Static Test

To investigate the seismic behavior of joint between special-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) column and H-section steel beam, a pseudo-static test was carried out on five specimens with scale ratio of 1:2. The investigated factors include stiffening types of steel tube (multi-cell and tensile bar) and connection types (exterior diaphragm and vertical rib). The failure modes, hysteresis curves, skeleton curves, stress distribution, and joint shear deformation of specimens were analyzed to investigate the seismic behaviors of joints. The test results showed the connections of exterior diaphragm and vertical rib have good seismic behavior and can be identified as rigid joint in the frames with bracing system according to Eurocode 3. The joint of special-shaped column with tensile bars have better seismic performance by using through vertical rib connection. Furthermore, a finite element model was established and a parametric analysis with the finite element model was conducted to investigate the influences of following parameters on the joint stiffness: width-to-thickness ratio of column steel tube, beam-to-column linear stiffness ratio, vertical rib dimensions, and axial load ratio of column. Lastly, preliminary design suggestions were proposed.

And Storage

The stability of coating-substrate systems influences the chip formation and the surface integrity of the new generated workpiece surface, too. Using finite element (FE) simulation, deformations, strains and stresses in coated tools, caused by external and internal loads, can be computed on a microscopic scale. Since both, the whole macroscopic tool (in mm-scale) and the microscopic coating layers (in μm-scale up to nm-scale) must be included in the same geometrical simulation model, graded high-resolution FE meshes must be used. Nevertheless, the number of nodes in the 3D computational FE grid reaches some millions, leading to large computational time and storage requirements. For this reason, an advanced adaptive finite element (AAFEM) software has been developed and used for the simulation.

Scaling Procedure

Purpose This paper aims to use a scaling approach to scale the solutions of a beforehand-simulated finite element (FE) solution of an induction machine (IM). The scaling procedure is coupled to an analytic three-node-lumped parameter thermal network (LPTN) model enabling the possibility to adjust the machine losses in the simulation to the actual calculated temperature. Design/methodology/approach The proposed scaling procedure of IMs allows the possibility to scale the solutions, particularly the losses, of a beforehand-performed FE simulation owing to temperature changes and therefore enables the possibility of a very general multiphysics approach by coupling the FE simulation results of the IM to a thermal model in a very fast and efficient way. The thermal capacities and resistances of the three-node thermal network model are parameterized by analytical formulations and an optimization procedure. For the parameterization of the model, temperature measurements of the IM operated in the 30-min short-time mode are used. Findings This approach allows an efficient calculation of the machine temperature under consideration of temperature-dependent losses. Using the proposed scaling procedure, the time to simulate the thermal behavior of an IM in a continuous operation mode is less than 5 s. The scaling procedure of IMs enables a rapid calculation of the thermal behavior using FE simulation data. Originality/value The approach uses a scaling procedure for the FE solutions of IMs, which results in the possibility to weakly couple a finite element method model and a LPTN model in a very efficient way.

In order to study the performance of steel beam in the cooling process, a series of numerical analysis has been carried out in this paper. The solid model of the beam was established firstly using finite element method, the beam was heated and cooled gradually under the certain uniform load, then the internal forces and deformation of the beam were analyzed in the whole fire process. Based on this, the parameters of the highest temperature, heating rate and the cooling rate were changed, and their affect on the beam performance was studied by comparing.

Parametric Analyses

The paper presents a new way to conduct passive elimination of vibrations consisting of covering elements of structures with low dynamic stiffness with polylactide (PLA). The PLA cover was created in 3D printing technology. The PLA cover was connected with the structure by means of a press connection. Appropriate arrangement of the PLA cover allows us to significantly increase the dissipation properties of the structure. The paper presents parametric analyses of the influence of the thickness of the cover and its distribution on the increase of the dissipation properties of the structure. Both analyses were carried out using finite element models (FEM). The effectiveness of the proposed method of increasing damping and the accuracy of the developed FEM models was verified by experimental studies. As a result, it has been proven that the developed FEM model of a free-free steel beam covered with polylactide enables the mapping of resonance frequencies at a level not exceeding 0.6% of relative error. Therefore, on its basis, it is possible to determine the parameters of the PLA cover. Comparing a free-free steel beam without cover with its PLA-covered counterpart, a reduction in the amplitude levels of the receptance function was achieved by up to 90%. The solution was validated for a steel frame for which a 37% decrease in the amplitude of the receptance function was obtained.

Rolling of Al-Mg-Al tri-layer composite material fabricated by the explosion cladding method was simulated using finite element methods. The rolling temperature was determined based on the flow stresses of AZ31 magnesium alloy and 7075 Al alloy at elevated temperature. The strain distribution in the plates during rolling and effects of the reduction ratio on the separation in the Al/Mg/Al laminate were studied. The simulation agrees with experimental results.

ASME Section VIII, Division II, Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code does not have any design by analysis procedures for designing pressure vessel components in the creep regime. This publication presents a methodology for evaluating and categorizing elastic stresses calculated from finite element stress analysis when designing in the creep regime. The proposed methodology is compared with multi axial creep results for various pressure vessel components and found to be in reasonable agreement.
