Structure Strength

Cylinder shell stiffened by rings is used commonly in submersibles, and structure strength should be verified in the initial design stage considering the thickness of the shell, the number of rings, the shape of ring section and so on. Based on the statistical techniques, a strategy for optimization design of pressure hull is proposed in this paper. Its central idea is that: firstly the design variables are chosen by referring criterion for structure strength, then the samples for analysis are created in the design space; secondly finite element models corresponding to the samples are built and analyzed; thirdly the approximations of these analysis are constructed using these samples and responses obtained by finite element model; finally optimization design result is obtained using response surface model. The result shows that this method that can improve the efficiency and achieve optimal intention has valuable reference information for engineering application.

Model Update

With the increasing of variables and orders of polynomial expansion, the undetermined coefficients of the response surface model have increased dramatically. The insignificant expansion terms should be eliminated because not all of the expansion terms have significant effect on the response. The improved and practical updating method based on response surface model by stepwise regression, which can effectively reduce the undetermined coefficients on the premise of guaranteeing the correcting accuracy, is proposed in this paper. The method is also applied to update the finite element model of a bridge with prestressed reinforced concrete rigid frame-continuous girders based on the in-situ dynamic test results. The results show that the updated finite element model can match the mechanical properties of the bridge well.

Parametric finite element model for a commonly used telescopic boom structure of a certain type of truck-mounted crane has been established. Static analysis of the conventional design configuration was performed first. And then an optimization process has been carried out to minimize the total weight of the telescopic structures. The design variables include the geometric shape parameters of the cross-sections and the integrated structural parameters of the telescopic boom. The constraints include the maximum allowable equivalent stresses and the flexure displacements at the tip of the assembled boom structure in both the vertical direction and the circumferential direction of the rotating plane. Compared with the conventional design, the optimization design has achieved a significant weight reduction of up to 24.3%.

In the imaging process, the deformation of the plate caused by the structure of the drum, finally affecting the quality of the plate, we analyze and optimize the structure of the drum using the finite element method. Selecting the larger three factors affecting the plate deformation as the design variables, and taking minimizing the maximum deformation of the plate as the objective function, we establish the optimization model of the structure of the drum. We use the APDL parametrization language to create the geometric model and finite element model of the drum, and select the contact element to simulate the relationship between the plate and the surface of the drum, and use ANSYS software to optimize the optimization model. It is shown form the result that: the minimum of the maximum deformation of the drum getting from the 8th iteration is 0.0021535mm, significantly reduced compared with the initial value 0.002864mm. At this point, the internal diameter D2 of the drum is 300.04mm, the groove width L2 is 14.323mm, the external diameter of groove height D3 is 338.44mm. It indicates that that the smaller the internal diameter of the drum and the narrower the guide groove on the drum surface are, the smaller the maximum deformation of the plate is, and the guide groove height has little influence on the deformation. The results can be provided as theoretical reference for the design of CTP imaging drum, which has popularization and application value.

Fourth Order Polynomial

In order to solve the problem of high risk and low precision of existing damage detection methods for long-span Bridges, a new method based on fourth-order polynomial response surface model is proposed. Response surface model is constructed by using fourth order polynomial function. The parameters of the finite element model of the bridge are modified according to the response surface model. Based on the finite element model, the modal strain energy before and after the damage of the element was calculated, and the damage index of the element was obtained, so as to realize the damage detection of the long-span bridge structure. Experimental results show that the proposed method can accurately detect the damage location of long-span Bridges under different damage conditions, and the detection error of damage degree is less than 1%, which has a broad application prospect.

The Finite Element Model

This paper proposes a variable stiffness collision post (VSCP) structure based on a uniform stiffness collision post (USCP) structure and performs stiffness matching optimization for VSCPs. A collision post structure assembled in a subway front-end frame can maintain the living space and absorb a certain amount of the kinetic energy of an impact. The experiment was applied on USCP, and the finite element model was verified experimentally. To investigate the effects of the stiffness parameters of VSCP on the specific energy absorption response (SEA_VSCP) and the area of intrusion response (S_In), response surface models fitted from design of experiment were adopted with the finite element model. In addition, a multiobjective optimization design was realized by using the global response search method and a Pareto frontier sequence was generated, which was based on the developed response surface model. It was found that the optimal value of SEA_VSCP and S_In responses cannot be achieved at the same time. Finally, a grey relational analysis is propounded to attain a desirable balance between SEA_VSCP and S_In from the Pareto frontier sequence under constraints of the peak crash force of VSCP and energy absorption of the front-end of cab car. The optimization result shows that the crashworthiness of VSCP is better than that of USCP.

This paper investigates the role of gold-to-gold interfacial metallurgical bonding on the bond strength of adhesively bonded flip-chip interconnects in microelectronic assemblies. [44] dealt with experimental investigation of the effect of bonding parameters on Au-Au interfacial bond strength. One of the major conclusions in [44] was that interfacial creep deformation closely correlated with the measured evolution of bond strength over time. This study presents a viscoplastic finite element analysis to capture the physical creep mechanisms that drive the development of this strength, so that the effect of the system architecture and bonding parameters can be effectively quantified. Based on the studies in literature [42, 43], the strength is assumed to depend on the area of the contact “a-spots,” which are defined here as the area over which the interfaces come into intimate, atomistically flat contact. The most important inputs to the finite element model consist of (i) interfacial geometry (with special emphasis on the surface roughness topology); (ii) viscoplastic mechanical properties of gold; and (iii) bonding parameters (force, temperature and time). The viscoplastic constitutive properties for gold are obtained partly from experiments conducted in this study and partly from the existing literature. The model inputs are parametrically varied in a systematic way within the design space, to obtain the variability expected in the bond strength. The simulation results are captured in a response surface model that can predict bond strength for a given set of fabrication conditions. The response surface model thus serves as a prediction tool critical for optimizing the interconnect strength and the durability of adhesively bonded flip chip assemblies.

Automobile wheel is a key component of the automobile. The optimization design for aluminium alloy wheel was implemented using Design of Experiments (DOE) in this paper. On wheel, the parameters affecting the overall efficiency such as strength, stiffness and weight are selected, and simulation experiments are completed using Minitab software according to the Box-Behnken Design. The response surface model is obtained from the Response Surface Method (RSM) and then static analysis was done by using ANSYS for each design with different combination of parameters produced by response surface model. As a result, the optimal parameters of the wheel are determined by finding the minimum value of the response model. A shape of an optimized wheel is determined by the response surface model and validity is confirmed by analysing and comparing the characteristic of wheel with the baseline design. Lastly, transient thermal analysis of the optimized alloy wheel is aimed at evaluating the performance of alloy wheel of a car under static conditions specifically in hot weather
