Parametric Studies

In this study, detailed finite element analysis was conducted to examine the seismic performance of square and circular hollow steel braces under axial cyclic loading. Finite element models of braces were constructed using ABAQUS finite element analysis (FEA) software and validated with experimental results from previous papers to expand the specimen’s matrix. The influences of cross-section shape, slenderness ratio, and width/diameter-to-thickness ratio on hysteretic behavior and compressive-tensile strength degradation were studied. Simulation results of parametric studies show that both square and circular hollow braces have a better cyclic performance with smaller slenderness and width/diameter-to-thickness ratios, and their compressive-tensile resistances ratio significantly decreases from cycle to cycle after the occurrence of the global buckling of braces.

Steel Columns

The mechanical properties of axial compression aluminium members under cyclic loading were studied and compared with those of steel columns. In order to proceed to theoretical study on hysteretic behavior of aluminium columns, a method by finite element analysis was proposed. The method was based on FEA software, ANSYS. The analysis methods considered the effects of material nonlinearity, geometrical nonlinearity and initial imperfection. On this basis, hysteretic curves, reversal skeleton curves and stiffness degradation curves of 6061-T6 aluminium columns, 6061-T4 aluminium columns and Q235 steel columns under axial cyclic loading were obtained and compared. Results show that the hysteretic behavior of the aluminium columns is similar with the low carbon steel columns and is significantly influenced by constitutive relationship.

Drilling frame on TD165CH Down-The-Hole Drill that has large slenderness ratio and be longer than 10m is one component of Down-The-Hole drill which is mainly subjected to load.In the process of drilling, drilling frame is not only subjected to loads which are like tensile, compression and torsion and so on, and be under the influence of impacting and vibration of impactor,the situation of force is complicated.By analysing of working condition of Down-The-Hole drill,there get all kinds of limit states of typical working conditions, and then using Ansys doing finite element analysis, there get distribution of the stress and strain of drilling frame and the result of modal analysis to check whether drilling frame meets the requirements of strength and stiffness or not,and whether it is possible to resonate with the impactor or not.By analysis,Structure strength and stiffness of drilling Frame on TD165CH Down-The-Hole drill meet the requirements of practical engineering, and drilling Frame does not resonate with the impactor.

Elastic Distortion

The untwist of rotating blades in turbomachines treated so far in the literatare simply as a pure elasticity problem is generalized and formulated rigorously as a problem of aeroelasticity by variational principles (VPs) and generalized VP (GVP). It takes into account not only the centrifugal force, but also the aeroelastic interaction between blades and the flow as well as the elastic distortion of the cross section shape of blades, assuming the material to be linearly elastic but nonisotropic. Thus, a new rigorous theoretical basis for the finite element analysis of blade untwist in turbomachine design is provided.
