Weight Structure

Because of environmental issues, the regulations on gas emission from fossil fuels become stricter. Some investigations are being carried out actively to change the fossil fuel power into electrical power. Researches on the reduction of weight in the transportation machine is also executed. Weight reduction is one of the methods of reducing the gas emission and increasing the range of electrically powered machines. The method of weight reduction includes the development of light weight material and light weight structure design method. FRP is the most representative light weight material. Among various FRP materials, (CFRP) has the highest specific strength. Light weight structure design method includes the method of designing the structure by converting the bonding method with bolts and rivets to adhesion method with the use of adhesives. In order to pursue the research on the adhesive structure design method, the research on adhesion exfoliation by using CZM needs to be carried out. There are the researches with various methods in accordance with the style of adhesion exfoliation load and material designs. In this study, the adhesion exfoliation on the tearing fracture of tapered double cantilever beam configuration was applied to the research. Research model was composed by applying the gradient angles of 6° and 8° to TDCB. The model with the gradient angle of 8° has less fracture due to adhesion than that of 8°. The basic data on structural design of adhesion structure were provided by comparatively analyzing the research models. This research was carried out by using finite element analysis method in this study. Finite element analysis method has the advantage of reducing the cost and time taken for experiments in researches. Therefore, the finite element analysis program, ANSYS, was used in this study.

In order to get the deployable antenna with light weight but large size and high stiffness, this study investigated SMPC self-deployable driver mechanism based on the deformation mechanism of SMPC, and designed the SMPC space deployable antenna. The laminated shell structure with two pieces of back-to-back configuration was analyzed. Finite element analysis revealed that the reasonable central angle of the laminated shell cross-section was 90°. The ends fixing structure of the SMPC hinge was given. The function and structure of the hoop truss deployable antenna were designed to meet the functional and accuracy requirements.

A method of structural optimization for upper beam is proposed in order to satisfy the requirements of high stiffness and light weight of isothermal hydraulic press. Finite element analysis mold is established in ABAQUS by analyzing structural features and load conditions of hydraulic press. When original structure is retained, stiffness and strength of upper beam are checked based on finite element analysis mold. Key factors influencing stiffness and mass are extracted and analysis results are obtained by experiment design. Mathematical model for structural optimization is established by second order stepwise regression model. The goal of structural optimization is to increase stiffness of upper beam while mass is set as constraint. The stiffness of upper beam is increased by 7.04% and its mass remains unchanged basically when structural optimization is finished.
