When machining aerospace monolithic components, most of materials could be removed, resulting in severe deformation of the parts due to the release and redistribution of the blank’s original residual stress, together with the action of cutting loads and clamping force. A finite element model (FEM) is built for predicting the deformation caused by those factors mentioned above. In this model, some key techniques such as material properties, initial residual stress model, and application of dynamic cutting loads and transformation of boundary condition are discussed in details. The proposed model predicts the machining deformation for multi-frame monolithic components. Particular attention is paid to the influence of the bulkhead processing sequence on part deformation. At last the paper puts forwards optimal bulkhead processing sequence based on minimizing the machining deformation.

When machining aerospace monolithic components, a severe deformation can be observed due to the release and redistribution of the original residual stresses, together with the action of cutting loads and clamping force. In this paper, a finite element model predicting machining deformation was developed considering the above mentioned multi-factors coupling effects. Based on the model, the effect of process routing on machining deformation for multi-frame double sided monolithic components was studied. To validate the FE model, true frame components were machined and deformations were measured on a Coordinate Measuring Machine. The result revealed that the prediction model is credible. At last the paper puts forwards optimal process routing based on minimizing the machining deformation.

Abstract A finite element model is presented for analysis of axisymmetric static loadings of a bias ply pneumatic tire. The model can predict deformed shapes and the resulting cord forces in the tire. The tire is considered as a thin shell of revolution with membrane and bending stiffness. Its material properties are assumed to be linearly orthotropic. Large axisymmetric deformations studied with the proposed model gave very close approximations to the actual situation. The predicted cord forces matched the experimental values very closely.

In a curing process, there is an intensive residual stress in a cylinder with a reinforced part wrapped by hybrid composite due to the kinds of fibers and mismatch material properties. The development of residual stress in the cylinder is investigated by a finite element model combing with the classical laminate theory and heat conduction. The level of residual stress at the ends of reinforced part is higher than else location, a cure cycle with a lower cure temperature would reduce the residual stress. An improved cure cycle is proposed by comparing the simulational results of the cylinder cured with different cure cycle.

Aerospace thin-walled rings are vulnerable to machining distortion during the manufacturing process. Various research results show that the main factor causing machining deformation is initial residual stress inside the blank. In this study, the residual stress of a 2219 aluminum alloy ultra-large rolling ring was measured by using the indentation strain-gauge method. Results showed the maximum residual maximum principal stress was +265 MPa and stress distribution was uneven. To homogenize the initial residual stress of the ring, an expansion method is proposed based on the principle of pre-stretching plate, and the feasibility of the expansion method was analyzed by establishing a simplified theoretical model of ring. A FE (Finite Element) model was established to investigate residual-stress evolution during the rolling ring and the expanding ring process. The expansion simulation results show that the reduction rates of residual stress were greater than 40% and the maximum residual stress was only 65 MPa.

Holistic thin-walled parts are common structural parts of modern aircraft to reduce the weight and increase the stiffness. Over 90% of the materials are removed from the blank, as a result, large machining deformations occur to the parts, which causes the manufacturing discrepancies and even the scrap parts. In this paper, numerical simulation models are established to predict the machining deformation of two typical aviation thin-walled parts. The blank initial and machining induced residual stresses, as well as the cutting parameters, are considered in the model. The deformations and stresses after machining are calculated using the proposed model, and the deformation and stress distributions are analyzed.
