Abstract REFERENCE: H. M. R. Aboutorabi and L. Kung, “Application of Coupled Structural Acoustic Analysis and Sensitivity Calculations to a Tire Noise Problem,” Tire Science and Technology, TSTCA, Vol. 40, No. 1, January – March 2012, pp. 25–41. ABSTRACT: Tire qualification for an original equipment (OE) program consists of several rounds of submissions by the tire manufacturer for evaluation by the vehicle manufacturer. Tires are evaluated both subjectively, where the tire performance is rated by an expert driver, and objectively, where sensors and testing instruments are used to measure the tire performance. At the end of each round of testing the evaluation results are shared and requirements for performance improvement for the next round are communicated with the tire manufacturer. As building and testing is both expensive and time consuming predictive modeling and simulation analysis that can be applied to the performance of the tire is of great interest and value. This paper presents an application of finite element analysis (FEA) modeling along with experimental verification to solve tire noise objections at certain frequencies raised by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) account. Coupled structural-acoustic analysis method was used to find modal characteristics of the tire at the objectionable frequencies. Sensitivity calculations were then carried out to evaluate the strength of contribution from each tire component to the identified modes. Based on these findings changes to the construction were proposed and implemented that addressed the noise issue.

Japanese national project of next generation light water reactor (LWR) development started in 2008. Under this project, spectral shift rod (SSR) is being developed. SSR, which replaces conventional water rod (WR) of boiling water reactor (BWR) fuel bundle, was invented to enhance the BWR’s merit, spectral shift effect for uranium saving. In SSR, water boils by neutron and gamma-ray direct heating and water level is formed as a boundary of the upper steam region and the lower water region. This SSR water level can be controlled by core flow rate, which amplifies the change of average core void fraction, resulting in the amplified spectral shift effect. This paper presents the steady state test with varied SSR geometry parameters, the transient test, and the simulation analysis of these steady state and transient tests. The steady state test results showed that the basic functioning principle such as the controllability of SSR water level by flow rate was maintained in the possible range of geometry parameters. The transient test results showed that the change rate of SSR water level was slower than the initiating parameters. The simulation analysis of steady state and transient test showed that the analysis method can simulate the height of SSR water level and its change with a good agreement. As a result, it is shown that the SSR design concept and its analysis method are feasible in both steady state and transient conditions.

AbstractEscalators are now more and more widely used around the world. As escalator accidents occur from time to time, it is very important to analyze the structure and reliability of escalators. This paper studies the structure and reliability analysis methods of typical escalators. By applying parametric analysis methods, the efficiency and accuracy of escalator structure analysis are greatly improved. Because the failure of each structural member of the escalator truss system is dependent, this paper applies the dependent failure reliability modeling method and analyzes the reliability of the escalator truss system. The results show that the reliability analysis method of the truss system after considering the dependent failure is more reasonable. The above research work has certain reference significance for the design and analysis of escalators.

Rational Evaluation

Rational evaluation for stress increase of unbonded tendon at ultimate is the basis to exactly compute flexural load bearing capacity of unbonded prestressed concrete beams. Moment-curvature nonlinear analysis method is adopted to compile programs for calculating stress increase at ultimate in unbonded prestressed continuous beams. The precision of the method is proved by comparing results of 16 experimental two-span unbonded prestressed continuous beams to the prediction value of stress increase at ultimate. Based on the simulation analysis, law of the influence of some basic factors to stress increase at ultimate in unbonded tendons in continuous beams is obtained, such as non-prestressed reinforcement index, prestressed reinforcement index, ratio of span to depth and loading type. Then formulas for calculating stress increase at ultimate in unbonded tendons in prestressed concrete continuous beams were established.
