Three Dimensional Finite Element

Three-dimensional finite element model of Yingwuzhou Yangtze river bridge was established by using the finite element software ANSYS. Since the characteristics of bridge fire differed much from that of buildings, Heating curve HCincwas selected as heating curve caused by tanker fire. Heat loading was imposed on the middle of main span where the tanker fire had taken place of three-tower and four-span suspension bridge . The temperature field and stress, modulus of elasticity, strength of sling changing with time caused by tanker burning in midspan were systematically investigated to obtain the failure time of the sling. The calculation also compared the above results of HCinccurve with that of ISO834 curve. This research can provide some references to fire risk prevention measures of bridge during its service life.

In port crane industry, the surface hardening technique is widely used in order to improve the strength of wheel. But the hardening depth is chosen only by according to the experience, and the effect of different hardened depths is not studied theoretically. In this paper, the contact stresses in wheel with different hardening depth have been analyzed by applying three-dimensional finite element model. Based on this model, the ANSYS10.0 finite element software is used. The elastic wheel is used to verify the numerical results with the Hertz’s theory. Three different hardening depths, namely 10mm, 25mm and whole hardened wheel, under three different vertical loads were applied. The effect of hardening depth of a surface hardened wheel is discussed by comparing the contact stresses and contact areas from the numerical results.

In recent years, the self-elevating derrick substructure which with the characteristics of easy to install、remove and transfer are gradually replacing layer box, box block substructure, etc. The three-dimensional finite element model of the MXD-701 jack-up derrick and substructure, which is used to analyze static properties of the petroleum substructure under the six different working loads are built by the ANSYS finite element software. Meanwhile, the wireless structural testing system（STS-WiFi）is testing at the MXD-701 petroleum substructure. Then comparing of the model results and testing results. Analysis results indicate that the stress of the substructure at the two beam table is greatest, the stress of the upper part of the guy column is much greater, and others are low, but in general, the overall substructure can fit the requirements of the strength and intensity. The compared results can accurately reflect the project structure of the stress and strain. Then, we can get the capacity of the substructure in order to provide evidence to the security situation of the substructure. It will have great significance to enrich and develop the mast base design and safety assessment theory.

Micromechanics Modeling

Recent work on multifunctional materials has shown that a functionally graded interface between the fiber and matrix of a composite material can lead to improved strength and stiffness while simultaneously affording piezoelectric properties to the composite. However the modeling of this functional gradient is difficult through micromechanics models without discretizing the gradient into numerous layers of varying properties. In order to facilitate the design of these multi-phase piezoelectric composites, accurate models are required. In this work, multi-inclusion models are extended to predict the effective electroelastic properties of multiphase piezoelectric composites. The presented formulation will provide a general framework for modeling other coupled fields of heterogeneous materials. To evaluate the micromechanics modeling results, a three dimensional finite element model of a four-phase piezoelectric composite was created in the commercial finite element software ABAQUS with different volume fractions and aspect ratios. The simulations showed excellent agreement for predicting the electroelastic properties of the multiphase piezoelectric composites.

According to No.3 dam section of Dahuaqiao gravity dam, a three-dimensional finite element model is built by finite element software ANSYS. Mechanics of materials method, response spectrum method and time history analysis method are employed to analyze the strength of the dam section. Results show that the stress of dam toe, dam heel and downstream fold slope are relatively high and stress concentration emerges in those positions. The phenomenon indicates that these areas are vulnerable under the earthquake and precautions must be taken. But under the designed earthquake, the maximum stress of the dam section is below the allowable stress, representing the dam is in a safe state and the strength requirement is satisfied.

Under the background of a stable type suspension bridge (A suspension bridge with a inverse-tensional system), the effect of inverse-tensional system for suspension bridge is studied. Using finite element method, three-dimensional finite element model of stable type suspension bridge and a common suspension bridge is established by fish bone model consisting of beam elements respectively. The finite element characteristic equation of two bridges is solved with Block Lanczos method respectively. 20 order eigenpairs of two kind of suspension bridges are obtained. The inherent characteristics of the two type bridges are analyzed comparatively. The results showed that due to the effect of inverse-tensional structures, the overall stiffness of the stable suspension bridge is better than common suspension bridge obviously, which can effectively suppress the torsional vibration of the suspension bridge.

A novel hollow type of traveling wave rotary ultrasonic motor is proposed, optimized, fabricated, and tested in this study. Unlike conventional ultrasonic motors, this novel ultrasonic motor adopts a bran-new preloading method that preload is applied from the bottom of the stator through a wave spring, which can not only enhance the anti-overload ability but also extend the working life of the motor. According to this motor, a three-dimensional finite element model has been built by the commercial finite element software ADINA. In terms of the friction material and the preload, a detailed further optimization procedure is given after the initial design. Finally, the appropriate size and location of the friction layer and a proper preload for this motor have been determined. Almost all of the motor’s mechanical capacities, such as rotational speed, torque, and deformation, can be obtained by simulations in ADINA, which have good agreement with experimental results.
