This paper presents the results obtained by the authors when applying mechanical test methods that are validated using fatigue testing under simulated regime with finite element analysis. In addition to the mostly mandatory physical tests, the simulated regime testing can validate emerging conclusions. Virtual testing conclusions (computer simulated via Cosmos finite element analysis software), strengthen, complement and increase the accuracy of physical test conclusions. During the investigation of the physical test results, there are cases where the simulated physical test is not always explainable. This paper presents a case study conducted on special constructed screws that are subjected to fatigue and verified using the finite element analysis. It presents the possibility for practical application of simulated tests in order to redesign structures that fail during physical tests.

Fibrous composites are finding more and more applications in aerospace, automotive, and naval industries. They have high stiffness and strength to weight ratio and good rating in regards to life time fatigue. Investigating mechanical behavior under dynamic loads to replace this material is very important. In the present article, investigate Fatigue of Unidirectional Fibrous Composites by using finite element analysis. So, to achieve this purpose Firstly, modeling fiber and matrix in separate case and simulated semi actual conditions, attained S-N curve of fiber and matrix and after that by using micromechanical model of combination fiber and matrix can approach S-N curve of Unidirectional Fibrous Composites. Finally, Comparisons of the finite element analysis of Ansys and the experimental predictions indicate based on three point bending fatigue testing that the results are satisfactorily in good agreement with each other which approves the power law assumption in the model.

Abstract The multiaxial impact behavior of CYCOLAC GPM5500 (ABS glassy polymer) is obtained as a function of impact velocity and temperature from the standard impact test as specified by ASTM D3763. Finite element analysis (FEA) and ABAQUS/Explicit are used to model the impact behavior of the polymer. The generalized “DSGZ” constitutive model, previously developed by the authors and calibrated using low strain rate uniaxial mechanical test data, is extended to the high strain rate regime and used in the finite element analysis. Load-displacement curves from the finite element analysis are compared with the experimental data and agree well up to the maximum impact load (failure). Therefore, the proposed finite element analysis model can be used to predict the multiaxial impact behaviors of polymers at different temperatures and impact velocities.

Investigating Fatigue is one the most important factors in designing most mechanical structure. The reason is that, in many cases, the specimens of the structure break down without any warning or signal. Nano and micron’s Coatings are finding more and more applications in industry such as aerospace, automotive, and naval industries. The present article has a purpose. Firstly, it intends to explore the influence of four industrial coatings, namely, hardened chromium, embellished chromium, hardened nickel, and warm galvanizing, all of which have the thickness value at micron levels on fatigue specimens. Moreover, it aims to find the most convenient coating. To achieve these purposes, the abovementioned coatings with the thickness of 13 & 19 were coated on standard specimens who were made of CK45 steel under the same conditions. Then, the S-N curve of each sample was attained empirically according to the standard fatigue testing. Specimens are simulated in the finite element analysis according to experimental conditions and then S-N curve of each sample was attained. Finally, comparing the S-N curves, the most appropriate coating is introduced for the delineated conditions and based fatigue results may be predicted damage of coating.

Abstract The finite element method, which is a numerical discretization technique for obtaining approximate solutions to complex physical problems, is accepted in many industries as the primary tool for structural analysis. Computer graphics is an essential ingredient of the finite element analysis process. The use of interactive graphics techniques for analysis of tires is discussed in this presentation. The features and capabilities of the program used for pre- and post-processing for finite element analysis at GenCorp are included.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.

The purpose of this study was to determinate , using the Finite Element Analysis Method, the mechanical stress in a solid body , temporary molar restored with the self-curing GC material. The originality of our study consisted in using an accurate structural model and applying a concentrated force and a uniformly distributed pressure. Molar structure was meshed in a Solid Type 45 and the output data were obtained using the ANSYS software. The practical predictions can be made about the behavior of different restorations materials.
