Steel Trusses

The purpose of this research was to study the behavior of cold-formed steel cantilever truss structures. A cantilever truss structure and bolt-moment connection were tested and verified by the 3D-finite element model. The verification results showed a good correlation between an experimental test and finite element analysis. An analytical method for elastic rotational stiffness of bolt-moment connection was proposed. The equation proposed in the analytical method was used to approximate the elastic rotational stiffness of the bolt group connection, and was also applied to the Richard-Abbott model for generating the nonlinear moment-rotation curve which modeled the semi-rigid connection stiffness. The 2D-finite element analysis was applied to study the behavior of the truss connection, caused by semi-rigid connection stiffness which caused a change of force to the truss elements. The results showed that the force in the structural members increased by between 13.62%-74.32% of the axial forces, and the bending moment decreased by between 33.05%-100%. These results strongly suggest that the semi-rigid connection between cold-formed steel cantilever truss structures should be considered in structural analysis to achieve optimum design, acknowledging this as the real behavior of the structure.

Pulley strain aggravated whole-Part abrasion, affected friction and lubricates state of metal belt continuously variable transmission. Pulley strain was analyzed by analytical method and finite element analysis. The results indicate that with the increase of transmission ratio, the driver pulley compressive strain is increases after reduces for a while, and the driven pulley increase. Compressive strain dense when radius is lesser and vice versa. Two methods results are basically the same, whereby demonstrating that the model is rational and that the analysis results are reliable.

Assessment Approach

Stability of a gantry crane was a challenge in its structure design. A new risk-based stability assessment approach was proposed in this paper. Analytical method was introduced firstly, and then finite element method was adopted to evaluate the stability of square bar. In order to verify the finite element models, results of buckling analysis were compared with the results of analytical method. Secondly, this finite element analysis was applied in stability assessment of a gantry crane, and through parameterized analysis risk elements were identified. Finally, risk-based stability assessment was applied to this gantry crane, and neural network algorithm was adopted to evaluate the risk elements which were defined by finite element analysis. The evaluating results were well consistetent with statistical data, which indicated this risk-based stability assessment approach was reliable which showed a potential in engineering application.

Pull-in effect is a common phenomenon during anodic bonding, a key step in thefabrication processes of capacitive sensors and actuators. To assist the designs and fabrications ofthese transducers, this paper presents an analytical method for modelling the pull-in effect duringanodic bonding. The pull-in effect model was verified by finite element analysis and a verificationexperiment respectively. The verification results indicate that the analytical method for modellingthe pull-in effect during anodic bonding is capable for predicting pull-in voltages of anodicallybonded capacitive sensors and actuators in a universal and practical manner without any additionalfabrication process.

Analytical Result

Non-prismatic beams are extensively used for many engineering application. Due to varying section, deflection analysis becomes very complex. Loading condition also makes the whole theory complex. This paper shows analytical analysis for the deflection of trapezoidal sectorial section with uniformly perpendicular loading condition. The method illustrated is comparatively easy and can be applied for the similar other sections as well. Analytical method is validated using Finite Element Analysis using Creo Simulation which shows good amount of match with analytical result.

In machines that handle flexible media with flat belts, it is necessary to prevent belt skew for the machines to operate at higher precision and maximum efficiency. However, the skewing mechanism has not yet been clarified. Therefore, in order to establish a method that could be used to analyse the skew of a flat belt, a simulation system is developed using a commercial finite element code (MARC). Also, the skew mechanism in two- and three-roller systems is also studied through simulations and clarified to show that the skew rate equals the spiral angle of the belt wrapping around the roller. Moreover, it is found that a steering roller that is set in an optimal position is needed to reduce belt skew efficiently. The analytical method and the findings from this study are useful in designing any flat-belt mechanism.

Separation Force

In this study, a new analytical method to calculate the assembly force and separation force of cantilever hook type snap-fit was proposed. Finite element analysis and experimental measurement were performed to verify the new approach. It was found out that the conventional analytical method had a few limitations. The solution was only applicable when the retention face angle was small, and there existed a critical value of retention face angle where separation force unreasonably decreased with increase in deflection. The new approach considered large deflection of retention feature and resultant moment term in addition to the previous method, and the solution was obtained explicitly. The new analytical solution could be applied to large face angles without any divergence, and showed good agreement with finite element analysis results. When the face angle was relatively small, both conventional method and new method showed reasonable results; however, when the angle was large, only the new analytical method showed reasonable results. Experimental investigations of forces during assembly and separation showed that the measured forces were much smaller than the predicted values by analytical methods and finite element analysis. The forces were strongly dependent on the rigidity of the mating part and the magnitude of radius at the edges of beam and mating parts. It was found from experiment that the separation force nonlinearly increased as clearance decreased.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of geometric variables on the bolt load distributions of a cold-formed steel bolt connection. The study was conducted using an experimental test, finite element analysis, and an analytical method. The experimental study was performed using single-lap shear testing of a concentrically loaded bolt connection fabricated from G550 cold-formed steel. Finite element analysis with shell elements was used to model the cold-formed steel plate while solid elements were used to model the bolt fastener for the purpose of studying the structural behavior of the bolt connections. Material nonlinearities, contact problems, and a geometric nonlinearity procedure were used to predict the failure behavior of the bolt connections. The analytical method was generated using the spring model. The bolt-plate interaction stiffness was newly proposed which was verified by the experiment and finite element model. It was applied to examine the effect of geometric variables on the single-column multibolt connection. The effects were studied of varying bolt diameter, plate thickness, and the plate thickness ratio (t2/t1) on the bolt load distribution. The results of the parametric study showed that thet2/t1ratio controlled the efficiency of the bolt load distribution more than the other parameters studied.
