This paper shows the finite element simulation of a representative specimen from the firewall section in the AEROMARMI ESTELA M1 aircraft. This specimen is manufactured in glass and carbon / epoxy laminates. The specimen is subjected to a load which direction and magnitude are determined by a previous dynamic loads study [10], taking into account the maximum load factor allowed by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) for utilitarian aircrafts [11]. A representative specimen is manufactured with the same features of the firewall. Meanwhile a fix is built in order to introduce the load directions on the representative specimen. The relationship between load and displacement is plotted for this representative specimen, whence the maximum displacement at the specific load is obtained, afterwards it is compared with the finite element model, which is modified in its laminate thicknesses in order to decrease the deviation error; subsequently this features could be applied to perform the whole firewall analysis in a future model [10].

This paper proposes a computation method using the equivalent magnetic circuit to analyze the driving force for the non-contact permanent magnet linear drive system. In this device, the magnetic driving force is related to the rotation angle of driving wheels. The relationship is verified by finite element analysis and measuring experiments. The result of finite element simulation is in good agreement with the model established by the equivalent magnetic circuit. Then experiments of displacement control are carried out to test the dynamic characteristic of this system. The controller of the system adopts the combination control of displacement and angle. The results indicate that the system has good performance in steady-state error and response speed, while the maximum overshoot needs to be reduced.

The Finite Element Model

The aim of this paper is to design and fabricate a star die and a cylindrical die to produce a star shape by redrawing the cylindrical shape and comparing it to the conventional method of producing a star cup drawn from the circular blank sheet using experimental (EXP) and finite element simulation (FES). The redrawing and drawing process was done to produce a star cup with the dimension of (41.5 × 34.69mm), and (30 mm). The finite element model is performed via mechanical APDL ANSYS18.0 to modulate the redrawing and drawing operation. The results of finite element analysis were compared with the experimental results and it is found that the maximum punch force (39.12KN) recorded with the production of a star shape drawn from the circular blank sheet when comparing the punch force (32.33 KN) recorded when redrawing the cylindrical shape into a star shape. This is due to the exposure of the cup produced drawn from the blank to the highest tensile stress. The highest value of the effective stress (709MPa) and effective strain (0.751) recorded with the star shape drawn from a circular blank sheet. The maximum value of lamination (8.707%) is recorded at the cup curling (the concave area) with the first method compared to the maximum value of lamination (5.822%) recorded at the cup curling (the concave area) with the second method because of this exposure to the highest concentration of stresses. The best distribution of thickness, strains, and stresses when producing a star shape by

When strong exercise on human being body, respectively, under knees 30°, 60°,90°, using PRO/E5.0 software to establish the transverse patella fracture and anti-shearing force patella claws 3D models, then the two structure models were assembled and imported into ABAQUS10.1 software to establish the finite element model of patellar fracture fixed within patella claw, and analyzed the mechanical performance in perforce finite element model. Under the same boundary conditions, the maximum displacement and deformation of each components were different at every flexion angle. Compared with anti-shearing force patella claw and AO tensile force girdle, the patella claw with stronger resistance to tension and anti-shearing force was more stable. Deformation and displacement of patella claw in accordance with biomechanical research result that is needed by clinical. Its stability will satisfy clinical requirements for functional exercise.

Topology Optimization Method

Topology optimization is a widely used lightweight design method for structural design of the collaborative robot. In this article, a topology optimization method for the robot lightweight design is proposed based on finite element analysis of the assembly so as to get the minimized weight and to avoid the stress analysis distortion phenomenon that compared the conventional topology optimization method by adding equivalent confining forces at the analyzed part’s boundary. For this method, the stress and deformation of the robot’s parts are calculated based on the finite element analysis of the assembly model. Then, the structure of the parts is redesigned with the goal of minimized mass and the constraint of maximum displacement of the robot’s end by topology optimization. The proposed method has the advantages of a better lightweight effect compared with the conventional one, which is demonstrated by a simple two-linkage robot lightweight design. Finally, the method is applied on a 5 degree of freedom upper-limb exoskeleton robot for lightweight design. Results show that there is a 10.4% reduction of the mass compared with the conventional method.

Ceramic ferrule that is a major part of the optic connectors requires a high level of precision in a grinding chamfer. After the grinding chamfer, there is a problem in that the subsurface damages cannot be removed. The objective of this study was to analyze the grinding force and the associated stress generated in a ceramic ferrule during cylindrically grinding chamfer using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). A two-dimensional finite element model was constructed with the grinding parameters and the mechanical properties of the ferrule as input variables. The size of the geometric model was the same with the ceramic ferrule. The experimental results achieved by the SEM photograph were compared with those from the FEM. The FEM results were in correlation with those of the experiments.

The paper presents results of finite element analysis of architectured iron-based shape memory alloy (SMA) samples consisting of bulk SMA and void combined to different proportions and according to different geometric patterns. The finite element simulation uses a constitutive model for iron-based SMAs that was recently developed by the authors in order to account for the behavior of the bulk material. The simulation of the architectured SMA is then carried out using a unit cell method to simplify calculations and reduce computation time. For each unit cell, periodic boundary conditions are assumed and enforced. The validity of this assumption is demonstrated by comparing the average behavior of one unit cell to that of a considerably larger sample comprising multiple such cells. The averaging procedure used is implemented numerically, by calculating volume averages of mechanical fields such as stress and strain over each finite element model considered as a combination of mesh elements.
