The acoustic horn plays a very vital part in high energy ultrasonic machining, and its design is critical to the quality and the efficiency of machining. This paper performs the analysis and design of acoustic horns for ultrasonic machining by employing ANSYS finite element software. The results indicate that not only the natural frequencies of horns designed by theoretical models are more close to the vibration frequencies of ultrasonic generators, but also their amplitudes are superior to commercially available horns.

The results indicate that not only the natural frequencies of horns designed by theoretical models are more close to the vibration frequencies of ultrasonic generators, but also their amplitudes are superior to commercial available horns. Therefore, the trial and error time, for horn machining and dimensional modification of the horn design, can be greatly reduced by the proposed approach of this work.

In this article, three small wind turbine blades of different materials were manufactured. Finite element analysis was carried out using finite element software ANSYS 14.5 on modeled blades of National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics 4412 airfoil profile. From finite element analysis, first, two flap-wise natural frequencies and mode shapes of three different blades are obtained. Experimental vibration analysis of manufactured blades was carried out using fast Fourier transform analyzer to find the first two flap-wise natural frequencies. Finally, the results obtained from the finite element analysis and experimental test of three blades are compared. Based on vibration analysis, we found that the natural frequency of glass fiber reinforced plastic blade reinforced with aluminum sheet metal (small) strips increases compared with the remaining blades. An increase in the natural frequency indicates an increase in the stiffness of blade.

The finite element modeling methods of a passenger car exhaust system’s flexible parts are introduced. A finite element (FE) model of the exhaust system is established with the finite element software and modal analysis of the FE Model is carried out. Through changing both automotive exhaust hangers’ Z direction of stiffness and bellows’ each direction of stiffness, the data of natural frequencies and vibrating modes of the exhaust system were obtained respectively. Comparing and analyzing the results indicates how the stiffness of exhaust hangers and bellows influences the modal of passenger cars’ exhaust system.

The finite element model of the seat rail is established with a spring-damping element to simulate the ball in the rail joint part. The stiffness and damping parameters of the joint part are determined by the combination of finite element method and experiment. Firstly, the natural frequencies and modes of the guide rail are obtained by modal experiment. The stiffness of the spring-damping element is optimized in the finite element software to make the natural frequencies and modes of the system consistent with the experimental ones. Secondly, the dynamic response curve of the key nodes is obtained through sweeping experiment, and the damping of the spring-damping element is optimized in the finite element software to make the nodal response of the system output consistent with the experiment. Then, the gap of the joint part of the car seat rail is studied considering the factors of load and structure randomness. The influence factors of the gap are selected by Hammersley experimental design method. The results show that the gap is normally distributed, and therefore the confidence interval of the gap is obtained. Finally, the joint probability distribution of the gap is obtained under the condition that the load and the structure are all random, which provides the theoretical guidance for determining the reasonable gap of the joint.

The Low, Medium and High rise reinforced concrete (RC) buildings are common in all cities in all countries. Unreinforced masonry wall (URW) is commonly used in low, medium and high rise building as a partition wall both in interior and exterior of building. But structural designers are not considered URW in analysis and design of buildings. This URM wall as an infill plays a very important role in structure subjected to lateral load. So it is very essential to know the nonlinear behavior of low, medium and high rise frame with and without infill. To conduct experiment for understanding the nonlinear behaviour of low, medium and high rise RC frame is very expensive and need good sophisticated testing facilities. With the available many finite element softwares, it is easy to create model and to know the performance of structure. So in this study, a finite element software ATENA 2D (2003) were used to conduct nonlinear analysis for capture nonlinear behaviour of low, medium and high rise RC frame with infill and without infill. Load versus displacement graphs, magnitude of principal compressive stresses, magnitude principal tensile stresses, stress contours, and cracks pattern are used to know the performance of low, medium and high rise RC frame with infill.

The objective of this paper is to design and analyze a horizontal tank on saddle supports. The horizontal vessel is to store various chemicals used in today’s industry. The over all dimensions of the horizontal vessel are determined from the capacity of the stored chemicals. These dimensions are first determined. The design function is performed using the ASME Code Sec VIII Div 1. The horizontal tank design is broken up into (a) shell design, (b) two elliptical heads and (c) two saddle supports. The designed dimensions are used to recalculate the stresses for the horizontal vessel. The dimensioned horizontal vessel with saddle supports and the saddle support structure is modeled using STAAD III finite element software. The stresses from the finite element software are compared with the stresses obtained from calculated stresses by ASME Code Sec VIII Div 1 and L. P. Zick’s analysis printed in 1951. The difference in the stress value is explained. This paper’s main objective is to compare the code design to the finite element analysis. The design is found to be safe for the specific configuration considered.

Using finite element software ADINA, three coupling models on fluid-structure interaction among internal fluid—pipe—external fluid in the lifting pipeline were researched. Firstly, coupling finite element model on fluid structure interaction of lifting pipeline was established and the first sixth order natural frequencies and principal vibration modes were attained at different ore conveying volume concentration and cross-section size of pipeline;Then natural frequencies of three couplings were compared with two couplings and no coupling according to the above condition, and FSI effect on natural frequency of pipeline was discussed. The calculation results were shown that the natural frequency of the pipe and its relative error reduced with the volume concentration and the relative wall thickness increased, which explain the reason that has better accuracy considering three couplings than other .These results have certain directive significance on the dynamic response, structure design and study of reduction vibration of lifting pipeline.
