The process of cotton ginning was simulated by the finite element method in order to improve and optimize the efficiency of the process. Based on the fractal theory, a new cotton model was established by observing the morphological structure of cotton: the fractal cotton model with cotton seed. Considering the existence of seeds in actual cotton, the model assumes that the cotton fiber bundles are distributed in a fractal structure and the section is simplified as a circle. The finite element simulation of the model was carried out using ANSYS Workbench software, and the viscoelastic material parameters of cotton fibers were determined under different moisture content, the effects of different moisture contents and rotation speeds on the saw type gin stand were analyzed, and the stress and strain nephograms of cotton at different times were checked. The simulation results showed that when moisture content was between 6.1% and 7.8%, the ginning efficiency is the highest. The higher the speed of the saw tooth, the more severe the effect of ginning, but too high a speed will also affect the quality of the cotton lint. The results showed that the simulation conclusions were in line with the actual situation, and the model had certain application value.

The connection performance of the large taper, multi-thread, variable pitch of screw threaded casing is researched by 3D finite element simulation on ANSYS Workbench. The 3D finite element model is created precisely. The stress distribution on the teeth of three kind variable pitch of screw threaded structure is studied by using the static structure of the contact analysis module. Contrasting stress distribution of the variable pitch of screw with of the equal pitch of screw under the same working condition, it is validated that design principle for the variable pitch of screw connection is correct. The influence of changes in the amount of variable pitch of screw to the whole stress distribution on teeth is discussed. The results show that the force distribution on the teeth of the variable pitch of screw connection is more uniform than equal pitch of screw, and will improve the overall carrying capacity. This study has its practical value to improve the connective performance of the threaded casing and enhance the product quality of threaded casing.

Joining two tubes of different diameters has important concerns in many industries and engineering applications. An eccentric reducer is often used in such applications. Therefore, a simple and easy technique for manufacturing an eccentric reducer is of much importance. The simplest technique for producing the eccentric reducers is the tube nosing through eccentric conical dies. In this paper the finite element simulation is used to investigate the eccentric nosing of circular tubes through an eccentric conical die. Simulation is performed to investigate the plastic deformations of the deformed tube and all the possible modes of failure during the eccentric nosing process. Identification of unfavorable modes of failure in the tube nosing process lead to design modification guidelines, design of preform, and the die shape, for the eccentric nosing process. The results obtained confirmed that the modified design of the tube blank not only improves the quality of the nosed-tube product but also reduces nosing load and improves the limiting nosing ratio. Comparison with the experimental results shows that the nosing load and the modes of failure are successfully predicted by the finite element simulation. Also, a preform design for the tube blank that can produce an eccentric reducer with collar end that did not need a trimming process is introduced.

The finite element modeling is established for reinforced concrete(RC) beam reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) using the serial/parallel mixing theory. The mixture algorithm of serial/parallel rule is studied based on the finite element method. The results obtained from the finite element simulation are compared with the experimental data. The comparisons are made for load-deflection curves at mid-span. The numerical analysis results agree well with the experimental results. Numerical results indicate that the proposed procedure is validity.

The 3d model of miter gate has been set up based on skeleton model of Pro/E, and it has been imported into ANSYS Workbench module for static structure analysis and modal analysis. In the process of finite element simulation, the rotational constraints has been imposed on the top and bottom pivot according to the actual operation situation of the miter gate, and obtain the first several order frequencies and corresponding modal vibration mode of the miter gate, which can show the hydrodynamic vibration stress and strain distribution. According to the results of the finite element simulation analysis, the prototype vibration test of the miter gate has been done. The test results show that the vibration amplitude and the stress and strain distribution of each part of the miter gate are corresponding to the vibration test.

The paper describes the results of a numerical study using Galerkin’s finite element method on an infinitely wide slider bearing. The analysis is based upon the generalized Reynolds equation with the assumption that the pressure gradient in the lubricating film is negligible in the axial direction. Detailed results for bearing characteristics including pressure, load capacity, frictional force, frictional coefficient as a function of film thickness ratio (aspect ratio), and velocity of slider show that these parameters have a strong influence on the bearing behavior. Specifically, it has been shown that friction coefficient and frictional force increases with lower aspect ratios. Also, higher load carrying and maximum pressure is obtained with increased speed of the slider Point wise comparison of the results obtained using the Finite Element Method and that obtained with second order Finite Difference marching Method using base parameters show that the latter simulation has a maximum point wise error of 0.46% in comparison to 0.32% for Finite Element simulation. It has been shown that the Finite Element Method produces more accurate results. The results are in tabular and graphical forms.

This paper presents a numerical method and computational results for acoustic noise of electromagnetic origin generated by an induction motor. The computation of noise incorporates three levels of numerical calculation steps, combining both the finite element method and boundary element method. The role of magnetic forces in the production of acoustic noise is established in the paper by showing the magneto-mechanical and vibro-acoustic pathway of energy. The conversion of electrical energy into acoustic energy in an electrical motor through electromagnetic, mechanical, or acoustic platforms is illustrated through numerical computations of magnetic forces, mechanical deformation, and acoustic noise. The magnetic forces were computed through 2D electromagnetic finite element simulation, and the deformation of the stator due to these forces was calculated using 3D structural finite element simulation. Finally, boundary element-based computation was employed to calculate the sound pressure and sound power level in decibels. The use of the boundary element method instead of the finite element method in acoustic computation reduces the computational cost because, unlike finite element analysis, the boundary element approach does not require heavy meshing to model the air surrounding the motor.

This paper deals with the problem of the front end bending arising in plate rolling. The problem, which is caused by unbalanced rolling, is investigated by the finite element simulation technique. Discussions are made on the effect of various unbalanced rolling conditions on the deformation of the front end. In particular, an empirical model is developed for the prediction of the curvature of the front end rolled under the presence of the roll speed difference.
