Ultimate Objective

Dampers provide safety by controlling unwanted motion that is caused due to the conversion of mechanical work into another form of energy (e.g., heat). State-of-the-art materials are elastomers and include thermoplastic elastomers. For the polymer-appropriate replacement of multi-component shock absorbers comprising mounts, rods, hydraulic fluids, pneumatic devices, or electro-magnetic devices, among others, in-depth insights into the mechanical characteristics of damper materials are required. The ultimate objective is to reduce complexity by utilizing inherent material damping rather than structural (multi-component) damping properties. The objective of this work was to compare the damping behavior of different elastomeric materials including thermoplastic poly(urethane) (TPU) and silicone rubber blends (mixtures of different poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)). Therefore, the materials were hyper- and viscoelastic characterized, a finite element calculation of a ball drop test was performed, and for validation, the rebound resilience was measured experimentally. The results revealed that the material parameter determination methodology is reliable, and the data that were applied for simulation led to realistic predictions. Interestingly, the rebound resilience of the mixture of soft and hard PDMS (50:50) wt% was the highest, and the lowest values were measured for TPU.

This paper reports an experimental and numerical study of evaporation and cooling of a water droplet during the early stage of depressurization in a test vessel. During the experiment, a distilled water droplet was suspended on a thermocouple, which was also used to measure the droplet center temperature, and the droplet surface temperature was captured by an infrared thermograph. Experimental data indicated a large temperature difference within the droplet during the early stage of depressurization. A thermodynamic analysis of the experimental data found that the pressure reduction was not fast enough to induce liquid superheating and thus equilibrium evaporation was expected. A mathematical model was then constructed to simulate the droplet evaporation process. The model solves one-dimensional heat conduction equation for the temperature distribution inside the water droplet, with the convective heat transfer inside the droplet simplified through an effective conductivity factor. A simplified treatment was introduced to quantify the convective evaporation due to air movement and droplet swing induced by sudden opening of the electro-magnetic valve and the following air exiting. The model-predictions agree well with the measured temperature data, demonstrating the soundness of the present model.

Characterization Test

ABSTRACT Various research is covering instrumented nano-indentation in the literature. However, studies on this characterization test remain limited when it comes to the local mechanical behavior of elastomeric materials. The application of nano-indentation on these materials is a difficult task given their complex mechanical and structural characteristics. We try to overcome these experimental limitations and find an effective numerical approach for local mechanical characterization of hyper-elastic materials. For such needs, we carried out a numerical study based on model reduction and shape manifold approach to investigate the parameters identification of different hyper-elastic constitutive laws by using instrumented indentation. Similarly, we studied the influence of the indenter geometry, the friction coefficient variation, and finally the indented material height effect. To this end, we constructed a reduced order model through a design of experiments by proper orthogonal decomposition combined with the kriging interpolation method.

This research to carry on the 3D model of electro-magnetic-mechanical forming analysis, its goal is lies in discusses the magnetic force which electric current produces the influence which creates to the plate, like distortion, stress and so on aspects. But before the analysis, establishes the 3D model first, in converges in ANSYS, gives the material parameter, the boundary condition and so on, then carries on the solution, subsequently obtains the analysis result. Knew by the analysis result, in approaches corner on the U shape coil dull position, its amount of deformation is the maximum value, and stress maximum value also in corner.
