With finite element simulation method, the fatigue life of vehicle front floor is analyzed in different vehicle wheelbases and velocities, and the washboard enhancement coefficient is calculated, then K-v curve, K-m curve and K-v-m surface are drawn, with which influence of vehicle velocity and wheelbase on washboard enhancement coefficient is studied. The study results show that, when the wheelbase is constant, washboard enhancement coefficient increases first and then decreases with velocity increasing, and reaches peak at a certain velocity; when velocity is constant, washboard enhancement coefficient decreases as wheelbase increasing; when velocity and wheelbase both changes, washboard enhancement coefficient varies in K-v-m surface.

In this paper, a finite element model of membrane air spring in the vehicle is established, and its vertical stiffness characteristics under a certain inflation pressure are analysed. The result of finite element simulation method is compared with the result of the air spring bench test. The accuracy and reliability of the finite element simulation method in nonlinear analysis of air spring system are verified. In addition, according to the finite element method, the influence of the installation of the air spring limit sleeve on its stiffness is verified.

To predict an airborne equipment lifetime with finite element simulation method, use ANSYS and Flothem, respectively, to analysis vibration stress and temperature stress, corrected by kinetic experiment; then import the results into the failure prediction software-CALCE PWA, set the intensity and duration of stress according to its mission profile, finally get the component failure life prediction results under comprehensive temperature and vibration stress; extract the Monte-Carlo simulation data, use the single point of failure distribution fitting, fault clustering and multipoint distribution fusion method to get the board and the whole machines lifetime and reliability prediction. The design refinement suggestion of the airborne equipment is given at the end of the conclusion.

An extensively published and correlated solder joint fatigue life prediction methodology is incorporated by which finite element simulation results are translated into estimated cycles to failure. This study discusses the analysis methodologies as implemented in the ANSYSTM finite element simulation software tool. Finite element models are used to study the effect of temperature cycles on the solder joints of a flip chip ball grid array package. Through finite element simulation, the plastic work or the strain-energy density of the solder joints are determined. Using an established methodology, the plastic work obtained through simulation is translated into solder joint fatigue life [1]. The corresponding results for the solder joint fatigue life are used for parametric studies. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been used to consolidate the parametric studies.

AbstractThe problem considered in this work is the development of simulation method for simulating car crash which utilizes simple car—impact attenuator model developed in MATLAB. Usually, car crash simulation is done using full finite element simulation which could take hours or days depending on the model size. The purpose of proposed method is to achieve quick results on the car crash simulation. Past works which utilizes simple car—impact attenuator model to simulate car crash use continuous time model and the impact attenuator parameter is obtained from the experimental results. Different from the related works, this work uses discrete time model, and the impact attenuator parameter is obtained from finite element simulation. Therefore, the proposed simulation method is not only achieving quick simulation results but also minimizing the cost and time in obtaining the impact attenuator parameter. The proposed method is suitable for parametric study of impact attenuator.
