The paper presents the results study the characteristics of capacitive beating sensors to optimize them by computer simulation tools using. A concentric capacitive sensor with high-potential and grounded electrodes was studied. In the course of the research, the expediency of using computer modeling tools by finite element analysis methods to study the metrological characteristics of sensors was shown. It is shown that the application of modeling makes it possible to reduce the time spent on studies of the transformation function and metrological characteristics. The picture of the distribution of equipotential lines of an electric field in a working backlash of the sensor has resulted. The simulation results make it possible to create a picture of equipotential lines by changing the distance between the total surface of the sensor electrodes and the grounded surface, simulating the surface of the shaft. The results of the definition of the response function are given. References 23, figures 5.

The stages of introduction of computer simulation tools in the production process of The Rostov Foundry are considered. A system for estimating the results of simulation is proposed, which includes the definition of complex parameters that allow an assessment of the causes and the probability of formation of shrinkage defects. An equation that determines a relationship between results of simulation and actual rejects in production is proposed. The feeder operation index is suggested to use for estimation of the reasons for the formation of shrinkage defects. The yield index is suggested to evaluate the possibility of reducing the weight of gate system. Equations for calculating of these indices are developed. A systematic approach is presented for the application of simulation results, which provides for the organization of a database of the technologies being studied. The development of this base allows not only to accumulate the experience, but also to apply it to minimize errors and save time in the process of introducing new castings. The results of practical application of the developed system for 10 positions are presented, which allowed to increase the yield by 6.9% and to reduce the total defects rate by 5.1%.

The inverse Finite Element Method (iFEM) is receiving more attention for shape sensing due to its independence from the material properties and the external load. However, a proper definition of the model geometry with its boundary conditions is required, together with the acquisition of the structure’s strain field with optimized sensor networks. The iFEM model definition is not trivial in the case of complex structures, in particular, if sensors are not applied on the whole structure allowing just a partial definition of the input strain field. To overcome this issue, this research proposes a simplified iFEM model in which the geometrical complexity is reduced and boundary conditions are tuned with the superimposition of the effects to behave as the real structure. The procedure is assessed for a complex aeronautical structure, where the reference displacement field is first computed in a numerical framework with input strains coming from a direct finite element analysis, confirming the effectiveness of the iFEM based on a simplified geometry. Finally, the model is fed with experimentally acquired strain measurements and the performance of the method is assessed in presence of a high level of uncertainty.

The platform of a microscopic traffic simulation provides an opportunity to study the driving behavior of vehicles on a roadway system. Compared to traditional conventional cars with human drivers, the car-following behaviors of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) would be quite different and hence require additional modeling efforts. This paper presents a thorough review of the literature on the car-following models used in prevalent micro-simulation tools for vehicles with both human and robot drivers. Specifically, the car-following logics such as the Wiedemann model and adaptive cruise control technology were reviewed based on the vehicle’s dynamic behavior and driving environments. In addition, some of the more recent “AV-ready (autonomous vehicles ready) tools” in micro-simulation platforms are also discussed in this paper.

This study employed finite element analysis to simulate ultrasonic metal bump direct bonding. The stress distribution on bonding interfaces in metal bump arrays made of Al, Cu, and Ni/Pd/Au was simulated by adjusting geometrical parameters of the bumps, including the shape, size, and height; the bonding was performed with ultrasonic vibration with a frequency of 35 kHz under a force of 200 N, temperature of 200 °C, and duration of 5 s. The simulation results revealed that the maximum stress of square bumps was greater than that of round bumps. The maximum stress of little square bumps was at least 15% greater than those of little round bumps and big round bumps. An experimental demonstration was performed in which bumps were created on Si chips through Al sputtering and lithography processes. Subtractive lithography etching was the only effective process for the bonding of bumps, and Ar plasma treatment magnified the joint strength. The actual joint shear strength was positively proportional to the simulated maximum stress. Specifically, the shear strength reached 44.6 MPa in the case of ultrasonic bonding for the little Al square bumps.

Welding residual stress is one of the main factors that affect the strength and life of components. In order to explore the effect on residual stress of welding line by laser shock processing, finite element analysis software ANSYS is used to simulate the welding process, to calculate the distribution of welding residual stress field. On this basis, then AYSYS/LS-DYNA is used to simulate the laser shock processing on welding line. Simulation results show that residual stress distributions of weld region, heat-affected region and matrix by laser shock processing are clearly improved, and the tensile stress of weld region effectively reduce or eliminate. The simulation results and experimental results are generally consistent, it offer reasons for parameter optimization of welding and laser shock processing by finite element analysis software.

The explicit dynamic finite element theory is applied on the collision of ships with buoys for computer simulation. Using ANSYS/LS-DYNA finite element analysis software, the numerical simulation of the collision between the ton ship and the buoy with different structures and impact points. The collision force, deformation, displacement parameters and the weak impact points of a buoy are obtained. Based on the numerical simulation results, analysis of buoys and structural collision damages in anti-collision features are discussed, and several theoretical sugestions in anti-collision for the design of buoy are provided.

In an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor, an adhesive such as bond is generally injected into the magnet tolerance to prevent vibration of the permanent magnet within the insertion space. In this case, a disadvantage is that the magnet tolerance does not contribute to the performance. In this paper, ferrofluid is inserted to improve the torque density, utilizing the magnet tolerance. When inserting ferrofluid into the magnet tolerance, it is important to fix the magnet because conventional adhesives are not used, and it is important that the ferrofluid does not act as a leakage path within the insertion space. In this study, a new rotor configuration using a plastic barrier that satisfies these considerations was introduced. The analysis was conducted through finite element analysis (FEA), and this technique was verified by comparing the simulation results and the experimental results through a dynamo test. It was confirmed that the no-load back electromotive force in the final model increased through ferrofluid injection.
