Resistant Structure

This article investigated a new metallic leading edge bird strike resistant structure, using corrugate board as its enhanced component to absorb more bird kinetic energy. This structure was called as Corrugate Board Leading Edge (CBLE) structure. To verify the structure’s bird strike resistant ability, numerical simulation based on the LS-DYNA was carried out, and succeeding experiments were performed. However, the experimental results were not exciting. They were not as the simulation results we expected. The reasons were analyzed through this article. Finally a rivet-relative model was created considering the influence of riveting. This model was proved to be accurate by comparing with experimental results. Based on the analysis above, an Optimized CBLE (O-CBLE) structure was used to optimize the bird strike resistant ability, the energy absorption rate of O-CBLE structure increased 11.4% while the structural quality was only slightly increased.

Interface Behavior

This paper presents the application of an adaptive stencil diffuse interface method to the simulation of dam break problem. The adaptive stencil diffuse interface method is the combination of the diffuse interface method and a stencil adaptive algorithm, where the diffuse interface method is used as the solver, and the adaptive stencil refinement scheme is applied to improve the resolution around the interface so that the fine-scale interface behavior can be captured. In this paper, we use this method to simulate the dam break problem, study the dam height and leading edge position, and compare our results with the experiment data available in the literature. It is shown that the results using the adaptive stencil diffuse interface method agree very well with the experimental results.

A series of numerical simulations utilizing LS-DYNA was performed to determine the mid-point deformations of V-shaped plates due to blast loading. The numerical simulation results were then compared with experimental results from published literature. The V-shaped plate is made of DOMEX 700 and is used underneath an armour personal carrier vehicle as an anti-tank mine to mitigate the effects of explosion from landmines in a battlefield. The performed numerical simulations of blast loading of V-shaped plates consisted of various angles i.e. 60°, 90°, 120°, 150° and 180°; variable mass of explosives located at the central mid-point of the V-shaped vertex with various stand-off distances. It could be seen that the numerical simulations produced good agreement with the experimental results where the average difference was about 26.6%.

This paper presents a micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS)-based integrated triaxial electrochemical seismometer, which can detect three-dimensional vibration. By integrating three axes, the integrated triaxial electrochemical seismometer is characterized by small volume and high symmetry. The numerical simulation results inferred that the integrated triaxial electrochemical seismometer had excellent independence among three axes. Based on the experimental results, the integrated triaxial electrochemical seismometer had the advantage of small axial crosstalk and could detect vibration in arbitrary directions. Furthermore, compared with the uniaxial electrochemical seismometer, the integrated triaxial electrochemical seismometer had similar sensitivity curves ranging from 0.01 to 100 Hz. In terms of random ground motion response, high consistencies between the developed integrated triaxial electrochemical seismometer and the uniaxial electrochemical seismometer could be easily observed, which indicated that the developed integrated triaxial electrochemical seismometer produced comparable noise levels to those of the uniaxial electrochemical seismometer. These results validated the performance of the integrated triaxial electrochemical seismometer, which has a good prospect in the field of deep geophysical exploration and submarine seismic monitoring.

Simulation Results

In this paper, a computational fluid dynamics–discrete element method (CFD–DEM) coupling method is established to simulate the starch granule injection by coupling CFD and DEM. Then a gas–solid two-phase pulsed jet system is designed to capture the flow field trajectory of particle injection (colored starch with a mean diameter of 10.67 [Formula: see text]m), and the image is processed by color moment and histogram. Finally, the simulation results are compared with the experimental results, and the following conclusions are drawn. The numerical simulation results show that with the increase of injection pressure, the injection height increases gradually. When the injection pressure reaches above 0.4 MPa, the increase of injection height decreases. The experimental images show that the larger the pressure (i.e., the greater the initial velocity), the faster the velocity of particle distribution in the space, and the injection heights with the injection pressures of 0.4 MPa and 0.5 MPa are close, which is consistent with the result from the FLUENT numerical simulation based on CFD–DEM.

With the window rating system being enforced, window companies are required to assign window ratings to their products. As the window ratings is based on the experimental results of fenestration, they are required to spend a lot of time and money conducting laboratory tests in order to assign window ratings to all their products. Through the window performance evaluation system using simulation, the thermal transmittance of products calculated based on numerical simulation can be used in place of experimental results to obtain the window rating. To ensure the credibility of simulation results, it is necessary to use the correct evaluation methods and primary information derived from in use practice should be available for the numerical simulation. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the evaluation methods that the simulator actually uses for the thermal performance of fenestration in WINDOW/THERM. The evaluation methods used by twenty-one simulators were investigated using primary evaluation methods for numerical simulation as the criteria. This study found that most of the simulation results were not trustworthy even though they were similar to experimental results because the evaluation methods used by simulators are incorrect. Furthermore, to enhance the credibility of simulation results, the simulator should be provided with the detailed information used in practice related to the evaluation performance of numerical simulation.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to simulate the temperature distribution during an electron beam freeform fabrication (EBF3) process based on a fully threaded tree (FTT) technique in various scales and to analyze the temperature variation with time in different regions of the part. Design/methodology/approach This study presented a revised model for the temperature simulation in the EBF3 process. The FTT technique was then adopted as an adaptive grid strategy in the simulation. Based on the simulation results, an analysis regarding the temperature distribution of a circular deposit and substrate was performed. Findings The FTT technique was successfully adopted in the simulation of the temperature field during the EBF3 process. The temperature bands and oscillating temperature curves appeared in the deposit and substrate. Originality/value The FTT technique was introduced into the numerical simulation of an additive manufacturing process. The efficiency of the process was improved, and the FTT technique was convenient for the 3D simulations and multi-pass deposits.

Definition Of

The use of natural fibres allows reducing environmental impact, due to their natural renewable origin and the lower energy needed for their production and processing. This work presents the mechanical characterization of a newly developed technical textile, with banana fibre treated by enzymes, comparing experimental results with numerical simulation based on the definition of the unit cell at micromechanical level. The experimental test shows that the composite with the fabric of banana fibre presents worse mechanical behaviour than the one with commercial flax fibre. The presence of wool, necessary for producing the yarn, reduces the mechanical properties of the banana textile. The numerical simulation had an acceptable error compared with the experimental results, with a global average error of 9%, showing that the predictive modelling based on the multiscale method is suitable for the design process of this kind of composite.
