Abstract The armature assembly of the jet pipe pressure servo valve plays an important role in connecting the torque motor and the jet pipe amplifier. A stiffness model of its complex structure is very necessary for analyzing the dynamic/static performance of the jet pipe pressure servo valve. At the present work, the component parts in the armature assembly are simplified into linear elastic beams. The simplified armature assembly is a fourfold statically indeterminate structure under the premise of small deformation. The unknown forces and moments are solved by using the section continuity condition as the additional supplement equation, and the functional relationship between the electromagnetic torque produced from the torque motor and the armature rotation angle /the nozzle displacement is derived based on the Castigliano's Theorem. The finite element model of the armature assembly is also established to calculate the deformation under different loads and different spring tube lengths. The simulated displacements with the finite element method are consistent with the theoretical results. The experimental results of the recovery pressure of the jet pipe valve verified the theoretical model. The proposed stiffness calculation method can be used as a reference for designing and optimizing the armature assembly in the jet pipe pressure servo valve.

A dynamic stiffness method is presented for the vibrations of plate structures that are reinforced by eccentric stiffeners. The model incorporates both out-of-plane and in-plane deformations of the plates and the stiffeners. Based on the relationship between the forces and displacements along the common edges of the plate or beam elements, the dynamic stiffness formulae for the plate and the beam elements are derived, respectively. The globally assembled dynamic stiffness matrix is then obtained using the finite element method so that the dynamics of built-up stiffened plates can be readily addressed by using the present method. Compared to the conventional finite element model, the dynamic stiffness model can provide very accurate solutions using only one element over each uniform plate and beam member, regardless of its geometry.

ABSTRACT Tire engineers are interested in predicting rolling resistance using tools such as numerical simulation and tests. When a car is driven along, its tires are subjected to repeated deformation, leading to energy dissipation as heat. Each point of a loaded tire is deformed as the tire completes a revolution. Most energy dissipation comes from the cyclic loading of the tire, which causes the rolling resistance in addition to the friction force in the contact patch between the tire and road. Rolling resistance mainly depends on the dissipation of viscoelastic energy of the rubber materials used to manufacture the tires. To obtain a good rolling resistance, the calculation method of the tire finite element model must take into account temperature changes. It is mandatory to calibrate all of the rubber compounds of the tire at different temperatures and strain frequencies. Linear viscoelasticity is used to model the materials properties and is found to be a suitable approach to tackle energy dissipation due to hysteresis for rolling resistance calculation.

To research the load upper bracket of Francis hydroelectric unit, then established the finite-element model, and analyzed the structure stress of 7 operating condition points with the ANSYS software. By the strain rosette test, acquired the data of stress-strain in the area of stress concentration of the upper bracket. The inaccuracy was considered below 5% by analyzing the contradistinction between the finite-element analysis and the test, and match the engineering precision and the test was reliable. The finite-element method could be used to judge the stress of the upper bracket, and it could provide reference for the Structural optimization and improvement too.

Review of technical literature regarding to train-induced vibrations shows that the effects of unsupported railway sleepers on this issue have been less investigated. So, the present study was devoted to numerical investigations of the mentioned issue. In this regard, first the problem of longitudinal train–track dynamic interaction was simulated in two dimensions by using the finite element method and the developed model was validated through comparison of the results with those obtained by previous researchers. In the next stage, a series of sensitivity analyses were accomplished to account for the effects of value of gap beneath the unsupported sleeper(s) and the track support stiffness on increasing the sleeper displacement and track support force. Moreover, the raised sleeper support force was introduced as applied load to a two-dimensional plane strain finite element model of track in lateral section and consequently the train-induced vibrations were assessed. As a result, a series of regression equations were established between the peak particle velocity in the surrounding environment of railway track and the sleeper support stiffness for tracks without unsupported sleepers and with one and two unsupported sleepers.

Abstract Based on hierarchic shape functions and an effective convergence procedure, the p-version and h-p adaptive analysis capabilities were incorporated into a finite element software system, called COSMOS/M. The range of the polynomial orders can be varied from 1 to 10 for two dimensional linear elastic analysis. In the h-p adaptive analysis process, a refined mesh are first achieved via adaptive h-refinement. The p-refinement is then added on to the h-version designed mesh by uniformly increasing the degree of the polynomials. Some numerical results computed by COSMOS/M are presented to illustrate the performance of these p and h-p analysis capabilities.

The popularity of numerical methods for modeling soil bases determines the increased demand for the accuracy of calculations. The choice of a model that meets the requirements of accuracy of calculations and minimization of costs is determined by comparative analysis of common soil models described in scientific literature and used in calculations of sediments and dynamic effects of buildings (finite element linear elastic, elastic, ideal-plastic, Mora - Coulomb with strengthening, elasto-plastic with strengthening at small deformation). The results have been obtained on test models using finite element method in the environment of PLAXIS 3D and SCAD Office programs. In order to compare results obtained, subject to requirements of the current regulatory documents, a comparative analysis of soils was carried out according to the model of Body of rules 22.13330.2011 "Foundations of buildings and structures". The analysis results were used for choosing an optimal model of soil bases of industrial buildings estimated in earthquake-proof design. It should be noted that the strong and weak points identified for each model justify the choice of the best model for each particular case.

The natural frequencies of circular saws limit the operating speeds of the saws. Current industry methods of increasing natural frequency include pretensioning, where plastic deformation is induced into the saw. To better model the saw, the finite element model is compared to current software for steel saws; C-SAW, a software program that calculates frequencies for stiffened circular saws. Using C-SAW and the finite element method the results are compared and the finite element method is validated for steel saws.
