For painless skin penetration, microneedles require optimal geometry due to human skin’s inherent elastic properties. The fabrication of desired shape microneedle is very critical. To our knowledge, the polygonal geometry microneedle has not been investigated before. To address this issue, in this communication, we propose a novel cleanroom free fabrication of single metal microneedle with square cross section. The microneedle was fabricated using sputtering technique without any mask or template. The morphological analysis with respect to various sputtering parameters via. Argon (Ar) pipe position, rotating speed, working pressure was discussed in detail. The microneedle geometry, its assisted pain was visualized using finite element analysis (FEM). The theoretical evaluations were subsequently compared with experimentally fabricated microneedle. This is the first step towards more rational design of polygonal microneedle geometry.

The Finite Element Model

In order to study the static and dynamical characteristics of the crankshaft, ANSYS software was used to carry out the corresponding calculations. The entity model of the crankshaft was established by UG software firstly, and then was imported into ANSYS software for meshing, and then the finite element model of the crankshaft was constructed. The crankshaft satisfied the requirement of stiffness and strength through static analysis. The top six natural frequencies and corresponding shapes were acquired through modal analysis, and the every order critical rotating speed of the crankshaft was calculated. The fatigue life of the crank was calculated by fatigue module of ANSYS software finally. These results offered the theoretical guidance for designing, manufacturing and repairing the crankshaft.

The Collaborative Research Centre 1153 (CRC 1153) “Process chain for the production of hybrid high-performance components through tailored forming” aims to develop new process chains for the production of hybrid bulk components using joined semi-finished workpieces. The subproject B1 investigates the formability of hybrid parts using cross-wedge rolling. This study investigates the reduction of the coating thickness of coaxially arranged semi-finished hybrid parts through cross-wedge rolling. The investigated parts are made of two steels (1.0460 and 1.4718) via laser cladding with hot-wire. The rolling process is designed by finite element (FE)-simulations and later experimentally investigated. Research priorities include investigations of the difference in the coating thickness of the laser cladded 1.4718 before and after cross-wedge rolling depending on the wedge angle β, cross-section reduction ∆A, and the forming speed ν. Also, the simulations and the experimental trials are compared to verify the possibility of predicting the thickness via finite element analysis (FEA). The main finding was the ability to describe the forming behavior of coaxially arranged hybrid parts at a cross-section reduction of 20% using FEA. For a cross-section reduction of 70% the results showed a larger deviation between simulation and experimental trials. The deviations were between 0.8% and 26.2%.

Flat Steel

Due to its outstanding aerodynamic shape and light weight, the trapezoidal cross-section flat steel box girder with orthotropic decks and thin-walled longitudinal stiffeners of trapezoidal cross section are widely used in long-span suspension bridges in the world. However, because of the geometrical characteristics and the relative flexibility of their components, these structures may be quite susceptible to traffic loadings that fatigue cracks tend to appear in these structures. In this paper, Jiangyin Bridge is used as a case study to investigate the fatigue performance of the steel girders of suspension bridge Jiangyin Bridge is the second longest bridge in China, which has the main span of 1385m. The stress analysis of steel box girders is firstly carried out based on the analysis of fatigue life. Fatigue assessment method is proposed on the basis of in-situ measurement data combined with finite element analysis. A complete fatigue assessment is made in this paper. Key words: flat steel box girder; orthotropic decks; finite element analysis; fatigue assessment

Elastic Distortion

The untwist of rotating blades in turbomachines treated so far in the literatare simply as a pure elasticity problem is generalized and formulated rigorously as a problem of aeroelasticity by variational principles (VPs) and generalized VP (GVP). It takes into account not only the centrifugal force, but also the aeroelastic interaction between blades and the flow as well as the elastic distortion of the cross section shape of blades, assuming the material to be linearly elastic but nonisotropic. Thus, a new rigorous theoretical basis for the finite element analysis of blade untwist in turbomachine design is provided.

Full Scale Testing

This paper discusses the structural challenges associated with high axial temperature gradients and the corresponding internal cross section forces. A representative flexible pipe section designed for high operational temperature has been subject to full scale testing with temperature profiles obtained by external heating and cooling. The test is providing detailed insight in onset and magnitude of relative layer movements and layer forces. As part of the full-scale testing, novel methods for temperature gradient testing of unbonded flexible pipes have been developed, along with layer force- and deflection-measurement techniques. The full-scale test set-up has been subject to numerous temperature cycles of various magnitudes, gradients, absolute temperatures, as well as tension cycling to investigate possible couplings to dynamics. Extensive use of finite element analysis has efficiently supported test planning, instrumentation and execution, as well as enabling increased understanding of the structural interaction within the unbonded flexible pipe cross section. When exploiting the problem by finite element analysis, key inputs will be correct material models for the polymeric layers, and as-built dimensions/thicknesses. Finding the balance between reasonable simplification and model complexity is also a challenge, where access to high quality full-scale tests and dissected pipes coming back from operation provides good support for these decisions. Considering the extensive full scale testing, supported by advanced finite element analysis, it is evident that increased attention will be needed to document reliable operation in the most demanding high temperature flexible pipe applications.

The Finite Element Analysis

The space curve meshing wheel (SCMW) has been studied previously for small power transmission. To extend its application in conventional power transmission, the bending strength of the SCMW needs to be studied. In this paper, the tine's section of the SCMW is optimized, the mechanical model of the bending strength is deduced according to the equations for a couple of given contact curves of the SCMW, and the design formulas of the tines are newly deduced based on the equal bending strength principle. Finally, one design example of a SCMW with elliptical torus cross-section tines is provided. The result shows that the theoretical design attained from the presented formulas coincides with that from the finite element analysis. It dedicates that the SCMW possesses enough equal bending strength to be used to in conventional industrial gearing device design.
