A finite element model of a rolling bearing with ANSYS/LS-DYNA is bulit , considering pressure, speed, multi-body contact effects and constraints under friction. The movement process of the rolling bearing based on explicit dynamics is simulated successfully. Several relevant parameters of 6205 deep groove ball bearing are calculated and determined. The results show that rotational speeds of cage and rolling elements which get from finite element analysis are consistent with the theoretical calculated values and stress situations are the same as Hertz analysis solutions. It proves that the proposed model is effective, which lays a foundation for subsequent analysis and diagnosis for defected bearings.

A procedure for obtaining the load distribution in a four point contact wind turbine yaw bearing considering the effect of the structure’s elasticity is presented. The inhomogeneous stiffness of the supporting structures creates a variation in the results obtained with a rigid model. A finite element model substituting the rolling elements with nonlinear compression springs has been built to evaluate the effect of the supporting structure elasticity on the contact forces between the rolling elements and the raceways.

As the most important component of moving parts in the wheel set system, the rolling bearings’ performance is the key to the safety of locomotive running. In this paper, the finite element model of rolling bearing with fault of inner ring stripping was established in ABAQUS, the first twenty orders of natural frequency and mode characteristic was analyzed. The highest frequency was used as the center frequency of the band pass filtering in the process of resonance demodulation and this technique was validated with simulation. Then fault vibration signal of rolling bearing was collected using wheel set running-in test bench and was analyzed with this method, the comparison proved that the simulation and test results basically tallied.

The Finite Element Model

In the paper a new kind of rolling-sliding blend bearing has been studied. In order to comparing the new bearings and rolling bearings in the carrying capacity and service life, the stresses on the inner ring, the outer ring and the roller of rolling bearing and rolling-sliding blend bearing are analyzed by establishing the finite element model and solving it with finite element analysis software. The results show that the width of the stress concentration area on the outer ring and the roller and the inner ring of rolling-sliding blend bearing is 25 per cent narrower than that of rolling bearing and the depth of the largest stress on the outer ring and the roller and the inner ring of rolling-sliding blend bearing is 25 per cent shallower than that of rolling bearing and the largest stress on the middle and the end of the outer ring and the roller and the inner ring of rolling-sliding blend bearing is much smaller than that of rolling bearing. In the same case rolling-sliding blend bearings have greater carrying capacity and longer service life than rolling bearings.

Abstract Currently, the pre-processing stage of finite element analysis is a major stumbling block towards automation of the entire finite element modeling and analysis (FEMA) process. The lack of complete automation of FEMA greatly limits its impact as a design tool. This paper presents a blackboard-based, object-oriented modeling system for intelligent a-priori automatic three dimensional mesh generation. The modeling system enables the user to define the physical system at a natural domain-specific high level of abstraction and automatically derives lower-level finite element model representations. Knowledge sources interact with the blackboard to make modeling idealizations and select optimal meshing strategies. An example application in the domain of finite element modeling of multi-chip module microelectronic devices is presented.

This article focuses on the finite element analysis (FEA) that is a key ingredient in keeping a popular theme park ride up and running. Long before the ride entered service, Universal called in GLENCO Engineering Inc., to perform finite element modeling and analysis in order to evaluate the primary structural components of the Spider-Man ride vehicle cabin. The FEA initiated to increase the stiffness of the cabin floor also identified a location where the peak strains were higher than the values determined in the hand calculations and associated strain gauge testing. The FEA of the Spider-Man cabin structure significantly improved the design of the composite floor. Strains measured at locations selected without the benefit of FEA produced a misleading assessment of the design in its first prototype. FEA, however, identified peak strains at a location and direction that were not intuitively obvious to the engineers. The results were confirmed with dynamic strain measurements—verifying not only magnitude but also directions of the principal strains. The finite element model was a valuable tool that enabled the floor design to be precisely refined in one of the iterations.

The analysis of the design and technological features of the tail boom (ТB) of a helicopter made of polymer composite materials (PCM) is carried out.Three structural and technological concepts are distinguished - semi-monocoque (reinforced metal structure), monocoque (three-layer structure) and mesh-type structure. The high weight and economic efficiency of mesh structures is shown, which allows them to be used in aerospace engineering. The physicomechanical characteristics of the network structures are estimated and their uniqueness is shown. The use of mesh structures can reduce the weight of the product by a factor of two or more.The stress-strain state (SSS) of the proposed tail boom design is determined. The analysis of methods for calculating the characteristics of the total SSS of conical mesh shells is carried out. The design of the tail boom is presented, the design diagram of the tail boom of the transport category rotorcraft is developed. A finite element model was created using the Siemens NX 7.5 system. The calculation of the stress-strain state (SSS) of the HC of the helicopter was carried out on the basis of the developed structural scheme using the Advanced Simulation module of the Siemens NX 7.5 system. The main zones of probable fatigue failure of tail booms are determined. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) provides a theoretical basis for design decisions.Shown is the effect of the type of technological process selected for the production of the tail boom on the strength of the HB structure. The stability of the characteristics of the PCM tail boom largely depends on the extent to which its design is suitable for the use of mechanized and automated production processes.A method for the manufacture of a helicopter tail boom from PCM by the automated winding method is proposed. A variant of computer modeling of the tail boom of a mesh structure made of PCM is shown.The automated winding technology can be recommended for implementation in the design of the composite tail boom of the Mi-2 and Mi-8 helicopters.

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) beam finite element model was developed to investigate the torsional stiffness of a twisted steel-reinforced cord-rubber belt structure. The present 3D beam element takes into account the coupled extension, bending, and twisting deformations characteristic of the complex behavior of cord-rubber composite structures. The extension-twisting coupling due to the twisted nature of the cords was also considered in the finite element model. The results of torsional stiffness obtained from the finite element analysis for twisted cords and the two-ply steel cord-rubber belt structure are compared to the experimental data and other alternate solutions available in the literature. The effects of cord orientation, anisotropy, and rubber core surrounding the twisted cords on the torsional stiffness properties are presented and discussed.
