Important Significance

Vibration results from situation when the inherent frequency close to the external exciting force during the operation of the motor, so accurate and effective calculation of the natural frequency of the motor has an important significance to damping noise. By numerical simulation model and the ANSYS finite element modal, the inherent frequencies were got of the motor and comparison results verify the effectiveness of the motor model. The effect of the modulus of elasticity of the softening layer between the motor and the ground to the inherent frequency was researched intensively, and puts forward related suggestions.

Cylindrical Roller

A dynamic finite element analysis model for cylindrical roller bearing is developed, and the complex stress distribution and dynamic contacting nature of the bearing are investigated carefully based on ANSYS/LS-DYNA. Numerical simulation results show that the stress would be bigger when the element contacting with the inner or outer ring than at other times, and the biggest stress would appear near the area that roller contacting with the inner ring. Phenomenon of stress concentration on the roller is found to be very obvious during the operating process of the bearing system. The stress distributions of different elements are uneven on the same side surface of roller in its axis direction. Numerical simulation results can give useful references for the design and analysis of rolling bearing.

PurposeThe objective of this paper is to identify suitable lattice structure patterns for the design of porous bone implants manufactured using additive manufacturing.Design/methodology/approachThe study serves to compare and analyse the mechanical behaviours between cubic and octet-truss gradient lattice structures. The method used was uniaxial compression simulations using finite element analysis to identify the translational displacements.FindingsFrom the simulation results, in comparison to the cubic lattice structure, the octet-truss lattice structure showed a significant difference in mechanical behaviour. In the same design space, the translational displacement for both lattice structures increased as the relative density decreased. Apart from the relative density, the microarchitecture of the lattice structure also influenced the mechanical behaviour of the gradient lattice structure.Research limitations/implicationsGradient lattice structures are suitable for bone implant applications because of the variation of pore sizes that mimic the natural bone structures. The complex geometry that gradient lattice structures possess can be manufactured using additive manufacturing technology.Originality/valueThe results demonstrated that the cubic gradient lattice structure has the best mechanical behaviour for bone implants with appropriate relative density and pore size.
