The steel rolling process employs a coiling-uncoiling process in which a steel sheet is wound and unwound in a coil shape using a coiler to efficiently produce a long steel sheet with a constant thickness. As front and rear tension is required when the steel sheet enters and exits the rolling mill, the coiler introduces tension in the steel sheet through the control of the rotational speed. As the coil is produced, coiling tension accumulates, and pressure is applied to the inside of the coil. Finite element analysis and stress calculation analysis were derived from previous studies to prevent such pressure increases in the sleeves and coils. However, the radial and circumferential stresses at arbitrary positions inside the coil cannot be accurately determined by considering without the stresses’ difference in the thickness direction based on the assumption that the coil’s thickness is thin. In this study, an analytical model that can accurately calculate the sleeve and coil stress during elastic deformation was established by improving the internal circumferential stress generated when the steel sheet is bent into a coil and the radial stress equation associated with the beam bending theory. In addition, by comparing the finite element analysis model results reflecting the same coiling condition, this model’s validity was verified by confirming the consistency of the results.

According to the geometrical characteristic of workpiece and groove in the stretch reducing rolling process, three-dimensional elastic-plastic finite-element analysis model was established to simulate the metal deformation, the regularities of distribution of wall thickness of transverse direction longitudinal direction were investigated. The analysis was verified by comparing finite element analysis results with on-line measurements. The length of crop ends was determined as well as product bore polygonization. The study provides the foundation for analyzing product defeat and instructing technological design.

In the seamless pipe rolling process, the pipe wall thickness is largely determined at the mandrel mill or plug mill. It is possible to obtain the target thickness at these mills by defining the gap of a grooved roll and an inside tool such as a plug. However, the thickness of the free deformation part, which is not in contact with the roll and tool, had generally been estimated by experimental techniques. Although a number of analytical studies of mandrel mill rolling had been reported, few reports had examined plug mill rolling. Therefore, in this research, a finite element analysis model for plug mill rolling was developed by extending the rigid plasticity finite element model "Computational Rolling Mill (CORMILL)." Good agreement between the calculated results and experimental results was obtained for the wall thickness, and it was found that the thickness of the flange part decreases with reduction of the wall thickness at the grooved bottom. These results suggested that the wall thickness distribution of rolled pipes can be controlled by using a suitable inside tool and roll shape in each rolling pass, and the necessary shapes can be obtained by using the newly-developed model.

We propose a model to give us a method to investigate the characteristic three-dimensional directivity in an arbitrarily configured flexible electret-based loudspeaker. In recent years, novel electret loudspeakers have attracted much interest due to their being lightweight, paper thin, and possessing excellent mid- to high-frequency responses. Increasing or decreasing the directivity of an electret loudspeaker makes it excellent for adoption to many applications, especially for directing sound to a particular area or specific audio location. Herein, we detail a novel electret loudspeaker that possesses various directivities and is based on various structures of spacers instead of having to use multichannel amplifiers and a complicated digital control system. In order to study the directivity of an electret loudspeaker based on an array structure which can be adopted for various applications, the horizontal and vertical polar directivity characteristics as a function of frequency were simulated by a finite-element analysis model. To validate the finite-element analysis model, the beam pattern of the electret loudspeaker was measured in an anechoic room. Both the simulated and experimental results are detailed in this article to validate the various assertions related to the directivity of electret cell-based smart speakers.

In this paper, the finite element analysis for stress/deformation/modes of vibration for the centrifugal fan impeller with constant thickness backward-curved blades using CATIA software will be presented. The principal steps of the finite element analysis procedure using CATIA/Generative Structural Analysis environment will be presented: creating the 3D model; configuring the mesh; applying the restraints; applying the loads; running the numerical static analysis and the numerical frequency analysis; interpreting the results and observing the modes of vibration correlating with the impeller mode shape. This procedure will be used for 4 different centrifugal fan impellers according with the 4 blade design methods and the results will be comparatively analyzed. For each design method, two materials will be used: steel with density of 7860 kg/m3 and aluminium with density of 2710 kg/m3. Two important results have been obtained after the structural analysis: under the working conditions considered for the analysis, all 4 blade design methods leads to impellers with very good mechanical behaviour; any frequency of the main modes of vibrations for all blade design methods and for both materials is not in phase with the impeller speed, thus the possibility of resonance being eliminated.

Brake friction lining material is the critical element of a braking system, since it provides friction resistance to the rotating drum for controlling automobiles. The present study involves wear analysis of newly developed eco-friendly non-asbestos friction lining material for automotive drum brake applications using experimental study, finite-element analysis, and microstructural investigations. Theoretical interpretation of braking force at different automobile speeds was derived using fundamentals. Specimen drum brake liner with eco-friendly material compositions was produced using an industrial hot compression molding process at one of the manufacturer. The surface wear of the liner was measured using an effective and accurate method. Furthermore, a finite-element analysis model was developed considering actual operating conditions and various components of the drum brake system. The model was elaborated for various result outcomes, including Von-Mises stresses and total deformation of components of the drum brake, and further used to estimate the surface wear of the friction lining material in terms of transverse directional deformation. Finally, microstructural analysis of the friction lining material was carried out using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. From the results, it is seen that the developed friction lining material is wear resistant. The finite-element analysis model can be effectively utilized to study the tribological characteristics of friction lining materials.
