It is necessary to analyze the structural strength of the moving arm and make some optimization designs to reduce its weight. According to the actual structural sizes of the moving arm of a loader, we build its 3D mathematical model by bottom-to-up modeling method in ANSYS. Having considered bearing actual loads and displacement constraint conditions of a moving arm in actual working situations, we got the stress distribution rules and the destructible locations of the moving arm in a working cycle after analyzing the strengths of the moving arm in six different typical kinds of working conditions. Based on this, we made the design module and the structural optimization designs of the moving arm by using first-order method based on the objective function's sensitive degree to design variables in ANSYS software. The results of the study suggest that the maximum equivalent effective stresses in six different typical kinds of working conditions are all less than the admissible stress of the material of the moving arm, and the maximum bearing stress exists in the working condition with bearing unbalance loadings in horizontal and vertical directions. The advantage of the optimization design is outstanding with the 67% less of the maximum equivalent stress of the moving arm and 15.4% less of the volume.

Based on the actual parameters of the capacitor energy storage cabinet on the top of the monorail train, built the cabinet’s finite element model. Then, according to EN 12663-1, set the calibration conditions and fatigue working conditions. Carried out the simulation calculation under different conditions, respectively. The calculation results under the static calibration conditions show that the maximum equivalent stress of each node on the model is smaller than the allowable stress under all working conditions. Therefore, the static strength of the cabinet meets the design requirements. Plotted Goodman fatigue limit diagrams of the cabinet’s base metal and weld and modified them in the Smith form. Then plotted the average stress and stress amplitude under fatigue working conditions in the corresponding scatter diagram. The diagram s show that all points are located within the permitted area. The results show that the fatigue strength of the cabinet meets the requirements of design and use.

Cylinder shell stiffened by rings is used commonly in submersibles, and structure strength should be verified in the initial design stage considering the thickness of the shell, the number of rings, the shape of ring section and so on. Based on the statistical techniques, a strategy for optimization design of pressure hull is proposed in this paper. Its central idea is that: firstly the design variables are chosen by referring criterion for structure strength, then the samples for analysis are created in the design space; secondly finite element models corresponding to the samples are built and analyzed; thirdly the approximations of these analysis are constructed using these samples and responses obtained by finite element model; finally optimization design result is obtained using response surface model. The result shows that this method that can improve the efficiency and achieve optimal intention has valuable reference information for engineering application.

The problem is solved that it is hard to provide analysis formulas about the maximum equivalent stress, the maximum shear stress and the structural geometric parameters for a ship. The finite element calculation is done with orthogonal experimental design under the most dangerous case. The data obtained are used as the training and test samples to establish BP neural network models of ship’s maximum equivalent stress and maximum shear stress. With the aid of Neural network toolbox in MATLAB, the topological structure of BP neural network mapping relationship between the whole ship performance indexes and design variables is established. The training and testing are completed with the data tested by the shipyard and the correctness of this network is verified. The neural network required for further optimization design is obtained. The neural network is helpful in reducing the ship mass without exceeding the allowable stress.

Firstly, the force of an extrusion roller under actual working condition was analyzed while the contact stress between the roller shaft and the roller sleeve and the extrusion force between the roller sleeve and the material were calculated. Secondly, static analysis of the extrusion roller was carried out using ANSYS software, and conclusively, the stress concentration appears at the roller sleeve’s inner ring step. Furthermore, an optimization scheme of the setting transition arc at the step of the contact surface between roller shaft and roller sleeve was proposed, and a simulation test was carried out., Finally, the maximum equivalent stress of the extrusion roller was set at the minimum value of the objective function; the extrusion roller was further optimized by using the direct optimization module in ANSYS Workbench. The results from optimization show that the maximum equivalent stress is reduced by 29% and the maximum deformation is decreased by 28%. It can be seen that the optimization scheme meets the strength and deformation requirements of the extrusion roller design. The optimization scheme can effectively improve the bearing capacity of the extrusion roller and reduce its production cost. This can provide a reference for the design of the roller press.

Abstract Due to the combined effects of natural and human factors, the ground subsidence is aggravated, which brings potential hazards to the normal operation of buried polyethylene (PE) pipelines. A variety of variables influences the safety of buried pipelines, while the existing research lacks detailed analysis on the issue. A finite element model of buried PE pipeline was developed to analyze how various factors affected the strength of PE pipeline under ground subsidence. Furthermore, the orthogonal test combined with the gray correlation degree was used to analyze the significance of each influencing factor. The results show that (1) the strain rate of the pipe is different at different ground subsidence rates, and the maximum equivalent stress of the pipe increases with the increase of the strain rate; (2) the maximum equivalent stress diminishes with the increasing wall thickness of the pipeline and the length of the transition section; and (3) the factor that has the most significant influence on the maximum equivalent stress of the pipeline is the settlement, followed by the strain rate and the length of the transition section. The internal pressure has the least influence on the maximum equivalent stress in the context of ground subsidence induced stresses.
