In this paper a finite element analysis is carried out on the mechanical element called the piston liner; The main objective of the analysis is to know the advantages of increasing the number of fins in said mechanical element. For the piston to have greater durability and to function optimally, it is necessary to make certain adjustments to the cooling system, hence the fact of making modifications or improvements within the piston liner. Models of the piston liner were made, which were considered the most suitable to be subjected to simulations. Various simulations were carried out, which helped to conclude that the more fins there are, the better the piston performance. Basically, an analysis was made between the 16-fin liner and another analysis with the 19-fin liner, the results were as expected, the 19-fin liner gives us a more favorable cooling time for the piston

The paper established U75V 100-meter rail 3-D transient non-liner finite element analysis model about U75V 100-meter rail by using the large-scale non-liner finite element analysis software ABAQUS. By analyzing the different positions in the section of the temperature variation, the changes of bending degree and the residual stress variation after the bending deformation have changed. Based on the 100-meter straight rail in natural cooling under the cooling process, simulation results showed that in the cooling process, deflection change with time mainly divided into four stages; In consideration of the friction effect, the flat rail cold curve for its deformation among roughly flat, the curve about either ends, the scope for bending is 18 meters, the maximal displacement is 1.88 meters while the flat rail occured end colding.

Emissions such as Nox and CO resulting from the combustion of the diesel engines in the commercial vehicles leads to environmental degradation and ozone layer depletion. Alarming environment trend forces the government institutions to develop and enforce strict emission laws for the next generation transportation vehicles. Stricter emission laws mean higher operating pressure, temperature, reduced weight, tight packaging space, engine downsizing etc. Engine cooling systems are the critical components in the managing the engine cooling requirement of the commercial vehicle. Generally engine cooling system includes radiator, charge air cooler, engine oil cooler etc. Product development of thermal management system using the traditional design process takes more time, resource and money. To solve the complex design problem, numerical technique such as finite element analysis is performed upfront in the product development of the radiator to evaluate the structure behaviour under mechanical loading. In this paper, internal static pressure analysis of a radiator is presented to showcase the benefits of using the finite element technique earlier in the product design phase. Pressure cycle life at a critical joint of the radiator is calculated using strain-life approach. Finite element analysis aids in visualization of the hot spots in the design, comparing different design options with less turnaround time. Experimental testing and prototypes can be reduced. Risk of a product being failed is greatly minimized by performing the numerical simulation.

As self-loosening of nuts is really a problem for bolted joints in practical use, countermeasures for the loosening is highly required. In this situation non-loosening fasteners are one of the resolutions for any fastened machinery as an essential mechanical element. Self-loosening of threaded bolt/nut systems has been researched in number of works and most researches were based on experiment and a few were based on the finite element analysis in these years. Using this new approach, various types of nuts can also be examined. Among these nuts eccentric nuts and slit nuts are especially expected to be the solution, as these nuts are reported to endure NAS vibration tests and were not loosened. In the authors’ previous paper, an eccentric nut and a normal nut were analyzed and compared in the aspect of loosening property. In this paper degree of loosening of various nuts was investigated by experiment and the FEA.

A model is a representation of a real system that can be analysed and yield predictions under different operating conditions. The aim of this study was to model a milk cooling tank that cools milk to 4 °C to preserve its quality after milking at the farm. The model was developed and simulated using the software Ansys for finite element analysis. The results from the simulations were compared to experimental data. The model simulated milk cooling in the tank with an error lower than 2%, which is considered acceptable for numerical simulations. In other words, the model satisfactorily represents the real system. Thus, alternatives can be directly tested in the computational model to improve and optimise the milk cooling process and to better use the system without actually implementing them in the real system.

Thermal analysis was required in order to aid in the design and testing of a radiation tolerant computing (RTC) system using a radiation sensor. During development of the system, different test beds were employed in order to characterize the radiation sensor and its supporting electronic systems. The most common preliminary tests are high altitude balloon tests which allow the sensor to experience cosmic radiation at high altitudes, consistent with space flight operations. In this study, finite element analysis (FEA) was used to evaluate primary system architecture, system support structures, and the flight payload in order to determine if the system would survive preliminary and future testing. ANSYS FEA software was used to create thermal models which accurately simulated convective cooling, system heat generation, and solar radiation loading on the exterior of the payload. The results of the models were then used to optimize payload PC board (PCB) design to ensure that the internal electronic systems would be within acceptable operating temperatures.

Using hot aggregates, in concrete production, results in a drop in compressive strength of the produced concrete. Various methods have been proposed for cooling concrete aggregates. This paper proposes a modified design for a cooling drum to be used in this regard. Preliminary simulation of the heat flow during the cooling process in the drum is analyzed with the objective of optimizing the design and achieving minimum cooling time with the least possible power. A finite element model for the new design is proposed and discussed. Challenges facing numerical simulation are addressed in this paper. The results of the finite element analysis of the modified design are presented and compared with the original design.
