Abstract A finite element model was developed to simulate the tire-rim interface. Elastomers were modeled by nonlinear incompressible elements, whereas plies were simulated by cord-rubber composite elements. Gap elements were used to simulate the opening between tire and rim at zero inflation pressure. This opening closed when the inflation pressure was increased gradually. The predicted distribution of contact pressure at the tire-rim interface agreed very well with the available experimental measurements. Several variations of the tire-rim interference fit were analyzed.

Objective: To study the cutting mechanism of hardened 45 steel (45HRC), and improve the processing efficiency and quality.

Background:: Particle Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites (PRMMCs) are widely used because of the higher specific strength, better dimensional stability, lower thermal expansion coefficient, better wear and corrosion resistance. However, the existence of reinforcing particles makes it hard to machine. The main manifestations are as follows: severe tool wear, easy generation of debris tumors in processing, and many defects on the machined surface, etc. These seriously limit its wider application. The Finite Element Method (FEM) has been widely applied in the research of PRMMCs machining according to recent patents, which can improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of research. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a deep research for the processing technology of PRMMCs. Methods:: In this paper, the latest research progress of finite element simulation of cutting PRMMCs was summarized. The key technologies of finite element simulation, including constitutive model, geometric model, friction model between chip and tool, fracture criterion and mesh generation, are comprehensively analyzed and summarized. The application in the specific processing methods was discussed, such as turning, milling, grinding, ultrasonic vibration grinding and drilling. The existing problems and development direction of the simulation of PRMMCs cutting are also given. Besides, a lot of patents on finite element simulation for PRMMCs machining were studied. Results:: Finite element model for the actual composition determines the accuracy of finite element simulation. Through the secondary development of finite element software, a more realistic finite element model of Particle reinforced metal matrix composites can be established. Conclusion:: Finite Element Method (FEM) provides a new approach for the study of mechanism of Particle reinforced metal matrix composites machining. Quantitative analysis and prediction of micro- details in cutting can be realized.

This paper introduces a combination of testing and finite element simulation for the abnormal vibration of a truck cab in specific speed. Vibration characteristics of the truck is tested. The factors that caused the abnormal vibration of the truck is found. The finite element model is established and the modal analysis is performed, the correctness of the test results is verified, and a reliable finite element model for the follow-up solution is provided. The abnormal vibration was caused by the frequencies of radial force variation which almost equal to the truck natural frequency under the vehicle velocities of 50km/h. The approach described in this paper can be applied to similar vibration problem diagnosis.

This study presents the experimental characterization and finite element investigation of a piezoelectric nanogenerator based on electrospun poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) nanofibers walking energy harvesting applications. The piezoelectric response of nanogenerator device was experimentally evaluated under low frequency cyclic impacts using PiezoTester. The impact test was then simulated and the obtained experimental applied force-time curve is implemented into the finite element model as the impactor external force. Based on mentioned procedure, a novel iterative finite element simulation was then introduced to determine the piezoelectric properties of PVDF nanofibers to avoid any redundant experiments. The experimental voltage-time was compared with voltage time obtained from optimized finite element model and a reasonable agreement was achieved between the numerical and experimental curves. Thereinafter, as a case study, a PVDF nanofibers nanogenerator integrated foam (PNIF) was simulated to use as an energy harvester in the shoe insole. The validated finite element model was then constructed to optimize the PNIF elasticity modulus to reach the maximum efficiency of energy harvester during human walking. The results showed that the best efficiency of the energy harvesting is achieved for 211.27 kPa PNIF modulus, which can generate 15.1 V. These results lead to the establishment of engineering design rules in the industrial scale for wearable power harvesting devices in the footwear industry.

The Finite Element Model

In this paper, we present the results of the temperature measurements performed on topology optimized polysilicon microgrippers using Raman spectroscopy. The results reveal that the temperature profile along the actuators is in correspondence with the finite element simulation results presented in [1] except an offset of ∼250 °C due to chip heating. In order to predict this behavior, we included a section of the carrier chip into the finite element model. We also fabricated new devices with wider electrodes to reduce the overall Joule heating. Both finite element simulations and experimental results show that the devices with a wider electrodes design lead to a temperature drop of ∼50 °C as compared to the devices with the previous electrode design.
