The paper presents an analysis of the damping of laminated beams with four different stacking sequences. The experimental investigation was conducted using tensile cyclic tests for different laminates studied. The impulse technique was chosen to perform modal analysis of the ease of implementation and quickness of the test. The numerical analysis is performed by the finite element method using beam element. The difference between strain energies for both cases damaged and undamaged are calculated by the finite element method. The structural damping of the different beams is evaluated from these energies. The decrease in frequency for different rates of loading shows the loss of stiffness for all materials studied.

Abstract The analysis of spatial functions of pressure considering the geometrical deviations and the elastic deformation of conjugate surace have been considered. The analysis of spatial functions of pressure is performed by the finite element method. The difference of the size of pressure in a tangential direction of a pocket of a support under various service conditions has been investigated. A recommendation for improving of operational characteristics in regulated hydrostatic radial bearing has been developed.

Highlight advantages of the finite element method is suitable for non-linear, non-homogeneous, complex boundary conditions. The paper adopts the finite element method to analysis culvert stress in Valley terrain. Gain that when the filling height H=40 meters, considering the valley topography calculated Ks=1.19, otherwise the Ks=1.435, the difference is about 17%. Therefore, the effects of the valley terrain to the high embankment culvert can not be ignored.

Element Method

Modal analysis provides the dynamic behavior of an object or structure, and is often undertaken using the Finite Element Method (FEM) due to its ability to deal with arbitrary geometries. This article investigates the use of Augmented Reality (AR) to provide the in situ visualization of a modal analysis for an aluminum impeller. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software packages regularly use heat maps and shape deformation to visualize the outcomes of a given simulation. AR allows the superimposition of digital information on a view of the real-world environment, and provides the opportunity to overlay such simulation results onto real-world objects and environments. The presented modal analysis undertaken herein provides natural frequencies and the corresponding deformation of an aluminum impeller. The results indicate the ability for the design part and finite element analysis results to be viewed on the physical part. A mobile AR-FEA-based system was developed for Modal Analysis result visualization. This study offers designers and engineers a new way to visualize such simulation results.

Element Method

In the manufacture of commercial trucks, used in oil installations or the army, two identical engines are used on a single chassis, whose power is summed by a gearbox, a compact metal construction, which must meet multiple operating requirements. The paper studies the behavior of such an adding box, currently used in manufacturing, and an improved, welded solution that produces less noise and has a lower weight. The finite element method is used for modeling the gearbox in order to analyze stresses and strains and obtain a modal analysis of the system. The results obtained from the calculation are then verified by experimental measurements. The two versions are analyzed in parallel to highlight the advantages of the second version.

A finite element method (FEM) is used to make the modal analysis of the drive axle housing, the first ten natural frequencies and modal shapes are obtained. The parameter identification method is applied to obtain the experimental modes. There is a great agreement with the calculating modes and the experimental ones, which proves that the finite element method is rational. According to the theoretical analysis, the main deformations are bending and torsion at both ends of the drive axle housing and the deformation of the middle part is relatively high. The natural frequencies are at middle and high frequencies which are close to the mesh frequencies of the drive axle gears. Therefore increasing the thickness and redesigning of stiffened palates are applied to avoid the resonance region effectively.
