring board (PWB) with electronic components has been modeled using the finite element technique and compared with the same PWB experimentally tested in a chassis during a 2 hr random vibration test. Accelerometers were attached to the PWB in locations where nodes existed in the finite element model (FEM). The FEM predicted the first natural frequency to within 10 percent of the test results. Due to wedge locks that loosened during the test, the PWB accelerations in the finite element model and the test differed by as much as 40 percent. The ceramic capacitor on the PWB was modeled in detail with leads attached to the PWB to examine bending stresses in the leads. During the 2 hr test there were no failures for those leads with adequate solder joints. A failure did occur, however, on a lead with insufficient solder. A fatigue analysis of the FEM lead bending stresses indicated lead failure if no solder was used, whereas no failures were predicted for properly soldered leads.

In this paper, a method used to determine the boundary conditions of the Finite Element Model of a slender beam with measured structure modal parameters is presented. On deriving the method, the finite element model theory for dynamic calculating is used. Combined with the modal parameters from experiment, an FEM-modal parameter equation to determine the boundary conditions is put forward. For solving the equation, three methods are given. The first is the accurate method. The second is the full mode computation method by means of generalized inverse matrix. The third is the interpolation method of frequency. A numerical simulation with computer is given and the results of calculation fully verify the effectiveness of the method offered and also verify that the accuracy of the method is satisfying. Finally, an applied example is given and the results of calculation fully verify the effectiveness of the method offered.

The finite element model of the liner rolling guide of the CNC machine tool is established. Then the natural frequencies and the corresponding vibration modes of the liner rolling guide (LRG) are obtained by analyzing the finite element model (FEM) of the linear rolling guide in two different boundary conditions. By comparing the modal characters of the two states it is proved that the movable joint and bolted interfaces of the rail have certain effects on the dynamic performance of linear rolling guide. Besides, the liner rolling guide also have been tested dynamically, obtaining the modal parameters of the rail guide; finally, the validity of finite element model and the effect of boundary conditions on the interface of the linear rolling guide are verified by comparing the finite element analysis of frequency and experimental analysis of frequency

Cable Stayed Bridges

The model tuning through sensitivity analysis is a prominent procedure to assess the structural behavior and dynamic characteristics of cable-stayed bridges. Most of the previous sensitivity-based model tuning methods are automatic iterative processes; however, the results of recent studies show that the most reasonable results are achievable by applying the manual methods to update the analytical model of cable-stayed bridges. This paper presents a model updating algorithm for highly redundant cable-stayed bridges that can be used as an iterative manual procedure. The updating parameters are selected through the sensitivity analysis which helps to better understand the structural behavior of the bridge. The finite element model of Tatara Bridge is considered for the numerical studies. The results of the simulations indicate the efficiency and applicability of the presented manual tuning method for updating the finite element model of cable-stayed bridges. The new aspects regarding effective material and structural parameters and model tuning procedure presented in this paper will be useful for analyzing and model updating of cable-stayed bridges.

Abstract The objective of this study is to develop a finite element model of the human thorax with a protective body armor system so that the model can adequately determine the thorax’s biodynamical response from a projectile impact. The finite element model of the human thorax consists of the thoracic skeleton, heart, lungs, major arteries, major veins, trachea, and bronchi. The finite element model of the human thorax is validated by comparing the model’s results to experimental data obtained from cadavers wearing a protective body armor system undergoing a projectile impact.

Due to the environment, climate, loads and other factors, the pre-stress applied to the beam is not a constant. It is important for engineers to track the state of the pre-stress in order to ensure security of the bridge in service. To solve the problem mentioned above, the paper puts forward a new way to analyze the effective pre-stress using the displacement inversion method based on the inversion theory according to the measured vertical deflection of the bridge in service at different time. The method is a feasible way to predict the effective pre-stress of the bridge in service. Lastly, taking the pre-stressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridge for example, the effective pre-stress is analyzed by establishing the finite element model.
