This study was aimed at evaluating the durability of the car body for rubber-tired light rail vehicles according to Korean-standardized specifications for light rail vehicles (size, strength, structure, weight, etc.). The strengths of the car body were analyzed under two weight conditions (tare weight and maximum passenger weight) by using the finite element method. Based on the results of the analysis, dynamic stresses were measured by using strain gauges, including rosette gauges, while the train was running on the test track. Various experimental results have verified the durability and safety of the car body.

Abstract The finite element method has been used widely in tire engineering. Most tire simulations using the finite element method are static analyses, because tires are very complex nonlinear structures. Recently, transient phenomena have been studied with explicit finite element analysis codes. In this paper, the authors demonstrate the feasibility of tire cornering simulation using an explicit finite element code, PAM-SHOCK. First, we propose the cornering simulation using the explicit finite element analysis code. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed simulation, computed cornering forces for a 175SR14 tire are compared with experimental results from an MTS Flat-Trac Tire Test System. The computed cornering forces agree well with experimental results. After that, parametric studies are conducted by using the proposed simulation.

AbstractA computer model based on the finite element method has been applied to evaluate the effect of the parasitic area between contact and diffusion edges on end resistance measurements in four terminal Kelvin resistor structures. The model is then applied to Al/Ti/n+ Si contacts and a value of contact resistivity of Qc = 1.8×10−7.Ωcm2 is derived. For comparison, the use of a self-aligned structure to avoid parasitic effects is presented and the first experimental results obtained on Al/Ti/n+Si and Al/CoSi2/n+Si contacts are shown and discussed.

Some corrections have been made hitherto to explain the great discrepancy between experimental and theoretical values of the magnetoelastic buckling field of a ferromagnetic beam plate. To solve this problem, the finite-element method was applied. A magnetic field and buckling equations of the ferromagnetic beam plate finite in size were solved numerically assuming that the magnetic torque is proportional to the rotation of the plate and by using a disturbed magnetic torque deduced by Moon. Numerical and experimental results agree well with each other within 25 percent.

AbstractWithin the scope of experiments, the effect of aramid and glass yarns as stitch and biaxial (warp and weft) yarns in the biaxial weft knitted (BWK) composite was compared. After production of four types of composite panel using the hand lay-up method, the tensile and bending properties of the BWK composites were investigated both experimentally and numerically. The composite with the glass stitch and biaxial yarns exhibited higher tensile and bending properties than did the composite with the aramid stitch and biaxial yarns. The good agreement between the experimental results and the numerical results validated the applicability of the finite-element method for the BWK composites. The laminate beam theory was utilized as another modeling method for calculation of the bending modulus.

The finite element method (FEM) is used for simulating complex intricate shapes of industrial sheet forming operation. Effective physical parameters, as well as the numerical solution, influence the parameters of this phenomenon and its numerical prediction of results. In this study, to investigate the influence of different embossing patterns and embossing depths on the critical areas appearing during deep-drawn of a cylindrical cup. The numerical results are found from the literature survey to be in good agreement with the experimental results and accurate thinning distributions had been predict.

Cylindrical Cavities

Dynamic stresses and displacements around cylindrical cavities of various shapes, namely, circular, triangular, and square cavities are presented in this paper. Also presented are results for a pair of circular cavities of equal radii and a pair of circular and square cavities. These results are of interest in estimating the effects of corners and multiple scattering on the distribution of dynamic displacements and stresses around cylindrical holes or openings. Since exact analytical solutios are not available in these cases (except for a single circular hole) a numerical technique combining the finite element method (FEM) and the method of eigenfunction expansions is used here.

The three-dimensional transient nonlinear thermal analysis of the hard facing process is performed by using the finite element method. The simulations were executed on the open source Salome platform using the open source finite element solver Code_Aster. The Gaussian double ellipsoid was selected in order to enable greater possibilities for the calculation of the moving heat source.

In this paper the mechanical structure and the operating principle of a fast steering mirror (FSM) are introduced, and a novel FSM based on magnetostrictive actuators is designed. The modal analysis of the FSM is carried out with the help of the finite element method, and relative experiments are also conducted. The experimental results and that of simulation are given and in good qualitative agreement with each other. This paper pays attention to ameliorating the FSM structure for higher mechanical natural frequency and perfect control performance. The experimental results would be helpful for the construction design of the FSM.
