The aim of the present paper is to study the vibration behavior of a sandwich structure with honeycomb core experimentally and numerically with different design parameters. The natural frequency and damping ratio were obtained. Core height, cell angle and face thickness were considered as design parameters. Finite element models for the honeycomb sandwich were developed and analyzed via ANSYS finite element analysis (FEA) software. Response Surface Method (RSM) is used to establish numerical methodology to simulate the effect of the design parameters on natural frequency and damping ration. The employment of (RSM) provides a study of the effect of design parameters on natural frequency and damping ratio, numerical modeling of them in term of design parameters and specifying optimization condition. The experimental tests were conducted on sandwich specimens for the validity goal of the previous models created via the finite element analysis. The obtained results show that the natural frequency is directly proportional to the core height and face thickness, while it is inversely proportional to cell angle, Vice versa for damping ratio. Moreover, the optimum value of natural frequency (209.031 Hz) as minimum and damping ratio (0.0320) as maximum were found at 4.8855 mm of core height, 26.770 cell angle and 0.0614 mm face thickness.

Finite element analysis of honeycomb sandwich panel has been performed by modeling the structure through three different approaches. Continuum properties are calculated through analytical solution and verified through FE analysis of bare core. In addition to that the thickness of core has also been varied in all the three approaches in order to study its effect on vibration analysis of sandwich structure.

According to uncertainty of the design parameters for large span truss of installing wave-maker, in order to avoid the waste of materials,the truss is analyzed based on the finite element analysis software ANSYS to find out its weaknesses and various parts of the deformation. On the premise of ensuring the intensity and stiffness, the weight of the truss is reduced by adjusting its sizes and selecting different profiles, so as to achieve the optimization of the truss of installing wave-maker.

Several studies have been conducted to prevent neck injury in rear-end collision. The headrest of the seat which suppresses the relative motion of the head and the torso can suppress the extension of the head, thereby alleviating the injury. The active headrest has a mechanism that supports the head by deploying the headrest at the rear-end collision. The spring remains compressed or twisted until a collision signal is generated and the headrest is deployed after the collision signal. Depending on the shape and deployment structure of the spring, a spring design with a high resilience that is acceptable to the headrest is required. In this paper, design parameter of spiral spring suitable for the structure of the developed headrest is selected, prototypes are fabricated, and development parameters such as development time and development distance are checked and optimal design parameters of the spiral spring are derived. The feasibility of the headrest with the designed spiral spring was verified by the finite element analysis.

In this article, three small wind turbine blades of different materials were manufactured. Finite element analysis was carried out using finite element software ANSYS 14.5 on modeled blades of National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics 4412 airfoil profile. From finite element analysis, first, two flap-wise natural frequencies and mode shapes of three different blades are obtained. Experimental vibration analysis of manufactured blades was carried out using fast Fourier transform analyzer to find the first two flap-wise natural frequencies. Finally, the results obtained from the finite element analysis and experimental test of three blades are compared. Based on vibration analysis, we found that the natural frequency of glass fiber reinforced plastic blade reinforced with aluminum sheet metal (small) strips increases compared with the remaining blades. An increase in the natural frequency indicates an increase in the stiffness of blade.

In the condition of alternating impact ,the nut-supports subassembly is analyzed according to uncertainty of design parameters. Firstly, a three-dimensional (3-D) finite element (FE) model of the nut-supports subassembly is built and is meshed,and the constraints and loads are imposed.Secondly,the model of nut-supports was assembled using the software ANSYS to understand the stress distribution and various parts of the deformation of the nut-supports and its weak links in the harmonic forces.Finally,socket head cap screw has not enough pre-load in the condition of alternating impact and will be simplified.It is analyzed and checked whether it is cut or not; which provides the reference data for design and optimization of the wave maker.
