The dynamic performance of the worktable has a great influence on machining quality. In order to improve the machining precision, the paper conducts the analysis and research on the workability of a numerical control engine bed rotary worktable from a domestic machine tool factory，and discusses the influence of dynamic characteristics of rotary worktable on the precision of numerical control processing. Firstly Ansys finite element analysis was employed to analyze and simulate the modality and natural frequency of the numerical control rotary worktable under various steps. And then, a vibration test on the numerical control rotary worktable to confirm accuracy of the simulation parameters was carried on. Finally a contrast was made between the theoretical analysis and the experimental analysis to point out the resonance frequency and the distortion of the rotary worktable. Also the influence of numerical control rotary worktable on the numerical control processing was discussed.

Springback Prediction

Press brake air bending, a process of obtaining products by sheet metal forming, can be considered at first sight a simple geometric problem. However the accuracy of the obtained geometries involves the combination of multiple parameters directly associated with the tools and the processing parameters, as well as with the sheet metal materials and dimensions. The main topic herein presented deals with the capability of predicting the punch displacement process parameter that enables the product to be accurately shaped to a desired bending angle, in press brake air bending. In our approach, it is considered separately the forming process and the elastic recovery (i.e. the springback effect). Current solutions in press brake numerical control (computer numerical control) are normally configured by analytical models developed from geometrical analysis and including correcting factors. In our approach, it is proposed to combine the use of a learning tool, artificial neural networks, with a simulation and data generation tool (finite element analysis). This combination enables modeling the complex nonlinear behavior of the forming process and springback effect, including the validation of results obtained. A developed model taking into account different process parameters and tool geometries allow extending the range of applications with practical interest in industry. The final solution is compatible with its incorporation in a computer numerical control press brake controller. It was concluded that, using this methodology, it is possible to predict efficient and accurate final geometries after bending, being also a step forward to a “first time right” solution. In addition, the developed models, methodologies and obtained results were validated by comparison with experimental tests.

We present an improved flexure linkage design for removing underconstraint in a double parallelogram (DP) linear flexural mechanism. This new linkage alleviates many of the problems associated with current linkage design solutions such as static and dynamic performance losses and increased footprint. The improvements of the new linkage design will enable wider adoption of underconstraint eliminating (UE) linkages, especially in the design of linear flexural bearings. Comparisons are provided between the new linkage design and existing UE designs over a range of features including footprint, dynamics, and kinematics. A nested linkage design is shown through finite element analysis (FEA) and experimental measurement to work as predicted in selectively eliminating the underconstrained degrees-of-freedom (DOF) in DP linear flexure bearings. The improved bearing shows an 11 × gain in the resonance frequency and 134× gain in static stiffness of the underconstrained DOF, as designed. Analytical expressions are presented for designers to calculate the linear performance of the nested UE linkage (average error < 5%). The concept presented in this paper is extended to an analogous double-nested rotary flexure design.

The Finite Element Analysis

In this study, the change of the natural frequencies in mouse femurs with osteoporosis was investigated based on a vibration test and a finite element. Three groups of the femurs include the osteoporotic group, the treated group and the normal group. In the vibration test, the natural frequencies were measured by the mobility test. For the finite element analysis, the micro finite element model of the femur was reconstructed using the Micro-CT images and the Voxel mesh generation algorithm. From the results, the averaged natural frequencies in the osteoporotic group were the highest, followed by those in the treated group. The finite element models were validated within 15% errors by comparing the natural frequencies in the finite element analysis with those in the vibration test. The developed Micro-CT system, the Voxel mesh generation algorithm, the presented finite element analysis, and vibration test could be useful for the investigation of the structural change of the bone tissue, and the diagnosis and the treatment in the osteoporosis.

Abstract Thermal-mechanical properties of tire cords have a great influence on tire dimension, shape, handling, and other performance related issues. This study focuses on characterizing the material properties for polymeric cords and quantifying their effects on pneumatic tires using finite element analysis (FEA). Various tire cord materials, including nylon and polyester, were characterized by obtaining a series of thermal-mechanical properties in the laboratory using tensile testing, thermal shrinkage measurement and creep testing. Prior to obtaining these laboratory measurements, cords in this study were subjected to thermal-mechanical pre-treatments to simulate the effects of curing and tire operating conditions. The properties derived from these measurements were used as input properties for a finite element analysis of a physical tire. Predictions of tire dimensions and shape, loaded footprint and pressure and cord loads were obtained from the FEA model and compared to measured values of the experimental tire. Good agreement was observed between the measured values and those predicted from the finite element analysis; therefore, future FEA studies of pneumatic tires should utilize the techniques developed in this study to characterize tire cord materials.
