In order to avoid the delamination of traditional tubular composite materials and reduce its woven cost, on an ordinary loom, the three-dimensional (3D) tubular woven fabrics were woven with basalt filament tows, and then the 3D tubular woven composites were prepared with epoxy resin by a hand layup process. The wall thickness of the 3D tubular woven composite was thin, and was only 2 mm thick. Through experiments and finite element method (FEM) simulation, the axial compression properties of the material were analyzed. The results show that the material 2 mm thick has good axial compression performance, the maximum load value of the experiment is 10,578 N, and the maximum load value of the finite element simulation is 11,285 N. The error between the two is 6.68%, indicating that the experiment and simulation have a good consistency. The failure mode of the material is also analyzed through finite element method simulation in the paper, thus revealing the failure stress propagation, local stress concentration, and failure morphology of the material. It provides an effective reference for the design and application of the 3D tubular woven composite.

The complete prediction of the second order permeability tensor for a three dimensional multi-axial preform is critical if we are to model and design the manufacturing process for composites by considering resin flow through a multi-axial fiber structure. In this study, the in-plane and transverse permeabilities for a woven fabric were predicted numerically by the coupled flow model, which combines microscopic and macroscopic flows. The microscopic and macroscopic flows were calculated by using 3-D CVFEM(control volume finite element method) for micro and macro unit cells. To avoid a checkerboard pressure field and improve the efficiency of numerical computation, a new interpolation function for velocity is proposed on the basis of analytical solutions. The permeability of a plain woven fabric was measured by means of an unidirectional flow experiment and compared with the permeability calculated numerically. Reverse and simple stacking of plain woven fabrics were taken into account and the relationship between the permeability and the structures of the preform such as the fiber volume fraction and stacking order is identified. Unlike other studies, the current study was based on a more realistic three dimensional unit cell. It was observed that in-plane flow is more dominant than transverse flow within the woven perform, and the effect of the stacking order of a multi-layered preform was negligible.

The research reports the development of geometrical models of woven fabric structures and evaluation of fabric thermal properties by using finite element method. A mesoscopic scale modelling approach was used to investigate the effective thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of woven textile structures. Various techniques, including scanning electron microscopy and experimental methods, have been adopted to obtain the actual three-dimensional parameters of the fabrics for finite element analysis. The research revealed that the thermal anisotropy of fibres, fibres material orientation and temperature-dependent thermal conductivity of fibre has a significant impact on the effective thermal conductivity of fabrics because experimental and simulated results were highly correlated with the consideration of above-mentioned factors.

A particular formulation of the three-dimensional finite element method specifically for analyzing the Vickers hardness test is established. The Vickers hardness of 0.46 percent carbon steel and 70/30 brass is calculated using the proposed method using the stress-strain curve obtained from a tensile test. The calculated values correlate well with the experimental results for 0.46 percent steel and 70/30 brass. In addition, the analysis predicts the extension of the plastic zone induced by indentation, the stresses at the maximum load, and the residual stresses present after complete removal of the load. At the maximum load there are no tensile stresses in the vicinity of the indenter. However, after removal of the load, large tensile residual stresses are present on the diagonal edge beneath the indentation in the direction perpendicular to the diagonal edge. These results imply that it is necessary to reconsider the accuracy and validity of the conventional indentation method used for the determination of Klc for brittle materials such as ceramics.

Abstract The paper describes the intention of the authors to determine whether it is possible to predict relative belt edge endurance for radial passenger car tires using the finite element method. Three groups of tires with different belt edge configurations were tested on a fleet test in an attempt to validate predictions from the finite element results. A two-dimensional, axisymmetric finite element analysis was first used to determine if the results from such an analysis, with emphasis on the shear deformations between the belts, could be used to predict a relative ranking for belt edge endurance. It is shown that such an analysis can lead to erroneous conclusions. A three-dimensional analysis in which tires are modeled under free rotation and static vertical loading was performed next. This approach resulted in an improvement in the quality of the correlations. The differences in the predicted values of various stress analysis parameters for the three belt edge configurations are studied and their implication on predicting belt edge endurance is discussed.

In this paper, a detailed three-dimensional, transient, finite element method of fuse link NH000 gG 100 A is proposed. The thermal properties during the operation of the fuses under nominal (100 A) and custom conditions (110 and 120 A) are the main focus of the analyses that were conducted. The work concerns both the outside elements of the fuse link (ceramic body) and the elements inside (current circuit). Both the distribution of the electric current and its impact on the temperature of the construction parts of the fuses during their operating mode have been described. Temperature distribution, power losses and energy dissipation were measured using a numerical model. In order to verify and validate the model, two independent teams of scientists executed experimental research, during which the temperature was measured on different parts of the device involving the rated current. Finally, the two sets of results were put together and compared with those obtained from the simulation tests. A possible significant correlation between the results of the empirical tests and the simulation work was highlighted.

We present the analyses of dynamics behaviors on a stroller wheel by three dimensional finite element method. The vibration of the wheel system causes by two different type barriers on the road as an experiment design to mimic the real road conditions. In addition to experiment analysis, we use two different packages to numerically simulate the wheel system dynamics activities. Some of the simulation results have good agreement with the experimental data in this research. Other interesting data will be measured and analyzed by us for future study and we will investigate them by using adaptive finite element method for increasing the precision of the computation results.
