STUDY OF HOLLOW STEMMED HIP BONE FORMING

This study investigated hollow stemmed hip forging for enhancing the biocompatibility of Ti-6AL-4V titanium alloys. Instead of using the expensive titanium billet, this study applied DEFORMTM 3D finite element analysis software to simulate and analyze stem forming with respect to different die temperatures, friction factors, punch types, forging velocities, and billet temperatures. On the basis of its shape, a punch can be classified as flat head, ladder shaped, spherical, and conical. These differences affect the effective stress and punch load after stem formation. The experiment parameters were determined using the Taguchi L16 (45) orthogonal table. Both the simulated and experimental results indicated that the error for the size of the bone stem was less than 2%.

Reversed Loading

The dynamic behavior of gangue concrete filled circular steel tube beam with different steel ratio under the cyclic loads are analyzed and studied based on finite element analysis software ABAQUS. Through reasonable modeling established, parameter set, an effective grid meshed, the hysteresis curve of gangue concrete filled circular steel tube beam under low-cycle reversed loading is given, and verified compared with the experimental results. The comparison shows that the simulated hysteretic curve gives results in close agreement with the experimental results. The simulated curve shows that there has the characteristic of spindle-shaped and no significant decline in stiffness of the hysteresis curve. And the fatness of hysteresis loop is better.

Element Method

Abstract The finite element method has been used widely in tire engineering. Most tire simulations using the finite element method are static analyses, because tires are very complex nonlinear structures. Recently, transient phenomena have been studied with explicit finite element analysis codes. In this paper, the authors demonstrate the feasibility of tire cornering simulation using an explicit finite element code, PAM-SHOCK. First, we propose the cornering simulation using the explicit finite element analysis code. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed simulation, computed cornering forces for a 175SR14 tire are compared with experimental results from an MTS Flat-Trac Tire Test System. The computed cornering forces agree well with experimental results. After that, parametric studies are conducted by using the proposed simulation.
