Stress And Deformation

ANSYS is used as the finite element computing platform to analysis a certain type of bus body frame under four load conditions of bending conditions, reversing conditions, the bending and torsion conditions and the emergency braking conditions. The constraints and load approach in the four conditions are given in this paper. A certain type of bus body skeleton program and the finite element analysis are conduct. The result shows that: (1) Bus body frame changing brings the re-distribution of the stress, making the overall stress and deformation of the body skeleton relatively uniform. (2) The improved program makes more than 250KG weight losing of the body frame and the changing location of the maximum deformation under the bending conditions. The maximum bending deform increased is only 8.92%.

Abstract This paper analyzes the change of brake torque during normal stop and emergency braking of elevator. Taking the permanent magnet synchronous elevator traction machine as an example, the mechanical characteristics of the brake wheel and brake shoe on the brake under emergency braking are analyzed. According to the finite element analysis and calculation results, the impact and stress of the elevator are the largest at the moment of emergency braking, reaching 270.3MPa, and the strain increases gradually. The analysis results can provide reference for the design and verification of brake wheel and brake shoe of elevator traction machine.

Abstract A Finite Element Analysis was performed on the critical section of a titanium alloy femoral implant coupled with a cobalt-chromium Dall-Miles Cable Grip System (DMCGS). The critical section of the implant is defined at the hole where the wires of the DMCGS are threaded. Two models were generated for the analysis. The first model consisted of the critical section with a cobalt-chromium plug filled in at the hole. The second model consisted of the critical section without the plug in the hole. The models used in the study were based on a design developed by Howmedica Incorporated (called the “head-neck replacement”). One static simulation was performed on each model. This simulation represented the early stance phase of normal walking. The wires used in the simulations were pre-tensioned. The preliminary results of the analysis showed that the stresses in the model with the added plug were lower than those in the model without the plug. This indicated that a plug added to a femoral implant adjoined with the Dall-Miles Cable Grip System reduces the stress concentrations at the hole. Furthermore, the results of the study will provide insight into the modifications on design of femoral implants. This may well lead to an improvement in implant performance and better aid in the restoration of hip function for arthritic patients.

The front axle is an important part of a car, directly affects the dynamic characteristics of car. Based on UG NX6.0 for automobile front axle parts 3D modeling, finite element analysis software ANSYS modal analysis was carried out on the front axle, and extract their first four order natural frequency and vibration mode shapes, the automobile front axle structure stress analysis and stress distribution nephogram of get parts. Analysis of the impact load condition and emergency braking conditions modal analysis, and further to fatigue analysis of the front axle bridge shell, for provide valuable reference data for the reasonable design of parts. For the kinetics of further research and improvement of front axle provides the theoretical basis, but also provides reference to the actual test.
