In this article, the contact behavior of a shrink-fitted joint in a rotor assembly at different spin speeds is studied, using the three-dimensional solid finite element approach. A custom frictionless contact model is proposed and extensively tested by means of simulation. The theory for solving pre-stressed damped eigenvalue problem is presented and implemented, and the results are presented in Campbell diagram form. Two sample rotor assemblies are studied. In addition, experimental modal analysis results of a shrink-fitted joint with various interferences are presented and numerically studied. The reduction of the interference of the shrink-fitted joint due to centrifugal forces at high-speed operation as well as the contact status are updated at each rotational speed step. The inclusion of stress-stiffening effect is studied in detail. The comparison of the Campbell diagram results with the results obtained using a commercial finite element software (Ansys) shows a good agreement.

Saturated Soft Clay

The subway has become the main way for people to travel nowadays. The saturated soft clay area has a large population and subway construction is the most extensively distributed. The saturated soft clay foundation will settle under the dynamic load of the subway train, which will affect the service life and structural safety. To study the settlement characteristics of soft clay under the dynamic load of the subway, a three-dimensional dynamic finite element model was established based on the finite element software Midas GTS NX, and the soft clay under the normal design speed (80 km/h) and the high-speed (120 km/h) were compared and analyzed. The research results show that the higher the train speed, the larger the lateral influence range of the surface settlement trough, but the settlement decreases with the increase of the subway running speed. The settlement of the subway line after one year of operation is about 45mm, and the settlement after 20 years is about 58mm. The growth rate of the settlement prediction curve decreases gradually, and the settlement increment is very small for a long time in the later period of operation.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to implement a micromechanical hybrid finite element approach in order to investigate the stress transfer behavior of composites reinforced with hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets. Design/methodology/approach For the analysis of the problem, a three-dimensional representative volume element, consisting of three phases, has been used. The reinforcement is modeled discretely using spring elements of specific stiffness while the matrix material is modeled as a continuum medium using solid finite elements. The third phase, the intermediate one, known as the interface, has been simulated by appropriate stiffness variations which define a heterogeneous region affecting the stress transfer characteristics of the nanocomposite. Findings The results show a good agreement with corresponding ones from the literature and also the effect of a number of factors is indicated in stress transfer efficiency. Originality/value This is the first time that such a modeling is employed in the stress transfer examination of h-BN nanocomposites.

Abstract In this study, elastoplastic model for the surrounding rock of axisymmetric circular tunnel is investigated under three-dimensional (3D) principal stress states. Novel numerical solutions for strain-softening surrounding rock were first proposed based on the modified 3D Hoek–Brown criterion and the associated flow rule. Under a 3D axisymmetric coordinate system, the distributions for stresses and displacement can be effectively determined on the basis of the redeveloped stress increment approach. The modified 3D Hoek–Brown strength criterion is also embedded into finite element software to characterize the yielding state of surrounding rock based on the modified yield surface and stress renewal algorithm. The Euler implicit constitutive integral algorithm and the consistent tangent stiffness matrix are reconstructed in terms of the 3D Hoek–Brown strength criterion. Therefore, the numerical solutions and finite element method (FEM) models for the deep buried tunnel under 3D principal stress condition are presented, so that the stability analysis of surrounding rock can be conducted in a direct and convenient way. The reliability of the proposed solutions was verified by comparison of the principal stresses obtained by the developed numerical approach and FEM model. From a practical point of view, the proposed approach can also be applied for the determination of ground response curve of the tunnel, which shows a satisfying accuracy compared with the measuring data.

The development of fan-out packaging technology for fine-pitch and high-pin-count applications is a hot topic in semiconductor research. To reduce the package footprint and improve system performance, many applications have adopted packaging-on-packaging (PoP) architecture. Given its inherent characteristics, glass is a good material for high-speed transmission applications. Therefore, this study proposes a fan-out wafer-level packaging (FO-WLP) with glass substrate-type PoP. The reliability life of the proposed FO-WLP was evaluated under thermal cycling conditions through finite element simulations and empirical calculations. Considering the simulation processing time and consistency with the experimentally obtained mean time to failure (MTTF) of the packaging, both two- and three-dimensional finite element models were developed with appropriate mechanical theories, and were verified to have similar MTTFs. Next, the FO-WLP structure was optimized by simulating various design parameters. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the glass substrate exerted the strongest effect on the reliability life under thermal cycling loading. In addition, the upper and lower pad thicknesses and the buffer layer thickness significantly affected the reliability life of both the FO-WLP and the FO-WLP-type PoP.

This investigation is aimed at the modeling of both the fabrication process and the reliability of press-fit interconnections on moulded interconnect devices (MID). These are multifunctional three-dimensional substrates, produced by thermoplastic injection moulding for large-series applications. The assembly process and subsequently the durability of press-fit interconnections has been modeled and proved with a finite element software. Especially, a simulation tool for process optimizations was created and applied. In order to obtain realistic results, a creep model for the investigated base material, a liquid-crystal polymer (LCP), was generated and verified by experiments. Required friction coefficients between metal pin and base material were determined by adapting simulations and experiments. Retention forces of pins pressed into substrate holes during as well after the assembly process, and after temperature loads were predicted by simulations. Additionally, the decreasing extraction forces over time due to creep in the thermoplastic base material have been predicted for different storage temperatures as well with finite element analyses. Following, the numerical results of the process and reliability modeling were verified by experiments. It is concluded that the behavior of the mechanical contact of the pin-substrate system, can be suitably described time- and temperature-dependent.
