This work concerns the modelling and numerical simulation of specific thick sheet cutting process using advanced constitutive equations accounting for elasto-plasticity with mixed hardening fully coupled with isotropic ductile damage. First, the complex kinematics of the different tools is modelled with specific boundary conditions. Second, the fully and strongly coupled constitutive equations are summarized and the associated numerical aspects are shortly presented. An inverse material identification procedure is used to determine the convenient values of the material parameters. Finally, the double slitting process is numerically simulated and the influence of the main technological parameters studied focusing on the cutting forces.

A description is given of a computer program for investigating the performance of the external gear pumps under varying conditions with the special emphasis on the examination of pressure distributions within the pump, i.e. excitation forces for the vibration of the pump case and the variation in flow generated by the pump. Measurements are presented for the variation with time of tooth space pressure and the results are compared with the theoretical predictions from the computer program.

Abstract In a previous paper the author proposed a method to reduce the periodic variation in flow rate for an external gear pump. To verify the experimental results, a series of experimental tests on a expressly realized gear pump, was carried out. The pump was equipped with relieving grooves milled into the side plates. The tests were done on a closed piping specifically realized and equipped for measuring the instantaneous flow rate of the fluid through a wedge-shaped hot film probe.

There exist three major problems in current gear pumps. They are unbalanced radial force, big excessive flow pulsation and short working life. In order to solve the problems above, a new type of gear pump with flexible ring gear is introduced. Pumping action is achieved through meshing between a flexible ring gear and a rigid external gear. Thus radial pressure forces are hydraulically balanced and the volumetric displacement is doubled for the new pump.

Aimed at solving the problems of radial fluid pressure imbalance, bigger flow ripple and shorter service life that exists in traditional gear pumps, a new type of gear pump based on the principle of harmonic gear drive is put forth, where the function for pumping fluid is achieved by mutual engagement between flexible gear and rigid gear. The structural composition, principle and features of the new gear pump are described in this article. The new pump has two higher pressure cavities arranged symmetrically, which counteracts the fluid pressure and the pump could work longer. Its displacement is two times that of the conventional gear pump and the total discharge is bigger. Flow pulsation, vibration and noise in the new pump are evidently diminished, which make the operation smooth. The new gear pump has superiority in performance and could guide the development in gear pump technology.

Abstract Turbomachinery plays a key role in process and manufacturing industries. The interplay between power, flow rates and pressure output remain an interesting research area. To support specific processes in the industry, each pump or compressor must be fine-tuned for peak performance. As trend shifts from large organizations to entrepreneurial startups, spending significant costs on licensing of commercially available CFD softwares becomes unfeasible. This paper investigates the use of OpenFOAM – open source CFD package towards the analysis of gear pumps. The solution employs dynamic meshing and snappyHexMesh library in a single study. To validate the numerical model developed under OpenFoam’s environment, experimental studies were carried out. The pressure output of the pump was measured at four different RPMs — 200, 250, 300 and 400. An excellent agreement between experimental and numerical studies was seen at relatively higher RPMs. The numerical studies further explored the pulsating flow, recorded the variation between a constant maximum and minimum pressure value for each RPM. The variation in pressure was observed to increase at higher RPMs. The agreement between experimental and numerical findings established the utility of OpenFoam in investigating pump action.

Abstract Currently, most performance curves of gear pumps present volumetric efficiency as a function of one or more operating conditions. However, the nature of gear pumps is that volumetric efficiency is dependent on pump speed, pump pressure rise, and fluid viscosity. This dependency on multiple parameters impedes direct comparisons between pumps tested at disparate operating conditions or on different testbeds. A new method has been developed that formulates the volumetric efficiency as a function of a single parameter that captures pump speed, pressure, and fluid viscosity. The characteristics of the pump is then captured by curve fitting two constants to empirical data. This method allows extrapolation of pump performance beyond empirical data and direct comparison of the volumetric efficiency curves of two pumps tested under disparate conditions within a single plot. This work describes the analytical derivation of the methodology and the empirical data used for validations. Additionally, several possible applications of this method are presented.

In order to reduce the noise level of wheel loaders caused by gear pumps and realize environmentally sustainable development, the noise generation mechanism of a gear pump was studied, and the influence of flow pulsation and gear impact on noise was analyzed. In order to reduce the interference of other noise sources on the noise level of the gear pump, a noise test rig was established. The mixed noise signals obtained from the rig test were separated using the ICA model. The ICA model includes the following algorithms: The fast Fourier transform (FFT), independent component analysis (ICA) and inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT). Some theories about the influence of the teeth number and teeth profile on noise were analyzed by theory and simulation. A noise reduction strategy was proposed by increasing the teeth numbers and modifying the teeth profile of the gear pump. The tests results showed that the noise values of the external and the driver’s ear of the wheel loader were reduced to 1 and 2.2 dB (A), respectively. This proves the effectiveness of the optimization scheme of gear pump noise reduction.
