Abstract This paper extends the finite element simulation scheme to handle the problem of tires undergoing sliding (skidding) impact into obstructions. Since the inertial characteristics are handled by the algorithm developed, the full range of operating environments can be accommodated. This includes the treatment of impacts with holes and bumps of arbitrary geometry.

The approach to total weight reduction has been a key issue for car manufacturers as they cope with more and more stringent requirements for fuel economy. In sheet metal forming, local increases in product-sheet thickness effectively contribute to reducing the total product weight. Products could be designed more efficiently if a designer could predict and control the thickness distribution of formed products. This paper describes a numerical simulation and evaluation of the material flow in local thickness increments of products formed by an ironing process. In order to clarify the mechanism of the local increase in sheet thickness, a 3-D numerical simulation of deep drawing and ironing was performed using finite-element simulation. The effects of various types of finite elements that primarily affect thickness changes in original materials and thickness prediction were investigated. It was found that the sheet-thickness distribution could be predicted if the original material was relatively thick and if an appropriate type of finite element is selected.

A 3D finite element numerical simulation was developed to investigate Casimir forces in arbitrary geometries. The code was verified comparing it with results obtained from analytical equations. Appling the simulation to previously not assessed configurations, new Casimir properties were found such as repulsive Casimir forces in groove like structures.

Abstract Ferromagnetic poles in a magnetic transmission gear require particular attention during their design process. Usually, during the numerical simulation of these devices the effects of hysteresis for loss estimation are neglected and considered only during post-processing calculations. Since the literature lacks hysteresis models, this paper adopts a homogenized hysteretic model able to include eddy current and hysteresis losses in 2D laminated materials for iron poles. In this article the results related to the hysteresis in a magnetic gear are presented and compared to the non-hysteretic approach.

Based on the finite element analysis method to simulate the O-P hardness. Taking S45C steel as an example, comparative analysis of O-P hardness of finite element simulation and O-P hardness of instrument indentation hardness experiment, results show that difference of S45C steel’s O-P hardness between the finite element simulation and real experiment is-2.62% Accordingly seen, O-P hardness can be obtained by finite element numerical simulation method, it’s a possible way to study relations between O-P hardness and Vickers hardness based on finite element numerical simulation techniques.

Ultrasonic peening treatment (UPT) has been proved to be an effective way of improving residual stresses distribution in weld structures. Thus, it shows a great potential in stress modification for metal parts fabricated by additive manufacturing technology. In this paper, an investigation into the ultrasonic treatment process of AlSi10Mg specimens fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) process was conducted by means of experimental and numerical simulation. The specimens were prepared using a SLM machine, and UPT on their top surface was carried out. The residual stresses were measured with an X-ray stress diffraction device before and after UPT. Meanwhile, a finite element simulation method for analyzing the influence of UPT on the residual stress field of specimens was proposed and validated by experiments. Firstly, the thermal mechanical coupling numerical simulation of the SLM process of the specimen was carried out in order to obtain the residual stress distribution in the as-fabricated specimen. Then, the transient dynamic finite element simulation model of the UPT process of the specimen was established, and the UPT effect analysis was implemented. In the UPT simulation, the residual stress was applied as a pre-stress on the specimen, and the specimen’s material mechanical property was described by the Johnson–Cook model, whose parameters were determined by Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) experiment. The residual stress distribution before and after UPT predicted by the finite element model agree well with the measurement results. This paper concludes with a discussion of the effects of ultrasonic peening time, as well as the frequency and amplitude of the peening needle on residual stress.
