With the port crane getting bigger and heavier, and also moving much faster than before, the thermal effect in wheel and rail during the brake process can be a reason of the failure of port crane. In this paper, the thermal effect during the brake process of port crane is studied using the finite element method. Based on the finite element model, the ANSYS10.0 finite element software is used. The thermal effects under different coefficients are discussed. Three different slide speed of wheel, two different loads of crane, and three different frictional coefficients are applied. The importance of the different coefficients is obtained from the numerical results.

This paper explores the applicability of using the multiphysics finite element method to model a piezoelectric energy harvester. The piezoelectric energy harvester under consideration consists of a stainless-steel cantilever beam attached by a piezoelectric ceramic patch. Two configurations are considered: one without a proof mass and one with a proof mass. Comsol Multiphysics software is used to simultaneously model three physics: the solid mechanics, the electrostatics, and the electrical circuit physics. Several key relationships are investigated to predict the behaviours of the piezoelectric energy harvester. The effects of the electrical load resistance and a proof mass on the performance of a piezoelectric energy harvester are evaluated. Experimental testing is conducted to validate the results found by the finite element model. Overall, the results from the finite element model closely match those from the experimental testing. It is found that increasing the load resistance of the piezoelectric energy harvester causes an increase in voltage across the load resistor, and matching the impedance yields the maximum power output. Increasing the proof mass reduces the fundamental frequency that results in an increase of the displacement transmissibility and the impedance matched resistance. The study shows that the multiphysics finite element method is effective to model piezoelectric energy harvesters.

The stiffness and elastic deformation of a 4-DoF parallel manipulator with three asymmetrical legs are studied systematically for supporting helicopter rotor. First, a 4-DoF 2SPS + RRPR type parallel manipulator with two linear SPS type legs and one RRPR type composite leg is constructed and its constraint characteristics are analyzed. Second, the formulas for solving the elastic deformation and the stiffness matrix of the above mentioned three asymmetrical legs are derived. Third, the formulas for solving the total stiffness matrix and the elastic deformation of this manipulator are derived and analyzed. Finally, its finite element model is constructed and its elastic deformations are solved using both the derived theoretical formulas and the finite element model. The theoretical solutions of the elastic deformations are verified by that of the finite element model.

In this paper, the dynamic dent resistance of automotive hood outer panel is analyzed by means of finite element method. The geometric model of automotive hood outer panel is firstly established by UG software. Then the finite element model of automotive hood outer panel is established in ANSYS. The dynamic dent resistance of automotive hood outer panel is analyzed by simulating the collision between a rigid ball and an automotive hood outer panel. The results show that compared with the traditional steel panel, the automotive hood outer panel made of aluminum alloy can reduce its weight by 36.3% while meeting the requirement of dynamic dent resistance.

Large steam-turbine generators in operation may be stimulated to torsional vibrations by dynamic moments at the generator due to electrical system transients. The induced torsional stresses in the shaft have drawn growing attention over the past few years. To solve the torsional vibration problem the turbogenerator shaft is modelled by the finite element method. This paper presents the results for a 600 MW turbogenerator set. To verify the quality of the used finite element model measurements were carried out and compared with the analytical results. For some applications it is desirable to have a torsional model with a reduced number of degrees of freedom, which reproduces the finite element model only in the lower eigenfrequencies and modes. This paper describes a method on how to find the most accurate reduced torsional model with discrete masses and springs from the finite element model.

Numerical analysis of a wire drawing operation to compute the stress distribution along the blank cross-section is presented. The governing equation describing the wire drawing equation is weakened using the Bubnov-Galerkin finite element method to obtain the finite element model. The blank is descritized into a mesh of C0 quadratic isoparametric and C0 cubic finite elements. Stiffness matrices for all elements are obtained using the finite element model which were subsequently assembled by enforcing continuity of the nodal stress. Boundary conditions are applied and the resulting condensed system of equation solved for unknown nodal stresses using Gauss Seidel method. The relative performance of the C0 quadratic and C0 cubic elements are assessed. Parametric analysis is carried out to show the influence of drawing parameters on the stresses generated and drawing load. The analysis was carried out using a Visual Basic.Net program developed by the authors.The results are presented in both graphical and tabular forms.
