The work is devoted to development of a method for accounting residual technological stresses in wheel disks, which will provide both the versatility of the approach and the accuracy of calculations. The analysis of stresses in the wheel disk from the action of assembly (interference between the hub and the axle) and operational loads is carried out on basis of the results of finite element modeling. Verification of adequacy of the used model was made by comparing the calculated information with the experimental data of JSC “VNIIZHT”. The analysis of calculated and experimental values of radial stresses was carried out for the most loaded (critical) zones of the disk during operation – the zones of its interface with the rim and the hub. It was found that by setting the interference fit value to be greater than the actual one, it is possible to obtain the formation of additional stresses in the wheel, which, with a sufficient degree of accuracy, reflect the effect of residual technological stresses on its stress-strain state. On the example of calculating a wheel with a flat-conical disk (GOST 10791 – 2011), it is shown that an increase in the interference fit value by 60 % (from 0.25 mm to 0.4 mm per diameter) makes it possible to adequately predict the magnitude of stresses in the most critical disk elements. The maximum relative deviations of the calculated values of radial stresses from the experimental ones, both along the outer and inner sides of the wheel, do not exceed 14 %. Despite the simplicity of implementation, the proposed method provides an increase in the accuracy of predicting the strength characteristics of wheels, as well as the possibility of using it for various standard wheel sizes.

The actual problem of increasing the service life of stamped-rolled railway wheels is a complex problem. Residual technological stresses, which cannot be completely eliminated, have a significant effect on the stress-strain state of the wheel as a whole and its disk in particular. At different stages of roughing wheels machining, the residual stress field is continuously changing. This makes it difficult to take into account the residual stresses in the wheels strength calculations. In Report 1 of this work, an accounting method for residual technological stresses was proposed, the essence of which is to set the value of interference between hub and axle when modeling is greater than the actual one. This approach made it possible to obtain additional stresses in the wheel, which adequately reflect the effect of residual technological stresses. In this part of the work, the authors have carried out practical implementation of the developed method and assessment of the degree of residual technological stresses influence on stress-strain state of the wheel disk under the action of operational loads. With regard to the design of a 957 mm diameter wheel with a flat-conical disk (GOST 10791 – 2011), calculations of stress-strain state of the disk under the action of mechanical types of load have been performed. The 60 % increase in the interference between hub and axle realized in the calculations made it possible to establish that the presence of residual technological stresses in the wheel causes an increase of 5 – 38 % in maximum equivalent stresses in the disk zones most loaded during operation. Thus, the proposed method for residual technological stresses accounting allows obtaining an upper estimate of the wheels strength characteristics, and, therefore, more adequately predicting their service life.

The analysis of the design and technological features of the tail boom (ТB) of a helicopter made of polymer composite materials (PCM) is carried out.Three structural and technological concepts are distinguished - semi-monocoque (reinforced metal structure), monocoque (three-layer structure) and mesh-type structure. The high weight and economic efficiency of mesh structures is shown, which allows them to be used in aerospace engineering. The physicomechanical characteristics of the network structures are estimated and their uniqueness is shown. The use of mesh structures can reduce the weight of the product by a factor of two or more.The stress-strain state (SSS) of the proposed tail boom design is determined. The analysis of methods for calculating the characteristics of the total SSS of conical mesh shells is carried out. The design of the tail boom is presented, the design diagram of the tail boom of the transport category rotorcraft is developed. A finite element model was created using the Siemens NX 7.5 system. The calculation of the stress-strain state (SSS) of the HC of the helicopter was carried out on the basis of the developed structural scheme using the Advanced Simulation module of the Siemens NX 7.5 system. The main zones of probable fatigue failure of tail booms are determined. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) provides a theoretical basis for design decisions.Shown is the effect of the type of technological process selected for the production of the tail boom on the strength of the HB structure. The stability of the characteristics of the PCM tail boom largely depends on the extent to which its design is suitable for the use of mechanized and automated production processes.A method for the manufacture of a helicopter tail boom from PCM by the automated winding method is proposed. A variant of computer modeling of the tail boom of a mesh structure made of PCM is shown.The automated winding technology can be recommended for implementation in the design of the composite tail boom of the Mi-2 and Mi-8 helicopters.

Abstract A finite element model was developed to simulate the tire-rim interface. Elastomers were modeled by nonlinear incompressible elements, whereas plies were simulated by cord-rubber composite elements. Gap elements were used to simulate the opening between tire and rim at zero inflation pressure. This opening closed when the inflation pressure was increased gradually. The predicted distribution of contact pressure at the tire-rim interface agreed very well with the available experimental measurements. Several variations of the tire-rim interference fit were analyzed.

In order to promote the efficient use of composite materials in civil engineering infrastructure, effort is being directed at the development of design criteria for composite structures. Insofar as design with regard to behavior is concerned, it is well known that a key step is to investigate the influence of geometric differences on the non-linear behavior of the panels. One possible approach is to use the validated numerical model based on the non-linear finite element analysis (FEA). The validation of the composite panel’s element using Trim-deck and Span-deck steel sheets under axial load shows that the present results have very good agreement with experimental references. The developed finite element (FE) models are found to reasonably simulate load-displacement response, stress condition, giving percentage of differences below than 15% compared to the experimental values. Trim-deck design provides better axial resistance than Span-deck. More concrete in between due to larger area of contact is the factor that contributes to its resistance.

In this work, an additive model for the prediction of the rheological and mechanical properties of monopolymer blends made by virgin and reprocessed components is proposed. A polypropylene sample has been reprocessed more times in an extruder and monopolymer blends have been prepared by simulating an industrial process. The scraps are exposed to regrinding and are melt reprocessed before mixing with the virgin polymer. The reprocessed polymer is, then, subjected to some thermomechanical degradation. Rheological and mechanical experimental data have been compared with the theoretical predictions. The results obtained showed that the values of this simple additive model are a very good fit for the experimental values of both rheological and mechanical properties.

AbstractWind turbines (WT) must be further optimized concerning availability and reliability. One of the major reasons of WT downtime is the failure of gearbox bearings. Some of these failures occur, due to the ring creep phenomenon, which is mostly detected in the planetary bearings. The ring creep phenomenon describes a relative movement of the outer ring to the planetary gear. In order to improve the understanding of ring creep, the finite element method (FEM) is used to simulate ring creep in planetary gears. First, a sensitivity analysis is carried out on a small bearing size (NU205), to characterize relevant influence parameters for ring creep—considered parameters are teeth module, coefficient of friction, interference fit and normal tooth forces. Secondly, a full-scale planetary bearing (SL185030) of a 1MW WT is simulated and verified with experimental data.

A finite element model is proposed to investigate the effect of thickness differential on Limiting Dome Height (LDH) testing of aluminum tailor-welded blanks. The numerical model is validated via comparison of the equivalent plastic strain and displacement distribution between the simulation results and the experimental data. The normalized equivalent plastic strain and normalized LDH values are proposed as a means of quantifying the influence of thickness differential for a variety of different ratios. Increasing thickness differential was found to decrease the normalized equivalent plastic strain and normalized LDH values, this providing an evaluation of blank formability.
