This paper deals with a Bush plane tire rolling in critical and extreme conditions as shocks and rebounds. The approach adopted is based on previous works on the modelling of Jumbo-Jet tires. A numerical finite element model is used in the simulation of the tire. Firstly, an experimental part is dedicated to study the inner features of the tire. The tire geometry and the materials within it are described. Secondly, a 2D embedded mesh model is developed based on the tire cross-section. Then a 3D model is generated and a runway with rocks and ramps is modelled. The tire behavior while rolling over obstacles is investigated. The simulation results, such as tire deformation, are analyzed. The results show significant deformation of the tire while rolling over ramps and a low lateral stiffness, giving it a significant capacity to absorb shocks. The numerical simulation was developed in order to predict the tire behavior during landing, especially in critical and extreme conditions. Cornering simulations were realized to evaluate the self-aligning moment. The numerical simulation is an efficient tool to estimate the forces transferred to the rim axis in critical and extreme conditions.

Secondly ,the temperature field of tire was analyzed in line with the analytical result of the strain and stress. Thirdly, the rolling energy loss was calculated to solve the rolling resistance. The simulation method is conducive to the structural design of tire and computation or prediction of the rolling resistance of tire.

The drum is the working mechanism of the coal shearer, and the coal loading performance of the drum is very important for the efficient and safe production of coal mine. In order to study the coal loading performance of the shearer drum, a discrete element model of coupling the drum and coal wall was established by combining the results of the coal property determination and the discrete element method. The movement of coal particles and the mass distribution in different areas were obtained, and the coal particle velocity and coal loading rate were analyzed under the conditions of different helix angles, rotation speeds, traction speeds and cutting depths. The results show that with the increase of helix angle, the coal loading first increases and then decreases; with the increase of cutting depth and traction speed, the coal loading rate decreases; the increase of rotation speed can improve the coal loading performance of drum to a certain extent. The research results show that the discrete element numerical simulation can accurately reflect the coal loading process of the shearer drum, which provides a more convenient, fast and low-cost method for the structural design of shearer drum and the improvement of coal loading performance.

Lumped Element Model

AbstractA subwoofer generates the lowest frequency range in loudspeaker systems. Subwoofers are used in audio systems for live concerts, movie theatres, home theatres, gaming consoles, cars, etc. During the last decades, numerical simulations have emerged as a cost- and time-efficient complement to traditional experiments in the design process of different products. The aim of this study is to reduce the computational time of simulating the average response for a given subwoofer design. To this end, we propose a hybrid 2D–3D model that reduces the computational time significantly compared to a full 3D model. The hybrid model describes the interaction between different subwoofer components as interacting modules whose acoustic properties can partly be pre-computed. This allows us to efficiently compute the performance of different subwoofer design layouts. The results of the hybrid model are validated against both a lumped element model and a full 3D model over a frequency band of interest. The hybrid model is found to be both accurate and computationally efficient.

In an earlier study, a 3-D thermomechanical coupled finite element model was built and experimentally validated to investigate the evolution of the thermal residual stresses and distortions in electron beam additive manufactured Ti-6Al-4V build plates. In this study, an investigation using this robust and accurate model was focused on an efficient preheating method, in which the electron beam quickly scanned across the substrate to preheat the build plate prior to the deposition. Various preheat times, beam powers, scan rates, scanning paths and cooling times (between the end of current preheat scan/deposition layer and the beginning of the next preheat scan/deposition layer) were examined, and the maximum distortion along the centerline of the substrate and the maximum longitudinal residual stress along the normal direction on the middle cross-section of the build plate were quantitatively compared. The results show that increasing preheat times and beam powers could effectively reduce both distortion and residual stress for multiple layers/passes components.

Simulation Results

To explore the mechanical properties of the braided corrugated hose, the space curve parametric equation of the braided tube is deduced, specific to the structural features of the braided tube. On this basis, the equivalent braided tube model is proposed based on the same axial stiffness in order to improve the calculational efficiency. The geometric model and the Finite Element Model of the DN25 braided corrugated hose is established. The numerical simulation results are analyzed, and the distribution of the equivalent stress and frictional stress is discussed. The maximum equivalent stress of the braided corrugated hose occurs at the braided tube, with the value of 903MPa. The maximum equivalent stress of the bellows occurs at the area in contact with the braided tube, with the value of 314MPa. The maximum frictional stress between the bellows and the braided tube is 88.46MPa. The tensile experiment of the DN25 braided corrugated hose is performed. The simulation results are in good agreement with test data, with a maximum error of 9.4%, verifying the rationality of the model. The study is helpful to the research of the axial stiffness of the braided corrugated hose and provides the base for wear and life studies on the braided corrugated hose.

Carbon/Carbon composites finds its applications in several high temperature applications in the field of Space, Aviation etc. Designing of components or sub systems with carbon/carbon composites is a challenging task. It requires prediction of elastic properties with a very high accuracy. The prediction can be normally done by analytical, numerical or experimental methods. At the design stage the designers resort to numerical predictions as the experimental methods are not feasible during design stage. Analytical methods are complex and difficult to implement. The designers use numerical methods for prediction of elastic properties using Finite Element Modeling (FEM). The spatial distribution of fibers in matrix has an effect on results of prediction of elastic constants. The generation of random spatial distribution of fibers in representative volume element (RVE) challenging. The present work is aimed at study of effect of spatial distribution of fiber in numerical prediction of elastic properties of unidirectional carbon/carbon composites. MATLAB algorithm is used to generate the spatial distribution of fibers in unidirectional carbon/carbon composites. The RVE elements with various random fiber distributions are modeled using numerical Finite element Model using ABAQUS with EasyPBC plugin. The predicted elastic properties have shown significant variation to uniformly distributed fibers.

The aim of this paper is to study vibrations generated at contact with friction for two different applications. The first one is an investigation of friction-induced vibrations of a beam-on-beam system in contact with friction. For this study the complementary use of linear and nonlinear analyses drives to the understanding of physical phenomenon induced in these vibrations. The second parts consists in investigating numerically dynamic rupture of a bimaterial interface. The numerical Finite Element model is composed of two homogeneous and isotropic elastic solids which are brought in contact with friction by remote normal compression and shear traction. The rupture is nucleated by decreasing instantaneously the friction coefficient to zero at nucleation area. The properties of the obtained ruptures (velocity, generated waves, interface state…) are analyzed.
