In this paper, a comparison study has been presented to see the difference between the theoretical and finite element analysis for ball bearing. Throughout that study, a finite element analysis is performed to determine the maximum contact pressure and maximum stresses induced in the bearing components; rolling elements and rings. Another purpose of this analysis is to validate the most critical zones in the bearing for knowing the scenario of generating this stress and pressure which enabling the specialists to determine the initiation point for failure in the bearing. The comparison between the results of the numerical study with theoretical one has showed the good agreement outputs of this numerical study. In addition, this analysis could give the displacements and deformations that raised in the bearing elements at the highest critical zones.

The Difference

There are two types of combination between external and internal threads used in threaded pipe connections for pressure piping specified in industrial standards like JIS as well as ISO. One is the combination that taper external thread of pipe is engaged with taper internal thread of a fitting. The other is that taper external thread of pipe is engaged with parallel internal thread of a fitting. Taper thread is always used for external thread outside the pipe wall. Both taper thread and parallel one are applicable to internal thread inside the fittings. This paper evaluates the mechanical behaviors of threaded pipe-socket joints (or pipe-coupling joints) and the difference due to the thread type combinations by means of axisymmetric finite element analysis for 3/4” and 3” joints. The analysis shows that the taper-taper threads combination establishes the full-length contact over the engaged threads but the taper-parallel has only a pair of threads in contact at the 1st engaged thread from the end of socket, and the difference results in the different behaviors of the joints. Stress and strain pattern also completely differ due to the difference in the engaged thread length. No significant effect of the size has been found in the present analysis for 3/4”and 3” joints. Experimental tightening tests and pressure leak tests have also been carried out for 3/4” and 3” joints with taper-taper threads combination. The measured experimental stress for 3/4” joints has shown an agreement with the simulated one fairly well. The pressure leak tests have demonstrated that the taper-taper threaded pipe-socket joints can hold internal pressure without leakage without using thread seal tape or jointing compound under low-pressure service condition. The 3/4” joints have started leaking at 1–4MPaG of internal pressure. The 3” joints haven’t shown leakage even at 6MPaG of internal pressure applied.

This paper deals with investigating the tensile characteristics of biaxial weft-knitted reinforced composites in terms of stiffness, strength and failure mechanism. The biaxial weft-knitted fabric was produced on an electronic flat knitting machine by E-glass yarns and then was impregnated with epoxy resin. Using an accurate geometrical model, the composite unit cell was designed in Abaqus software’s environment. Tensile tests were simulated in different directions on the created unit cell and the stiffness was calculated. By applying the proper failure theories, the composite strength was predicted and then critical regions of the unit cell were determined. In the next step, a micromechanical approach was also applied to estimate the same tensile features. Failure theories were also applied to predict the strength and most susceptible areas for failure phenomenon in the composite unit cell. The tensile properties of the produced composites were measured and compared with outputs of the finite element and micromechanical approaches. The results showed that the meso-scale finite element analysis approach can well predict the composite strength. In contrast, the meso-scale analytical equation model was not able to predict it acceptably because this model ignores the strain concentration. Both meso-scale finite element analysis and meso-scale analytical equation approaches predicted the similar locations for the composite failure in wale and course directions.

Abstract The paper presents a numerical study of an aircraft wheel impacting on a flexible landing surface. The proposed 3D model simulates the behaviour of flexible runway pavement during the landing phase. This model was implemented in a finite element code in order to investigate the impact of repeated cycles of loads on pavement response. In the model, a multi-layer pavement structure was considered. In addition, the asphalt layer (HMA) was assumed to follow a viscoelastoplastic behaviour. The results demonstrate the capability of the model in predicting the permanent deformation distribution in the asphalt layer.

The Difference

A sandwich-type plate with metal facings and felt core, fastened by bolts, was studied using both test and finite-element analysis. This type of plate is cheap, light, damping-effective and without pollution; therefore, it is widely used in astronautical engineering. The tests were conducted for different felt thicknesses, bolt numbers, and fastening forces. The results show that the damping depends on friction between the plates and the felt. As compared with an identical stiffness solid plate, the damping of laminated plates can be increased up to 30 times. A mesh with rectangular elements was adopted in the finite-element analysis. In accordance with the slipping mechanism, a rectangular plate clamped on one edge was analyzed with the foregoing elements to determine the resonant frequency and the damping. The difference between the calculated and tested results was within 5 percent for the resonant frequency.

The objective of this paper is to design and analyze a horizontal tank on saddle supports. The horizontal vessel is to store various chemicals used in today’s industry. The over all dimensions of the horizontal vessel are determined from the capacity of the stored chemicals. These dimensions are first determined. The design function is performed using the ASME Code Sec VIII Div 1. The horizontal tank design is broken up into (a) shell design, (b) two elliptical heads and (c) two saddle supports. The designed dimensions are used to recalculate the stresses for the horizontal vessel. The dimensioned horizontal vessel with saddle supports and the saddle support structure is modeled using STAAD III finite element software. The stresses from the finite element software are compared with the stresses obtained from calculated stresses by ASME Code Sec VIII Div 1 and L. P. Zick’s analysis printed in 1951. The difference in the stress value is explained. This paper’s main objective is to compare the code design to the finite element analysis. The design is found to be safe for the specific configuration considered.

Unsymmetric composite laminates were benefit to reducing the structure weight of some aircrafts. However, the cured unsymmetric laminates showed distortion at room temperature. Therefore, predicting the deformation before using the unsymmetrical composite is very important. In this study an attempt was made to predict the shapes of some unsymmetric cross-ply laminates using the finite element analysis (FEA). The bilinear shell-element was adopted in the process. Then the simulation results were compared with the experimental data. The studies we had performed showed that the theoretical calculation agreed well with the experimental results, the predicted shapes were similar to the real laminates, and the difference between the calculated maximum deflections and the experimental data were less than 5%. Hence the FEA method was suitable for predicting the warpage of unsymmetric laminates. The error analysis showed that the simulation results were very sensitive to the lamina thickness, 2 α and (T.
