The Moment

In this study, the finite element software ANSYS was used to analyze the mechanical behavior of local sharp-notched circular tubes under cyclic bending. The local sharp-notched depths include: 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mm, and the local sharp-notched directions include: 0, 30, 60 and 90 degrees. According to the experimental result, the notch depth has no influence on the moment-curvature relationship. But the notch depth increases, the unsymmetrical phenomenon of the ovalization-curvature relationship becomes more obvious and the speed of ovalization accelerates. In addition, the ovalization-curvature relationship becomes symmetrical when the direction angle increases. The ANSYS analysis was compared with the experimental finding. Although some differences between the experimental and simulated results, but both trends were very similar.

The mechanical behavior and buckling failure of sharp-notched 6061-T6 aluminum alloy tubes with different notch depths subjected to cyclic bending are experimentally and theoretically investigated. The experimental moment–curvature relationship exhibits an almost steady loop from the beginning of the first cycle. However, the ovalization–curvature relationship exhibits a symmetrical, increasing, and ratcheting behavior as the number of cycles increases. The six groups of tubes tested have different notch depths, from which two different trends can be observed from the relationship between the controlled curvature and the number of cycles required to ignite buckling. Finite element software ANSYS is used to simulate the moment–curvature and ovalization–curvature relationships. Additionally, a theoretical model is proposed for simulation of the controlled curvature-number of cycles concerning the initiation of buckling. Simulation results are compared with experimental test data, which shows generally good agreement.

Drying Cylinder

In this thesis, the process of electromagnetic drying cylinder was analyzed creating by the dryer finite element model using ANSYS. The conduction thermal analysis, the applied load and solved showed the results of three major components. Which create a finite element model of the process, mainly the preprocessor using ANSYS software to create or import geometric models from other software applications, and then add the material properties. The last of the geometric model meshing and solving process need to enter solvers according to the actual situation. The setting is applied to the thermal load and conditions. Then it is proceed to the finite element solution operator. It final usually the Post 1, or Post2 view results, and based on our experience to judge correctly

A three-dimensional finite element (FE) model with the consideration of the helix angle of the threads was developed to simulate the second stage self-loosening of a bolted joint. The second stage self-loosening refers to the graduate reduction in clamping force due to the back-off of the nut. The simulations were conducted for two plates jointed by a bolt and a nut and the joint was subjected to transverse or shear loading. An M12×1.75 bolt was used. The application of the preload was simulated by using an orthogonal temperature expansion method. FE simulations were conducted for several loading conditions with different preloads and relative displacements between the two clamped plates. It was found that due to the application of the cyclic transverse load, micro-slip occurred between the contacting surfaces of the engaged threads of the bolt and the nut. In addition, a cyclic bending moment was introduced on the bolted joint. The cyclic bending moment resulted in an oscillation of the contact pressure on the contacting surfaces of the engaged threads. The micro-slip between the engaged threads and the variation of the contact pressure were identified to be the major mechanisms responsible for the self-loosening of a bolted joint. Simplified finite element models were developed that confirmed the mechanisms discovered. The major self-loosening behavior of a bolted joint can be properly reproduced with the FE model developed. The results obtained agree quantitatively with the experimental observations.

This paper examines techniques for the evaluation of two kinds of structural imperfection, namely bulging subject to internal pressure, and out-of-round imperfections subject to external pressure, with and without creep. Comparisons between comprehensive finite element analysis and API 579 Level 2 techniques are made. It is recommended that structural, as opposed to material, failures such as these should be assessed with a structural model that explicitly represents the defect.
