In the traditional designs of milling cutter, we cannot get the required accuracy of machining as there may be local deformation on the edges, even more the cutter can break down. Aiming at this situation, a finite-element model of straight pin milling cutter with helical tooth are built using Marc, a nonlinear finite-element analysis software, the different cutting forces of the milling cutter during the cutting process are analyzed and the cutting forces of the milling cutter at different parameters are studied. We get the stress, the strain and the temperature distribution of the milling cutter in different situation. Our work offer a theoretical basis of improving stress of the cutter, designing the structure of cutters reasonably and analyzing the cutter failure as well as a new method of analysis and calculation of the cutter life and strength.

The finite element model of a 0201 V-shaped, U-shaped, and UV-shaped single corrugated board corrugated boxes are established. The stress distribution and strain of the three types of waveform corrugated box to withstand the pressure of the top surface stacking are calculated. Three kinds of corrugated board compression are analyzed. Analysis of the structure shows that the V-shaped corrugated board has good rigidity, U-type corrugated box has good cushioning properties, and the range during which the UV type is a better choice. This is consistent with the experimental results, prove the validity of the finite element analysis, and provide data basis for optimization design of the shape of the corrugated board corrugated waveform.

This study is based on the graduation design for undergraduate course. In the paper, finite element analysis software ANSYS had been used to create the finite element model of a cannon barrel. On this basis, the vibration modal analysis of the barrel was conducted. Through the model analysis, the natural frequency and modal shape of the cannon barrel was obtained. The situations of stiffness strength and elasticity deformation about each part of the barrel were got by analysis of the modal shape. By this way, we can verify the rationality of the barrel design .Also it can provide improvements of the weak place of the structure for people to improve the stiffness and shooting precision of the gun, in order to make the dynamics characteristics of the gun more reasonable.

Abstract This paper presents an adaptive nodal boundary condition scheme to systematically enhance the computational efficiency and circumvent numerical instabilities of the finite element analysis in density-based topology optimization problems. The approach revisits the idea originally proposed by Bruns and Tortorelli to eliminate the contribution of void elements from the finite element model and extends this idea to modern projection methods to stabilize the implementation, facilitate reintroduction of material, and consider additional physics. The computational domain is discretized on a fixed finite element mesh and a threshold density is used to determine if an element is sufficiently low relative density to be “removed” from the finite element analysis. By eliminating low-density elements from the design domain, the number of free Degrees-Of-Freedom (DOFs) is reduced, thereby reducing the solution cost of the finite element equations. Perhaps more importantly, it circumvents numerical instabilities such as element distortion when considering large deformations. Unlike traditional solids-only modeling approaches, a key feature of the projection-based scheme is that the design and finite element spaces are separate, allowing the design variable sensitivities in a region to remain active (and potentially non-zero) even if the corresponding analysis elements are removed from the finite element model. This ultimately means material reintroduction is systematic and driven by the design sensitivities. The Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) approach is used to interpolate material properties and the Heaviside Projection Method (HPM) is used to regularize the optimization problem and facilitate material reintroduction through the gradient-based optimizer. Several benchmark examples in areas of linear and nonlinear structural mechanics are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach. The resulting optimized designs are consistent with literature and results reveal the performance and efficiency of the developed method in reducing computational costs without numerical instabilities known to be due to modeling near-void elements.
