Flattening Process

Abstract The section flattening phenomenon (namely Bazier effect) will occur in the large bending deformation stage of thin-walled pipe in the continuous straightening process. The maximum section flattening amount and the residual section flattening amount are important process parameters, which are the basis for calculating the subsequent process parameters of the flattening circle, and directly determine the roundness of the final pipe and the product quality. However, it is hard to be obtained by the theoretical or experimental methods. Therefore, based on the structure and process parameters of the leveler, a finite element model was built to simulate the section flattening process. Then, ANSYS/LS-DYNA software was used to dynamically simulate the bending flattening phenomenon of thin-walled pipe in the continuous straightening process, and the stress and strain nephographic of the flattening deformation zone was obtained. By recording the position curve of the key nodes in the preventing process, the section flattening amount of the thin-walled pipe in the large bending deformation stage in the continuous straightening process was determined. The simulation results show that the dynamic simulation method can effectively predict the section flattening of thin-walled pipe in the process of continuous straightening.

Aerodynamic Performances

The engine/airframe interaction effects of the BWB300 on aerodynamic performances were analyzed by using the numerical simulation method. The BWB300 is a 300-seat Blended Wing Body airplane designed by the Airplane Concept Design Institute of Northwestern Polytechnical University. The engine model used for simulation was simplified as a powered nacelle. The results indicated the following: at high speed, although the engine/airframe interaction effects on the aerodynamic forces were not significant, the airframe’s upper surface flow was greatly changed; at low speed, the airframe’s aerodynamic forces (of the airplane with/without the engine) were greatly different, especially at high attack angles, i.e., the effect of the engine suction caused the engine configuration aerodynamic forces of the airframe to be bigger than those without the engine; and the engine’s installation resulting in the different development of flow separation at the airframe’s upper surface caused greater obvious differences between the 2 configurations at high angles and low speed. Moreover, at low-speed high attack angles, the separated flow from the blended area caused serious distortion at the fan inlet of the engine.

The aim of the work is to develop an experimental and numerical approach to study the deformation of a surface attached bubble in shear flow of a viscous liquid. The numerical method is based on the boundary element method for Stokes flow. For the experimental study of bubble dynamics, the optical microscopy and high-speed recording are used. We studied the dynamics of the receding and advancing contact angles depending on the intensity of the shear flow of a viscous liquid. We obtained a qualitative and quantitative agreement between the results of numerical simulation and experiment for various capillary numbers.

To solve the problem of the effective cushioning of fast-moving mechanical components in small ring-shaped spaces, the factors affecting the compression and energy absorption properties of small-sized hollow metal tubes were studied. Simulation models were constructed to analyse the influences of tube diameter, wall thickness, relative position, and number of stacked components on the compression and energy absorption properties. The correctness of the simulation method and its output were verified by experiments, which proved the effectiveness of compression and energy absorption properties of small-sized thin-walled metal tubes. The research provides support for the application of metal tube buffers in armament launch technology and engineering practice.

Rail Traffic

In this paper, an improved real-time control model based on the discrete-time method is constructed to control and simulate the movement of high-speed trains on large-scale rail network. The constraints of acceleration and deceleration are introduced in this model, and a more reasonable definition of the minimal headway is also presented. Considering the complicated rail traffic environment in practice, we propose a set of sound operational strategies to excellently control traffic flow on rail network under various conditions. Several simulation experiments with different parameter combinations are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the control simulation method. The experimental results are similar to realistic environment and some characteristics of rail traffic flow are also investigated, especially the impact of stochastic disturbances and the minimal headway on the rail traffic flow on large-scale rail network, which can better assist dispatchers in analysis and decision-making. Meanwhile, experimental results also demonstrate that the proposed control simulation method can be in real-time control of traffic flow for high-speed trains not only on the simple rail line, but also on the complicated large-scale network such as China’s high-speed rail network and serve as a tool of simulating the traffic flow on large-scale rail network to study the characteristics of rail traffic flow.

This study adopts the DMT(dynamic mesh technology) and UDF(user defined functions) co-simulation method to study the dynamic characteristics of aerostatic thrust bearings with equalizing grooves and compare with the bearing without equalizing groove under high speed or ultra high speed for the first time. The effects of air film thicness, supply pressure, rotation speed, perturbation amplitude, perturbation frequency, and cross section of the groove on performance characteristics of aerostatic thrust bearing are thoroughly investigated. The results show that the dynamic stiffiness and damping coefficient of the bearing with triangular or trapezoidal groove have obvious advantages by comparing with that of the bearing without groove or with rectangular groove for the most range of air film thickness, supply pressure, rotation speed, perturbation amplitude, especially in the case of high frequency, which may be due to the superposition of secondary throttling effect and air compressible effect. While the growth range of dynamic stiffness decreases in the case of high or ultra-high rotation speed, which may be because the Bernoulli effect started to appear. The perturbation amplitude only has little influence on the dynamic characteristic when it is small, but with the increase of perturbation amplitude, the influence becomes more obvious and complex, especially for downsized aerostatic bearing.

The Impact

The impact of a spherical water drop onto a water surface has been studied experimentally with the aid of a 35 mm drum camera giving high-resolution images that provided qualitative and quantitative data on the phenomena. Scaling laws for the time to reach maximum cavity sizes have been derived and provide a good fit to the experimental results. Transitions between the regimes for coalescence-only, the formation of a high-speed jet and bubble entrapment have been delineated. The high-speed jet was found to occur without bubble entrapment. This was caused by the rapid retraction of the trough formed by a capillary wave converging to the centre of the cavity base. The converging capillary wave has a profile similar to a Crapper wave. A plot showing the different regimes of cavity and impact drop behaviour in the Weber–Froude number-plane has been constructed for Fr and We less than 1000.

Set Up

An experimentally verified simulation of the elastic-dynamic behavior of a lever-type feed mechanism is presented. Based on a combination of experimental and analytical findings, simplified motion equations could be introduced. In the experimental set-up, the motion of the mechanism is monitored by three angular encoders, which are attached to the drive shaft, the rocker-link shaft, and the feed roller shaft, respectively. Their output, which is stored in a specially designed data acquisition system, allows the correlation of the instantaneous rotations of the feed roller and the rocker shafts to that of the drive shaft. Strain gages provide in and out-of-plane bending-strain histories of the bent coupler. Experiment and theory, for different loading conditions, are correlated by way of the coupler strain, the clutch windup angle and the total feed length. Good qualitative and quantitative agreement between computed and experimental results was found.

The Stability

The instabilities in a sinusoidally oscillating non-separated flow over smooth circular cylinders in the range of Keulegan–Carpenter numbers, K, from about 0.02 to 1 and Stokes numbers, β, from about 103 to 1.4 × 106 have been observed from inception to chaos using several high-speed imagers and laser-induced fluorescence. The instabilities ranged from small quasi-coherent structures, as in Stokes flow over a flat wall (Sarpkaya 1993), to three-dimensional spanwise perturbations because of the centrifugal forces induced by the curvature of the boundary layer (Taylor–Görtler instability). These gave rise to streamwise-oriented counter-rotating vortices or mushroom-shaped coherent structures as K approached the Kh values theoretically predicted by Hall (1984). Further increases in K for a given β led first to complex interactions between the coherent structures and then to chaotic motion. The mapping of the observations led to the delineation of four states of flow in the (K, β)-plane: stable, marginal, unstable, and chaotic.
