Abstract Numerical simulation tools are increasingly used for developing novel composites and composite reinforcements. The aim of this paper is the application of digital elements for the simulation of the mechanical behaviour of textile reinforcement structures by means of a finite element analysis. The beneficial computational cost of these elements makes them applicable for the use in large models with a solution on near micro-scale. The representation of multifilament yarn models by a large number of element-chains is highly suitable for the analysis of structural and geometrical effects. In this paper, a unit cell generating method for technical reinforcement textiles, using digital elements for the discretization, is introduced.

Localization Approach

A novel localization approach that seamlessly bridges the macro- and micro-scale models is proposed and used to model the forming-induced residual stresses within a representative volume element of a fiber reinforced composite. The approach uses a prescribed boundary that is theoretically deduced by integrating the asymptotic expansion of a composite and the equal strain transfer, thus rendering the simulation setting to be easier than conventional approaches. When the localization approach is used for the finite element analysis, the temperature and residual stresses within an ideal cubic representative volume element are precisely simulated, given a sandwiched thermoplastic composite is formed under one-side cooling condition. The simulation results, after being validated, show that the temperature gradient has an impact on the local residual stresses, especially on the in-plane normal stress transverse to the fiber, and consequently, influences the structural deformation. This newly designed localization approach demonstrates the advantages of enhanced precision and reduced computational cost owing to the fast modeling of the finely meshed representative volume element. This is beneficial for a detailed understanding of the actual residual stresses at the micro-scale.

Important Significance

Vibration results from situation when the inherent frequency close to the external exciting force during the operation of the motor, so accurate and effective calculation of the natural frequency of the motor has an important significance to damping noise. By numerical simulation model and the ANSYS finite element modal, the inherent frequencies were got of the motor and comparison results verify the effectiveness of the motor model. The effect of the modulus of elasticity of the softening layer between the motor and the ground to the inherent frequency was researched intensively, and puts forward related suggestions.

Cylindrical Roller

A dynamic finite element analysis model for cylindrical roller bearing is developed, and the complex stress distribution and dynamic contacting nature of the bearing are investigated carefully based on ANSYS/LS-DYNA. Numerical simulation results show that the stress would be bigger when the element contacting with the inner or outer ring than at other times, and the biggest stress would appear near the area that roller contacting with the inner ring. Phenomenon of stress concentration on the roller is found to be very obvious during the operating process of the bearing system. The stress distributions of different elements are uneven on the same side surface of roller in its axis direction. Numerical simulation results can give useful references for the design and analysis of rolling bearing.

Abstract The deformation and spreading of fully molten particles impacting onto a rough surface have been investigated by numerical simulation. A numerical technique, based on finite element analysis, was developed specifically for this simulation. The Lagrangian method with an automatic remeshing technique has been used to trace accurately the free surface of the molten matter and to improve the accuracy of the computation. A friction limiting condition at the particle substrate interface was introduced to describe the effects of the substrate surface roughness. This surface characteristic significantly influences the flattening degree, the flattening time, the spreading velocity of the liquid particle and its final shape.

Large Bandwidth

We are developing a new solution for wide I/O package on package applications, which is Bond Via Array (BVA) technology. The prototype vehicle built in this study has 1020 I/O's at a pitch of 0.24 mm with a high aspect ratio of approximately 10:1 and is ≤1.4 mm tall. PoP applications require large bandwidth and thinner packages challenging package developers to address warpage control for high yield processes. The design optimization of this package was established through rigorous finite element analysis of materials selection and structural modifications. The simulation methodology was validated by measuring the warpage as a function of temperature for the experimental prototypes. The details for the simulation and verification processes for the wide I/O process will be discussed. The variation between finite element analysis predictions and the experimental builds was ~10%, which allowed us to complete package design optimization with our simulation tools. The prototype build includes a standard and a low CTE substrate.

The Finite Element Analysis

Advanced high strength galvanized steel sheet has been one of the dominant materials of modern automotive panels because of its outstanding mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The zinc coating thickness of hot dip galvanized steel sheet is only about 10–20 μm, which is a discarded object on the macro level. However, it is obvious to damage and impact on stamping performance. Therefore, this paper takes zinc coating as the research object and builds its mechanical constitutive model based on a nano-indentation test and dimensional analysis theory. We separated the zinc coating from the galvanized steel substrate and constructed a sandwich material model by introducing a cohesive layer to connect the zinc coating and the steel substrate. We obtained the interface binding energy between the zinc coating and the steel substrate through the nano-scratch test. The accuracy of the model is verified by the finite element analysis of hemispherical parts. We used the five-layers element model with 0 thickness cohesive layer to simulate the zinc coating damage of galvanized steel sheet. The hemispherical part drawing experiment is used to verify the feasibility of the finite element analysis results. The results demonstrate that it is more accurate to consider the finite element numerical simulation of the zinc coating, introducing the cohesive element to simulate damage between the coating and the substrate. Drawing depth, stamping force, and the strain of the numerical simulation are closer to the experimental results.
