Hybrid Rotary Friction Welding is a modified type of common rotary friction welding processes. In this welding method, parameters such as pressure, angular velocity and time of welding control temperature, stress, strain and their variations which play an important rule in defining optimum process parameter combinations in order to improve the design and manufacturing of welding machines and quality of welded parts. Thermo-mechanical simulation of friction welding has been carried out. It has been shown that simulation is an important tool for prediction of generated heat and strain at the weld interface and can be used for prediction of microstructure and evaluation of quality of welds. For simulation of Hybrid Rotary Friction Welding a commercial finite element program has been used and the effects of pressure on temperature and strain variations have been investigated.

Abstract The paper describes the intention of the authors to determine whether it is possible to predict relative belt edge endurance for radial passenger car tires using the finite element method. Three groups of tires with different belt edge configurations were tested on a fleet test in an attempt to validate predictions from the finite element results. A two-dimensional, axisymmetric finite element analysis was first used to determine if the results from such an analysis, with emphasis on the shear deformations between the belts, could be used to predict a relative ranking for belt edge endurance. It is shown that such an analysis can lead to erroneous conclusions. A three-dimensional analysis in which tires are modeled under free rotation and static vertical loading was performed next. This approach resulted in an improvement in the quality of the correlations. The differences in the predicted values of various stress analysis parameters for the three belt edge configurations are studied and their implication on predicting belt edge endurance is discussed.

To consider the effect of non-uniform shrinkage of box girder sections on the long-term deformations of continuous rigid frame bridges, and to improve the prediction accuracy of analysis in the design phase, this paper proposes a new simulation technique for use with general-purpose finite element program. The non-uniform shrinkage effect of the box girder is transformed to an equivalent temperature gradient and then applied as external load onto the beam elements in the finite element analysis. Comparative analysis of the difference in deflections between uniform shrinkage and nonuniform shrinkage of the main girder was made for a vehicular bridge in reality using the proposed technique. The results indicate that the maximum deflection of box girder under the action of non-uniform shrinkage is much greater than that under the action of uniform shrinkage. The maximum downward deflection of the bridge girder caused by uniform shrinkage is 5.6 mm at 20 years after completion of bridge deck construction, whereas the maximum downward deflection caused by non-uniform shrinkage is 21.6 mm, which is 3.8 times larger. This study shows that the non-uniform shrinkage effect of the girder sections has a significant impact on the long-term deflection of continuous rigid frame bridge, and it can be accurately simulated by the proposed transformation technique.

This article explains the use of the response surface method to produce the optimum tensile strength for the joining of dissimilar metals with the continuous drive friction welding method. The joining of dissimilar metals is one of the biggest challenges in providing industrial applications. Continuous drive friction welding has been extensively used as one of the important solid-state welding processes. In this study, the optimization of the friction welding process parameters is established to achieve the maximum tensile strength in AA6061 and AISI304 dissimilar joints via the response surface methodology. The effect of continuous drive friction welding parameters, which are friction pressure, friction time, upset pressure, and upset time, are investigated using response surface analysis. The design matrix factors are set as 27 experiments based on Box-Behnken. The 3D surface and the contour is plotted for this model to accomplish the tensile strength optimization. The optimization model of the tensile strength was verified by conducting experiments on the optimum values of the parameters based on the experimental data results. It can be denoted that the optimum process parameters settings were friction pressure = 25 MPa, friction time = 6 seconds, upset pressure = 140 MPa, and upset time = 8 seconds, which would result in a maximum tensile strength of 228.57 MPa.

Abstract This paper discusses the properties of possible virtual prototyping systems using finite element analysis and reports on a prototype implementation of such a system in order to illustrate the concepts. Virtual reality user interfaces will improve some existing applications and lead to new application domains. Several crucial points such as overall system architecture, speed and intuitivity of interaction, and visualization quality of results are identified and possible solutions are suggested. This includes a flexible virtual hand interaction with adjustable finger size. In particular a level of detail technique for finite element data based on element shape functions is presented which can greatly improve visualization quality as compared to common visualization approaches. This level of detail technique provides a flexible tool to adjust the exactness of visualization to rendering time (i.e., degree of interactivity) constrains. The concepts are currently being implemented within a testbed called VEIFEL (Virtual Environment Investigation of Finite ELement data). A report of this work and of resulting experiences is given.

Abstract A finite element formulation to solve the dynamic behavior of high-speed Shinkansen cars, rail, and bridge is given. A mechanical model to express the interaction between wheel and rail is described, in which the impact of the rail on the flange of wheel is also considered. The bridge is modeled by using various finite elements such as shell, beam, solid, spring, and mass. The equations of motions of bridge and Shinkansen cars are solved under the constitutive and constraint equations to express the interaction between rail and wheel. Numerical method based on a modal transformation to get the dynamic response effectively is discussed. A finite element program for the dynamic response analysis of Shinkansen cars, rail, and bridge at the high-speed running has been developed. Numerical examples are also demonstrated.

Wave spring is a key component of multi-disc wet clutch and the response speed and running quality of multi-disc wet clutch is affected by its characteristics. This paper analyses the theoretical calculation of load-deformation relationship of wave spring. The load-deformation relationship of wave spring is obtained by ANSYS10.0 software according to its structural characteristics and actual boundary condition and compared with the calculated results based on different methods and the measured value, and then study the effect of the wave number on the load-deformation relationship of wave spring. The results show that the calculated value of finite element analysis (FEM) is closer to the measured value and the FEM has more advantages on simulation of the working performance of wave spring.
