A mechanical and optimal analyses procedure is developed to assess the stresses and deformations of Novel Wound Composite Axial-Impeller under loading conditions particular to centrifuge. This procedure is based on an analytical method and Finite Element Analysis (FEA, commercial software ANSYS) results. A low-cost, light-weight, high-performance, composite turbomachinery impeller from differently designed patterns will be evaluated. Such impellers can economically enable refrigeration plants using water as a refrigerant (R718). To create different complex patterns of impellers, MATLAB is used for creating the geometry of impellers, and CAD software UG is used to build three-dimensional impeller models. Available loading conditions are: radial body force due to high speed rotation about the cylindrical axis and fluid forces on each blade. Two-dimensional plane stress and three-dimensional stress finite element analysis are carried out using ANSYS to validate these analytical mechanical equations. The von Mises stress is investigated, and maximum stress and Tsai-Wu failure criteria are applied for composite material failure, and they generally show good agreement.

The Finite Element Analysis

Being corrosion resistant, light weight, and easy to install at relatively low cost, Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipe (RTP) is now increasingly being used for offshore operations. RTP pipe in this study is mainly composed of three layers: a wound high strength fiber reinforced layer to improve the resistance of the pipe to internal pressure; a plastic inner layer to transport fluid; a plastic outer layer to protect the pipe. A precise calculation of the burst strength of RTP pipe will be useful for the safe use of RTP pipe’s internal pressure resistance. The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method and mathematical analysis are employed to study the properties of pipe under internal pressure. The Finite Element Analysis method is used to simulating the pipe under increasing internal pressure using ABAQUS. The model is established with the conventional shell element, and the anisotropic property of plastic is also considered in the model. In the mathematical analysis, the reinforcement layer of the pipe is assumed to be anisotropic and other layers are assumed to be isotropic. Based on the three-dimensional (3D) anisotropic elasticity theory, an exact elastic solution for burst strength of the pipe under internal pressure has been studied. This paper focus on the calculation of RTP pipe’s burst strength, using mathematical approach and FEA approach, on the basis of elaborated study of RTP pipe’s failure process. Our results from mathematical and FE simulation agree each other for burst pressure of the RTP pipe. Our FEA models are also compared with the experimental research in order to validate our FEA models.

Measurement Results

In this paper, a non-contact type video measurement technology is introduced, and the displacements of derrick model are measured by this technology. Then comparative analysis between this measurement results and the finite element analysis results showed that the precision of measurement displacement of derrick model used this technology is good. Therefore, this technology is an effective, convenient, safe, low cost, low labor and a new method of derrick displacement measurement.
