The connection between the leg members and diagonal members of the urban transmission line tower is mostly in the form of single-limb connection. This paper puts forward a new connection form of pipe double-limb double-plate connection joint, which is based on the model of key joints in an urban narrow base tower structure. The traditional pipe single-limb single-plate and new pipe double-limb double-plate joint are analyzed and studied from three aspects of theory, numerical simulation and experimental study. Through finite element analysis, it is obtained that the section stress of angle steel under eccentric load is 2.05 times of that under axial load, which is basically consistent with the 2.5 times of the theoretical calculation. This shows that the stress of the angle steel in the pipe double-limb double-plate joint is greatly reduced as the axial stress component, which can ensure the safety of the angle steel. Based on the theoretical analysis of the tensile force of two kinds of joints, through the test research and corresponding numerical simulation of pipe single-limb single-plate and pipe double-limb double-plate joints, under the same load, compared with pipe single-limb single-plate joints, the pipe double-limb double-plate joints designed in this paper can greatly reduce the stress of connection plates and members, and compared with the existing joint forms, the bending stress of joint plates can be reduced by about four times, which greatly improves the bearing capacity of the joint. The research on the pipe double-limb double-plate connection joint will provide the basis for the design of new connection joints of narrow base towers in urban areas.

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.

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.

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.

The joining of ceramic and metals can be done by different techniques such as ultrasonic joining, brazing, transient liquid phase diffusion bonding, and friction welding. Friction Welding is a solid state joining process that generates heat through mechanical friction between a moving workpiece and a stationary component. In this article, numerical simulation on thermal analysis of friction welded ceramic/metal joint has been carried out by using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software. The finite element analysis helps in better understanding of the friction welding process of joining ceramics with metals and it is important to calculate temperature and stress fields during the welding process. Based on the obtained temperature distribution the graphs were plotted between the lengths of the joint corresponding to the temperatures. To increase the wettability, aluminium sheet was used as an interlayer. Hence, numerical simulation of friction welding process is done by varying the interlayer sheet thickness. Transient thermal analysis had been carried out for each cases and temperature distribution was studied. From the simulation studies, it is found that the increase in interlayer thickness reduces the heat affected zone and eventually improves the joint efficiency of alumina/aluminum alloy joints.

This paper primarily simulates the heat exchange part’s stress and strain situation under the load of temperature and gravity and their coupling impact aiming at obtaining the stress and deformation distribution. The authors took advantage of the method of the finite element analysis to study the stress and strain situation. Through the analysis, each part of the transfer’s stress and strain can be calculated. The conclusion of this paper provides the basis for the further enhancement of the machine life and optimization of the structure design.

In view of large load, the shape of large crank forgings and forging process are designed reasonably. Large crank forging process is simulated by numerical simulation software DEFORM-3D to improve the forging process and the dies, including adding upsetting step and related dies. The result shows that improved process and dies can obtain higher quality finish forgings and the load reduces to a rational level, which provides basis for crank forging process and die design.

Composite materials that have low weight and high strength properties are currently one of the promising materials for a vehicle’s body. However, the effect of low velocity impact on composite may cause failure through matrix cracking, fibre breakage and delamination which may reduce the structure strength. Low velocity impact can be analysed either by experimentation or numerical simulation. Numerical simulation which is also known as finite element analysis can show the degradation of the composite structure properties after an impact loading condition without doing any experimentation. Thus, in this paper, LS-DYNA is the finite element analysis software that is used to simulate a low velocity impact on composite structures.
