Abstract For analyzing behaviors of hairiness entanglement during fabric pilling, nonlinear dynamic motion equations are deduced based on the elastic thin rod element, combined with the moving characteristics of hairiness, which follow the principles of mechanical equilibrium and energy conservation. The finite element simulation model of the effects of hairiness performance on behaviors of hairiness entanglement was established by ABAQUS. The analysis solution values of nonlinear dynamics were compared with the finite element simulation results. The results showed that hairiness elastic modulus, hairiness friction coefficient and hairiness diameter have significant effects on frictional dissipation energy, strain energy and kinetic energy produced by hairiness entanglement during pilling. Compared the finite element simulation results with analysis solution values, they are in good agreement. The fitness is greater than 0.96, which verifies the validity of finite element method.

The effect of oscillation of internal pressure on the formability and shape accuracy of the products in a pulsating hydroforming process of T-shaped parts was examined by finite element simulation. The local thinning was prevented by oscillating the internal pressure. The filling ratio of the die cavity and the symmetrical degree of the filling was increased by the oscillation of pressure. The calculated deforming shape and the wall thickness are in good agreement with the experimental ones. It was found that pulsating hydroforming is useful in improving the formability and shape accuracy in the T-shape hydroforming operation.

The monostable acoustic metamaterial is realized by placing a flexible panel with a magnetic proof mass in a symmetric magnetic field. The theoretical model of monostable metamaterials has been proposed. The method of finite element simulation is used to verify the theoretical model. The magnetic force of the symmetrical magnetic field is simplified as the relationship between force and displacement, acting on the mass. The simulation results show that as the external magnetic force increases, the peak sound absorption shifts to low frequencies. The theoretical and finite element simulation results are in good agreement.

In the context of automotive crash simulation, rate-dependent properties are sought for all materials undergoing deformation. Measuring rate-dependent properties of adhesively bonded joints is a challenging and associated with additional cost. This article assesses the need for having rate-dependent properties of adhesively bonded joints for the example of a typical automotive structure, an adhesively bonded metallic T-joint. Using Finite Element simulation it could be shown that good agreement between experiment and simulation was only achieved if rate-dependent properties were considered for the adhesive.

ABSTRACT Tire rolling resistance (RR) is a key performance index in the tire industry that addresses environmental concerns. Reduction of tire rolling resistance is a critical part of lowering fuel consumption, which could be achieved by changing both design and compound formulation. The major challenge is availability of a suitable software code to evaluate RR of tires using nonlinear viscoelastic properties of rubber. We developed a rolling resistance code and used it to predict rolling resistance of truck bus radial tires with nanocomposite based tread compounds. The energy dissipation in the tire is evaluated using the product of elastic strain energy and loss tangent of materials through post-processing using the rolling resistance code developed in this work. The elastic strain energy is obtained through steady state rolling simulation of tires using commercial software. The loss tangent versus strains at two reference temperatures is measured in the laboratory using a dynamic mechanical thermal analyzer. A temperature equation is developed to incorporate the effect of temperature on loss energy. Good correlation of rolling resistance is observed between simulation and experimental results. Nanocomposites used in this study are prepared based on natural rubber and polybutadiene rubber blends with either organoclay and carbon black or organoclay and silica dual filler system. Carboxylated nitrile rubber, a polar rubber, is used as a compatibilizer to facilitate the clay dispersion in the rubber matrix. Compared with general carbon black or silica tread compounds, substantial improvement of rolling resistance is predicted by finite element simulation with nanocomposite based tread compounds containing dual fillers.

Machining of metals make use of thermal mechanical FEM model. Analysis of nonlinear elastoplastic finite element simulation of milling of 45 # steel material use software of ABAQUS that is finite element simulation technology. ABAQUS software could be carried out on prediction of the milling force. Through finite element analysis, distribution of stress field of workpiece and tool is obtained under the influence of thermal mechanical. The prediction accuracy of the model was validated experimentally and the obtained numerical and experimental results were found in good agreement.

Numerous vibrating electromechanical systems miss a rigid connection to the inertial frame. An artificial inertial frame can be generated by a shaker which compensates for vibrations. In this paper we present an encapsulated and perforated unimorph bending plate for this purpose. As basis for system simulation and optimization a new 3-port multi domain network model was derived. An extension of the network allows the simulation of the acoustical behavior inside the capsule. Network parameters are determined using Finite Element simulations. The dynamic behavior of the network model agrees with the Finite Element simulation results up to the first resonance of the system. The network model was verified by measurements on a laboratory setup, too.

This article presents the design and multi-physics coupling analysis of a shear-valve-mode magnetorheological fluid damper with different piston configurations. The finite element model is built to study the effects of the shape of the piston slot and magnetism-insulators at both ends of the piston yoke on the performance of the magnetorheological damper. Particle swarm optimization and finite element simulation are combined to optimize the structural parameters of the magnetorheological damper. The influences of different piston configurations on the magnetic flux density in the working gap, the shear stress, the viscous stress, and the dynamic range are investigated. The simulation results reveal that the magnetorheological damper, in which the corners of the piston slot are chamfered and the edges of the magnetism-insulators are filleted, exhibits a better damping performance. Furthermore, magnetorheological dampers with and without magnetism-insulators are fabricated. The influences of control current, displacement, and velocity on the mechanical performance of the magnetorheological dampers are experimentally investigated, and the experiment results are in accordance with the theoretical derivation and finite element simulation results.

Packaging-induced die-stresses due to temperature effects on various materials of the package are characterized using piezoresistive van der Pauw stress sensors over a temperature range of −180° C to 80° C. Piezo-resistive coefficients extracted previously are then used to obtain a mapping between change in resistance and corresponding stress at all tested temperatures. The obtained values of stress are compared with finite element simulation results.

This study investigated bending stress distribution on involute spur gear tooth profiles with pressure angle of 20 ̊ but different modules 2.5, 4.0 and 6.0 mm, using a finite-element-based simulation package - AutoFEA JL Analyzer. The drafting of the geometry for the three gear tooth profiles were implemented on the platform of VB-AutoCAD customized environment, before importing to the package. These were separately subjected to analysis for bending stresses for a point at the tooth fillet region with appropriate settings of material property, load and boundary conditions. With the same settings, the bending stresses were computed analytically using American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) established equation. The results of the two approaches were in good agreement, with maximum relative deviation of 4.38%. This informed the confidence in the implementation of the package to investigate the variation of bending stress within the gear tooth profile. The simulation revealed decrease in the bending stresses at the investigated regions with increase in the module of the involute spur-gear. The study confirms that Finite element simulation of stresses on gear tooth can be obtained accurately and quickly with the AutoFEA JL Analyzer.
