Energy Absorbing

The drivers were hurt seriously by the vehicle steering column in the frontal collision. So a steering column with well energy-absorbing is very useful for the drivers. In this paper, the crashworthiness of a vehicle steering column is investigated by using the explicit dynamics finite element analysis method. Based on the proposed finite element model, the steering column with different material parameters including elastic modulus and yield strength are analyzed. Moreover, the displacement, velocity and energy absorption is discussed. The simulation results show that the crashworthiness of the vehicle steering column is significantly influenced by the yield strength. However, the elastic modulus has little effect on the crashworthiness.

In this paper, a finite element model of a composite gas cylinder was established by ABAQUS finite element software, with consideration that both heads were helically wound and their wound angle and wound thickness varied with different parallel circle radius. Stress of the composite gas cylinder and PEEQ of its liner under different working conditions after autofrettage treatment were studied, the stress distribution was assessed by the DOT CFFC standard and the effective range of autofrettage treatment was confirmed. This finite element analysis method may be referable to the design and inspection of composite gas cylinders.

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.

Laboratory fatigue life results are summarized from several test series of high-strength steel cannon breech closure assemblies pressurized by rapid application of hydraulic oil. The tests were performed to determine safe fatigue lives of high-pressure components at the breech end of the cannon and breech assembly. Careful reanalysis of the fatigue life tests provides data for stress and fatigue life models for breech components, over the following ranges of key parameters: 380–745 MPa cyclic internal pressure; 100–160 mm bore diameter cannon pressure vessels; 1040–1170 MPa yield strength A723 steel; no residual stress, shot peen residual stress, overload residual stress. Modeling of applied and residual stresses at the location of the fatigue failure site is performed by elastic-plastic finite element analysis using ABAQUS and by solid mechanics analysis. Shot peen and overload residual stresses are modeled by superposing typical or calculated residual stress distributions on the applied stresses. Overload residual stresses are obtained directly from the finite element model of the breech, with the breech overload applied to the model in the same way as with actual components. Modeling of the fatigue life of the components is based on the fatigue intensity factor concept of Underwood and Parker, a fracture mechanics description of life that accounts for residual stresses, material yield strength and initial defect size. The fatigue life model describes six test conditions in a stress versus life plot with an R2 correlation of 0.94, and shows significantly lower correlation when known variations in yield strength, stress concentration factor, or residual stress are not included in the model input, thus demonstrating the model sensitivity to these variables.
