Intense Radiation

In this paper, temperature field and stress field have been simulated on a Langmuir Probe and its dissipation system in certain diagnostic equipment under intense radiation in use of Abaqus. The results show that there are strongest thermal stresses on the ceramic barrels inside the system, which would be extremely easy to get broken. The reasons to have such dreadful stresses are discussed in the paper. And improving suggestions to avoid extra stresses are put forward for the structure design of Langmuir Probe and its heat dissipation system due to the simulation results.

Aircraft Crashworthiness

AbstractTo improve the crashworthiness of civil aircraft, the design concept of energy absorption structure for civil aircraft is investigated. Two typical different design principles could be identified. The first category includes Helicopter and Light fixed-wing Aircraft (HLA), and Transport, Mid-size and Commuter type Aircraft (TMCA) are classified into the second group. Frame, strut and bottom structure are the three kinds of energy absorption structure for TMCA. The strut layout of conventional civil aircraft is studied and some energy absorption devices are adopted. High efficiency energy absorption structures such as the foam and sine-wave beam are employed as the bottom structure for both of HLA and LMCA. The finite element method is used to analyse and design energy absorption structure in aircraft crashworthiness problem. Results show that the crashworthiness of civil aircraft could be largely improved by using proper strut layout and excellent energy absorption device. The stiffness combination of frame and strut should be considered to get better global aircraft deformation. Supporting platform and failure model are the two core problems of bottom energy absorption structure design. Foam and sine-wave beam under the lifted frame could improve the crashworthiness of civil aircraft.

Simulation Results

In this study, a two step damage prognosis method is proposed for beam-like truss structures via combining modal curvature change (MCC) with modal strain energy change ratio (MSECR). Changes in the modal curvature and the elemental strain energy are selected as the indicator of damage prognosis. Different damage elements with different damage degrees are simulated. In the first step, the finite element method is used to model a beam-like truss structure and the displacement modes are got. The damage region is estimated by the MCC of top and bottom chords of a beam-like truss structure. In the second step, the elemental MSECR in the damage region is calculated and the maximum MSECR element is deemed as the damage element. The simulation results show that this method can accurately locate the damage in the beam-like truss structure.

The cohesive zone model (CZM) has been widely used for numerical simulations of interface crack growth. However, geometrical and material discontinuities decrease the accuracy and efficiency of the CZM when based on the conventional finite element method (CFEM). In order to promote the development of numerical simulation of interfacial crack growth, a new CZM, based on the wavelet finite element method (WFEM), is presented. Some fundamental issues regarding CZM of interface crack growth of double cantilever beam (DCB) testing were studied. The simulation results were compared with the experimental and simulation results of CFEM. It was found that the new CZM had higher accuracy and efficiency in the simulation of interface crack growth. At last, the impact of crack initiation length and elastic constants of material on interface crack growth was studied based on the new CZM. These results provided a basis for reasonable structure design of composite material in engineering.

Simulation Results

The experiments and finite element simulations of composite laminate with stitching are carried out. Firstly, the monotonous tensile experiments with and without stitching are conducted to investigate the influence of stitch reinforcement on the composite laminate. Secondly, the finite element method (FEM) is employed to simulate the tensile process of specimens, and the link element is introduced to simulate the stitching. The experiment results shows that the stitching has little influence on the damage load under monotonous tensile load, while there is a significant influence on the changing of strain. The FEM results are consistent with the experiment results, which means that the link element can be used to study the stitching of the composite laminate. The simulation results also show that the distributions of strain are changed obviously due to the existence of the stitching. Research results have a significant role on the design of the composite structures with and without stitching.

Analyzing the strain expression referring to Castigliano’s Theorem after analysis of the tripod type universal coupling under drawing force comes to the simplified mode of tripod type universal coupling. And with the help of simplified mode, it concludes that the minimum strain occurs when the radius of cross-section of the circlip equals to the depth of groove. After setting material attributes, boundary conditions, contacts of the tripod type universal coupling, and static simulation with the finite element method in SolidWorks, the strain of the universal couplings is carried out. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that when the radius of cross-section of the coupling equals to the depth of groove, the strain is minimum.
