The solid-state wave gyroscope belongs to the class of the so-called Coriolis vibratory gyroscopes. They are industrially produced, as a rule, in two versions: precise solid-state wave gyroscopes with expensive fused quartz resonators, and devices of low accuracy with metal resonators. The use of metal for the manufacture of a solid-state wave gyroscope resonator for inertial systems of medium and low accuracy can significantly simplify the design of the device and reduce its cost, however, the low-quality factor of the metal resonator and the instability of its dissipative characteristics limit the accuracy characteristics of the solid-state wave gyroscope. The use of high-quality precision fused quartz glass resonators in such solid-state wave gyroscopes is unacceptable because of their high cost. The purpose of the work is to study the characteristics of inexpensive quartz resonators made from industrially produced fused quartz tubes, with the aim of creating a medium-accuracy solid-state wave gyroscope. Using the finite element method, the main types of geometric heterogeneities arising from the production of such resonators and their influence on their spectral characteristics are investigated. The experimental results allow us to draw conclusions about the most significant defects affecting the performance and accuracy of the solid-state wave gyroscopes

The main purpose of this paper is the study the behavior of four multilayered composite material configurations subjected to different levels of low velocity impacts, in the linear elastc domain of the materials, using experimental testing and finite element simulation. The experimental results obtained after testing, are used to validate the finite element models of the four composite multilayered honeycomb structures, which makes possible the study, using only the finite element method, of these composite materials for a give application.

The paper analyses the process of simulation forward-backward extrusion. In metal forming industries, many products have to be formed in large numbers and with highly accurate dimensions. To save energy and material it is necessary to understand the behavior of material and to know the intermediate shapes of the formed parts and the mutual effects between tool and formed party during the forming process. These are normally based on numerical methods which take into account all physical conditions of the deformed material during the process. For this purpose, the finite element method has been developed in the past in different ways. The paper highlights the finite element simulation as a very useful technique in studying, where there is a generally close correlation in the load results obtained with finite elements method and those obtained experimentally.

The ability to use the finite-element method to solve numerically the frequency-dependent coupled equations of the photoacoustic–thermal effect is demonstrated. Both solids and fluids are simulated by the same set of equations with temperature and displacement as variables. The main interest of this formulation lies in its great flexibility to deal with mixed fluid–solid systems. As a first application, we consider the influence of thermoacoustic coupling on the pressure in a photoacoustic cell. We show that with increasing frequency, a transition from an isothermal to an adiabatic process occurs. Subsequently, results obtained from a numerical simulation of the photoacoustic cell, which includes the effect of a residual volume, are in good agreement with existing experimental data.

The finite element modeling is established for reinforced concrete(RC) beam reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) using the serial/parallel mixing theory. The mixture algorithm of serial/parallel rule is studied based on the finite element method. The results obtained from the finite element simulation are compared with the experimental data. The comparisons are made for load-deflection curves at mid-span. The numerical analysis results agree well with the experimental results. Numerical results indicate that the proposed procedure is validity.

Background: To reduce environmental pollution and improve resource utilization, lightweight equipment has become an important development trend of manufacturing. Therefore, thin-walled parts are being widely used in automobiles, aerospace, etc. due to their lightweight and high specific strength. However, they usually deform during machining due to poor stiffness. Objective: To reduce the machining deformation, the finite element method has been used to analyze the deformation law of thin-walled parts. Method: A 3D milling model of Al7050-T7451 thin-walled parts was established. Then, the influence of hole structure, rib, and auxiliary support on the deformation was investigated under the condition of optimized parameters. Moreover, some related patents on the research of machining deformation of thin-walled parts were also consulted. Results: The results showed that the established 3D model could accurately predict the machining deformation of thin-walled parts. The machining deformation on the edges is more severe due to holes that weaken the stiffness of thin-walled parts. Besides, ribbed slab and auxiliary support can shorten machining deformation by 71.9% and 65.2%, respectively.

The paper describes the results of a numerical study using Galerkin’s finite element method on an infinitely wide slider bearing. The analysis is based upon the generalized Reynolds equation with the assumption that the pressure gradient in the lubricating film is negligible in the axial direction. Detailed results for bearing characteristics including pressure, load capacity, frictional force, frictional coefficient as a function of film thickness ratio (aspect ratio), and velocity of slider show that these parameters have a strong influence on the bearing behavior. Specifically, it has been shown that friction coefficient and frictional force increases with lower aspect ratios. Also, higher load carrying and maximum pressure is obtained with increased speed of the slider Point wise comparison of the results obtained using the Finite Element Method and that obtained with second order Finite Difference marching Method using base parameters show that the latter simulation has a maximum point wise error of 0.46% in comparison to 0.32% for Finite Element simulation. It has been shown that the Finite Element Method produces more accurate results. The results are in tabular and graphical forms.

This paper presents a numerical method and computational results for acoustic noise of electromagnetic origin generated by an induction motor. The computation of noise incorporates three levels of numerical calculation steps, combining both the finite element method and boundary element method. The role of magnetic forces in the production of acoustic noise is established in the paper by showing the magneto-mechanical and vibro-acoustic pathway of energy. The conversion of electrical energy into acoustic energy in an electrical motor through electromagnetic, mechanical, or acoustic platforms is illustrated through numerical computations of magnetic forces, mechanical deformation, and acoustic noise. The magnetic forces were computed through 2D electromagnetic finite element simulation, and the deformation of the stator due to these forces was calculated using 3D structural finite element simulation. Finally, boundary element-based computation was employed to calculate the sound pressure and sound power level in decibels. The use of the boundary element method instead of the finite element method in acoustic computation reduces the computational cost because, unlike finite element analysis, the boundary element approach does not require heavy meshing to model the air surrounding the motor.
