In this paper, a fast Fourier transforms (FFT)-based spectral analysis method (SAM) is proposed for the dynamic analysis of spectral element models subjected to the non-zero initial conditions. To evaluate the proposed SAM, the spectral element model for the simply supported Bernoulli-Euler beam is considered as an example problem. The accuracy of the proposed SAM is evaluated by comparing the dynamic responses obtained by SAM with the exact analytical solutions.

Abstract For semiconductor lasers, fiber and optical source alignment is crucial for maintaining high optical transfer efficiency. Traditional optoelectronic manufacturing, production of butterfly packages for example, involves laser welding of fiber mountings followed by a tedious realignment procedure to reverse thermally-induced distortions. An alternate technique, laser hammering, entails manipulation of the fiber to light alignment through deformation of the fiber housing with high precision laser beams. A detailed understanding of the material and mechanical behavior, characteristics, and dynamic response is vital to successfully apply an efficient controller that can choose an optimal weld pattern based on a light to fiber misalignment. Modeling provides an effective means to determine an optimal fiber alignment control technique. Modeling is difficult due to the dynamic thermal-mechanical coupling of these processes. This paper presents the preliminary results of a series of parametric studies regarding thermal-mechanical coupling models employed in finite element analysis in order to assess the behavior and dynamic response of representative materials and geometries under various boundary conditions. Fiber ferrule and ferrule housing dimensions affect resistance to bending and torsion, which in turn governs the magnitude of the displacement field. The models are then applied to geometries typical of alignment fixtures used in laser diode packages. The effects of laser energy deposition location and resolution as well as assumed boundary and initial conditions are also discussed. Convection and the small variations in ferule geometry do not have a strong effect on the overall response.

The aim of this paper is to develop means to predict accurately the residual stresses due to quenching process of an UIC60 rail. A 3-D non-linear stress analysis model has been applied to estimate stress fields of an UIC60 rail in the quenching process. A cooling mechanism with water spray is simulated applying the elastic-plastic finite element analysis for the rail. The 3-D finite element analysis results of the studies presented in this paper are needed to describe the initial conditions for analyses of how the service conditions may act to change the as-manufactured stress field.

The Finite Element Analysis

Using hot aggregates, in concrete production, results in a drop in compressive strength of the produced concrete. Various methods have been proposed for cooling concrete aggregates. This paper proposes a new design for a conveyor system for cooling the aggregates during hot seasons. Simulation of the heat flow during the cooling process over the conveyor is analyzed with the objective of understanding the effect of the various design parameters and achieving minimum cooling time with the least possible power. A finite element model for the new design is proposed and discussed. Challenges facing numerical simulation are addressed in this paper. The results of the finite element analysis of the new design are presented for various initial conditions and cooling rates.
