The ellipsoidal magnetization model has a wide range of application scenarios. For example, in aviation magnetic field prospecting, mineral prospecting, seabed prospecting, and UXO (unexploded ordnance) detection. However, because the existing ellipsoid magnetization formula is relatively complicated, the detection model is usually replaced by a dipole. Such a model increases the error probability and poses a significant challenge for subsequent imaging and pattern recognition. Based on the distribution of ellipsoid gravity potential and magnetic potential, the magnetic anomaly field distribution equation generated by the ellipsoid is deduced by changing the aspect ratio, making the ellipsoid equivalent to a sphere. The result of formula derivation shows that the two magnetic anomaly fields are consistent. This paper uses COMSOL finite element software to model UXO, ellipsoids, and spheres and analyzes magnetic anomalies. The conclusion shows that the ellipsoid model can completely replace the UXO model when the error range of 1nT is satisfied. Finally, we established two sets of ellipsoids and calculated the magnetic anomalous field distributions on different planes using deduction formulas and finite element software. We compared the experimental results and found that the relative error of the two sets of data was within [Formula: see text]‰. Error analysis found that the error distribution is standardized and conforms to the normal distribution. The above mathematical analysis and finite element simulation prove that the calculation method is simple and reliable and provides a magnetic field distribution equation for subsequent UXO inversion.

The radial tire belt is composed of multi-layered fiber-reinforced cords with a very complex structure. Restricted by the computing speed, the simplified finite element (FE) tire model with equivalent belt is usually applied in the vehicle dynamic simulation. However, it is always difficult to obtain the material parameters of the equivalent belt. In this paper, a calculation method of equivalent belt material parameters for the simplified FE tire model is proposed based on the three-dimensional (3-D) anisotropic elasticity of the cord reinforced composites. The simulation results of the static radial stiffness, modal characteristics, and dynamic responses for the simplified FE tire model with parameters obtained by the calculation method were compared with experiment results. The results show that the deviation between the experiment and simulation is acceptable, and the validity of the calculation method is verified.

Purpose Because of the compact structure, short flexspline (FS) harmonic drive (HD) is increasingly used. The stress calculation of FS is very important in design and optimization of HD system. This paper aims to study the stress calculation methods for short FS, based on mechanics analysis and finite element method (FEM). Design/methodology/approach A rapid stress calculation method, based on mechanics analysis, is proposed for the short FS of HD. To verify the stress calculation precision of short FS, a complete finite element model of HD is established. The results of stress and deformation of short FS in different lengths are solved by FEM. Findings Through the rapid calculation method, the analytical relationship between circumferential stress and length of cylinder was obtained. And the circumferential stress has proportional relation with the reciprocal of squared length. The FEM results verified that the rapid stress calculation method could obtain accurate results. Research limitations/implications The rapid mechanics analysis method is practiced to evaluate the strength of FS at the design stage of HD. And the complete model of HD could contribute to improving the accuracy of FEM results. Originality/value The rapid calculation method is developed based on mechanics analysis method of cylinder and equivalent additional bending moment model, through which the analytical relationship between circumferential stress and length of cylinder was obtained. The complete three-dimensional finite element model of HD takes the stiffness of bearing into consideration, which can be used in the numerical simulation in the future work to improve the accuracy.

The dynamic vibration of the gear coupling-rotor system (GCRS) caused by misalignment is an important factor of low frequency vibration and noise radiation of the naval marine. The axial misalignment of gear coupling is inevitable owing to mass eccentricity, and is unconstrained in axial direction at high-speed operation. Therefore, the dynamic model of GCRS is proposed, considering gear-coupling misalignment and contact force in this paper. The whole motion differential equation of GCRS is established based on the finite element method. Moreover, the numerical calculation method of meshing force, considering the uniform distribution load on contact surface, is presented, and the mathematical predictive time–frequency characteristics are analyzed by the Newmark stepwise integral approach. Finally, a reduced-scale application of the propulsion shaft system is utilized to validate the effectiveness of the proposed dynamic model. For the sensibility to low-frequency vibration, the natural frequencies and vibration modes of GCRS are analyzed through the processing and analysis of acceleration signal. The experimental dynamic response and main components of vibration are respectively consistent with mathematical results, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed dynamic model of GCRS with misalignment. Furthermore, it also shows that the proposed finite element analysis and calculation method are suitable for complex shafting, providing a novel thought for dynamic analysis of the propeller–shaft–hull coupled system of marine.

It is convenient for designers to get the buckling loads of sparse stiffened panels quickly by using engineering calculation method to analyze the stability of composite stiffened panels, but it is still unable to meet the accuracy requirements of analysis of dense stiffened panels. The buckling loads of stiffened panels are closely related to the buckling modes. Based on capturing and analyzing the Compressive Buckling waveforms of T-shaped densely stiffened panels, this paper presents a formula for calculating the buckling loads according to the geometric coefficients. The results are very similar to those of finite element simulation, and can be used to calculate the buckling loads of sparse and dense stiffened panels with different stiffeners.

A calculation method of rotational stiffness of all-vertical-pile-supported (AVPS) wharf is discussed and a formula based on rotational stiffness is derived to evaluate the distribution of horizontal forces on an AVPS wharf. Combining with an engineering example, the rotational stiffness and the horizontal force distribution coefficients were calculated utilizing finite element method (FEM), the elastic support-rigid beam method (ESRBM) outlined in Chinese Harbor Code, as well as the proposed formula for the piles layout width-length ratio of 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6. Results indicate that the increase in width-length ratio will increase the rotational stiffness and make the distribution of horizontal forces on each bent to be more uniform. Results calculated by the proposed formula are agree well with the results by FEM. The maximum difference of the distribution coefficient on the first bent between the results obtained by the proposed formula and by ESRBM is approximately 22%.

This paper investigates the influence of moving trajectories on ground loss ratio (GRL) due to the double-O-tube (DOT) tunnelling method. DOT tunnelling has three moving trajectories: pitching, yawing, and rolling, which have different behaviours during tunnel construction compared with those from single circular shield tunnelling. These moving trajectories cause overexcavation during tunnelling. The calculation method of gap area between the DOT shield machine and linings is evaluated in this research. Based on the superposition concept, the modification equation of GLR is proposed, which takes both moving trajectory and grouting volume into consideration. A field DOT tunnelling case is analysed to determine the correlation between moving trajectories and ground settlement. The influence of tail grouting is discussed by adjusting the grouting volume in different periods. The finite element method is also employed by setting the modified ground loss ratio (GLR′) as the contraction increment of linings. Results from both the measured and simulated settlements verify the reasonability of the proposed equation and the effect of moving trajectories on ground loss.
