This paper addresses the modeling and prediction of the normal holding force in an electromagnetic chuck used in precision machining applications. Knowledge of the normal holding force is necessary to determine if a given chuck is capable of preventing workpiece slip during machining. First, an analytic model termed the magnetic circuit model was developed and compared with experimental holding force data. It was found that this model, although simple in form, was limited in its ability to accurately predict the holding force over the entire range of conditions investigated. The discrepancies in the model were attributed to its inability to accurately model the leakage flux and nonuniform distribution of the magnetic flux. A three-dimensional finite element model was then developed to overcome these limitations. Predictions with this model were found to be in better agreement with experiments, yielding prediction errors within 25 percent in most cases. The finite element model also provided an explanation for the observed decrease in the measured holding force at current values beyond a certain threshold. [S1087-1357(00)01503-3]

The process of multi-wedge cross wedge rolling is an advanced precision technology for forming long shaft parts such as automobile semi-axes. Three-dimensional solid model and the finite element model of semi-axes on automobile and dies of its cross wedge rolling were established. The process of cross wedge rolling was simulated according to the actual dimension of semi-axes on automobile utilizing the finite element method (FEM)software ANSYS/LS-DYNA. The required force parameters for designing semi-axes mill are determined. The appropriate roller width was determined according to the length and diameter of semi-axes on automobile. The results have provided the basis for the design of specific structure of automobile semi-axes cross wedge rolling mill.

In this study, non-destructive tests and laboratory tests were carried out in order to determine the material properties in Iznik Yeşil Mosque, Iznik District, Bursa Province. For the purpose of determining the soil characteristics of the building, the soil survey studies conducted in the Iznik Yeşil Mosque area were investigated. The finite element model was formed by making a three dimensional model study of the structure. With the finite element model, static analysis, modal analysis and behavioral spectrum analysis were performed under vertical loads in order to collect data for the damaged areas of the structure.

A non-linear finite element model was developed for three dimensional soil cutting by tillage tools. A hyperbolic constitutive relation for soil was used in the model. Analysis was carried out to simulate soil cutting with rectangular flat and triangular tillage blades at different rake angles and with curved blades. Interface elements were used to model the adhesion and the friction between soil and blade surface. Soil forces obtained from the finite element model for the straight blades were verified with the results from laboratory tillage tests in the soil bin. The finite element model predicted draft force accurately for both tillage tools. Results indicated that the draft was a function of rake angle, tool shape and the curvature.

Local high temperature, stress concentration, and abnormal friction coefficients will appear at the friction pair in a wet clutch as a result of surface topography real-time changing. In order to improve the reliability of clutch friction components and reduce the failure phenomenon, the three-dimensional fractal surface topography data of the actual rough surface asperities are scanned, extracted, and processed successively, and then the finite element model of the rotary sliding friction pair is established considering the micro surface topography. Based on the finite element model, the variation of surface stress and strain is analyzed, and the friction coefficient measured experimentally is taken as the model input. It is concluded that when the rough surface and smooth surface make contact with each other, the maximum stress and plastic strain appear at the inner radius edge. Therefore, this research has a guiding significance for the structural design and processing technology of the friction components in a vehicle clutch.

Inward buckling forces of spiral wound flexible gaskets is studied experimentally and analytically using the finite element method. A series of experiments was conducted utilizing an NPS 16 Class 300 weld-neck pipe and flange conforming to specification ASME B16.5. Strain gauges were mounted on the inner and outer metallic rings of the spiral wound sealing gasket and strain data was recorded during initial bolt pre-loading. Using this particular experiment as a pattern, a finite element model was developed to simulate the flange, bolt, and nonlinear gasket response under identical loading conditions. The computer-generated solid model consists of a quarter-symmetry, three-dimensional assembly constructed to the specifications of the pipe, flange, bolts, and gaskets used in the hardware trials. The finite element model was loaded to simulate the initial bolt pre-loading through the same range as in the original experiment. Solutions obtained from the finite element model are compared with the experimental results, and conclusions are drawn.
