Analysing Random Vibration of KLT Box during Transporting by Finite Element Method

Today, freight is an extremely important industry for the world we are living. Fast transportation, large volume...will optimize the cost, time and effort. Besides, ensuring the products safety is a matter of concern. During transporting, it is inevitable that the vibration caused by the engine, rough road surface...the cargo inside can be damaged. Automobile industries have prime importance to vibration testing. Sine vibration testing is performed when we have been given with only one frequency at given time instant. Trend to perform random vibration testing has been increased in recent times. As random vibration considers all excited frequencies in defined spectrum at known interval of time, it gives real-time data of vibration severities. The vibration severity is expressed in terms of Power Spectral Density (PSD). KLT box is an industrial stacking container conforming to the VDA 4500 standard that was defined by German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) for the automotive industry. The aim of this paper is study about random vibration and power spectral density analysis, how it can be used to predict the impact of hash road to the KLT box on container / truck during transportation. Finite element model is developed in ANSYS, modal analysis and random vibration analysis were done.

Parametric Random Vibration Analysis of an Axially Moving Laminated Shape Memory Alloy Beam Based on Monte Carlo Simulation

The study of the bifurcation, random vibration, chaotic dynamics, and control of laminated composite beams are research hotspots. In this paper, the parametric random vibration of an axially moving laminated shape memory alloy (SMA) beam was investigated. In light of the Timoshenko beam theory and taking into consideration axial motion effects and axial forces, a random dynamic equation of laminated SMA beams was deduced. The Falk’s polynomial constitutive model of SMA was used to simulate the nonlinear random dynamic behavior of the laminated beam. Additionally, the numerical of the probability density function and power spectral density curves was obtained through the Monte Carlo simulation. The results indicated that the large amplitude vibration character of the beam can be caused by random perturbation on axial velocity.
