Abstract Complex profile broaches are widely used in the manufacture of complex parts of aero-engines, but their cutting forces in the broaching process are difficult to predict and control. A new numerical model for broaching force with complex profile tools is presented, which considers the area and arc length of curved shear zone projection. The area and arc length were calculated by the curve function of the projection plane, which is firstly predicted by FEM simulation. Compared with the conventional force model, the accuracy of the modified model has been moderately improved. Ultimately, the modified main broaching force (Y-direction) model and the modified normal force (Z-direction) model show a significant improvement in accuracy by 4.8% and 9.7%, respectively. It suggests that the projection area of curved shear zone A1 and the projection arc length of curved shear zone l1 have a big impact on the broaching process. Moreover, the modified model proposed in this paper can provide guidance for the design of complex profile tools and facilitate the efficient and high-precision machining of complex parts.

In this paper, a model is developed to analyze the longitudinal forces of interaction between the vehicles within a train consist. The track geometry is described in a preprocessor in terms of an arc length parameter. A single degree of freedom vehicle model is developed, in which the nonlinear equation of motion of the vehicle is expressed in terms of the track arc length using a velocity transformation. The velocity transformation matrix is obtained by expressing the Cartesian and angular velocities in terms of the time derivative of the arc length. Models are developed for representing; braking forces from a typical air brake system, coupler reactions from draft gear or end-of-car cushioning devices, and the rolling resistance acting on each vehicle. An example of a 10-car train is used to demonstrate the use of the formulations presented in this paper. Different simulation scenarios, including varying track configurations and brake failure, are presented.

In this paper, a revised social force model in the stairs are discussed. Considering the influence of the gravity to the pedestrians in the stairs, we improve the model by adding the gravity factor, which makes the simulation more reality. In additional, we simplify the direction model of the psychological force between pedestrians considering the narrow space of the stair, and this will refine the computational efficiency dramatically. Furthermore, we also discussed the construction of the building models for the practical simulations. The experimental results in this paper shows the valid of the model.

An algorithm is outlined for the nesting of complex parts onto resources with irregular boundaries. The algorithm adapts Albano and Sapuppo’s technique for nesting irregular profiles on rectangular resources using a novel placement procedure. Several techniques for improving computational efficiency are also described, including complex profile simplification using a modified convex hull strategy. The enhanced algorithm is applied to the nesting of irregular parts on both rectangular resources and within irregular shaped part voids as applied to the offshore platform and ship building industry.

TC4 alloy is widely used in engine. The method of forming is forging and mechanical process in the old days. With the complex profile of Titanium alloy, the process is quite difficult and lead to low ratio of qualified products. Therefore the method of hot rolling is chosen. According to the basic theory of hot rolling and applying the FEM simulation technology, the one symmetrical pass with different gauge between the two rollers is designed to obtain expected section with the complex profile. In order to restrict the rise of temperature basing on the characteristic of TC4 and make the flowing uniformly to meet the performance requirements, the optimum matching scheme of the pass with the roller is designed first, then the reasonable shape and dimension of the blank is determined, finally the three rolling passes of one blank rolled in one pass with different gauge is decided.

In this paper, a new model of cutting grinding force for disc wheels is presented. Initially, it was proposed that the grinding cutting force was formed by the grinding force and cutting force in combination. Considering the single-grit morphology, the single-grit average grinding depth, the effective number of grits, and the contact arc length between the grit and the workpiece comprehensively, the grinding force model and the cutting force model were established, respectively. Then, a universal grinding cutting force model was optimized by introducing the effective grit coefficient model, dependent on the probability statistical method and the grit height coefficient model with Rayleigh’s distribution theory. Finally, according to the different proportions of the grinding force and cutting force, the grinding cutting force model, with multi-particles, was established. Simulation and experimental results based on piezoelectric sensors showed that the proposed model could predict the intermittent grinding cutting force well. Moreover, the inclusion of the grit height coefficient and the effective grits number coefficient improved the modeling accuracy. The error between the simulation and experimental findings in grinding cutting force was reduced to 7.8% in comparison with the traditional model. In addition, the grinding cutting force can be divided into three segments; increasing, steadiness, and decreasing, respectively found through modeling.

A new modified model based on the non-parallel primary shear zone is presented in this paper. Experiments showed that the primary shear zone in cutting process wasn’t an absolutely parallel-sided zone. In fact, there are small inclined angles in the primary shear zone. Therefore, in this paper, a correction coefficient is proposed to predict cutting forces exactly. The coordinate mapping approach is adopted to obtain the correction coefficient and the software MATLAB is utilized to predict cutting forces. The material of stainless steel 316L is used to validate the modified model. By comparison between predicted analysis and experimental results, the proposed model shows good agreements with experiments.

Two approaches are commonly used for solving the problem of wheel/rail contact in railroad dynamics. The first is the elastic approach in which the wheel is assumed to have six degrees of freedom with respect to the rail. The normal contact forces are defined using Hertz’s contact theory or in terms of assumed stiffness and damping coefficients. The second approach is the constraint approach in which nonlinear kinematic contact constraint equations are introduced, leading to a model in which the wheel has five degrees of freedom with respect to the rail. It is the objective of this investigation to present a new formulation for the wheel/rail contact problem based on the elastic force approach. Crucial to the success of any elastic force formulation for wheel/rail contact problem is the accurate prediction of the location of the contact points. To this end, features of multibody formulations that allow introducing arbitrary differential equations are exploited in this investigation in order to obtain a good estimate of the rail arc length traveled by the wheel set. In the formulation presented in this paper, four surface parameters are used to describe the wheel and the rail surfaces each with arbitrary geometry. In order to determine the location of the points of contact between the wheel and the rail, a first order differential equation for the rail arc length is introduced and is integrated simultaneously with the multibody equations of motion of the wheel/rail system. The method presented in this paper allows for multiple points of contact between the wheel and the rail by using an optimized search for all possible contact points. The normal contact forces are calculated and used with non-linear expressions for the creepages to determine the creep forces. The paper also discusses two different procedures for the analysis of the two-point contact in the wheel/rail interaction. Numerical results obtained using the elastic force model are presented and compared with the results obtained using the constraint approach.
