In the present study, a conservative integral based on the Betti reciprocal principle is formulated in order to obtain the intensity of singularity at a vertex of the interface in three-dimensional piezoelectric bi-material bonded joints. To our knowledge, there are few studies on the determination of the intensity of singularity in the three-dimensional piezoelectric bonded joints. In addition, no study on the determination of the intensity of singularity in the 3D piezoelectric bonded joints using the conservative integral has been conducted. Eigenanalysis formulated using a three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) is used to calculate the order of stress singularity, angular variables of mechanical displacements, stresses, electric displacements and electric potential. In order to investigate the influence of an integral area on the accuracy of the results, models with various integral areas are used. The results are compared with those obtained from FEM.

AbstractIn this paper it is present the influence of the wind on a parabolic antenna, in order to study this influence it was made simulations of air flow over a parabolic antenna. The simulations are made with antenna positioned at 90°, 135°. A three – dimensional finite element is simulated for determination of the antenna displacement.

This paper describes numerical simulation and analysis of interaction between the parts of rack-and-pinion lock under operational external load, so as to develop design criteria and recommendations for its joints, as well as for more accurate determination of clearances between coamings and hatch covers, required to develop water-tight rubber sealings. These tasks are accomplished by means of detailed three-dimensional finite-element models representing two variants of rack-and-pinion lock, with their further verification. The study included numerical simulation of contact interaction between the parts of the lock, as well as analysis of design solutions for its main joints. As a result, coaming-cover clearances have been determined and manufacturing requirements to rubber sealings of the lock variants under investigation have been successfully formulated.
