Many researchers applied creepage to calculating creep force, but relation between creepage and creep force are very complex and it has been a major problem for solving rolling contact theory. The paper uses the finite element method for studying directly creep forces and apply it to the studies of wheel-rail rolling contact. Paper establishes the finite element model of wheel-rail rolling contact based on ALE method in ABAQUS, and simulated unsteady state of wheel-rail rolling contact and research normal force of wheel-rail contact pitch. Results show that the normal maximum pressure in left wheel have a trend toward the center of contact pitch and the normal maximum pressure in right wheel have a trend toward the other center of contact pitch with increasement of displacement

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.

The process of multi-wedge cross wedge rolling is an advanced precision technology for forming long shaft parts such as automobile semi-axes. Three-dimensional solid model and the finite element model of semi-axes on automobile and dies of its cross wedge rolling were established. The process of cross wedge rolling was simulated according to the actual dimension of semi-axes on automobile utilizing the finite element method (FEM)software ANSYS/LS-DYNA. The required force parameters for designing semi-axes mill are determined. The appropriate roller width was determined according to the length and diameter of semi-axes on automobile. The results have provided the basis for the design of specific structure of automobile semi-axes cross wedge rolling mill.

The Finite Element Model

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.

Inward buckling forces of spiral wound flexible gaskets is studied experimentally and analytically using the finite element method. A series of experiments was conducted utilizing an NPS 16 Class 300 weld-neck pipe and flange conforming to specification ASME B16.5. Strain gauges were mounted on the inner and outer metallic rings of the spiral wound sealing gasket and strain data was recorded during initial bolt pre-loading. Using this particular experiment as a pattern, a finite element model was developed to simulate the flange, bolt, and nonlinear gasket response under identical loading conditions. The computer-generated solid model consists of a quarter-symmetry, three-dimensional assembly constructed to the specifications of the pipe, flange, bolts, and gaskets used in the hardware trials. The finite element model was loaded to simulate the initial bolt pre-loading through the same range as in the original experiment. Solutions obtained from the finite element model are compared with the experimental results, and conclusions are drawn.

The finite element method was used to analyze the bubble in the ship wake. The single bubble model in the ship wake was created and studied after the material property parameters of the bubble were got by the finite element computation. The finite element model was then analyzed by SYSNOISE. From the analyzing, the displacement of the point on the surface of the bubble was gained when the sound press changing as the frequency varies; the distribution of the pressure was displayed when the frequency of the sound is equal to the resonant frequency of the bubble.

The finite element method is a popular numerical method in engineering applications. However, there is not enough research about the finite element method in underwater sound propagation. The finite element method can achieve high accuracy and great universality. We aim to develop a three-dimensional finite element model focusing on underwater sound propagation. As the foundation of this research, we put forward a finite element model in the Cartesian coordinate system for a sound field in a two-dimensional environment. We firstly introduce the details of the implementation of the finite element model, as well as different methods to deal with boundary conditions and a comparison of these methods. Then, we use four-node quadrilateral elements to discretize the physical domain, and apply the perfectly matched layer approach to deal with the infinite region. After that, we apply the model to underwater sound propagation problems including the wedge-shaped waveguide benchmark problem and the problem where the bathymetry consists of a sloping region and a flat region. The results by the presented finite element model are in excellent agreement with analytical and benchmark numerical solutions, implying that the presented finite element model is able to solve complex two-dimensional underwater sound propagation problems accurately. In the end, we compare the finite element model with the popular normal mode model KRAKEN by calculating sound fields in Pekeris waveguides, and find that the finite element model has better universality than KRAKEN.
