The clinch joining is a new technique to join light alloy materials. This paper studies the process of clinching in joining Copper alloy sheets based on the method of numerical simulation combined with experiment. The studies are performed by employing software ansys/ls-dyna considering with the contact conditions and material models in the model. Efficient analytic results of forming of clinching in Copper alloy sheets are provided. The experiments of clinched joints in Copper alloy sheets are carried out to validate the simulation. It is shown that the simulation of process of clinching joints in Copper alloy sheet has a good agreement with the experimental result. That suggests the developed finite element model, considering the contact conditions of materials and the material models can be used to predict the joint forming of Copper alloy by clinching ideally.

The performance of centrifugal fans is considerably influenced by the design of tongue at the re-circulation port. The flow in the volute of a centrifugal fan was studied both experimentally and numerically. In this experiment, flow angle, pressure and velocity profiles were measured at a large number of locations in the volute. The flow field in the volute passage was analyzed using Computational Fluid Dynamics. The flow was assumed to be three dimensional, turbulent and steady. The numerical simulation produced qualitatively good agreement with the experimental result. The results from experiment and numerical simulation indicated that the adoption of a re-circulating flow port improved fan performance for all flow conditions. In addition, the existence of strong secondary flow was apparent at the cross-section of the volute passage.

The theoretical model of Yb3+-Er3+-Tm3+-codoped fiber amplifier pumped by 980 nm laser is proposed, and the rate and power propagation equations are numerically solved to analyze the dependences of the gains at 1500 nm and 1600 nm bands on the activator concentrations, fiber length, pump power, and signal wavelength. The numerical results show that our model is in good agreement with experimental result, and with pump power of 200 mW and fiber length varying from 0.15 to 1.5 m, the gains at the two bands may reach 10.0–20.0 dB when the codoping concentrations of Yb3+, Er3+, and Tm3+ are in the ranges 1.0–3.0×1025, 1.0–3.0×1024, and 1.0–3.0×1024 ions/m3, respectively. The fiber parameters may be optimized to flatten the gain spectra.

Az61 Magnesium Alloy

Magnesium alloys are being increasingly used in automotive and aerospace structures. In this study, welding of AZ61 magnesium alloy with 10 mm thickness was carried out using vacuum electron beam welding (EBW). By using the finite element model and the 3D moving double ellipsoid heat source model, numerical simulation method was employed to study the influence of the electron beam current on the temperature field of welding process and weld penetration. The microstructure and microhardness of weld joint obtained by the optimized vacuum EBW process had been investigated in detail. The results show that the numerical simulation result basically matches the experimental result. A favorable joint had been obtained by EBW for AZ61 magnesium alloy, in which heat affected zone was not evident, the fusion zone (FZ) consisted of fine-equiaxed grain. The weld hardness was greater than that of the base metal.

Abstract Motion of liquid pouring from a beverage can is numerically studied. A liquid is poured from a can which is rotated at a prescribed angular speed. The flow is simulated by solving the unsteady three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. An experiment under the same condition is also carried out to validate the computational result. The result shows that, when the can is tipped, the liquid flows over the lid of the can and is once obstructed by the rim of the lid. The numerical result is in good agreement with the experimental result. The effect of condensation formed on a can surface is also considered. The effect of condensation is taken into account by adjusting a contact angle. The liquid pouring from a can trickles down along the can body. The computation reproduces these experimental observations.

Fiber metal laminates as one of new hybrid materials with the bonded structure of thin metal sheets and fiber/epoxy layers have been developed for the last three decades. These kinds of materials can provide the characteristics of the excellent fatigue, impact and damage tolerance with a relatively low density. Because metal sheets and fiber/epoxy layers are bonded each other, the bonding between two materials is critical. In this study, the bonding strength is investigated experimentally with respect to surface roughness of metal sheets. The equivalent material properties of carbon reinforced aluminum laminates as the input data in the numerical simulation are also investigated and compared with the experimental result. The application of the equivalent material property to the numerical simulation can provide the high degree of efficiency in the build-up of the finite element model and the numerical simulation.

The thermal conductivity of porous material is an important basic parameter, but it is not easy to study, due to the complexity of the structure of porous material. In the present work, we show a numerical simulation method to study the thermal conductivity of the porous material. We generate 200 material models with random distribution of solid skeleton and air for a fixed porosity, then we get the effective thermal conductivity of the porous material by Monte Carlo statistical analysis. The results are in good agreement with the previous empirical formula. The numerical results show that the effective thermal conductivity of porous material depends on the thermophysical properties of solid skeleton and air, the pore distribution and pore structure, the numerical error decreases with the increase in the number of grids, this finite element method can be used to estimate the effective thermal conductivity of composites and maybe has broad application prospects in terms of computing the effective thermal conductivity and other physical properties of composite material with known components.

The exerted force of the die was also simulated and analyzed; thus, the die forging process was optimized. Based on the designed process parameters and simulation results, the experimental study on die forging forming of cutter ring was carried out. The comparison shows that the numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results, which proves that the die forging model of disc cutter ring in this paper is feasible.
