Numerical simulation of typical contact situations of brake friction materials

In the paper, a model typical for contact situations of automotive brakes is established based on the method of movable cellular automata. The processes taking place at local contacts in an automotive brake system are analysed. Based on microscopic and micro-analytical observations, the following contact situations were simulated: (i) a couple of ferritic steel against pearlitic steel, both covered by an oxide layer mixed with graphite nanoparticles and (ii) the same situation but without oxide layers. The results of calculated mean coefficients of friction of the oxide-on-oxide contact correspond well to expected values for a real braking system, whereas steel-on-steel contact are twice as high. This allows one to make some conclusions; for example, oxide formation will take place more quickly than friction layer elimination, and finally this is responsible for the stabilisation of the coefficient of friction.     

Simulation of Strength Distribution in Ground Ceramics by Incorporating Residual Stress Effect

Strength of ground ceramics may be affected by residual stress as well as surface flaws induced by grinding. Strength prediction for ground ceramics is convenient for mechanical design of ceramic components. In this article, a numerical procedure based on fracture mechanics was proposed to estimate strength distribution of ground ceramics by considering grinding-induced residual stress. Bending strength and residual stress of ground ceramics were measured for three grinding-conditions. By comparison of simulated results with experimental ones, it was revealed that strength characteristics in experiments were well simulated by using the proposed procedure.

Simulations of the mobile phase of polyethylene

Results are presented from atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of the mobile pseudo-hexagonal phase of polyethylene, which occurs under conditions of elevated pressure and temperature. Three different types of model are considered, all of which employ periodic boundary conditions. The first model consists of n-alkane sequences (48×-C₂₄H₄₈-) that are bonded across the simulation box boundaries to produce chains that are effectively infinite in extent. On heating, at high pressure, this system displays a rotator phase, in which the chains retain an all-trans conformation, and rotate as semi-rigid units. A second model, consisting of finite n-alkanes (48×C₂₄H₅₀) displays the same behaviour at low temperatures, but at high temperature and pressure forms a conformationally disordered rotator phase, characterised by a large proportion of gauche defects and a significant lattice expansion. The final model considered contains long n-alkanes (24×C₁₀₂H₂₀₆) which contain jog defects and each pass twice through the simulation box. This model forms a conformationally disordered rotator phase at high temperature and ambient pressure. The behaviour of the three models, in terms of the variations in chain conformation and rotational and translational dynamics, are compared. The conformationally disordered phases provide useful representations of the experimentally observed mobile phase.     

A framework of virtual prototyping environment for the design and analysis of mechanical mechanism with clearance

Mechanical mechanisms with clearance abound in technological fields such as robotics, machine and steam turbine industry. The dynamic performance of these mechanisms in working condition can be achieved provided that the effects of the different on the mechanisms (such as mechanism dynamics, technological effects and thermal behaviour) are thoroughly understood. Virtual prototyping provides an integration of multi-domain dynamic simulation for the design and analysis process. In the current paper, a framework of virtual prototyping environment for the design and analysis of mechanical mechanism with clearance is presented. A case study with such a simulation strategy is studied for the optimum design and analysis of the technological parameter.

SIMULATION STUDIES OF THE REMOVAL OF WATER FROM ETHANOL BY A CATALYTIC DISTILLATION PROCESS

A new approach based on catalytic distillation (CD) technology was proposed to remove water from ethanol. Isobutylene was introduced to react with water in the CD column. The commercial software simulation tool Aspen Plus was used to investigate the effects of key design factors such as operating pressure and temperature, reactant ratios, reflux and distillate to feed ratios, number of separation and reaction stages, and feed and reaction zone location. It was found that the CD technology offers potential advantages of reduced energy consumption and reduced capital cost over traditional approaches for the removal of water from ethanol.
