Making field test and finite element simulation on East Third Ring Road Xiaobawang footbridge in Beijing, considering the effect of the deck loads of the bridge on the model calculation results, we can find the effect of the secondary dead load on vibration characteristics of the footbridge model. Comparison of the frequencies of model before and after applying the secondary dead load make us know that applying dead load will lead to the lower frequency of bridge. In the process of the bridge finite element analysis, factors to consider should be more comprehensive and the way to simulation should be more realistic so that the results of finite element simulation can be closer to the actual.

This paper investigates the finite element simulation to predict the creep response of Wood/PVC (WPVC) composite members before and after strengthening by using high carbon steel (HCS) flat bar strip adhered to the tension side. The creep parameters based on power law models of WPVC composites and the HCS flat bars were determined experimentally. Then, the nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) software of ABAQUS was applied to predict the creep behaviors of composite members using the obtained experimentally creep parameters of individual component of WPVC composites and HCS flat bars. Good correlation between finite element simulation and experimental results are obtained for all cases. ABAQUS software with power law creep model show good potential for prediction the creep response of WPVC composites before and after strengthening.

Finite element simulation of stable fatigue crack growth using critical crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) was done. In the preliminary finite element simulation without crack growth, the critical CTOD was determined by monitoring the ratio between the displacement increments at the nodes above the crack tip and behind the crack tip in the neighborhood of the crack tip. The critical CTOD was determined as the vertical displacement at the node on the crack surface just behind the crack tip at the maximum ratio. In the main finite element simulation with crack growth, the crack growth rate with respect to the effective stress intensity factor range considering crack closure yielded more consistent result. The exponents m in the Paris law were determined.

This paper deals with experimental and finite element analysis of the stretch flanging process using AA- 5052 sheets of 0.5 mm thick. A parametrical study has been done through finite element simulation to inspect the influence of procedural parametrical properties on maximum thinning (%) within the stretch flanging process. The influence of preliminary flange length of sheet metal blank, punch die clearance, and width was examined on the maximum thinning (%). An explicit dynamic finite element method was utilized using the finite element commercial package ABAQUS. Strain measurement was done after conducting stretch flanging tests. A Mesh convergence examination was carried out to ascertain the maximum percentage accuracy in FEM model. It is found through finite element simulation that the width of sheet metal blanks has a greater impact on the maximum percentage of thinning as compared to preliminary flange length, and clearance of the punch dies.

In this study, we evaluated the effect of changing supports’ position on the vibration characteristics of a three-support flexible rotor shafting. This dependency was first analyzed using a finite element simulation and then backed up with experimental investigations. By computing a simplified rotor shafting model, we found that the first-order bending vibration in a forward whirl mode is the most relevant deforming mode. Hence, the effect of the supports’ positions on this vibration was intensively investigated using simulations and verified experimentally with a house-made shafting rotor system. The results demonstrated that the interaction between different supports can influence the overall vibration deformation and that the position of the support closer to the rotor has the greatest influence.

There are lots of titanium alloy parts which have large-scale micro-structures in astronautic structure and medical implants, so the micro milling becomes one of the effective processing methods in getting the surface micro-structure. Because the titanium alloy has high caking property in processing, it needs a research on the cutting heat and force in order to get better machining precision and surface quality. According to the finite element theory in elastic and plasticity, the influence of cutting speed to the cutting heat and force is got by finite element simulation analysis to the titanium material TC4 in cutting process. It can get the simulation results of cutting heat and force in the micro milling processing by finite element analysis, and then compared, the basic influence which the cutting speed to the cutting heat and force is got. The correctness of the result is checked through cutting experiments.

The static and dynamic characteristics of the rubber mounts for vibration isolation in automotive powertrains and other dynamic systems should be predicted during their design and development stage. In this paper, the static characteristic simulation of a rubber mount is performed using the finite element method. The modelling and simulation methods for a large deformation rubber spring represented by axisymmetric, quarter-symmetric and three-dimensional finite element models are investigated by using finite element analysis software PATRAN for meshing and ABAQUS and ADINA for computations. The predicted vertical static elastic characteristics of the rubber spring agree well with the experimental results. The static strain-stress analysis of the rubber part shows that the von Mises stress can be adopted as a stress measure for the rubber material. Moreover, the modelling methods for the large deformation rubber mount are investigated with numerical tests of elastic characteristics. The hybrid elements with full integration and lower-order interpolation show less distortion and are suitable for large deformation simulation computations. The research results will help engineers and researchers to perform engineering design and analysis of rubber mounts and other vibration reduction rubber components using the finite element simulation method.
