Compliance with the rules and regulations of competition “Student Formula Car Racing” that conducted annually by the ‘Society of Automotive Engineers’ (SAE) India, the car frame must be designed and built with supreme priority. The major task posed is to design and fabricate a light weighed vehicle chassis frame without compensating the safety. This paper boards various methods of material selection, technical design optimization and Finite Element Analysis using ANSYS. The basic design is based on the anthropological study data of the specified human (95th percentile male) al-lowing fast ‘way-in’ and ‘way-out’ access from the car. According to the rules book specification on material selection, AISI 4130 chromoly steel was the first time identified for the frame design. Resulting in the final design of the vehicle frame, various analyses were done using ANSYS and the successive results are plotted and discussed. The entire design optimization and simulation analysis are based on the 2019 Formula SAE rules book. Keywords: finite element analysis, AISI 4130 chromoly steel, frame construction, Society of Automotive Engineers.

Abstract Vibration performance is a critical factor in the design of automotive rearview mirrors. Because of the complexities involved in the structure of the rearview mirror, its mounting location on the vehicle and its operational conditions, design optimization from finite element analysis is a necessary procedure in order to obtain good vibration response and reduce costs. This paper summarizes the results for design optimization and material selection from finite element analysis (FEA) conclusions. The finite element analysis results indicated that design optimization is very important in the final performance of part vibration and deformation. For design innovations that reduce parts count, decrease costs, and preserve or improve product quality, it may be a critical factor to utilize higher performance composites in place of more traditional materials. Several materials are studied with regard to their properties and dynamic performances. The results could help to achieve cost reduction in part design and to obtain design optimization for current and future programs.

In order to study the performance of concrete frame columns that reinforcedby assembleinclined web steel truss, with the same reciprocatinghorizontal displacement and different axialcompression.It canbe calculate the mechanical behavior of concrete frame columns and reinforced columns by using the finite element analysis software ABAQUS. Simulation analysis shows that the bearing capacity ofreinforced columnshas greatly increased andpresented a full hysteresis curve. The result shows that the reinforcement method of assemble inclined web steel truss can greatly improve the bearing capacity and ductility of the concrete frame column, and the axial compression is larger, the better the reinforcement effect.

It is a complex problem to study the interaction between sand castle and flowing water, which needs to consider the complexity of seawater flow and the stress of sand castle structure. The authors use the fluid-solid coupling model to establish the connection between the fluid field and the structural mechanical field, and use the finite element analysis to complete the simulation modeling of the transient process of wave impact and sandcastle foundation deformation. This paper analyzes the stress and the first principal strain of the sand castle foundation in the direction of flow velocity when the sand castle foundation is hit by waves, as a method to judge the strength of the sand castle.The best shape: the boundary value of sand castle collapse caused by strain have been determined, so as to obtain the maximum stress that a sand castle foundation can bear before collapse, which makes it possible to use the fatigue strength calculation theory of sand castle solid to carry out the quantitative calculation of sand castle durability. At the same time, the impact of waves is abstracted as wave motion equation. Finally, the finite element analysis technology is adopted to calculate the main strain of sandcastles of different shapes under the impact of the same wave, and through the comparison of the main strain, the authors get the sandcastle shape with the strongest anti-wave impact ability, which is the eccentric circular platform body.Affected by rain: the authors considered the effect of rainwater infiltration on the sandcastle's stress, and simplified the process of rain as a continuous and uniform infiltration of rain into the sandcastle's surface. The rain changes the gravity of the sand on the castle's surface. Simulation analysis is adopted to calculate the surface stress of sand castle with different degree of water seepage and different geometry. By comparison, it has been found that the smooth cone is more able to withstand the infiltration of rain without collapse.

In recent years, with the enhancement of overall national strength in China, the computer simulation technology has been developed rapidly and widely applied to engineering construction. Particularly, investment proportion of the technology in deep foundation pit engineering is immense. Yet affected by national conditions in China, the construction and application of deep foundation pit engineering have many extensive factors. It also results in insufficient vigor of finite element analysis of deep foundation pit support construction. In this way, construction problems arise frequently under the condition that there exist buildings around. With some deep foundation pit support engineering, the thesis conducts simulation analysis of the engineering through the technology of nonlinear three-dimensional finite element.Project profile

We are developing a new solution for wide I/O package on package applications, which is Bond Via Array (BVA) technology. The prototype vehicle built in this study has 1020 I/O's at a pitch of 0.24 mm with a high aspect ratio of approximately 10:1 and is ≤1.4 mm tall. PoP applications require large bandwidth and thinner packages challenging package developers to address warpage control for high yield processes. The design optimization of this package was established through rigorous finite element analysis of materials selection and structural modifications. The simulation methodology was validated by measuring the warpage as a function of temperature for the experimental prototypes. The details for the simulation and verification processes for the wide I/O process will be discussed. The variation between finite element analysis predictions and the experimental builds was ~10%, which allowed us to complete package design optimization with our simulation tools. The prototype build includes a standard and a low CTE substrate.
