Dynamic analysis of electromagnetic sheet metal forming process using finite element method

This paper presents a simple and efficient method for the analysis of dynamic behavior of the workpiece in the electromagnetic forming process. A two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric finite element model with the equations of electrical equivalent circuit, electromagnetic field, and mechanical field has been developed for calculating the discharge currents through the forming coil, the magnetic forces acting on the workpiece, and the plastic deformation of the workpiece. By considering the effects of the sheet geometry and velocity on the above parameters, the method realizes the full coupling between the electromagnetic fields and the workpiece deformation, which should be more accurate than the existing loose coupling and sequential coupling simulation methods.     

Dynamic analysis of a car chassis frame using the finite element method

An automobile chassis structure has been analysed dynamically using the finite element method, and the results have been compared with those obtained experimentally. The first nine natural resonances of the frame up to 100 Hz have been examined.

Two basic methods of predicting the dynamic response have been used involving different computing techniques. Since computing costs are of prime importance in any practical application of the finite element method, the modes of operation of the programs have been briefly described and running times are compared for a number of structural idealizations.

The results presented show for a relatively simple structure that simple idealization concepts can give good results.

Dynamic finite element method for generally laminated composite beams

A dynamic finite element method for free vibration analysis of generally laminated composite beams is introduced on the basis of first-order shear deformation theory. The influences of Poisson effect, couplings among extensional, bending and torsional deformations, shear deformation and rotary inertia are incorporated in the formulation. The dynamic stiffness matrix is formulated based on the exact solutions of the differential equations of motion governing the free vibration of generally laminated composite beam. The effects of Poisson effect, material anisotropy, slender ratio, shear deformation and boundary condition on the natural frequencies of the composite beams are studied in detail by particular carefully selected examples. The numerical results of natural frequencies and mode shapes are presented and, whenever possible, compared to those previously published solutions in order to demonstrate the correctness and accuracy of the present method.

A study on the dynamic characteristics of the Korean Yi-dynasty bell type structure

The dynamic characteristics of the Korean Yi-dynasty bell type structure, including the acoustic effects, are analyzed both theoretically and experimentally. The numerical solutions of natural frequencies and mode shape for membrane and flexural behavior are obtained by using the NASTRAN program for the finite element method with plate shell elements of triangular and quadrilateral types. Test bells, A and B types similar to the Kap-Sa bell in Kong-Ju chosen among typical Korean Yi-dynasty bells, are manufactured on different scales to the original bell. To consider the effects of the variation of the structural dimension on the dynamic response, these bells are analyzed with respect to the variation of the thickness of the wall and the bottom rim and the asymmetric Dang-Jwas. The impact method with the Fast Fourier Transform Analyzer is adopted to experimentally assess the dynamic response. Results are in good agreement with the numerical solutions.     

Dynamic analysis of an axially moving beam subject to inner pressure using finite element method

A dynamic model of an axially moving flexible beam subject to an inner pressure is present. The coupling principle between a flexible beam and inner pressure is analyzed first, and the potential energy of the inner pressure due to the beam bending is derived using the principle of virtual work. A 1D hollow beam element contain inner pressure is established. The finite element method and Lagrange’s equation are used to derive the motion equations of the axially moving system. The dynamic responses are analyzed by Newmark-β time integration method. Based on the computed dynamic responses, the effects of inner pressure on beam dynamics are discussed. Some interesting phenomenon is observed.     

Microscopic approach of powder compaction using finite element method

An approach for simulating microscopic densification behaviour of powder particles in compaction using a finite element method is proposed. In this method, the contacts between powder particles during the compaction are detected, and plastic deformation of the particles is calculated by the finite element method for a porous metal. The finite element mesh is generated by connecting the centres of the particles in contact. It is assumed that the finite elements are porous metals having an average relative density calculated from the volumes of the powder and pore inside the element. The elements are classified into the triangular and quadrilateral ones used in the conventional finite element methods and a linear one for the simple compression. The accuracy of the stiffness for plastic deformation of the particles is improved by applying the finite element method. The calculated plastic deformation of powder particles in plane-strain compaction is compared with that for a model experiment using aluminium rods.

Vibro-acoustic analysis of free piston engine structure using finite element and boundary element methods

This paper presents the results of vibro-acoustic modeling and simulation using the finite element and the boundary element methods for the free piston engine structure. A model of the engine was constructed through the use of finite element software to perform a normal mode analysis of the engine structure. The objective was to determine the mode shapes and the natural frequency that contribute to engine structure vibration. Theoretical development of the engine balance motion and frequency response was also conducted. From the simulation and finite element analysis, the force response pattern of the engine vibration was determined and then compared with its natural frequency. The vibration data were used as the input data for noise analysis using the boundary element method. The integration of the finite element and the boundary element determined the noise-frequency data of the engine structure toward the occurrence of engine noise. The information can be used by designers to analyze engine specifications and structure, especially at the preliminary design stage.

Investigations of friction stir welding process using finite element method

The aim of this study is to investigate the process of friction stir welding (FSW) by using finite element method (FEM). Currently, the materials that are difficult to be joined with conventional fusion methods can now be easily joined with the method of friction stir welding. In this paper, the welding capability of many different materials with this method has been investigated by using analytical and numeric methods. In this study, a finite element (FE) model was developed for welding process with friction stir welding of AZ31 magnesium alloy. This model was performed by the software of DEFORM 3D finite element in 960, 1,964, and 2,880 rpm rotational speeds and in 10 and 20 mm?min^?1 transverse speeds. The temperature values taken from experiments and the temperature values with FEM are compared, and according to these results, it can be stated that the FE model gives reasonable results with experimental results based on temperatures values. Hence, the FE model can be used to predict other parameters of FSW process in future studies.

Fretting fatigue life prediction using the extended finite element method

In this work, an efficient procedure to predict fatigue lives in fretting fatigue problems is presented. This is accomplished by means of a combined initiation-propagation approach in which the extended finite element method (X-FEM) is used. The procedure is verified by modelling several fretting fatigue tests available in the literature. The application of the X-FEM enables to numerically evaluate the stress intensity factors (SIFs) for cracks of different lengths emanating at the end of the contact zone and to estimate the propagation life corresponding to each of the tests. This propagation life is combined with the initiation life calculated using a multiaxial fatigue criterion (Fatemi-Socie). The predicted lives are then compared with the reported experimental lives, showing that the consideration of the crack-contact interaction through the numerical models tends to improve the life estimation when compared with a fully analytical approach. The procedure can be applied to more general fretting problems for which analytical solutions are not available.
