Boom is one of key components of concrete pump trucks which can be looked as a projecting beam when unfolded at pumping mode. Under different concrete pumping modes, vibration of boom is serious for the hydraulic cylinder switching over shock, which can lead to the early damage of boom structure. In the finite element analysis software, boom of 37 meters concrete pump truck is simulated for its modal. Natural frequencies and corresponding modes are got and analyzed. To reduce vibration of concrete pump trucks, advices are presented by finite element modal analysis.

This paper studies natural frequencies and mode shapes of a glide head with a piezoelectric transducer (PZT) through calibrated experiments and a finite element analysis. In the experiments, the PZT transducer served as an actuator exciting the glide head from 100 kHz to 1.3 MHz, and a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) measured displacement of the glide head at the inner or outer rail. The natural frequencies were measured through PZT impedance and frequency response functions from PZT to LDV. In the finite element analysis, the glide head was meshed by brick elements. The finite element results show that there are two types of vibration modes: slider modes and PZT modes. Only the slider modes are important to glide head applications. Moreover, natural frequencies predicted from the finite element analysis agree well with the experimental results within 5% of error. Finally, the finite element analysis identifies four critical slider dimensions whose tolerance will significantly vary the natural frequencies: PZT bonding length, wing thickness, slider thickness, and air bearing recess depth.

The Finite Element Analysis

In this study, the change of the natural frequencies in mouse femurs with osteoporosis was investigated based on a vibration test and a finite element. Three groups of the femurs include the osteoporotic group, the treated group and the normal group. In the vibration test, the natural frequencies were measured by the mobility test. For the finite element analysis, the micro finite element model of the femur was reconstructed using the Micro-CT images and the Voxel mesh generation algorithm. From the results, the averaged natural frequencies in the osteoporotic group were the highest, followed by those in the treated group. The finite element models were validated within 15% errors by comparing the natural frequencies in the finite element analysis with those in the vibration test. The developed Micro-CT system, the Voxel mesh generation algorithm, the presented finite element analysis, and vibration test could be useful for the investigation of the structural change of the bone tissue, and the diagnosis and the treatment in the osteoporosis.

As a novel robot which mainly engages in the demolition and transformation of various concrete buildings, the demolition robot has developed rapidly in recent years. The impact force is mainly produced by the breaking hammer installed in the front end of the arm. As the most important part of a demolition robot, the boom arm is mainly composed of four parts including a supporting arm, a main arm, a fore arm, and a breaking hammer system. In this article, a mechanical model of the boom arm is established, and the finite element analysis obtaining the first four-order natural frequencies and modes is carried out in ANSYS Workbench. The results reveal that the resonation can be easily stimulated when a hydraulic breaking hammer is at the second-order frequency. The mounting block of the hydraulic breaking hammer, the hinge parts of the supporting arm, and the main arm are easily deformed or damaged in the Y direction by analyzing the deformation in three directions of the second-order mode. After the structure optimization, the vibration characteristics of the two parts are significantly enhanced, which provides a theoretical basis for optimizing the prototype and gives a reference in the experimental modes.

Train carbody and truck structures are designed to exhibit primary natural frequency modes great enough to avoid unwanted resonant oscillations with normal track interactions. Critical bounce modes can be excited by typical track in the 2–4 Hz range. Trains are designed with first modes above this threshold. Historically, simplified approaches are employed to predict natural frequencies of the main truck and carbody train structures independently. Since the advent of high powered computing, more detailed finite element analysis (FEA) eigenvalue approaches have been used to more accurately predict natural frequency of structures. Still, the typical FEA approach uses simplified boundary conditions and partial models to determine natural frequencies of individual components, neglecting the interaction with other connected structures. In this paper, a detailed, holistic approach is presented for an entire Light Rail Vehicle (LRV). The analysis is performed on a fully detailed FEA model of the LRV, including trucks and suspension, carbody structures, non-structural mass, articulation, as well as intercar and truck-carbody connections. The model was developed for detailed crashworthiness investigations, which requires a high level of fidelity compared to what is typically required for static and modal analysis. Using the same model for multiple purposes speeds up development while also improving the accuracy of the analyses. In this paper, the modal analysis methodology developed is described. A case study is presented investigating the often neglected contribution of windows, cladding, and flooring on the overall carbody natural frequency.

The processing performance is closely related with dynamic performance and the dynamic performance is one of the most important performance indicators which is affecting the performance and product quality. The machine is affected most by the dynamic performance of machine bed. The modal analysis method is used to analyze the dynamic performance of the machine. In this paper, the modal analysis of lathe bed is conducted. A 3D solid model of HTC100 NC lathe bed is built with SolidWorks. In order to facilitate the finite element analysis, the model of lathe bed is simplified. The modal analysis of lathe bed is calculated with ANSYS Workbench 12. The first six natural frequencies and corresponding modes are obtained through modal analysis of the lathe bed. According to the low-order natural frequency and modal vibration shapes, the rigidity vulnerable area of lathe bed is realized, which provides the reliable theory to improve lathe bed structure.
