In order to improve the calculation of stiffness and damping coefficients (SDC) for hydrodynamic systems, this paper proposes the consideration of both static and dynamic deformations of the running surface. Dynamic deformations are caused by rotor vibration and corresponding unbalanced forces. A lubrication wedge was used to exemplify the significant influence of these dynamic deformations in SDC calculations. This basic hydrodynamic system was calculated considering material elasticity. First of all, an influence coefficient matrix, which describes the correlation of pressure and deformation, was calculated with the finite element program ANSYS. Using this matrix, small dynamic deformations of the running surface were considered in solving the Reynolds equation for the lubrication wedge. The analysis of the vibration response of this basic hydrodynamic system considering elastic material deformation demonstrated that both static and dynamic components of deflection significantly affect the SDC. These coefficients were also proved to be highly dependent on the stimulation frequency.

Film Profile

Two mathematical models for the nonlinear hydrodynamic film forces in a finite bearing are developed including a practical adaptation of the cavitation phenomenon. Using the linearity of the Reynolds equation for incompressible film, the pressure components are effectively decomposed and the Reynolds equation is rearranged for general solution by a finite element program in which only the L/d ratio and the eccentricity ratio are to be specified. The different possibilities of partial film profile location in a general dynamic case are demonstrated. The two partial film models possess the required accuracy of the finite bearing approach with the simplicity of the known long and short bearing approximations which are shown as the upper and lower bounds for the present case. The finite bearing approach presented are particularly suitable for nonlinear dynamic analysis.

In this paper, an algorithm based on the network method suggested by Oppenheim for calculating the radiative heat flow in a cavity of structural members, say hollow core concrete slabs, exposed to fires is presented. It is assumed that the pressure in a cavity keeps atmospheric pressure through the whole cause of a fire, and the lost heat from the air due to expansion and immediate moving away from a cavity is neglected. The heat in a cavity is transfer via both heat conduction in air and thermal radiation among boundaries, and special regard is paid to modeling heat transfer by radiation. The effective radiative heat flow system of equations is derived and expressed in matrix form. The system of equations features a symmetric coefficient matrix, which can be stored in a one dimensional array, and can be solved using LDLT factorization. Node radiative thermal loads are calculated from effective radiative heat flows at edges of elements located on internal cavities. The nonlinear finite element program TFIELD written by first author has employed the new algorithm. Temperature distribution in two structural members with cavities are calculated using TFIELD, and numerical results demonstrate that the new algorithm is very effective and is useful for further study of structural behavior of structural members under fire conditions.

Gas Seals

A finite element method enabling the Reynolds equation solution for any face geometry of gas thrust bearing or of gas seal is presented. Difficulties due to thickness discontinuities are reduced by integration by parts of the terms involving derivatives. The weak form of the finite element Reynolds equation is then solved and the nonlinearity of the equation leads to the use of Newton-Raphson procedure. The process is fast convergent. The problem of oscillating solution is solved by the use of an upwind procedure. Some numerical examples show the accuracy and efficiency of the procedures. It is shown that the developed finite element program provides a numerical tool, more efficient than the method used until now, for the grooved gas seals design.

Maximum Contact

Influences of hard particles lying in the lubrication region between piston ring face and cylinder wall, including the effects of a non-contact particle and contact particle, on tribological performances of the piston ringwere numerically analysed. A modified Reynolds equation incorporating a non-contact particle effect was presented. The total friction force, deformation, and contact stress of the ring, with a non-contact particle and contact particle consideration, were solved separately by using finite-element program code of the authors and software ANSYS 5.7. The numerical results show that obvious changes in the total friction force and deformation of the ring can occur, if the diameter and height across the film thickness of a non-contact particle and axial velocity difference between the non-contact particle and ring are considered. The maximum contact stress of the ring is obviously affected by the contact particle's interfering time and velocity, and hardness value of the plastically deformed particle.

The present work deals with the computation of surface stresses and deformation in the presence of friction. The evaluation of the elastic-plastic contact is analyzed revealing three distinct stages that range from fully elastic through elastic-plastic to fully plastic contact interface. Several factors of sliding friction model are discussed: surface roughness, mechanical properties and contact load and areas that have strong effect on the friction force. The critical interference that marks the transition from elastic to elastic- plastic and plastic deformation is found out and its connection with plasticity index. A finite element program for determination contact analysis of the assembled details and due to details of deformation that arose a normal and tangencial stress is used.

The Impact

ABSTRACT The fracture field of coal and rock mass is the main channel for gas migration and accumulation. Exploring the evolution law of fracture field of coal and rock mass under the condition of drilling and slitting construction has important theoretical significance for guiding efficient gas drainage. The generation and evolution process of coal and rock fissures is also the development and accumulation process of its damage. Therefore, based on damage mechanics and finite element theory, the mathematical model is established. The damage variable of coal mass is defined by effective strain, the elastoplastic damage constitutive equation is established and the secondary development of finite element program is completed by FORTRAN language. Using this program, the numerical simulation of drilling and slitting construction of the 15-14120 mining face of Pingdingshan No. 8 Mine is carried out, and the effects of different single borehole diameters, different kerf widths and different kerf heights on the distribution area of surrounding coal fracture field and the degree of damage are studied quantitatively. These provide a theoretical basis for the reasonable determination of the slitting and drilling arrangement parameters at the engineering site.
