The general topic of this paper is the computer simulation with use of finite element method (FEM) for determining the internal stresses of selected gradient and single-layer PVD coatings deposited on the sintered tool materials, including cemented carbides, cermets and Al2O3+TiC type oxide tool ceramics by cathodic arc evaporation CAE-PVD method. Developing an appropriate model allows the prediction of properties of PVD coatings, which are also the criterion of their selection for specific items, based on the parameters of technological processes. In addition, developed model can to a large extent eliminate the need for expensive and time-consuming experimental studies for the computer simulation. Developed models of internal stresses were performed with use of finite element method in ANSYS environment. The experimental values of stresses were calculated using the X-ray sin2ψ technique. The computer simulation results were compared with the experimental results. Microhardness and adhesion as well as wear range were measured to investigate the influence of stress distribution on the mechanical and functional properties of coatings. It was stated that occurrence of compressive stresses on the surface of gradient coating has advantageous influence on their mechanical properties, especially on microhardness. Absolute value reduction of internal stresses in the connection zone in case of the gradient coatings takes profitably effects on improvement the adhesion of coatings. It can be one of the most important reasons of increase the wear resistance of gradient coatings in comparison to single-layer coatings.

Abstract An analysis by the finite element method and a related computer program is presented for an axisymmetric solid under asymmetric loads. Calculations are carried out on displacements and internal stresses and strains of a radial tire loaded on a road wheel of 600-mm diameter, a road wheel of 1707-mm diameter, and a flat plate. Agreement between calculated and experimental displacements and cord forces is quite satisfactory. The principal shear strain concentrates at the belt edge, and the strain energy increases with decreasing drum diameter. Tire temperature measurements show that the strain energy in the tire is closely related to the internal temperature rise.

Development of the technologies simulating optical processes in an arbitrary dispersed medium is one of the important directions in the field of optical instrumentation and can provide computer simulation of the processes instead of using expensive equipment in physical experiments. The goal of the study is simulation of scattering of optical radiation by aerosol media using the finite element method to show a practical significance of the results of virtual experiments. We used the following initial conditions of the model: radius of a spherical particle of distilled water is 1 μm, wavelength of the incident optical radiation is 0.6328 μm, air is a medium surrounding the particle. An algorithm for implementation of the model by the finite element method is proposed. A subprogram has been developed which automates a virtual experiment for a group of particles to form their random arrangement in the model and possibility of changing their geometric shape and size within predetermined intervals. Model dependences of the radiation intensity on the scattering angle for single particle and groups of particles are presented. Simulation of the light transmission through a dispersed medium provides development of a given photosensor design and determination of the minimum number of photodetectors when measuring the parameters of the medium under study via analysis of the indicatrix of scattering by a group of particles.

This article presents a family of one-dimensional finite element method models with node-dependent kinematics for the analysis of beam structures with piezo-patches. The models proposed are built by applying Carrera unified formulation. Carrera unified formulation permits to obtain finite element method stiffness matrices through so-called fundamental nuclei whose form is independent of the assumptions made for the displacement/electrical field over the cross section of a beam. In the previous works, uniform kinematic assumptions have been applied to all the nodes within the same element. The present contribution proposes to use different kinematics on different nodes, leading to node-dependent kinematic finite element method formulations. In such an approach, non-uniform cross sections introduced by piezo-patches can be considered. With the help of layer-wise models, piezoelectric and mechanical domains each can possess individual constitutive relations. Meanwhile, node-dependent kinematics can integrate equivalent single layer models and layer-wise models to reach an optimal balance between accuracy and use of computational resources. Static governing equations for beam elements with node-dependent kinematics accounting for electromechanical effects are derived from the principle of virtual displacements. The competence of the proposed approach is validated by comparing the obtained results with solutions taken from the literature and ABAQUS three-dimensional modelling. Both extension and shear actuation mechanisms are considered.

In this paper, the authors present results on dynamic behavior analysis of the stiffened composite plate with piezoelectric patches under airflow by finite element method and experimental study. The first-order shear deformation plate theory and nine-noded isoparametric piezoelectric laminated plate finite element with five elastic degrees of freedom at each node and one electric degree of freedom per element per piezoelectric layer were used in the dynamic analysis of plates by finite element method. The modern equipment was used in the dynamic behaviors analysis of plates subjected to airflow load by experimental method. In this study, the results of the theoretical method have been compared with experimental studies.
