With finite element method, the numerical model of the E-type diaphragm was built in this paper. Based on the model, we got the shear strain law of the E-type diaphragm surface under uniform pressure. Taking it as elastic element and the FBG as sensing element, we made a FBG pressure sensor and obtained the experiment result. The result fit well with finite element simulation value. It shows that the finite element model in the paper is reasonable and effective. The model can be used to design and optimize the sensor.

This study aims to predict and to examine the springback of CP2 Titanium sheets in hydroforming with membrane diaphragm process, which is the branch of hydroforming process. The Hydroforming with Membrane Diaphragm was used for experimental investigation, in which specified CP2 titanium sheets were bent with various radii and angles on a specifically designed die. Springback results were then used to validate the finite element model constructed previously. Results show that the numerical model of this study can be used to predict the approximate springback values. Thus, the scrap quantities of the sheet metal titanium products can be reduced by making some modifications on the die, such as the springback compensation based on the obtained approximate springback values.

The aim of this paper is to design and fabricate a star die and a cylindrical die to produce a star shape by redrawing the cylindrical shape and comparing it to the conventional method of producing a star cup drawn from the circular blank sheet using experimental (EXP) and finite element simulation (FES). The redrawing and drawing process was done to produce a star cup with the dimension of (41.5 × 34.69mm), and (30 mm). The finite element model is performed via mechanical APDL ANSYS18.0 to modulate the redrawing and drawing operation. The results of finite element analysis were compared with the experimental results and it is found that the maximum punch force (39.12KN) recorded with the production of a star shape drawn from the circular blank sheet when comparing the punch force (32.33 KN) recorded when redrawing the cylindrical shape into a star shape. This is due to the exposure of the cup produced drawn from the blank to the highest tensile stress. The highest value of the effective stress (709MPa) and effective strain (0.751) recorded with the star shape drawn from a circular blank sheet. The maximum value of lamination (8.707%) is recorded at the cup curling (the concave area) with the first method compared to the maximum value of lamination (5.822%) recorded at the cup curling (the concave area) with the second method because of this exposure to the highest concentration of stresses. The best distribution of thickness, strains, and stresses when producing a star shape by

To research the load upper bracket of Francis hydroelectric unit, then established the finite-element model, and analyzed the structure stress of 7 operating condition points with the ANSYS software. By the strain rosette test, acquired the data of stress-strain in the area of stress concentration of the upper bracket. The inaccuracy was considered below 5% by analyzing the contradistinction between the finite-element analysis and the test, and match the engineering precision and the test was reliable. The finite-element method could be used to judge the stress of the upper bracket, and it could provide reference for the Structural optimization and improvement too.

The finite element model of the space KX-Joint was established using ANSYS software, and the failure mode and ultimate bearing capacity of KX-joint were researched. Calculation results show that the surface of chord wall on the roots of compression web members was into the plastic in K plane, and the holding pole without the plastic area and the local buckling failure happened in the surface of chord wall on the roots of Compression Web Members in X plane; The bearing capacity of the joint increased with the Chord diameter, which was appears in the form of power function.

The natural frequencies of circular saws limit the operating speeds of the saws. Current industry methods of increasing natural frequency include pretensioning, where plastic deformation is induced into the saw. To better model the saw, the finite element model is compared to current software for steel saws; C-SAW, a software program that calculates frequencies for stiffened circular saws. Using C-SAW and the finite element method the results are compared and the finite element method is validated for steel saws.

The finite element modeling is established for reinforced concrete(RC) beam reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) using the serial/parallel mixing theory. The mixture algorithm of serial/parallel rule is studied based on the finite element method. The results obtained from the finite element simulation are compared with the experimental data. The comparisons are made for load-deflection curves at mid-span. The numerical analysis results agree well with the experimental results. Numerical results indicate that the proposed procedure is validity.

Based on modal strain energy method, the paper discusses viscoelastic free layer damping sheet, establishes the finite element model of it and obtains the natural frequencies and loss factor. Then the paper calculates the loss factor of viscoelastic free layer damping structure with engineering empirical formula, and compares the result with that obtained by finite element method. By comparing the two results, it indicates that the finite element method is effective in analyzing this kind of problems.

Most of the pipelines will get aging year after year and then they will need to be rehabilitated. Because of the heavy traffic on the ground or the congested pipelines under the ground, the replacement of old pipes will be very difficult in the cities. The dig-free (trenchless) method is a revolutionary pipelining method which uses air pressure, hydraulic pressure or mechanical drag force to pull the flexible piping plastic sheet into the old pipe. This research proposes a stress analysis for trenchless pipeline method by the finite element model with CATIA. The material of piping sheet is combined of two different types of epoxy with the anionic harder. We do the stress analysis of the trenchless rehabilitated pipelines to decide the optimal thickness of flexible piping plastic sheet and whether the material is available or not by finite element method.
