Multiaxial fatigue criteria are applied to the analysis of helical compression springs. The critical plane approaches, Fatemi–Socie and Wang–Brown, and the Coffin–Manson method based on shear deformation, were used to predict fatigue lives of the springs under constant amplitude loading. Experimental fatigue lives are compared with the multiaxial fatigue criteria predictions. The stress analysis was carried out in the finite element code ANSYS, and the multiaxial fatigue study was performed using the fatigue software nCode. A failure analysis was conducted in order to determine the fatigue crack initiation point and a comparison of that location with the most damaged zone predicted by the numerical analysis is made. The Fatemi–Socie critical plane approach gives a good prediction of fatigue life. While the Wang–Brown criterion overestimates spring fatigue life, the Coffin–Mason model gives conservative results. 相似文献
For composites to compete in vehicle suspension applications, it is essential to control their failure by utilising their strength in principal direction instead of shear. This can be achieved efficiently by employing a new configuration instead of existing one. This study marries between an elliptical configuration and the woven roving composites.
In this paper, the influence of ellipticity ratio on performance of woven roving wrapped composite elliptical springs has been investigated both experimentally and numerically. A series of experiments was conducted for composite elliptical springs with ellipticity ratios (a/b) ranging from one to two. Typical failure histories of their failure mechanism are presented and discussed. In general, this study demonstrated that composites elliptical spring can be used for light and heavy trucks and meet the requirements, together with substantial weight saving. The results showed that the ellipticity ratio significantly influenced the spring rate and failure loads. Composite elliptic spring with ellipticity ratios of a/b 2.0 displayed the highest spring rate. 相似文献

Usually many researchers have used the modified Hertzian contact law or experimental static indentation law to analyze impact response of composite laminates subjected to low-velocity impact. In this study, physical meaning of the analytical method using the laws was investigated and the difference between the analytical results obtained using the two laws was also investigated. Furthermore parametric study on contact coefficient and exponent of the contact law was performed. Finally it could be shown that linearized contact law could be well applied to the low-velocity impact analysis of composite laminates. If this concept is used, any general-purpose finite element method software can be used to solve impact problem without direct developing any FEM code by each researcher. In this paper, some analytical results analyzed using a general-purpose commercial FEM software were also presented. 相似文献
