The article presents studies related to the reduction of stress concentration acting on prismatic specimen subject to axial loading. Using ANSYS software, a topological optimization was performed which aims to reduce the stresses in the endangered areas. The aim of identification of the geometric parameters accomplished after the completion of topological optimization of the objective function is to minimize the stresses in the engaged areas. An analysis performed were to show the influence of stresses acting on the fatigue limit during different cycles. The results of the study were present in a graphical form.

The method of Multiple Stress Concentration Regions (MSCRs) on the surface of MEMS Silicon micro-structure is introduced in order to enhance the sensibility of the hair vector hydrophone without reducing the working bandwidth. The MSCRs with the thickness and width smaller than the rest of the cantilever can produce localized stress concentration when constant force is applied on the structure. ANSYS software has been used as a tool to analyze the effect of different shapes and dimensions on the performance of the micro-structure. The optimum MSCR has been obtained. Results show that compared with the ordinary structure, the sensitivity of the micro-structure with MSCR can be increased by 1.5 times, and the upper limit of bandwidth can be improved from 337Hz to 500Hz. This paper provides a new method to resolve contradiction between the sensitivity and working bandwidth.

The relationship between the geometric parameters of α, β, γ and τ of tubular T joints and chord stress concentration factor, SCF, has been investigated. With the use of calculated values as well as experimental data tables were compiled for a wide variety of cases when axial loading on the branch is applied. Finally, a probability analysis is given as to the reliability of using a particular SCF value.

This Paper Present a simulation for design of spear for nozzle by applying computational fluid dynamics analysis and using ANSYS software. With the development of high speed computers and advancement in numerical techniques detail flow analysis of the desired model can be done for design optimization. The design can be altered till the best performance or desired output is obtained. This is less time consuming. CFD can provide the solution for different operating condition and geometry configuration in less time and cost and found very useful for design and development. In the present work, three shapes of spear at different mass flow rates have been analysed using ANSYS-CFX 10 software, the pressure and velocity distribution are obtained and compared. Using the analysis result, the loss variations with the nozzles for different spear shapes are computed. The results are presented in tabular and graphical form.

This paper discusses a probabilistic approach for the design of Compression Closely Coiled Helical Springs subjected to periodic axial loading. The classical design procedure results in deterministic geometric parameters with tolerances normally chosen according to standards without due regard to their effects on the mission success as normally expressed by a reliability level. With the proposed design procedure, the engineer can specify nominal mean values for the geometric parameters and their tolerances according to a predetermined reliability level. Design nomographs are presented to help the engineer, in the early stages of design, to choose between many alternatives. Computer algorithms can easily be written to verify the final or optimum design.

This paper presents the numerical study of Cosserat elastic plate deformation based on the parametric theory of Cosserat plates, recently developed by the authors. The numerical results are obtained using the Finite Element Method used to solve the parametric system of 9 kinematic equations. We discuss the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution and the convergence of the proposed FEM. The Finite Element analysis of clamped Cosserat plates of different shapes under different loads is provided. We present the numerical validation of the proposed FEM by estimating the order of convergence, when comparing the main kinematic variables with an analytical solution. We also consider the numerical analysis of plates with circular holes. We show that the stress concentration factor around the hole is less than the classical value, and smaller holes exhibit less stress concentration as would be expected on the basis of the classical elasticity.

As a novel power transmission component, the skewed–roller slipping clutch (SRSC) produces resisting torque depending on relative rotation and sliding between askew arranged cylindrical rollers and specially curved races. In this paper, the surface contact stress and von Mises stress between the rollers and the races are calculated and the effects of roller profile modification on reducing stress concentration are investigated under frictional contact and dynamic equilibrium of the rollers and races.

Reducing stress concentration is mainly done by fillets. However, new concepts toward better material properties lead designers and engineers to use these materials in their design, still changing in geometrical shape of desired models can help us in reducing stress concentration factors. New devices, including fast computers, reliable numerical methods (FEM), and numerical optimization approach can bring special devices for better designing besides considering design limitations in special industries. In this paper we focus on geometrical change (rounded groove) in the sudden changed section of the rounded shaft to reduce stress concentration in the most dangerous section. By optimizing this proposed change in the geometry of shaft we reduce the stress, so using of fillets can be neglected in the future designs to prevent metallurgical and design limitations.

Accurate prediction of dynamic properties of system is important to ensure the dynamic based design integrity of its member is not compromise. It will reduce or possibly eliminate the possibilities of further modifications in-situ of real system. On this account, this study investigates the modal parameters of the pre-stress sheet metals undergoing bending stresses which is commonly used in practice as structural members. In addressing this issue, three different shapes of sheet metals of similar thickness were studied i.e. straight plate, U-shaped and V-shaped plates. The natural frequencies of these configurations were determined experimentally using the Operational Modal Analysis (OMA). Numerical values were obtained using ANSYS software. Results of these shapes acquired experimentally and numerically were then compared and analyzed. Significant reduction in the eigenvalues of is observed on bent plates both experimentally and numerically as compared to flat plate.
